The RENAULT card is used 
for:
– locking/unlocking the doors and tailgate (doors, tailgate) and the fuel 
filler flap (see the following pages);
–  switch on the vehicle lighting remo- tely (refer to the following pages);
–  starting the engine; refer to the in- formation on “Starting the engine” in 
Section 2.
1  Unlocking the doors and tailgate.
2  Locking all doors and tailgate.
3  Switch on the courtesy lighting remo- tely.
4  Unlocking/locking the tailgate
5  Integrated key.
RENAULT CARD: general information (1/3)
When the battery is flat, you can 
still lock/unlock and start your vehi-
cle. Refer to the information on 
“Locking/unlocking the doors” in 
Section 1 and “Starting the engine” 
in Section 2.

Battery life
Make sure that the correct battery type 
is being used, and that the battery is 
in good condition and inserted cor-
rectly. Its service life is approximately 
two years: replace it when the mes-
sage «KEYCARD BATTERY LOW» ap-
pears on the instrument panel (refer to 
Section 5 «RENAULT card: battery").  

1.13
Locking the doors manually
Turn screw 2 with the door open (using 
the end of the key) and close the door.
This means that the doors are then 
locked from the outside.
The doors may then only be opened 
from the inside or by using the key in 
the front left-hand door.
Using the key integrated in 
the RENAULT card
Insert key 1 into the lock in the driver’s 
door and lock or unlock.
Locking/Unlocking the doors 
from the outside
This is done using the RENAULT Card; 
see the “RENAULT Card” information in 
Section 1.
In certain cases, the RENAULT card 
may not work:
–  if the RENAULT card battery is weak, flat, etc.
–  if equipment operating on the same  frequency as the card (mobile 
phones, etc.) is used;
–  vehicle located in a high electromag- netic radiation zone.
It is then possible:
–  to use the key integrated into the  card to unlock the front left-hand 
door;
–  to lock each of the doors manually;
–  to use the interior door locking/un- locking control (refer to the following 
pages).

1.18
Always wear your seat belt when trav-
elling in your vehicle. You must also 
comply with the legislation of the par-
ticular country you are in.
SEAT BELTS (1/3)
1
2
Incorrectly adjusted or 
twisted seat belts may 
cause injuries in the event 
of an accident.
Use one seat belt per person, 
whether child or adult.
Even pregnant women should wear 
a seat belt. In this case, ensure that 
the lap belt is not exerting too much 
pressure on the abdomen, but do 
not allow any slack.
Before starting, first adjust your driv-
ing position, then ask all occupants 
to adjust their seat belts to ensure 
optimum protection.
Adjusting your driving 
position
–  Sit well back in your seat  (having 
first removed your coat or jacket). 
This is essential to ensure your back 
is positioned correctly;
–  adjust the distance between the  seat and the pedals. Your seat 
should be as far back as possible 
while still allowing you to depress 
the clutch pedal fully. The seatback 
should be adjusted so that your arms 
are slightly bent when you hold the 
steering wheel;
–  adjust the position of your head- rest. For the maximum safety, your 
head must be as close as possible to 
the headrest;
–  adjust the height of the seat.  This 
adjustment allows you to select the 
seat position which offers you the 
best possible view ;
–  adjust the position of the steering 
wheel.
Adjusting the seat belts
Sit with your back firmly against the 
seatback.
Shoulder strap  1 should be as close as 
possible to the base of the neck but not 
on it.
Lap belt  2 should be worn flat over the 
thighs and against the pelvis.
The belt should be worn so that it is 
as close as possible to your body, i.e.: 
avoid wearing heavy clothing or keep-
ing bulky objects under the belts, etc.
Make sure that the rear bench seat 
is locked in position correctly so that 
the rear seat belts will operate effi-
ciently. Refer to the information on 
the “Rear bench seat: functions” in 
Section 3.  

1.22
Load limiter
Above a certain severity of impact, this 
mechanism is used to limit the force of 
the belt against the body so that it is at 
an acceptable level.
Airbags for driver and front 
passenger
Fitted to the driver and passenger side.
The presence of this equipment is in-
dicated by the word “Air bag” on the 
steering wheel and dashboard (air bag 
zone A) and, depending on the vehicle, 
a symbol on the lower section of the 
windscreen.
Each air bag system consists of:
–  an air bag and gas generator fitted on the steering wheel for the driver 
and in the dashboard for the front 
passenger;
–  an electronic unit for system monitor- ing which controls the gas generator 
electrical trigger system;
– a single 
å warning light on the 
instrument panel.
METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (2/4)
A
The air bag system uses 
pyrotechnic principles. This 
explains why, when the air 
bag inflates, it will gener-
ate heat, produce smoke (this does 
not mean that a fire is about to start) 
and make a noise upon detonation. 
In a situation where an air bag is 
required, it will inflate immediately 
and this may cause some minor, su-
perficial grazing to the skin or other 
problems.  

1.24
METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (4/4)
Warnings concerning the driver’s air bag
– Do not modify the steering wheel or the steering wheel boss.
– Do not cover the steering wheel boss under any circumstances.
–  Do not attach any objects (badge, logo, clock, telephone holder, etc.) to the steering wheel boss.
–  The steering wheel must not be removed (except by qualified personnel f\
rom our Network).
–  When driving, do not sit too close to the steering wheel. Sit with your \
arms slightly bent (see the information on “Adjusting  
your driving position” in Section 1). This will allow sufficient space for the air bag to deploy correctly and be fully effective.
Warnings concerning the passenger air bag
–  Do not attach or glue any objects (badge, logo, clock, telephone holder\
, etc.) to the dashboard on or near the air bag.
–  Do not place anything between the dashboard and the passenger (pet, umb\
rella, walking stick, parcels, etc.).
–  The passenger must not put his or her feet on the dashboard or seat as t\
here is a risk that serious injuries may occur. In  general, parts of the body should be kept away from the dashboard (knee\
s, hands, head, etc.).
–  The devices in addition to the front passenger seat belt should be react\
ivated as soon as a child seat is removed, to ensure  the protection of the passenger in the event of an impact.
A REAR-FACING CHILD SEAT MUST NOT BE FITTED TO THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT UNLESS THE ADDITIONAL RESTRAINT SYSTEMS, I.E. THE PASSENGER AIR BAG, ARE DEACTIVATED.
(refer to the information on “Child safety: deactivating/activating \
the front passenger air bag” in Section 1)
All of the warnings below are given so that the air bag is not obstructe\
d in any way when it is inflated and also to prevent 
the risk of serious injuries caused by items which may be dislodged when\
 the air bag inflates. 

1.28
CHILD SAFETY: General information (1/2)
Carrying children
Children, and adults, must be correctly 
seated and strapped in for all journeys. 
The children being carried in your vehi-
cle are your responsibility.
A child is not a miniature adult. Children 
are at risk of specific injuries as their 
muscles and bones have not yet fin-
ished growing. The seat belt alone 
would not provide suitable protection. 
Use an approved child seat and ensure 
you use it correctly.
A collision at 30 mph 
(50 km/h) is the same as fall-
ing a distance of 10 metres. 
Transporting a child without 
a restraint is the equivalent of allow-
ing him or her to play on a fourth-
floor balcony without railings.
Never travel with a child held in your 
arms. In the event of an accident, 
you will not be able to keep hold of 
the child, even if you yourself are 
wearing a seat belt.
If your vehicle has been involved in 
a road accident, replace the child 
seat and have the seat belts and 
ISOFIX anchorage points checked.
To prevent the doors being 
opened, use the “Child 
safety” device (refer to the 
information on “Opening 
and closing the doors” in Section 1).
Driver’s responsibility 
when parking or stopping 
the vehicle
Never leave an animal, 
child or adult who is not self-suffi-
cient alone on your vehicle, even for 
a short time.
They may pose a risk to themselves 
or to others by starting the engine, 
activating equipment such as the 
electric windows or by locking the 
doors.
Also, in hot and/or sunny weather, 
please remember that the tempera-
ture inside the passenger compart-
ment increases very quickly.
RISK OF DEATH OR SERIOUS 
INJURY.
