or to others by starting the engine, 
activating equipment such as the 
electric windows or locking the 
doors.
Also, in hot and/or sunny weather,

ture inside the passenger compart-
ment increases very quickly.
RISK OF DEATH OR SERIOUS 
INJURY.  

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).

LOCKING/UNLOCKING THE DOORS (2/2)
Door and tailgate status 
indicator
With the ignition on, the warning light 
integrated in switch  3 informs you of the 
locking status of the opening elements:
–  indicator light on, the doors and tail- gate are locked,
–  indicator light off, the doors and tail- gate are unlocked.
When you lock the doors, the indicator 
light remains lit and then goes out.
Locking the doors without 
the RENAULT card
For example, in the event of a dis-
charged battery or the RENAULT card 
temporarily not working, etc.
With the engine switched off and 
an opening element (door or boot) 
open,  press and hold switch  3 for more 
than five seconds.
When the door is closed, all the doors 
and the tailgate will be locked.
Unlocking the vehicle from the outside 
is only possible with the RENAULT card 
in the vehicle's access zone or using 
the key integrated in the RENAULT 
card.
Interior locking/unlocking 
door control
Switch  3 controls the doors, boot and, 
depending on the vehicle, the fuel filler 
flap simultaneously.
If a door or the tailgate is open or not 
closed properly, the doors and tailgate 
lock/unlock quickly.
If you need to transport objects with the 
boot open, the other opening elements 
can still be locked:  with the engine 
stopped,   press switch 3 for more than 
five seconds to lock the other opening 
elements.

After locking/unlocking the vehicle 
using the buttons on the RENAULT 
card, "hands-free" locking and un-
locking is deactivated.
To reactivate the “hands-free” mode: 
restart the vehicle.Driver’s responsibility
If you decide to keep the 
doors locked when you are 
driving, remember that it 
may be more difficult for those as-
sisting you to gain access to the 
passenger compartment in the 
event of an emergency.
Never leave your vehicle 
with the RENAULT card 
inside.
