Welcome to your new vehicle
The descriptions of the models given in this handbook are based on the t\
echnical specifications at the time of writing. This hand-
book covers all items of equipment (both standard and optional) available for these models but whether or not these are
fitted to the vehicle depends on the version, options selected and the c\
ountry where the vehicle is sold.
This handbook may also contain information about items of equipment to b\
e introduced later in the model year.
Throughout the manual, the “approved Dealer” is your RENAULT Dealer. To indicate a hazard, danger or safety recommendation.
Enjoy driving your new vehicle.

RENAULT CARD: general information (2/2)
Advice
Avoid leaving the card in hot, cold or
humid areas.
Do not keep the RENAULT card in
a place where it could be bent or
damaged accidentally, such as in a
back pocket of a garment.
Replacement: need for an
additional RENAULT Card
If you lose your RENAULT card or
require another, you can obtain one
from an approved dealer.
If a RENAULT card is replaced, it
will be necessary to take the vehi-
cle and all of its RENAULT cards
to an approved dealer to initialise
the system.
You may use up to four RENAULT
cards per vehicle.
Distance lighting function
Pressing button 4 switches on the
dipped beam headlights, the indicator
lights and the interior lighting for ap-
proximately 30 seconds. This can be
used, for example, to identify the vehi-
cle from a distance when parked in a
car park.
Note: Pressing button 4 again switches
off the lighting.
4
Driver’s responsibility
when parking or stopping
the vehicle
Never leave an animal,
child or adult who is not self-suffi-
cient alone in 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 locking the
doors, for example.
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.

1.5
RENAULT “HANDS-FREE” CARD: usage (2/4)
“Hands-free” locking using the
sensor 3
If you wish to lock your vehicle while the
card is within range, make sure that the
doors and boot are closed and place
your finger over the sensor 3 on the
driver’s door handle. The vehicle will
lock.
Note: The sensor cannot be used to
lock the vehicle unless the RENAULT
card is within the access zone 1.
Special features of the locking
system
Having locked the vehicle by pressing
the sensor 3, there is a delay of approx-
imately 3 seconds before it can be un-
locked again. During these 3 seconds,
the door handles can be tried to make
sure that the vehicle is locked properly.
If a door is open or not properly closed:
– when locking using the sensor 3,
the vehicle will lock/unlock in quick
succession, but the hazard warning
lights will not flash;
– the vehicle will not lock as you move away.
3
Remote “Hands-free” locking
With the RENAULT card on you, and
doors and boot closed, move away
from the vehicle: it will lock automati-
cally as soon as you leave the access
zone.
Note: The distance at which the vehicle
locks depends on the surroundings.
To indicate that the doors have been
locked, the hazard warning lights
flash once and then light up for ap-
proximately four seconds, and a beep
sounds in confirmation.
4
“Hands-free” unlocking
With the RENAULT card in zone 1 ,
place your hand on a door handle 2: the
vehicle will unlock.
The hazard warning lights flash once
to indicate that the doors have been un-
locked.
Pressing button 4 unlocks the whole
vehicle, including the boot, or, for ve-
hicles equipped with an automatic tail-
gate, opens the boot completely.

1.7
Locking/unlocking only the
boot
With vehicles not equipped with an au-
tomatic tailgate, press the button 8 to
lock/unlock the boot only.
If, while the engine is running, a door
is opened and closed, and the card is
no longer in the zone 7, the message
Keycard not detected indicates that the
card is not inside the vehicle. This will,
for example, prevent you from driving
away after dropping off a passenger
who has kept the card on them.
The warning disappears when the card
is detected again.

RENAULT “HANDS-FREE” CARD: usage (4/4)
Driver’s responsibility
when parking or stopping
the vehicle
Never leave an animal,
child or adult who is not self-suffi-
cient alone in 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 locking the
doors, for example.
Also, in hot and/or sunny weather,
please remember that the tempera-
ture inside the passenger compart-
ment increases very quickly.

INJURY.

LOCKING, UNLOCKING THE DOORS (3/3)
Interior locking/unlocking
door control
Switch 5 controls the doors, the boot
and 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 carry a load with the
boot open, you can still lock everything
else: with the engine stopped, press
switch 5 for more than five seconds to
lock the other opening elements.
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 5 for more
than five seconds.
When the door is closed, all the doors
and 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.
Door and tailgate status
indicator
With the RENAULT card inside the
passenger compartment, press the
button START. The light built into the
switch 5 will indicate whether the open-
ing elements are locked or not.
– 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 from the out-
side, the indicator light remains lit for a
moment, and then goes out.
Never leave your vehicle
with the RENAULT card
inside.

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.

1.14
AUTOMATIC LOCKING WHEN DRIVING
Operating principleAfter the vehicle is started, the system
automatically locks the doors when you
are driving at approximately 6 mph
(10 km/h) and over.
The door can be unlocked:
– by pressing central door unlocking
switch 2.
– at a standstill, by opening a front
door from inside the vehicle.
Note: if a door is opened or closed, it
will automatically lock again when the
vehicle reaches a speed of 6 mph
(10 km/h).
Activating/deactivating the
function
To switch it on: with the vehicle at a
standstill and the engine running, press
switch 2 until a beep sounds.
To deactivate: with the vehicle at a
standstill and the engine running, press
switch 2 until two beeps sound.
You can also deactivate/activate the
function from the menu on the multi-
function screen 1 (refer to the informa-
tion on the “Vehicle settings customisa-
tion menu” section 1, “Auto door locking
while driving” function).
Operating faults
If you experience an operating fault (no
automatic locking, the indicator light in-
corporated in switch 2 does not light up
when trying to lock the doors and boot,
etc.), make sure that locking has not
been deactivated by mistake and check
that the doors and boot are properly
closed. If they are correctly locked and
the fault is still present, contact an au-
thorised dealer.
2
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.
