“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.

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.

vehicle, including the boot, or, for ve-
hicles equipped with an automatic tail-
gate, opens the boot completely.

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.

please remember that the tempera-
ture inside the passenger compart-
ment increases very quickly.

element(s) (door, boot) open or incor-
rectly closed. Once the vehicle reaches a speed of

red seat for the first time activates

nary.
We would advise you not to recline
the seatbacks too far to ensure that
the effectiveness of the seat belts is
not reduced.
Nothing should be placed on the
floor (area in front of driver) as such
objects may slide under the pedal
during braking manoeuvres, thus
obstructing its use.
Operating faults
When an operating fault is detected,
the integrated warning lights on the
switch 5 for the seat concerned flash.
Consult an approved dealer.
