lock/unlock the vehicle without using 
any of the RENAULT card’s buttons, 
as long as the card is within the access 
zone 1.
Note: It is possible to disable “hands-
free” access using the multifunction 
screen (please see the equipment in-
structions).

activating equipment such as the 
electric windows or locking the 
doors.
Also, in hot and/or sunny weather, 
please remember that the tempera-
ture inside the passenger compart-

nees, 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.
