RENAULT “HANDS-FREE” CARD: use (2/3)
Locking the vehicle
There are three ways to lock the ve-
hicle: remotely, using the button  3, or 
using the RENAULT card.
Remote locking
With the RENAULT card on you, and 
doors and tailgate closed, move away 
from the vehicle: it will lock automati-
cally once you have left zone  1.
Note: the distance at which the vehicle 
locks depends on the surroundings. The hazard warning lights 
flash twice 
and a beep sounds to indicate that the 
doors have locked.
The beep may be switched off. Consult 
an approved dealer
If a door or the tailgate is open or not 
properly closed, or a card is in the 
passenger compartment (or the card 
reader) the vehicle will not lock. In this 
situation,  no beep sounds and the 
hazard warning lights do not flash. Locking using the button 
3
If you want to lock your vehicle, the card 
must be nearby (adjacent garage etc.), 
with the door and boot closed. Press 
button  3 on the handle of the driver’s 
door. The vehicle will lock. If a door or 
the boot is open or not closed properly, 
the vehicle will quickly lock/unlock.
Note: a RENAULT card must be within 
the vehicle's access zone (zone  1) to 
be able to lock the vehicle using the 
button.
Special note
If you wish to check that the doors are 
locked after locking using the button  3, 
you have approximately  three seconds 
to try the door handles without unlock-
ing them.
After this delay, the hands-free mode 
is activated once again and any move-
ment of a handle will unlock the vehicle.
1
If the vehicle is fitted with remote window closing, two quick presses o\
n the button  3 automatically causes all the windows to 
close and the doors to lock (please see the information on “Electric\
 windows, Electric sunroof” in Section 3).

To deactivate deadlocking
Unlock the vehicle using button 1 on 
the RENAULT card.
The hazard warning lights flash once to 
indicate that the doors have been un-
locked.
RENAULT CARD: deadlocking
If the vehicle is equipped with a dead-
locking function, this allows you to lock 
the opening elements and to prevent 
the doors from being unlocked using 
the interior handles (for example, by 
breaking the window and then trying to 
open the door from the inside).
Never use deadlocking if 
someone is still inside the 
vehicle.
To activate deadlocking
You can choose between two deadlock-
ing activation modes:
– press button  2 twice in quick succes-
sion;
–  or, press the button on the driver’s  door handle  3 twice in quick succes-
sion.
The hazard warning lights flash five  
times to indicate locking.
Activating deadlocking also re-
motely closes the windows and/or 
the electric sunroof, on equipped 
vehicles.
After activating the deadlocking 
function using button  2, remote 
locking and unlocking in hands-free 
mode are deactivated.
To reactivate the “hands-free” mode: 
restart the vehicle.

SIDE PROTECTION DEVICES
Warning concerning the side air bag
– Fitting seat covers: seats equipped with an air bag require covers 
specifically designed for your vehicle. Contact an approved Dealer to fi\
nd 
out if these covers are available. The use of any covers other than those 
designed for your vehicle (including those designed for another vehicle\
) may 
affect the operation of the air bags and reduce your protection.
–  Do not place any accessories, objects or even pets between the seatback,\
 the  door and the internal fittings. Do not cover the seatback with any items\
 such as 
clothes or accessories. This may prevent the air bag from operating correctly 
or cause injury when the air bag is deployed.
–  No work or modification whatsoever may be carried out on the seat or int\
ernal  fittings, except by qualified personnel from an approved dealer.
Side air bags
These air bags are fitted to the front 
seats and are activated at the sides of 
the seats (door side) to protect the oc-
cupants in the event of a severe side 
impact.
Curtain air bags
These are air bags fitted along the sides 
of the vehicle in the ceiling which trigger 
along the front and rear side windows 
to protect the passengers in case of a 
severe side impact.

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 falling a distance of 
10 metres.  Transporting  a 
child without a restraint is the equi-
valent of allowing 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.

ture inside the passenger compart-
ment increases very quickly.

CHILD SAFETY: General information (2/2)
Using a child seat
The level of protection offered by the 
child seat depends on its ability to re-
strain your child and on its installation. 
Incorrect installation compromises the 
protection it offers the child in the event 
of harsh braking or an impact.
Before purchasing a child seat, check 
that it complies with the regulations for 
the country you are in and that it can 
be fitted in your vehicle. Consult an ap-
proved dealer to find out which seats 
are recommended for your vehicle.
Before fitting a child seat, read the 
manual and respect its instructions. If 
you experience any difficulties during 
installation, contact the manufacturer 
of the equipment. Keep the instructions 
with the seat.Set a good example by always fas-
tening your seat belt and teaching 
your child:
–  to strap themselves in correctly;
–  to always get in and out of the car  at the kerb, away from busy traf-
fic.
Do not use a second-hand child 
seat or one without an instruction 
manual.
Check that there are no objects in 
the vicinity of the child seat which 
could impede its operation.
Never leave a child unat-
tended in the vehicle.
Check that your child is 
always strapped in and that 
the belt or safety harness used is 
correctly set and adjusted. Avoid 
wearing bulky clothing which could 
cause the belts to slacken.
Never let your child put their head or 
arms out of the window.
Check that the child is in the correct 
position for the entire journey, espe-
cially if asleep. 

1.33
CHILD SAFETY: choosing a child seat mounting (1/2)
There are two ways of attaching child 
seats: via the seat belt or using the 
ISOFIX system.
Attachment via the seat belt
The seat belt must be adjusted to 
ensure that it is effective in the event of 
harsh braking or an impact.
Ensure that the strap paths indicated 
by the child seat manufacturer are re-
spected.
Always check that the seat belt is cor-
rectly fastened by pulling it up, then 
pulling it out fully whilst pressing on the 
child seat.
Check that the seat is correctly held by 
moving it from side to side and back 
to front: the seat should  remain firmly 
fixed.
Check that the child seat has not been 
installed at an angle and that it is not 
resting against a window.
No modifications may be 
made to the component 
parts of the restraint system 
(ISOFIX seat belts, seats 
and their mountings) originally fitted.
The seat belt must never 
be twisted or the tension 
relieved. Never pass the 
shoulder strap under the 
arm or behind the back.
Check that the seat belt has not 
been damaged by sharp edges.
If the seat belt does not operate nor-
mally, it will not protect the child. 
Consult an approved dealer. Do not 
use this seat until the seat belt has 
been repaired.
Do not use the child seat 
if it may unfasten the seat 
belt restraining it: the base 
of the seat must not rest on 
the buckle and/or catch of the seat 
belt.
Attachment using the ISOFIX  
system
Authorised ISOFIX child seats are ap-
proved in accordance with regulation 
ECE-R44 in one of the three following 
scenarios:
–  ISOFIX universal 3-point forward- facing seat;
–  ISOFIX semi-universal 2-point seat;
– specific.
For the latter two, check that your child 
seat can be installed by consulting the 
list of compatible vehicles.
Attach the child seat with the ISOFIX 
locks, if these are provided. The ISOFIX 
system allows quick, easy, safe fitting.
The ISOFIX system consists of 2 rings 
and, in some cases, a third ring.Before using an ISOFIX 
child seat that you pur-
chased for another vehicle, 
check that its installation is 
authorised. Consult the list of ve-
hicles which can be fitted with the 
seat from the equipment manufac-
turer.
