When the levers are in the lock position
➀,t
he
child safety rear door locks engage and the rear
doors can only be opened by the outside door
handles.
To disengage, move the levers to the unlock posi-
tion ➁. The remote keyless entry system can operate all
door locks using the integrated key fob. The inte-
grated key fob can operate at
adistance of approxi-
mately 1m(3.3 ft) away from the vehicle. The oper-
ating distance depends upon the conditions around
the vehicle.
As many as 5integrated key fobs can be used with
one vehicle. For information about the purchase and
use of additional integrated key fobs, contact an
approved dealer or qualified workshop.
The integrated key fob will not function under the
following conditions:
• When the distance between the integrated key
fob and vehicle is more than approximately 1m
(3.3 ft).
• When the integrated key fob battery is
discharged.
• When the key is in the ignition switch.
CAUTION
• When locking the doors using the integrated
key fob, be sure not to leave the key in the
vehicle.
• Do not allow the integrated key fob, which
contains electrical components, to come into
contact with water or salt water. This could
affect the system function.
• Do not drop the integrated key fob.
• Do not strike the remote controller sharply
against another object. •
Do not place the integrated key fob for an
extended period in an area where tempera-
tures exceed 60°C (140°F).
If ai ntegrated key fob is lost or stolen, RENAULT
recommends erasing the ID code of that integrated
key fob from the vehicle. This may prevent the
unauthorised use of the integrated key fob to unlock
the vehicle. For information regarding the erasing
procedure, contact an approved dealer or qualified
workshop.
For information regarding the replacement of abat-
tery, see “Remote controller battery replacement” in
the “8. Maintenance and do-it-yourself” section.
USING REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY
SYSTEM WARNING
For Super Lock System equipped models, failure
to follow the precautions below may lead to haz-
ardous situations. Make sure the Super Lock Sys-
tem activation is always safely conducted.
• When the vehicle is occupied, never lock the
doors with the integrated key fob. Doing so
will trap the occupants, since the Super Lock
System prevents the doors from being opened
from the inside of the vehicle.
• Only operate the integrated key fob lock but-
ton when there is
aclear view of the vehicle.
This is to prevent anybody from being trapped
inside the vehicle through the Super Lock
System activation.
REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY
SYSTEM (where fitted)
3-6 Pre-driving checks and adjustments

The Remote Control Key is always communicating
with the vehicle as it receives radio waves. The Re-
mote Control Key system transmits weak radio
waves. Environmental conditions may interfere with
the operation of the Remote Control Key system
under the following operating conditions.
• When operating near
alocation where strong
radio waves are transmitted, such as aTVtower,
power station and broadcasting station.
• When in possession of wireless equipment, such
as am obile telephone, transceiver, and CB ra-
dio.
• When the Remote Control Key is in contact with
or covered by metallic materials.
• When any type of radio wave remote control is
used nearby.
• When the Remote Control Key is placed near an
electric appliance such as
apersonal computer.
In such cases, correct the operating conditions be-
fore using the Remote Control Key function or use
the mechanical key.
Although the life of the battery varies depending on
the operating conditions, the battery’s life is approxi-
mately 2years. If the battery is discharged, replace
it with anew one.
For information regarding replacement of abattery,
see “Remote Control Key battery replacement” in
the “8. Maintenance and do-it-yourself” section.
Since the Remote Control Key is continuously re-
ceiving radio waves, if the key is left near equipment which transmits strong radio waves, such as signals
from
aTVa nd personal computer, the battery life
may become shorter.
Because the steering wheel is locked electrically,
unlocking the steering wheel with the ignition switch
in the LOCK position is impossible when the vehicle
battery is completely discharged. Pay special atten-
tion that the vehicle battery is not completely dis-
charged.
As many as 4Remote Control Keys can be regis-
tered and used with one vehicle. For information
about the purchase and use of additional Remote
Control Keys, contact an approved dealer or quali-
fied workshop.
CAUTION
• Do not allow the Remote Control Key, which
contains electrical components, to come into
contact with water or salt water. This could
affect the system function.
• Do not drop the Remote Control Key.
• Do not strike the Remote Control Key sharply
against another object.
• Do not change or modify the Remote Control
Key.
• Wetting may damage the Remote Control Key.
If the Remote Control Key gets wet, immedi-
ately wipe until it is completely dry.
• If the outside temperature is below −10°C
(14°F), the battery of the Remote Control Key
may not function properly. •
Do not place the Remote Control Key for an
extended period in an area where tempera-
tures exceed 60°C (140°F).
• Do not attach the Remote Control Key to a
key holder that contains
amagnet.
• Do not place the Remote Control Key near
equipment that produces
amagnetic field,
such as aTV, audio equipment and personal
computers.
If an Remote Control Key is lost or stolen, RENAULT
recommends erasing the ID code of that Remote
Control Key from the vehicle. This may prevent the
unauthorised use of the Remote Control Key to op-
erate the vehicle. For information regarding the eras-
ing procedure, contact an approved dealer or quali-
fied workshop.
The Remote Control Key function can be disabled.
For information about disabling the Remote Control
Key function, contact an approved dealer or quali-
fied workshop.

Air conditioner filter
The air conditioner system is equipped with an air
conditioner filter which collects and neutralises dirt,
pollen, dust, etc. To make sure that the air condi-
tioner heats, defogs and ventilates efficiently, re-
place the filter in accordance with the specified
maintenance intervals listed in the separate mainte-
nance booklet. To replace the filter, contact an ap- proved dealer or qualified workshop.
The filter should be replaced if the air flow decreases
significantly or if windows fog up easily when oper-
ating the heater or air conditioner. AUDIO OPERATION PRECAUTIONS WARNING
Do not adjust the audio system while driving so
that full attention may be given to vehicle opera-
tion.
Radio
• Radio reception is affected by station signal
strength, distance from radio transmitter, build-
ings, bridges, mountains and other external influ-
ences. Intermittent changes in reception quality
normally are caused by these external influences.
• Using
amobile phone in or near the vehicle may
influence radio reception quality. Compact Disc (CD) player
