REMOTE CONTROL KEY
OPERATING RANGE
The Remote Control Key functions can only be used
when the Remote Control Key is within the speci-
fied operating range from the request switch ➀.
When the Remote Control Key battery is discharged
or strong radio waves are present near the operat-
ing location, the Remote Control Key system’s op-
erating range becomes narrower, and the Remote
Control Key may not function properly.
The operating range is within 80 cm (31.50 in) from
each request switch ➀.
If the Remote Control Key is too close to the door
glass or door handle, the request switches may not
function.
When the Remote Control Key is within the operat-
ing range, it is possible for anyone, even someone
who does not carry the Remote Control Key, to
push the request switch to lock/unlock the doors. USING REMOTE CONTROL KEY
SYSTEM
The request switch will not function under the fol-
lowing conditions:
•
When another Remote Control Key is left inside
the vehicle
• When the Remote Control Key is not within the
operational range
• When any door is open or not closed securely
• When the Remote Control Key battery is dis-
charged
• When the ignition switch is in the
ACCorON
position
The Remote Control Key system (opening/closing
doors with the door handle request switch) can be
set to remain inactive. (See “[Vehicle Settings]” in
the “2. Instruments and controls” section.) •
Do not push the door handle request switch with
the Remote Control Key held in your hand as
illustrated. The close distance to the door handle
will cause the Remote Control Key system to
have difficulty recognising that the Remote Con-
trol Key is outside the vehicle.
• After locking the doors using the door handle
request switch, make sure that the doors have
been securely locked by operating the door
handles.
• When locking the doors using the door handle
request switch, make sure to have the Remote
Control Key in your possession before operating
the door handle request switch to prevent the
Remote Control Key from being left in the ve-
hicle.
• The door handle request switch is operational
only when the Remote Control Key has been
detected by the Remote Control Key system. JVP0312XZ NIC3086 SP A2407Z

How to activate system (where fitted)
1. Close all windows.
The system can be armed even if the windows
are open.
2. Place the ignition switch in the OFF position.
3. Carry the integrated key fob or the Remote Con- trol Key with you and get out of the vehicle.
4. Close and lock all doors. The doors can be locked with the integrated key fob, the Remote
Control Key, door handle request switch (where
fitted), power door lock switch or mechanical
key.
5. Confirm that the security indicator light comes on. The security indicator light glows for about
30 seconds and then blinks. The system is now
activated. If, during this 30 second time period,
the door is unlocked or the ignition switch is
placed in the ACC or ON position, the system
will not activate.
Even when the driver and/or passengers are in
the vehicle, the system will activate with all doors
locked with the ignition switch in the LOCK posi-
tion. When pushing the ignition switch to the ACC
or ON position, the system will be released.
Theft warning system operation
The vehicle security system will give the following
alarm:
• The hazard indicator blinks and the horn sounds
intermittently. •
The alarm automatically turns off after approxi-
mately 30 seconds. However, the alarm reacti-
vates if the vehicle is tampered with again.
The alarm is activated by:
• Unlocking the door without using the integrated
key fob, the Remote Control Key, the door handle
request switch (where fitted) or the mechanical
key. (Even if the door is opened by releasing the
door inside lock knob, the alarm will activate.)
How to stop alarm
• The alarm will stop only by unlocking
adoor by
pushing the UNLOCK button on the Remote
Control Key.
• The alarm will not stop if the ignition switch is
placed in the ACC or ON position.
ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM (ATS)
The Anti-Theft System (ATS) will not allow the en-
gine to start without the use of the registered ATS
key.
If the engine does not start using the registered ATS
key, it may be due to interference caused by:
• Another ATS key.
• Automated toll road device.
• Automated payment device.
• Other devices that transmit similar signals. Start the engine using the following procedure:
1. Remove any items that may be causing the inter-
ference away from the ATS key.
2. Leave the ignition switch in the ON position for approximately 5seconds.
3. Place the ignition switch in the OFF or LOCK position, and wait approximately 10 seconds.
4. Repeat steps 2and 3again.
5. Start the engine.
6. Repeat the steps above until all possible interfer- ences are eliminated.
If this procedure allows the engine to start,
RENAULT recommends placing the registered ATS
key separate from other devices to avoid interfer-
ence.
If ATS is malfunctioning, this light will remain on
while the ignition switch is in the ON position.
If the light remains on and/or the engine does
not start, contact an approved dealer or qualified
workshop for ATS service as soon as possible.
Be sure to bring all Remote Control Keys that you
have when visiting an approved dealer for ser-
vice.
