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.

Closing the tailgate
When closing the tailgate, make sure that the latches
or levers are securely locked.
TIE DOWN HOOKS (where fitted)
For your convenience, four tie down hooks are
placed on the inside of the cargo bed. These may be
used to help secure cargo loaded into the cargo
bed.
• The weight of the cargo load must be evenly dis-
tributed over both the front and rear axles.
• All cargo should be securely fastened with ropes
or straps to prevent it from shifting or sliding
within the vehicle.
C-CHANNEL SYSTEM (where fitted) WARNING
• Properly install and tighten the tie-down cleats
into the C-Channel system. Also, do not at-
tach any rope or straps directly to the chan- nel. Failure to properly install the tie-down
cleats or attaching ropes or straps directly to
the channel can cause the cargo to become
unsecured. In
asudden stop or collision, un-
secured cargo could cause personal injury.
• Properly secure all cargo with ropes or straps
to help prevent it from sliding or shifting. In a
sudden stop or collision, unsecured cargo
could cause personal injury.
• Do not place cargo higher than the seatbacks.
In
as udden stop or collision, unsecured cargo
could cause personal injury.
• Overloading not only can shorten the life of
your vehicle and the tyre, but can also cause
unsafe vehicle handling and longer braking
distances. This may cause
apremature tyre
failure which could result in aserious acci-
dent and personal injury. Failures caused by
overloading are not covered by the vehicle’s
warranty.
• Do not install accessories over the gap be-
tween the front and rear side channels. Doing
so could affect the rear structure in certain
rear impacts, which could result in serious
injury.
The C-Channel system allows you to move tie-down
clamps in the bed to the best location to secure a
load.
The tie-down cleats must be installed so the clamp
is properly seated in the notches in the rail. If the tie- down cleat is not seated in the notches, it will not be
properly tightened. The bolt in the centre of the cleat
must be securely tightened.
Check the tightness of the tie-down cleat periodi-
cally during
atrip to make sure the centre bolt has
not become loose.
➀ Side channels
Install the tie-down cleat as follows:
1. Loosen the centre bolt completely. JVP0314XZ

• Applying loads at angles to the cleats that are
greater than 45° or loads greater than 90 kg
(200 lb) may cause damage to the channel or
the bed. STEERING WHEEL ADJUSTMENT WARNING
