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.

the driver to lose control of the vehicle. This could
result in serious vehicle damage or personal in-
jury.
REMOTE CONTROL KEY SYSTEM
The Remote Control Key system can operate the
ignition switch without taking the key out from your
pocket or bag. The operating environment and/or
conditions may affect the Remote Control Key sys-
tem operation.
Some indicators and warnings for operation are dis-
played in the vehicle information display and/or in
the meter. (See “Warning lights, indicator lights and
audible reminders” in the “2. Instruments and
controls” section and “Vehicle information display”
in the “2. Instruments and controls” section.)
CAUTION
• Be sure to carry the Remote Control Key with
you when operating the vehicle.
• Never leave the Remote Control Key inside
the vehicle when you leave the vehicle. •
If the vehicle battery is discharged, the igni-
tion switch cannot be switched from the
“LOCK” position, and if the steering lock is
engaged, the steering wheel cannot be
moved. Charge the battery as soon as pos-
sible. (See “Remote Control Key battery
replacement” in the “8. Maintenance and
do-it-yourself” section.)
Operating range
The Remote Control Key can only be used for start-
ing the engine when the Remote Control Key is
within the specified operating range ➀as illus-
trated.
When the Remote Control Key battery is almost dis-
charged or strong radio waves are present near the
operating location, the Remote Control Key sys-
tem’s operating range becomes narrower and may
not function properly.

WARNING
• Apply the parking brake if the shift lever is in
any position while the engine is not running.
Failure to do so could cause the vehicle to
move unexpectedly or roll away and result in
serious personal injury or property damage. •
If the shift lever cannot be moved from the P
(Park) position while the engine is running and
the footbrake pedal is depressed, the stop
lights may not work. Malfunctioning stop
lights could cause an accident injuring your-
self and others.
After starting the engine, fully depress the footbrake
pedal, push the shift lever button and move the shift
lever out of the P(Park) position.
If the ignition switch is placed in the “OFF” or “ACC”
position for any reason while the shift lever is in any
positions other than the P(Park) position, the igni-
tion switch cannot be placed in the “LOCK” posi-
tion.
If the ignition switch cannot be placed in the “LOCK”
position, perform the following steps:
1. Apply the parking brake.
2. Place the ignition switch in the “ON” position
while depressing the footbrake pedal.
3. Move the shift lever to the P(Park) position.
4. Place the ignition switch in the “LOCK” position.
P( Park):
Use this position when the vehicle is parked or when
starting the engine. Make sure that the vehicle is
completely stopped and move the shift lever into
the P(Park) position. Apply the parking brake.
When parking on ahill, first depress the footbrake
pedal, apply the parking brake, and then move the
shift lever into the P(Park) position. R(
Reverse):
Use this position to reverse. Make sure that the
vehicle is completely stopped before selecting the R
(Reverse) position.
N( Neutral):
Neither the forward nor reverse gear is engaged.
The engine can be started in this position. You may
shift to the N(Neutral) position and restart astalled
engine while the vehicle is moving.
D( Drive):
Use this position for all normal forward driving.
Manual shift mode
When the shift lever is shifted to the manual shift
gate and moved up or down while driving, the trans-
mission enters the manual shift mode. Shift range
can be selected manually.
When shifting up, move the shift lever to the +(up)
side. The transmission shifts to the higher range.
When shifting down, move the shift lever to the −
(down) side. The transmission shifts to the lower
range.
When cancelling the manual shift mode, return the
shift lever to the “D” (Drive) position. The transmis-
sion returns to the normal driving mode.
In the manual shift mode, the shift range is displayed
in the vehicle information display between the speed-
ometer and tachometer. JVS0443X
5-20 Starting and driving
Shift ranges up or down one by one as follows:
M1
→
←M2→
←M3→
←M4→
←M5→
←M6→
←M7
M7(
7th):
Use this position for all normal forward driving at
highway speeds.
M6( 6th) andM5(5th):
Use these positions when driving up long slopes, or
for engine braking when driving down long slopes.
M4( 4th),M3(3rd) andM2(2nd):
Use these positions for hill climbing or engine brak-
ing on downhill grades.
M1( 1st):
Use this position when climbing steep hills slowly or
driving slowly through deep snow, or for maximum
engine braking on steep downhill grades.
• Remember not to drive at high speeds for ex-
tended periods of time in lower than 7th gear.
This reduces fuel economy.
• Moving the shift lever to the same side twice will
shift the ranges in succession. However, if this
motion is rapidly done, the second shifting may
not be completed properly.
• In the manual shift mode, the transmission
may not shift to the selected gear or may au-
tomatically shift to the other gear. This helps
maintain driving performance and reduces the
chance of vehicle damage or loss of control. •
When the transmission does not shift to the
selected gear, the Automatic Transmission
(AT) position indicator light (in the vehicle in-
formation display) will blink and the buzzer
will sound.
• In the manual shift mode, the transmission
automatically shifts down to 1st gear before
the vehicle comes to
astop. When accelerat-
ing again, it is necessary to shift up to the
desired range.
Accelerator downshift -inD(Drive)
position
For passing or climbing hills, depress the accelera-
tor pedal to the floor. This shifts the transmission
down into alower gear, depending on the vehicle
speed.
Shift lock release
If the battery is discharged, the shift lever may not
be moved from the P(Park) position even with the
brake pedal depressed. To release the shift lock, perform the following pro-
cedure:
1. Place the ignition switch in the “OFF” or “LOCK”
position.
2. Apply the parking brake.
3. Remove the shift lock cap jAa nd push down
the shift lock release button.
4. Push and hold the shift lever button and move the shift lever to the N(Neutral) position while
holding down the shift lock release button j
A.
Place the ignition switch in the “ON” position to
release the steering wheel lock.
The vehicle may be moved, by pushing, to the de-
sired location.
If the shift lever cannot be moved out of the P(Park)
position, have an approved dealer or qualified work-
shop check the AT system as soon as possible.
Fail-safe
When the fail-safe operation occurs, the AT will be
locked in any of the forward gears depending on
conditions.
If the vehicle is driven under extreme conditions,
such as excessive wheel spinning and subse-
quent hard braking, the fail-safe system may be
activated. This will occur even if all electrical cir-
cuits are functioning properly. In this case, place
the ignition switch in the “OFF” position and wait
for 3seconds. Then place the ignition switch back
in the “ON” position. The vehicle should return to JVS0444X
