LOCKING, UNLOCKING THE DOORS (3/3)
Interior locking/unlocking
door control
Switch 7 controls the doors, the boot
and the fuel filler flap simultaneously.
If a door or the tailgate is open or not
closed properly, the doors and tailgate
lock/unlock quickly.
If transporting an object with the tail-
gate open, you can still lock the doors:
with the engine stopped, press and
hold switch 7 for more than five sec-
onds to lock the other doors.
Locking the opening
elements without the
RENAULT card or the key
For example, in the event of a dis-
charged battery or the RENAULT card
or key temporarily not working, etc.
With the engine switched off and a
door or tailgate open, press and hold
switch 7 for more than five seconds.
When the door is closed, all the doors
and the tailgate will be locked.
Unlocking the vehicle from the outside
is only possible with the RENAULT card
in the vehicle’s access zone or using
the key.
Door and tailgate status
indicator
When the ignition is on, the indicator
light integrated in switch 7 informs you
of the status of the doors and tailgate:
– indicator light on, the doors and tail- gate are locked;
– indicator light off, the doors and tail- gate are unlocked.
When you lock the doors from the out-
side, the indicator light remains lit for a
moment, and then goes out.
Never leave your vehicle
with the key or RENAULT
card inside.

AUTOMATIC LOCKING WHEN DRIVING
Operating principleAfter the vehicle is started, the system
automatically locks the doors when you
are driving at approximately 6 mph
(10 km/h) and over.
The door can be unlocked:
– by pressing central door unlocking
switch 2.
– at a standstill, by opening a front
door from inside the vehicle.
Note: if a door is opened or closed, it
will automatically lock again when the
vehicle reaches a speed of 6 mph
(10 km/h).
Activating/deactivating the
function
To switch it on: with the vehicle at a
standstill and the engine running, press
switch 2 until a beep sounds.
To deactivate: with the vehicle at a
standstill and the engine running, press
switch 2 until two beeps sound.
You can also activate/deactivate the
function from the menu on the multime-
dia screen 1 (Refer to the information
on the “Vehicle settings customisation
menu” section 1, “Auto door locking
while driving” function).
Operating faults
If you experience an operating fault (no
automatic locking, the indicator light in-
corporated in switch 2 does not light up
when trying to lock the doors and boot,
etc.), make sure that locking has not
been deactivated by mistake and check
that the doors and boot are properly
closed. If they are correctly locked and
the fault is still present, contact an au-
thorised dealer.

Driver’s responsibility
If you decide to keep the
doors locked when you are

may be more difficult for those as-
sisting you to gain access to the
passenger compartment in the
event of an emergency.

SEAT BELTS (2/4)
Locking
Unwind the belt slowly and smoothly
and ensure that buckle 3 locks into
catch 5 (check that it is locked by pull- ing on buckle 3).
If the belt jams, allow it to return slightly
before attempting to unwind it again.
If your seat belt is completely jammed,
pull slowly, but firmly, so that just over
3 cm unwinds. Allow it to return slightly
before attempting to unwind it again.
If there is still a problem, contact an ap-
proved dealer.

ßDriver’s seat belt reminder
and, depending on the vehi-
cle, front passenger seat belt re-
minder
This lights up on the central display
when the engine is started. If the driv-
er’s or front passenger’s seat belt (if
this seat is occupied) is not fastened
and the vehicle has reached approxi-
mately 12.4 mph (20 km/h), it flashes
and a bleep sounds for around 120 sec-
onds.
Note: an object placed on the passen-
ger seat base may activate the warning
light in some cases.
Rear seat belt reminder
The warning light
ß lights up on
the central display accompanied, de-
pending on the vehicle, by a message
indicating the number of seat belts
buckled (for approximately 30 seconds)
or the graphic 6.
In all cases, these messages appear
with each:
– starting the vehicle;
– opening a door;
– fastening or unfastening of a rear seat belt (for this case, the informa-
tion is accompanied by a beep last-
ing approximately 30 seconds). Check that the rear passengers are
wearing seat belts and that the number
of seat belts shown as fastened cor-
responds to the number of rear seat
places occupied.
On the graphic 6:
– marker in green: seat belt fastened;
– marker in red: seat belt unfastened.
Unfastening
Press button 4 and the seat belt will be
rewound by the inertia reel. Guide the
belt.

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (3/4)
Operation
This system is only operational when
the ignition is switched on.
In a severe frontal impact, the airbags
inflate rapidly, cushioning the impact
of the driver's head and chest against
the steering wheel and of the front pas-
senger against the dashboard. The air
bags then deflate immediately so that
the passengers are not in any way hin-
dered from leaving the vehicle.
Operating faults
å This warning light comes on
when the engine is started and then
goes out after approximately three sec-
onds.
If it does not come on when the ignition
is switched on or if it stays on, there is a
fault in the system.
Contact your approved Dealer as soon
as possible.
Your protection will be reduced until this
fault is rectified.

1.37
CHILD SAFETY: General information (1/2)
Carrying children
Please ensure that you comply with the
legislation of your country.
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 fall-
ing a distance of 10 metres.
Transporting a child without
a restraint is the equivalent of allow-
ing 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.
Also, in hot and/or sunny weather,
please remember that the tempera-
ture inside the passenger compart-
ment increases very quickly.

INJURY.
