30 seconds of unlocking the door
using the remote control, the doors
will lock again automatically.

RADIO FREQUENCY REMOTE CONTROL (continued)
Interference
Interference may be caused to the
operation of the remote control by
factors in the immediate vicinity
(external installations or the use of
equipment operating on the same
frequency as the remote control).
If you lose your keys or need
another set of keys (or a remote
control), contact your Renault
Dealer.
• If a key is replaced, it will be
necessary to take the vehicle to
your Renault Dealer because
both the vehicle and all the keys
are needed to initialise the
system.
•No more than four keys
(including the remote controls)
canbeusedononevehicle.
If the plip remote control will not
operate:
•Make sure that the batteries are
always in good condition - they
last for approximately two years.
• Check that the remote control is
correctly synchronised.
In both cases refer to the
information on the remote control
batteries in section 5.
