WelcometoyournewRENAULT

This driver’s handbook contains the information necessary:

• to enable you to get to know your Renault, to use it to the best advantage and to benefit from all the latest technical

developments which are incorporated in it;

• to ensure that it is always running well by following the simple - but strict - advice concerning regular maintenance;

• to enable you to deal quickly with minor incidents not requiring specialist attention.

The few minutes you spend reading this handbook will be amply rewarded by the information which it provides and the

technical innovations it will bring to your attention. If certain points are still unclear, the technicians in our Network will be

only too pleased to provide you with any additional information you require.

The following symbols will help you when reading this handbook:

To emphasise a risk or danger or draw your attention to safety information.

The description of the models given in this handbook is based on the technical specifications at the time of writing. This

handbook covers all items of equipment (both standard and optional) available for these models but whether or not

these are fitted to the vehicle depends on the version, options selected and the country where the vehicle is sold.

Also, this handbook may contain information about items of equipment to be introduced later in the year.

Enjoy driving your new Renault.

KEYS / REMOTE CONTROL DOOR LOCKS

1Radio frequency remote control

locking unit, ignition key, key for

doors, luggage compartment and

fuel filler flap.

2Ignition key, key for doors,

luggage compartment and fuel

filler cap.

If there is a child (or

animal) in the car, never

leave it unattended with

the key in the ignition.

With the key in the ignition it

would be possible to operate

electrical equipment such as the

window risers and there is a risk

that the child may be seriously

injured (by trapping his or her

neck, arm, hand, etc.).

RADIO FREQUENCY REMOTE CONTROL DOOR LOCKING

The remote control 1locks and

unlocks the doors.

It is supplied with power by a

battery which must be replaced

when the battery indicator light 2

no longer lights up. (Refer to the

information on the radio remote

control batteries, section 5).

Locking/unlocking the doors

Press the plip remote control for

approximately one second to lock or

unlock the doors. (Light 2will come

on.)

-Locking is indicated by two

flashes of the hazard warning

lights and the side repeaters.

Note: If a door or the tailgate is not

properly shut or is still open or if a

rear light is in “continuous

lighting” (refer to the relevant

information in section 3), the

hazard warning lights do not flash.

- The hazard warning lights flash

once to indicate that the doors

have been unlocked.

The range within which the

remote control will operate

This varies according to the

environment: therefore take care

when handling the remote control

that you do not inadvertently lock

or unlock the doors.

Note: On certain vehicles, if a door

is not opened within approximately

30 seconds of unlocking the door

using the remote control, the doors

will lock again automatically.

RADIO FREQUENCY REMOTE CONTROL DOOR LOCKS (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.
