KEYS / RADIO FREQUENCY REMOTE CONTROL
1Remote control coded ignition
key, key for doors and fuel filler
cap.
The plip remote control 1locks and
unlocks the doors.
It is supplied with power by a
battery which has to be replaced
when the battery tell-tale light 2no
longer comes on. (Refer to the
information on the radio frequency
remote control batteries.)
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.).
Locking/unlocking the doors
Press the remote control for
approximately one second to lock or
unlock the doors. (Tell-tale light 2
will switch on.)
- The hazard warning lights flash
twice to indicate that the doors
have been locked.
Note: Depending on the vehicle, if
eitheradoorortailgateisopenor
not properly closed or if a rear
interior light remains in the
“continuous lighting” position
(see information on interior lights
in section 3), the hazard warning
lights will not flash.
- The hazard warning lights flash
once to indicate that the doors
have been unlocked.

RADIO FREQUENCY REMOTE CONTROL (continued)
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.
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 remote control unit is
replaced, it will be necessary to
take the vehicle to your
RENAULT Dealer because both
the vehicle and all the remote
control units are needed to
initialise the system.
• No more than two remote controls
can be used on one vehicle.
• Make sure that the batteries are
always in good condition - they
last for approximately two years.

are locked;
- when a door is opened (or
incorrectly closed) the indicator
light goes out.
When you lock the doors using the
plip remote control, the indicator
light remains lit for approximately
one minute then goes out.
If you decide to keep the
doors locked when you
are driving, remember
that it may be more
difficult for those assisting you
to gain access to your vehicle in
the event of an emergency.

Warning light to indicate that the
system is not operating correctly
When the ignition has been
switched on, if warning light 1
continues to flash or remains on, it
indicates that the system is not
operating correctly.
In all instances, you must contact a
RENAULT Dealer, who are the only
people authorised to repair the
engine immobiliser system.
If the coded ignition key is faulty,
use the second key (supplied with
the vehicle).

HEAD RESTRAINTS
To raise or lower the headrest
Pull the headrest towards you (i.e.
towards the front of the vehicle) and
slide it up or down at the same time.
To adjust the angle of the headrest
On certain vehicles the angle of the
headrest can be adjusted. To do this,
move the front section Aof the
headrest forwards or backwards
until it feels comfortable.
To remove the headrest
First incline the seatback towards
the rear.
Raise the headrest until it is at the
highest possible setting. Lift up
tab 1and then pull the headrest
upwards until it is released.
To refit the headrest
Insert the rods into the sleeves, with
the notches facing the front.
Lower the headrest until it locks in
position.
The head restraint is
important for safety: ensure
that it is positioned
correctly. The distance
between your head and the head
restraint should be as small as
possible, and the top of the head
restraint should be as close as
possible to the top of your head.

Press tab 1.
To refit the headrest
Insert the rods into the sleeves, with
the notches to the front, and lower
the headrest to the desired height.

it is in the storage position; do not
use this position when someone is
sitting in the rear seats.
The head restraint is
important for safety: ensure
that it is positioned
correctly. The distance
between your head and the head

FRONT SEATS
To move forwards or backwards:
Lift lever 2to unlock the seat.
Release the lever when the seat is in
the required position and ensure it
is locked in place.
To raise or lower the driver’s seat:
Lift lever 1.
To tilt the seatback:
Move handle 4and tilt the seat to
the required position.
To adjust the lumbar support on the
driver’s seat:
Turn wheel 3.
So that the effectiveness of
the seat belts is not
reduced, we would advise
you not to recline the
seatbacks excessively.
Make sure the seatback is locked in
place correctly.
No objects should be placed on the
floor (area in front of driver) as
such objects may slide under the
pedal during braking manoeuvres,
thus obstructing its use.
For safety reasons, adjust
the seats only when the
vehicle is stationary.

Heated seats
With the ignition switched
on, press the switch located on the
rail cover 6. An indicator light will
light up on the instrument panel.
The system is not necessarily
activated if the indicator light is lit

only operates when the passenger
compartment temperature is less
than 12°C (with a tolerance of plus
or minus 4°C).
