opened within approximately
30 seconds of the doors being
unlocked 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 a plip remote control has been
lost or if you need another set of
keys or a plip remote control unit,
contact your Renault Dealer as only
he can help.

A delay of 1 second is required
between locking and unlocking
actions.

the cover.

electronic circuit in the key cover
when replacing the battery.
