1.6
RENAULT “HANDS-FREE” CARD: use (2/3)
Locking the vehicle
There are three ways to lock the ve-
hicle: remotely, using the button 3, or
using the RENAULT card.
Remote locking
With the RENAULT card on you, and
doors and tailgate closed, move away
from the vehicle: it will lock automati-
cally once you have left zone 1.
Note: the distance at which the vehicle
locks depends on the surroundings.
The hazard warning lights flash twice
and a beep sounds to indicate that the
doors have locked.
The beep may be switched off. Consult
an approved dealer
If a door or the tailgate is open or not
properly closed, or a card is in the
passenger compartment (or the card
reader) the vehicle will not lock. In this
situation, no beep sounds and the
hazard warning lights do not flash.
Locking using the button 3
If you want to lock your vehicle, the card
must be nearby (adjacent garage etc.),
with the door and boot closed. Press
button 3on the handle of the driver’s
door. The vehicle will lock. If a door or
the boot is open or not closed properly,
the vehicle will quickly lock/unlock.
Note: a RENAULT card must be within
the vehicle's access zone (zone 1) to
be able to lock the vehicle using the
button.
Special note
If you wish to check that the doors are
locked after locking using the button 3,
you have approximately three seconds
to try the door handles without unlock-
ing them.
After this delay, the hands-free mode
is activated once again and any move-
ment of a handle will unlock the vehicle.

If the vehicle is fitted with remote window closing, two quick presses on the button 3automatically causes all the windows to
close and the doors to lock (please see the information on “Electric windows, Electric sunroof” in Section 3).

1.7
With the engine running, if having
once opened and closed a door, the
card is no longer in the passenger com-
partment, the message “Keycard not
detected” (accompanied by a warning
beep once the speed passes a thres-
hold value) will tell you that the card is
no longer in the vehicle. This avoids
you driving away after having dropped
off a passenger who has the card, for
example.
The warning disappears when the card
is detected again.
RENAULT “HANDS-FREE” CARD: use (3/3)
Locking using the RENAULT card
With the doors and luggage compart-
ment closed, press button 5: the vehi-
cle will lock.
The hazard warning lights flash twice
to indicate that the doors have locked.

the vehicle locks depends on the sur-
roundings.

– a door or the tailgate is open or not
properly closed;
– a card is still in zone 6(or in the card
reader) and no other card is in the
external detection zone.
After locking/unlocking the vehicle
or the tailgate only using the but-
tons on the RENAULT card, remote
locking and unlocking in hands-free
mode are deactivated.

locking function, this allows you to lock
the opening elements and to prevent
the doors from being unlocked using
the interior handles (for example, by
breaking the window and then trying to
open the door from the inside).
Never use deadlocking if
someone is still inside the
vehicle.
To activate deadlocking
You can choose between two deadlock-
ing activation modes:
– press button 2twice in quick succes-
sion;
– or, press the button on the driver’s
door handle 3twice in quick succes-
sion.
The hazard warning lights flash five
times to indicate locking.

motely closes the windows and/or
the electric sunroof, on equipped
vehicles.

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

1.13

tionary).
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 activate: with the vehicle stopped
and the engine running, press switch 1
until a beep sounds.
To deactivate: with the vehicle at a
standstill and with the engine running,
press switch 1until two beeps sound.
You can also activate/deactivate this
function, refer to the information on the

Operating faults
If you experience an operating fault (no
automatic locking, the indicator light in-
corporated in button 1does not light up
when trying to lock the doors and tail-
gate, etc.), first check that the doors
and tailgate are properly closed. If they
are properly closed and the fault is still
present, contact an approved Dealer.
Also make sure that locking has not
been inadvertently deactivated.
If it has, switch the ignition off and on
again and reactivate it.
