operating range
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 the doors being
unlocked with the remote control,
the doors will lock again

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 remote
control unit, or need another set,
contact your RENAULT Dealer.
•Ifaremotecontrolunitis

•Depending on the vehicle, you
have the option of using up to
four remote control units.
Contact your RENAULT Dealer.
•Make sure the batteries are always
in good condition; they have a
service life of approximately two
years.

LOCKING THE DOORS (continued)
Second sliding side door (located
on the fuel filler cap side).
This door does not have a lock on
the outside. It is locked or unlocked
from outside the vehicle using the
remote control (at the same time as
the other doors) or from the inside
by moving the locking button (same
for the other side door).
Opening and closing operations are
the same as for the other sliding side
door.
Special information when filling
with fuel:
When the fuel filler cap is removed
for refuelling, the doors are locked
immediately, except for the side
door on the fuel filler cap side: it
remains locked from both the
inside and the outside in order to
ensure that it does not collide with
the fuel pump nozzle while the fuel
tank is being filled.
When the fuel tank has been filled,
refit the cap. The locking button is
operational again.
For vehicles without remote control
door locking, the door is always
locked and it is therefore possible to
unlock it from the inside.
Note: if the door was open before
removing the fuel filler cap, it will
not lock.
To ensure that it does not collide
with the fuel pump filler nozzle
while the fuel tank is being filled,
close the door, taking precautions to
ensure that no one is injured.It will
then lock automatically.
