KEY / RADIO FREQUENCY REMOTE CONTROL: general information
Radio frequency remote control
unit
1- Locking all doors and the
tailgate.
2- Unlocking all doors and the
tailgate.
3- Driver's door and ignition key.
4- Locking / Unlocking the tailgate
only (for remote control units
with three buttons).
Radio frequency remote control
range
This varies according to the
environment. It is therefore
important when handling the
remote control to ensure that you do
not lock or unlock the vehicle by
inadvertently pressing the buttons.
Interference
The presence of certain objects
(metal objects, mobile telephones,
or an area with strong
electromagnetic radiation, etc.),
close to the key may create
interference and affect the operation
of the system.
Driver's responsibility
Never leave the vehicle
unattended with the key
in the ignition if there is a
child (or animal) in the vehicle.
They might start the engine or
operate electrical equipment
such as the electric windows,
and there is a risk that they may
trap part of their body (neck,
arms,hands,etc.).
Risk of serious injury.
If you lose your keys or need
another set of keys (or a remote
control unit), contact your
RENAULT Dealer.
•It will be necessary to take the
vehicle to your RENAULT Dealer
if you need to replace a key
because both the vehicle and all
the keys are needed to initialise
the system.
•No more than four remote
control units may be used for one
vehicle.
If the remote control unit will not
operate:
Make sure that the batteries are
always in good condition, they last
for approximately two years.
In this case, refer to the information
on the radio frequency remote
control batteries in Section 5
