KEYS / REMOTE CONTROL DOOR LOCKS
1Radio frequency remote control
locking unit, ignition key, key for
doors, luggage compartment and
fuel filler flap.
2Ignition key, key for doors,
luggage compartment and fuel
filler cap.
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.).

RADIO FREQUENCY REMOTE CONTROL DOOR LOCKING
Remote control unit 1locks and
unlocks the doors, the luggage
compartment and the fuel filler flap.
It is supplied by a battery which
must be replaced when battery
indicator light 2no longer lights up
(refer to the information below on
the radio frequency remote control:
batteries).
Locking/unlocking the doors
Press the remote control for
approximately one second to lock or
unlock the doors. (Light 2will come
on.)
-Locking is indicated by two
flashes of the hazard warning
lights and the side repeaters.
Note: If an opening element (door
or luggage compartment lid) is
open or not properly closed, the
hazard warning lights will not
flash.
- The hazard lights and side
repeaters flash once to indicate
unlocking.
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 no door
is opened within approximately
30 seconds of unlocking the door
using the remote control, the doors
will lock again automatically.

RADIO FREQUENCY REMOTE CONTROL DOOR LOCKS (continued)
Interference
Interference caused by factors in the
immediate vicinity (external
installations or the use of
equipment operating on the same
frequency as the remote control)
may affect the operation of the
remote control.
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 initialize
the system.
• No more than four keys
(including the remote controls)
can be used on 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.
• Check that the remote control is
correctly synchronized.
In both instances refer to the
information on the radio frequency
remote control: batteries, on the
following page.

RADIO FREQUENCY REMOTE CONTROL DOOR LOCKING: BATTERIES
Replacing batteries
Remove screw 1, open the unit
(using a coin, for example) and
replace battery 2according to the
direction marked on the cover.
Note: When replacing the battery, it
is advisable not to touch the
electronic circuit in the key cover.
Do not dump your used
batteries in the country-
side, give them to an
organisation responsible
for collecting and recycling
batteries.
The batteries can be obtained from
your RENAULT Dealer.
These batteries should last about
two years. There is a delay of
1 second between locking and
unlocking actions.
Synchronizing the remote
control
After changing the batteries, it may
be necessary to synchronize the
remote control.
From inside the vehicle:
• Press the plip remote control for
approximately 10 seconds until
battery indicator light 3goes out;
• Release and then press it twice in
succession.
If this procedure is not successful,
contact your RENAULT Dealer.
