RADIO FREQUENCY REMOTE CONTROL UNIT (continued)
Remote control unit operating
range
This varies according to the
surroundings: therefore when
handling the remote control, be
careful 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 door being
unlocked by remote control, the
doors will lock again automatically.
Interference
Operation of the remote control may
be disrupted by equipment being
used close to the vehicle (e.g.
external equipment or the use of
devices which operate on the same
frequency as the remote control).
If you lose your keys or need
another set of keys (or a remote
control), contact your RENAULT
Dealer.
•If a remote control is replaced, it
will be necessary to take the
vehicle and all sets of keys to
your RENAULT Dealer to
initialise the system.
•It is not possible to use more than
four remote control units for one
vehicle.
Make sure that the batteries are
always in good condition - they last
for approximately two years.
Refer to the section entitled
“Remote control unit: batteries”in
Section 5 for information on how to
change the batteries.

the following functions:
- volumetric protection of the front
passenger compartment using an
ultrasound field;
- protection of the passenger
compartment perimeter;
- protection of the rear load area

- surveillance in the event of an
attempt to start the engine with an
incorrect ignition key;
- surveillance in the event of horn
power supply cut-off.
Before activating the alarm
function

- the windows and doors are
properly closed;
- there are no passengers, animals or
objects inside the vehicle which
could move and set off the alarm.
Otherwise it will be necessary to

ANTI-INTRUSION ALARM (continued)
Activating the alarm function
The alarm is set when the doors are
locked with the remote control unit.
This is signalled by the hazard
warning lights flashing twice
When the alarm function is
activated, any detection leads to the
alarm being triggered and the
hazard warning lights flashing for
around 25 seconds.
After approximately 5 seconds, if
the detection persists, the system
will start once more for
approximately 25 seconds and then
again for approximately 13 minutes.
Beyond that, there is no more
surveillance until the doors are next
unlocked/locked.
If the hazard warning
lights do not flash when
the alarm is set this
indicates that a door or
the bonnet is open or not
properly closed: check. If this is
not the case, contact your
RENAULT Dealer.
Deactivating the alarm function
The alarm, even when triggered,
stops:
- when the doors are unlocked with
the remote control unit;
- when the vehicle ignition is
switched on.
Deactivation is indicated by the
hazard warning lights flashing
once.
If the hazard warning
lights do not flash when
the alarm is deactivated
this indicates that the
alarm was triggered during your
absence.
Opening the doors with the
key does not stop the alarm;
it must be stopped using
the remote control unit or
by switching on the ignition.
