Welcome to your new vehicle
The descriptions of the models given in this handbook are based on the technical specifications at the time of writing. This hand-
book covers all items of equipment (both standard and optional) available for these models but whether or not these are
fitted to the vehicle depends on the version, options selected and the country where the vehicle is sold.
This handbook may also contain information about items of equipment to be introduced later in the model year.
Throughout the manual, the “approved Dealer” is your RENAULT Dealer.

child (or a pet) unsupervised. With
the card in the reader, it would be
possible to start the engine or oper-
ate electrical equipment such as the
electric windows and there is a risk
that part of their body may become
trapped (neck, arm, hand, etc.).
Risk of serious injury.

KEY/RADIO FREQUENCY REMOTE CONTROL: general information (continued)
Radio frequency remote
control operating range
This varies according to the environ-
ment. It is therefore important when
handling the remote control to ensure
that you do not lock or unlock the ve-
hicle by inadvertently pressing the but-
tons.
Note: on certain vehicles, if a door is
not opened within approximately 2 min-
utes of the door being unlocked by
remote control, the doors will lock again
automatically.
Interference
The presence of certain objects (metal
objects, mobile telephones, or an area
with strong electromagnetic radiation,
etc.) close to the key may create inter-
ference and affect the operation of the
system.
Replacement and additional keys
or remote controls.
You must only contact an approved
Dealer:
– If you need to replace a key it will
be necessary to take the vehicle
and all of its keys to an approved
Dealer in order to initialise the
system.
– depending on the vehicle, you
have the option of using up to
four remote controls.
Remote control unit failure
Make sure that the correct battery
type is being used, and that the
battery is in good condition and in-
serted correctly. These batteries
should have a service life of approx-
imately two years.
Refer to Section 5: “Radio frequency
remote control: batteries” for the
battery changing procedure.
