RENAULT “HANDS-FREE” CARD: use (2/3)

Locking the vehicle

There are three ways to lock the vehi­cle: remotely, using button 4, or using
the RENAULT card.

Remote locking

With the RENAULT card on you, and
doors and tailgate closed, move away
from the vehicle: it will lock automati­cally once you have left zone

1.

Note: the distance at which the vehicle
locks depends on the surroundings.

The hazard warning lights flash twice
and a beep sounds to indicate that the
doors have locked.

The beep may be switched off. Consult
an approved Dealer.

If a door or the tailgate is open or not
properly closed, or a card is in the
passenger compartment (or the card
reader) the vehicle will not lock. In this
situation, no beep sounds and the

hazard warning lights do not flash.

Locking using button

4

If you want to lock your vehicle, the
card must be nearby (garage adjacent
etc.), with the door and tailgate closed,
press

button 4 on the handle of the driv­er’s door. The vehicle will lock. If a door
or the tailgate is open or not properly
closed, the vehicle will quickly lock/
unlock.

t

he vehicle's access zone (zone 1) to
be able to lock the vehicle using the
button.

S

1.7

With the engine running, if after having
opened and closed a door the card is no
longer in the passenger compartment,
the message Keycard not detected (ac­companied by a beep when the speed
exceeds a certain level) warns you that
the card is no longer in the vehicle. This
prevents you driving away after having
dropped off a passenger who has the
card, for example.

The warning disappears when the card
is detected again.

Locking using the RENAULT card

With the doors and luggage compart­m

ent closed, press button 5: the vehi-

cle will lock.

the opening elements and to prevent
the doors from being unlocked using
the interior handles (for example, by
breaking the window and then trying to
open the door from the inside).

Never use deadlocking if
someone is still inside the
vehicle.

If you decide to keep the
doors locked when you are
driving, remember that it

may be more difficult for the
emergency services to gain access
to the passenger compartment in
the event of an emergency.

Never leave your vehicle

with the RENAULT card

inside.

For safety reasons, make

these adjustments only

when the vehicle is station-

ary.
We would advise you not to recline

the seatbacks too far to ensure that
the effectiveness of the seat belts is
not reduced.

Nothing should be placed on the
floor (area in front of driver) as such
objects may slide under the pedal
during braking manoeuvres, thus
obstructing its use.

Heated seats

(depending on vehicle)
With the engine running, turn control 6

to either position 1, 2 or 3 (depending
on the temperature required). An indi­cator light on the instrument panel lights
up once the front seat heating system is
operating.
The system, which has a thermostat,
decides whether or not the heating is
needed, according to the position se­lected.

FRONT SEATS WITH MANUAL CONTROL (2/2)

Table function

Depending on the vehicle, the passen­ger seatback may be folded down onto
the seat base to create a table.

Lower the headrest if necessary, tilt
h

andle 5 and completely lower the

seatback.

When the front seat is in

table position, the front pas-

senger air bag must be dis-

abled (see information on
“Activating/deactivating the front
passenger air bag” in Section 1).

Risk of serious injury caused by
items resting on the seatback table
which may be dislodged when the
air bag is deployed.

The label (on the dashboard) and
the markings (on the windscreen)
remind you of these instructions.

For your safety, attach any
transported objects when
the seat is in the table po­sition.

Always wear your seat belt when trav­elling in your vehicle. You must also
comply with the legislation of the par­ticular country you are in.

SEAT BELTS (1/3)

Make sure that the rear seats are
locked in position properly so that
the rear seat belts will operate effi­ciently. Refer to information on “Rear
seats: functions” and “Adjusting the
rear seats” in section 3.

Seat belts which are incor­rectly adjusted or twisted
may cause injuries in the
event of an accident.

Use on e s ea t b el t p er
person, whether child or adult.

Even pregnant women should wear
a seat belt. In this case, ensure that
the lap belt is not exerting too much
pressure on the abdomen, but do
not allow any slack.

Before starting, first adjust your driv­ing position, then ask all occupants
to adjust their seat belt to ensure op­timum protection.

Adjusting your driving
position

– Sit well back in your seat (having

first removed your coat or jacket).
This is essential to ensure your back
is positioned correctly;

–

adjust the distance between the

seat and the pedals. Your seat

should be as far back as possible
while still allowing you to depress
the clutch pedal fully. The seatback
should be adjusted so that your arms
are slightly bent when you hold the
steering wheel;

– adjust the position of the steering

wheel;

–

adjust the position of your head-

rest. For the maximum safety, your

head must be as close as possible to
the headrest;

–

adjust the height of the seat. This

adjustment allows you to select the
seat position which offers you the
best possible view.

Adjusting the seat belts

Sit with your back firmly against the
seatback.

Shoulder

strap 1 should be as close as
possible to the base of the neck but not
on it.

Lap

belt 2 should be worn flat over the

thighs and against the pelvis.
The belt should be worn so that it is

as close as possible to your body, ie.:
avoid wearing heavy clothing or keep­ing bulky objects under the belts, etc.

Adjusting the height of the
front seat belts

Press button 3 to adjust the seat belt
height so that shoulder strap 1 is worn
a

s shown previously. Press button 3
and raise or lower the seat belt. Make
sure that the seat belt is locked in po­sition correctly after you have adjusted
it.

Unfastening

Press button 5 and the seat belt will be
rewound by the inertia reel. Guide the
belt.

Locking

Unwind the belt slowly and smoothly
and ensure that buckle 4 locks into
catch

6 (check that it is locked by pull-

ing on buckle

4).

If the belt jams, allow it to return slightly
before attempting to unwind it again.

If your seat belt is completely jammed,
pull slowly, but firmly, so that just over
3 cm unwinds. Allow it to return slightly
before attempting to unwind it again.

If there is still a problem, contact an ap­proved dealer.

Driver’s seat belt reminder

and, depending on the vehi­cle, front passenger seat belt re­minder

This lights up on the instrument panel
when the engine is started, then, if the
driver’s or front passenger’s seat belt
(if this seat is occupied) is not fastened
and the vehicle has reached approxi­mately 12 mph (20 km/h), it flashes and
a bleep sounds for around 120 sec­onds.
Note: an object placed on the passen­ger seat base may activate the warning
light in some cases.

Rear seat belt reminder (depending
on vehicle)

Warning light

ç lights up and, de-

pending on the vehicle, it is accompa­nied by a message on the instrument
p

anel for approximately 30 seconds
each time the vehicle is started, a door
is opened or a rear seat belt is fastened
or unfastened. Check that the rear pas­sengers are wearing seat belts and that
the number of seat belts shown as fas­tened corresponds to the number of
rear seat places occupied.

SEAT BELTS (3/3)

The following information applies to the vehicle’s front and rear seat belts.

– No modification may be made to the component parts of the restraint system (belts and seats and their mountings)

fitted originally.

–

For special operations (e.g.: fitting child seats) contact an approved Dealer.

– Do not use devices which allow any slack in the belts (e.g. clothes pegs, clips, etc.): a seat belt which is worn too loosely

may cause injury in the event of an accident.

–

Never wear the shoulder strap under your arm or behind your back.

– Never use the same belt for more than one person and never hold a baby or child on your lap with your seat belt around

them.

–

The belt should never be twisted.

– Following an accident, have the seat belts checked and replaced if necessary. Always replace your seat belts as soon as

they show any signs of wear.

–

When putting back the rear bench seat, take care that the seat belts are correctly positioned so that they can be used

properly.

–

Make sure that the buckle is inserted into the appropriate catch.

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (1/4)

1

2

Depending on the vehicle, they are
composed of:

–

seat belt inertia reel pretension-

ers;

–

lap belt pretensioners;

– chest-level load limiter;

– air bags for driver and front pas

-

senger.

These systems are designed to act
independently or together when the
vehicle is subjected to a frontal impact.

Depending on the severity of the impact,
the system can trigger:

–

seat belt locking;

– the seat belt inertia reel pretensioner

(which engages to correct seat belt
slack);

–

the low volume front air bag;

– the lap belt pretensioners to hold the

occupant in his seat;

–

the large volume front air bag.

Pretensioners

The pretensioners hold the seat belt
against the body, holding the occupant
more securely against the seat, thus in­creasing the seat belt’s efficiency.

In the event of a severe frontal impact
and if the ignition is switched on, the
system may engage the following de­pending on the force of the impact:

–

the seat belt inertia reel preten-

s

ioner 1 which instantly retracts the

seat belt;

–

the lap pretensioner 2 on the front

seats.

– Have the entire restraint

system checked following
an accident.

–

No operation whatso­ever is permitted on any part of
the system (pretensioners, air
bags, computers, wiring) and the
system components must not
be reused on any other vehicle,
even if identical.

–

To avoid incorrect triggering of

the system which may cause
injury, only qualified personnel
from an approved Dealer may
work on the pretensioner and air
bag system.

–

The electric trigger system may

only be tested by a specially
trained technician using special
equipment.

–

When the vehicle is scrapped,

contact an approved Dealer for
disposal of the pretensioner and
air bag gas generators.
