take the vehicle to your
RENAULT Dealer because both
the vehicle and the remote
control are needed to initialise
the system.
- Depending on the vehicle, you
have the option of using up to
four remote control units.
Contact your RENAULT Dealer.
If the remote control unit will not
operate:
- Make sure that the batteries are
always in good condition; they

LOCKING THE DOORS (continued)
Second sliding side door (located on
the fuel filler cap side).
This door does not have a lock on
the outside. It is locked or unlocked
from outside the vehicle using the
remote control (at the same time as
the other doors) or from the inside
by moving the locking button (same
for the other side door).
Opening and closing operations are
the same as for the other sliding side
door.
Special information when filling
with fuel:
Depending on the vehicle, when the
fuel filler cap is removed during
refuelling:
- the doors lock then unlock
immediately, except for the side
door which remains locked,
- only the side door locks.
This is to prevent the door from
striking against the filler nozzle
during refuelling.
When the fuel tank has been filled,
refit the cap. The locking button is
operational again.
For vehicles without remote control
locking, the door is always locked
and it is therefore possible to unlock
it from the inside.
Note: if the door was open before the
fuel filler cap was removed, it will
not lock.
To ensure that it does not collide
with the fuel pump filler nozzle
while the fuel tank is being filled,
close the door, taking precautions to
ensure that no one is injured. It will
then lock automatically.

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.
Adjusting your driving position
- Sit with your back firmly against
the seatback. (after having
removed your coat or jacket).
This is essential to ensure that
your back is in the correct position.
- Adjust the distance between the
seat and the pedals.
Your seat should be as far back as
possible while still allowing you to
fully depress the clutch pedal. The
seatback should be adjusted so that
your arms are slightly bent when
you hold the steering wheel.
- Adjust the position of your
headrest.
For safety reasons, the top of the
headrest must be level with the top
of the head.

Adjusting the seat belts
Sit with your back firmly against the
seatback.
The shoulder strap 1 should be as
close to the base of your neck as
possible but not on it.
The lap strap 2 should be worn flat
over your thighs and against your
pelvis.
The belt should be worn so that it is
as close to your body as possible, i.e.
