RADIO FREQUENCY REMOTE CONTROL UNIT: general information (continued)
Remote control unit operating range
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 a door is not opened within approximately 30 seconds of the door being unlocked by remote control, the doors will lock again automatically.
Interference
Interference may be caused to the operation of the remote control by factors in the immediate vicinity (external installations or the use of equipment operating on the same frequency as the remote control).
If you lose your keys or remote control unit, or need another set, contact your RENAULT Dealer.
-If a remote control unit is replaced, it will be necessary to 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 have a service life of approximately two years.
See Radio frequency remote control: batteries in Section 5 for the battery replacement procedure.
