Special note
The RENAULT “SERVICE” card, on equipped vehicles, can be identified by the word “SERVICE” engraved on the card. Refer to the information on the RENAULT “SERVICE” card in section 1.
The RENAULT card is used for:
–locking/unlocking the doors and tailgate (doors, tailgate) and the fuel filler flap (see the following pages);
–switching on the vehicle lighting remotely (refer to the following pages);
–depending on the vehicle, automatically closing the electric windows and sunroof remotely (see the information on “Electric windows/Electric sunroof” in Section 3);
–starting the engine; refer to the information on “Starting the engine” in Section 2.
Battery life
Make sure that the correct battery type is being used, and that the battery is in good condition and inserted correctly. Its service life is approximately two years: replace it when the message “Keycard battery low” appears on the instrument panel (refer to the information on the “RENAULT card: battery" in section 5).
Range of the RENAULT card
This varies according to the surroundings. It is important to make sure when handling the RENAULT card that you do not lock or unlock the doors by inadvertently pressing the buttons.
When the battery is flat, you can still lock/unlock and start your vehicle. Refer to the information on “Locking/unlocking the doors” in Section 1 and “Starting the engine” in Section 2.
Driver’s responsibility

For example, in the event of a discharged battery or the RENAULT card temporarily not working, etc.
With the engine switched off and a door or tailgate open, press and hold switch 4 for more than five seconds.
When the door is closed, all the doors and the tailgate will be locked.
Unlocking the vehicle from the outside is only possible with the RENAULT card in the vehicle's access zone or using the key integrated in the RENAULT card.
After locking/unlocking the vehicle or the tailgate only using the buttons on the RENAULT card, remote locking and unlocking in hands-free mode are deactivated.
To reactivate the “hands-free” mode: restart the vehicle.
Door and tailgate status indicator
When the ignition is on, the indicator light integrated in switch 4 informs you of the status of the doors and tailgate:
–indicator light on, the doors and tailgate are locked,
–indicator light off, the doors and tailgate are unlocked.
When you lock the doors, the indicator light remains lit and then goes out.
Never leave your vehicle with the RENAULT card inside.
Driver’s responsibility
If you decide to keep the doors locked when you are driving, remember that it may be more difficult for those as-
sisting you to gain access to the passenger compartment in the event of an emergency.
1.13
Automatic locking when driving

The door can be unlocked:
–by pressing the door unlocking button 1.
–by opening a front door (vehicle stationary).
Note: if a door is opened or closed, it will automatically lock again when the vehicle reaches a speed of 6 mph (10 km/h).
Driver’s responsibility
If you decide to keep the doors locked when you are driving, remember that it may be more difficult for those as-
sisting you to gain access to the passenger compartment in the event of an emergency.

For safety reasons, carry out any adjustments when the vehicle is not being
driven.
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.

Locking the seats
When a person, an object or a child seat prevents the front seats from locking, perform the following operations:
–ask all of the passengers to leave the vehicle and remove any bulky objects from the rear seats;
–lock the seat(s) in the initial position again;
–move the seat(s) forwards in order to create sufficient space;
–ask the passengers to get back into the vehicle, and refit the child seat or objects on the rear seats.
Check that no object or person prevents the front seat from locking. If so, remove any obstacles
behind the front seats. Adjust the seat to allow sufficient room in the rear. The rear occupants/objects should then return to the vehicle.
Repeat the above until the seat is locked correctly.
Risk of seat moving on its runners during vehicle acceleration or braking.

Seat belts (1/3)
Always wear your seat belt when travelling in your vehicle. You must also comply with the legislation of the particular country you are in.
Make sure that the rear bench seat is locked in position correctly so that the rear seat belts will operate efficiently. Refer to the information on the “Rear bench seat” in Section 3.
Incorrectly adjusted or twisted seat belts may cause injuries in the event
of an accident.
Use one seat belt per 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 belts 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 your headrest. For 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;
–adjust the position of the steering wheel.

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, i.e.: avoid wearing heavy clothing or keeping bulky objects under the belts, etc.

– 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.
–Make sure that the buckle is inserted into the appropriate catch.
–Ensure that no objects are placed in the area around the seat belt catch as they could prevent it from being properly secured.
–When putting back the rear bench seat, take care that the seat belts are correctly positioned so that they can be used properly.
