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.
Note: a RENAULT card must be within
the vehicle's access zone (zone 1) to
1
be able to lock the vehicle using the
button.
Special note
If you wish to check that the doors are
locked after locking using button 4, you
have approximately three seconds to
try the door handles without unlocking
them.
After this delay, the hands-free mode
is activated once again and any movement of a handle will unlock the vehicle.

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 pas-
6
senger 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 compartment closed, press button 5: the vehicle will lock.
The hazard warning lights flash twice
to indicate that the doors have locked.
Note: the maximum distance at which
the vehicle locks depends on the surroundings.

The hazard warning lights flash once to
indicate that the doors have been unlocked.
If the vehicle is equipped with a deadlocking function, this allows you to 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.

– press button 2 twice in quick succes-
sion;
– or, press the button on the driver’s
door handle 3 twice in quick succession.
The hazard warning lights flash five
times to indicate locking.
Activating deadlocking also remotely closes the windows and/or
the electric sunroof, on equipped
vehicles.

light integrated in switch 3 informs you
of the status of the doors and tailgate:
– indicator light on, the doors and tail-
gate are locked;
– indicator light off, the doors and tail-
gate 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 assisting you to gain access to the
passenger compartment in the
event of an emergency.
1.13
AUTOMATIC LOCKING WHEN DRIVING

automatically locks the doors when you
are driving at approximately 6 mph (10
km/h) and over.
The door can be unlocked:
– by pressing door unlocking button 1.
– by opening a front door (vehicle sta-
tionary).
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).
Activating/deactivating the
function
To activate: with the vehicle stopped
and the engine running, press switch 1
until a beep sounds.
To deactivate: with the vehicle stopped
and the engine running, press switch 1
until two beeps sound.
For vehicles equipped with a “TFT
Display” instrument panel, you can
also deactivate/activate this function.
Refer to the information on the “Vehicle
settings customisation menu” in
Section 1, regarding the “Auto door
locking while driving” function:
= function activated
< function deactivated.
Driver’s responsibility
If you decide to keep the
doors locked when you are
driving, remember that it
may be more difficult for those assisting you to gain access to the
passenger compartment in the
event of an emergency.
Operating faults
If you experience an operating fault (no
automatic locking, the indicator light incorporated in button 1 does not light up
when trying to lock the doors and tailgate, etc.), first check that the doors
and tailgate are properly closed. If they
are properly closed and the fault is still
present, contact an approved Dealer.
Also make sure that locking has not
been inadvertently deactivated.
If it has, switch the ignition off and on
again and reactivate it.

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
handle 5 and completely lower the
seatback.
For your safety, attach any
transported objects when
the seat is in the table position.

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.
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.

1.19
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 seats are
locked in position properly so that
the rear seat belts will operate efficiently. Refer to the information on
“rear seat 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 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 head-
rest. 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, ie.:
avoid wearing heavy clothing or keeping bulky objects under the belts, etc.

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.

1.21
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 originally fitted restraint system: belts, seats and their
mountings. For special operations (e.g. fitting child seats) contact an authorised 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 se-
cured.
– When refitting the rear seats, make sure the seat belts are correctly positioned so that they can be used correctly.

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (1/4)
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.
1
2
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-
sioner 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.
