RENAULT "HANDS-FREE" CARD: use
There are two ways to unlock/lock the vehicle:
- the RENAULT card in “Hands-free” mode;
- the RENAULT card in remote control mode.
Do not store the RENAULT card anywhere it may come into contact with other electronic equipment (computer, phone, etc.) as this could hinder its operation.
Driver’s responsibility when parking or stopping the vehicle
Never leave an animal, child or adult who is not self-sufficient alone on your vehicle, even for a short time.
They may pose a risk to themselves or to others by starting the engine, activating equipment such as the electric windows or locking the doors.
Also, in hot and/or sunny weather, please remember that the temperature inside the passenger compartment increases very quickly.
RISK OF DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.
Using the card in hands-free mode
In “hands-free” mode, it is possible to lock/unlock the vehicle without using any of the RENAULT card’s buttons, as long as the card is within the access zone 1.
Note: It is possible to deactivate the hands-free system - please refer to the information on the “Vehicle settings customisation menu” in Section 1.
“Hands-free” unlocking
With the RENAULT card in zone 1, press button 2 on the handle of one of the front doors: the vehicle unlocks.
Unlocking is indicated by one flash of the hazard warning lights and the indi- cator lights.
Pressing the button 3 unlocks the entire vehicle and releases the boot.
The “hands-free” system may experience temporary difficulties if one of the sensors built into the inside of the door handle is obscured (by dirt, mud, snow, gritting salt etc.).
Clean the sensors. If there is still a problem, contact an approved dealer.
Remote “Hands-free” locking
(depending on vehicle)
With the RENAULT card on you, and doors and boot closed, move away from the vehicle: it will lock automatically as soon as you leave the access zone.
Note: The distance at which the vehicle locks depends on the surroundings.
To indicate that the vehicle has been locked, the hazard warning lights and indicator lights flash once and then light up for approximately four seconds, and a beep sounds in confirmation.
Locking using button 2
With the doors and boot closed, press button 2 on one of the front door handles. The vehicle will lock. The indicator lights and hazard warning lights flash twice to indicate that the doors have locked.
Special features of the locking system
After locking by pressing button 2, you have to wait approximately 3 seconds to be able to unlock the vehicle again. During these three seconds, the door handles can be tried to make sure that the vehicle is locked properly. If a door is open or not properly closed:
- when locking by pressing the 2 button, the vehicle is locked then quickly unlocked without the hazard warning lights and side indicator lights flashing;
- the vehicle will not lock as you move away.
Particular features of the locking system (continued)
If provided with the vehicle, if the RENAULT card has been in the detection zone for about 15 minutes, remote locking is disabled.
The vehicle cannot be locked if the card is within the zone 4.
If the vehicle is unlocked by pressing the button on the RENAULT card, but the doors or boot are not then opened; remote “hands-free” locking is disabled.
Using the card as a remote control
Unlocking with the card RENAULT
Press button 5.
Unlocking is indicated by one flash of the hazard warning lights and the indi- cator lights.
Locking using the RENAULT card
With the doors and boot closed, press button 6: the vehicle locks.
The indicator lights and hazard warning lights flash twice to indicate that the doors have locked.
NB: The maximum distance at which the vehicle locks depends on the surroundings.
Special features
If an opening element (a door or the luggage compartment) is open or not properly closed, the vehicle cannot be locked. The vehicle will lock/unlock in quick succession, but the hazard warning lights and the side indicator lights will not flash.
The card buttons are deactivated when the engine is running.
If, while the engine is running, a door is opened and closed, and the card is no longer in the zone 4, the message “Keycard not detected” indicates that the card is not inside the vehicle. This will, for example, prevent you from driving away after dropping off a passenger who has kept the card on them.
The warning disappears when the card is detected again.
Locking/unlocking only the boot
Press the button 7 to lock/unlock the boot only.
