CHILD SAFETY REAR DOOR LOCK

SPA2037

The child safety rear door locks help prevent rear doors
from being opened accidentally, especially when small
children are in the vehicle.

When the levers are in the lock position

*

1

, the child

safety rear door locks engage and the rear doors can
only be opened by the outside door handles.

To disengage, move the levers to the unlock position

*

2

.

The remote keyless entry system can operate all door
locks (including the back door) using the remote
controller. The remote controller can operate at a
distance of approximately 1 m (3.3 ft) away from the
vehicle. The operating distance depends upon the
conditions around the vehicle.

As many as 5 remote controllers can be used with one
vehicle. For information about the purchase and use of
additional remote controllers, contact a RENAULT
dealer.

The remote controller will not function under the
following conditions:
.

When the distance between the remote controller
and vehicle is more than approximately 1 m (3.3
ft).

.

When the remote controller battery is discharged.

.

When the key is in the ignition switch.

CAUTION:

.

When locking the doors using the remote
controller, be sure not to leave the key in the
vehicle.

.

Do not allow the remote controller, which
contains electrical components, to come
into contact with water or salt water. This
could affect the system function.

.

Do not drop the remote controller.

.

Do not strike the remote controller sharply
against another object.

.

Do not place the remote controller for an
extended period in an area where tempera-
tures exceed 60

8C (1408F).

.

When the outside temperature is extremely
low, the remote keyless entry system may

not function properly.

If a remote controller is lost or stolen, RENAULT
recommends erasing the ID code of that remote
controller from the vehicle. This may prevent the
unauthorized use of the remote controller to unlock
the vehicle. For information regarding the erasing
procedure, contact a RENAULT dealer.

For information regarding the replacement of a battery,
see “Remote controller battery” (P.8-24).

WARNING:

.

Radio waves could adversely affect electric
medical equipment. Those who use a pace-
maker should contact the electric medical
equipment manufacturer for the possible
influences before use.

.

The Intelligent Key transmits radio waves
when the buttons are pushed. The radio

waves may affect aircraft navigation and
communication systems. Do not operate the
Intelligent Key while on an airplane. Make
sure the buttons are not operated uninten-
tionally when the unit is stored during a
flight.

The Intelligent Key system can operate all the door
(including the back door) locks using the remote
controller function or pushing the request switch on
the vehicle without taking the key out from a pocket or
purse. The operating environment and/or conditions
may affect the Intelligent Key system operation.

Be sure to read the following before using the
Intelligent Key system.

CAUTION:

.

Be sure to carry the Intelligent Key with you
when operating the vehicle.

.

Never leave the Intelligent Key in the vehicle
when you leave the vehicle.

.

When the outside temperature is extremely
low, the Intelligent Key system may not
function properly.

The Intelligent Key is always communicating with the
vehicle as it receives radio waves. The Intelligent Key
system transmits weak radio waves. Environmental
conditions may interfere with the operation of the
Intelligent Key system under the following operating
conditions.
.

When operating near a location where strong
radio waves are transmitted, such as a TV tower,
power station and broadcasting station.

.

When in possession of wireless equipment, such
as a cellular telephone, transceiver, and CB radio.

.

When the Intelligent Key is in contact with or
covered by metallic materials.

.

When any type of radio wave remote control is
used nearby.

.

When the Intelligent Key is placed near an electric
appliance such as a personal computer.

.

When the vehicle is parked near a parking meter.

In such cases, correct the operating conditions before
using the Intelligent Key function or use the mechanical
key.

Although the life of the battery varies depending on the
operating conditions, the battery’s life is approximately
2 years. If the battery is discharged, replace it with a
new one.

For information regarding replacement of a battery, see
“Intelligent key battery” (P.8-25).

Since the Intelligent Key is continuously receiving radio
waves, if the key is left near equipment which transmits
strong radio waves, such as signals from a TV and
personal computer, the battery life may become
shorter.

To start the engine when the Intelligent Key battery is
discharged, see “Push-button ignition switch (model
with Intelligent Key system)” (P.5-6). Replace the
discharged battery with a new one as soon as
possible.

Because the steering wheel is locked electrically,
unlocking the steering wheel with the ignition switch in
the “LOCK” position is impossible when the vehicle
battery is completely discharged. In this case, unlock-
ing the steering wheel would be also impossible. Pay
special attention that the vehicle battery is not
completely discharged.

As many as 4 Intelligent Keys can be used with one
vehicle. For information about the purchase and use of
additional Intelligent Keys, contact a RENAULT dealer.

into contact with water or salt water. This
could affect the system function.

.

Do not drop the Intelligent Key.

.

Do not strike the Intelligent Key sharply
against another object.

.

Do not change or modify the Intelligent Key.

.

Wetting may damage the Intelligent Key. If
the Intelligent Key gets wet, immediately
wipe until it is completely dry.

.

If the outside temperature is below

í108C

(14

8F), the battery of the Intelligent Key may

not function properly.

.

Do not place the Intelligent Key for an
extended period in an area where tempera-
tures exceed 60

8C (1408F).

.

Do not attach the Intelligent Key with a key
holder that contains a magnet.

.

Do not place the Intelligent Key near equip-
ment that produces a magnetic field, such as
a TV, audio equipment and personal compu-
ters or cellular phones.

If an Intelligent Key is lost or stolen, RENAULT
recommends erasing the ID code of that Intelligent
Key from the vehicle. This may prevent the unauthor-
ized use of the Intelligent Key to operate the vehicle.
For information regarding the erasing procedure,
contact a RENAULT dealer.

The Intelligent Key function can be disabled. For
information about disabling the Intelligent Key function,
contact a RENAULT dealer.

OPERATING RANGE

SPA2038

The Intelligent Key functions can only be used when
the Intelligent Key is within the specified operating
range from the request switch

location, the Intelligent Key system’s operating range
becomes narrower, and the Intelligent Key may not
function properly.

The operating range is within 80 cm (31.50 in) from
each request switch

*

not start, contact a RENAULT dealer for Anti-
Theft System service as soon as possible. Be

indicator light will illuminate when the ignition switch is
in the “ON” position. However, if the security indicator
light turns off after 15 minutes, you can start the engine
once. See a RENAULT dealer for Anti-Theft System
service as soon as possible.
