Locking is indicated by the hazard warning lights flashing twice.

If an opening (door or boot) is open or not properly closed, or if a RENAULT card has been left in the card reader, the vehicle locks and then immediately unlocks again, with no hazard warning light flashing.

If the vehicle has been unlocked but no opening has been opened, it locks again automatically after two minutes.

With the engine running, the card buttons are disabled.

  • one flash indicates that the vehicle is fully unlocked;
  • two flashes indicate that the vehicle is fully locked.

Locking is confirmed by two flashes of the hazard warning lights and an audible signal.

This audible signal can be switched off.

In this case, there is no audible signal and no hazard warning light flashes.
