Blokowanie pojazdu

There are three ways to lock the vehicle: remote locking, locking with button 3, and locking with the RENAULT card.

Remote locking

With the RENAULT card on you and the doors and tailgate closed, walk away from the vehicle: the locks lock automatically as soon as you leave zone 1.

Note: the distance at which the vehicle's doors can be locked depends on external conditions.

Zdalne blokowanie

Locking is confirmed by one short flash, then one long flash of the hazard warning lights and an audible signal.

This audible signal can be switched off.

If any of the body's opening elements (doors or tailgate) is open or not fully closed, or if the card is inside the cabin (or in the card reader), locking is not possible. In this case, no audible signal sounds and the hazard warning lights do not flash.

Driver responsibility when parked or after stopping the vehicle Never leave the vehicle with a child, a dependent adult or an animal inside, even for a very short time. They could endanger themselves or others by starting the engine, operating equipment such as the window lifts, or locking the door locks... In addition, note that on hot and/or very sunny days, the temperature inside the cabin rises very quickly.
