Renault Clio: General information

The RENAULT card allows you to:

unlock or lock the door locks, the boot lock and the fuel filler flap lock (see the following pages);
remotely switch on the interior lighting (see the following pages);
start the engine - see the section "Starting the engine" in Chapter 2.

Card battery life

Make sure the battery is in good condition, matches the model and is correctly inserted. The battery life is approximately two years: replace the battery when the message "CARD BATTERY TO BE REPLACED" appears on the instrument panel (see Chapter 5 "RENAULT card: battery").

If the battery is discharged, you can still lock and unlock the doors and start the engine. See the section "Locking and unlocking the vehicle" in Chapter 1 and "Starting the engine" in Chapter 2.

RENAULT card operating range

The range varies depending on the surroundings: handle the RENAULT card with care so that the locks are not locked or unlocked by accidentally pressing a button.

Built-in key 5

The built-in key is used to lock or unlock the front left door when the RENAULT card does not work.

RENAULT card battery worn out, battery discharged, etc.;

Accessing key 5

Press button 6 and pull key 5, then release the button.

How to use the key

See the section "Locking and unlocking".

Once you are inside the vehicle using the built-in key, put the key back into the RENAULT card, then insert the RENAULT card into the card reader to start the vehicle.

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.

RISK OF DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.

Tip Do not expose the card to heat, cold or moisture.

Do not place the RENAULT card where it could be bent or even accidentally damaged: this can happen, for example, if you sit on a card kept in your back trouser pocket.

Replacing the RENAULT card or obtaining a spare card If you lose your RENAULT card, or if you want to have a spare card, please contact an Authorised Renault Dealer. If a RENAULT card is replaced, the vehicle must be taken to an Authorised Renault Dealer together with all RENAULT cards so that the initial parameters of the entire system can be reset.

Up to four RENAULT cards can be used with one vehicle.
