Malfunctions

In some cases the RENAULT "hands-free" card may stop working:

• RENAULT card battery worn out, battery discharged, etc.;
• when devices operating on the same frequency are nearby (screen, mobile phone, video games...);
• the vehicle is in an area with strong electromagnetic radiation.

The message "INSERT CARD" appears on the instrument panel.

Insert the RENAULT card by sliding it fully into card reader 2.

Conditions required to switch off the engine

The vehicle must be stationary and the selector lever must be in position N or P for vehicles with automatic transmission.

Special feature

Depending on vehicle version, accessories (radio, etc.) stop working either when the engine is switched off, when the driver's door is opened, or after the door locks are locked.

Never switch off the engine before the vehicle has come to a complete stop. Stopping the engine cuts off the assistance systems: switching off the engine disables the brake servo, power steering, etc., as well as the passive safety devices such as airbags and seat belt pretensioners.
