Switching off the engine

Engine stop conditions

The vehicle must be stationary, with the lever in N or P for vehicles with automatic gearbox.

RENAULT remote-control card

Card in the reader 2, press button 1: the engine stops. In this case, removing the card from the reader locks the steering column.

Special feature

If the card is no longer in the reader when you request engine stop, the "card absent, long press" message appears on the instrument panel: press and hold button 1 for more than two seconds.

RENAULT "hands-free" card

Card in the vehicle, press button 1: the engine stops. The steering column locks when the driver's door is opened or when the vehicle is locked.

If the card is no longer in the passenger compartment when you request engine stop, the "card absent, long press" message appears on the instrument panel: press and hold button 1 for more than two seconds.

With the engine off, accessories (radio, etc.) in use at that time continue to operate for about 10 minutes.

When the driver's door is opened, the accessories stop operating.

When you leave your vehicle, especially with your RENAULT card on you, make sure the engine is switched off.Never leave your vehicle with the RENAULT card inside and a child (or an animal) left in it, even for a short time.

The child could start the vehicle or operate electrical equipment (window lifters, etc.) and risk trapping a part of the body (neck, arm, hand, etc.).

Risk of serious injury.

Never switch off the ignition before the vehicle has come to a complete stop. Stopping the engine cancels power assistance (brakes, steering, etc.) and passive safety systems such as airbags and pretensioners.
