Replacing the battery

Remove the battery by pressing down on one side (movement A) and lifting on the other (movement B), then replace it, observing the polarity and the model printed inside cover 3.

To refit, proceed in reverse order, then press one of the card's buttons four times near the vehicle: the message disappears at the next start.

Note: when replacing the battery, do not touch the electronic circuit and the contacts located in the RENAULT card.

Make sure the cover is securely clipped.

Batteries are available from a Brand Representative; their service life is approximately two years. Make sure there is no ink on the battery, as this may cause a poor electrical contact.
