Operating faults

If the battery is too weak to ensure correct operation, you can still start (insert the RENAULT card in the card reader) and lock/unlock the vehicle (refer to the information on "Locking/unlocking the doors" in Section 1).

The batteries are available from approved Dealers, and their service life approximately two years. Check that there is no dye on the battery: risk of an incorrect electrical contact.

Replacing the battery

When the message “KEYCARD BATTERY LOW” appears on the instrument panel, replace the battery in the RENAULT card:

- press the 1 button while pulling on the emergency key 2;

- unclip the cover 3 using the tab 4;

- remove the battery by pressing on one side (movement A), and lifting the other (movement B);

- replace according to the direction and model indicated inside the cover 3.

When refitting, proceed in the reverse order, then press one of the buttons on the card four times, close to the vehicle: the next time the vehicle is started, the message will disappear.

Check that the cover is clipped shut.

When replacing:

- make sure that the batteries are correctly inserted.

There is a risk of explosion.

- if the flap does not close correctly, do not use and keep out of reach of children.

When they need to be replaced, be sure to use the same or equivalent type of battery (consult an Approved Dealer).

Precautions relating to batteries:

- keep (new or used) batteries out of reach of children;

- not to swallow the batteries.

Risk of chemical burns which may prove fatal.

- if ingested or inserted into any part of the body, consult a doctor as soon as possible.

Do not throw away your used batteries; give them to an organisation responsible for collecting and recycling batteries.
