Immobiliser warning light
This prevents the vehicle being
driven by anyone not in possession
of the vehicle's coded ignition key.
Any unauthorised work
carried out on the engine
immobiliser (computers,
wiring, etc.) could be
dangerous. It must be carried out
by trained RENAULT network
personnel.
Operating principle
The vehicle is automatically
protected a few seconds after taking
the key out of the ignition.
If the vehicle does not recognise the
ignition key code, warning light 1
will flash continuously and the
engine cannot be started.
• Engine immobiliser operation
indicator light
When the ignition is switched on,
indicator light 1 comes on for
approximately three seconds and
then goes out. The vehicle has
recognised the code. You can then
start the engine.
• Vehicle protection indicator light
A few seconds after the ignition
has been switched off, indicator
light 1 will flash continuously.
The vehicle will not be protected
until the key has been taken out of
the ignition.
The vehicle will not be protected
until the key has been taken out
of the ignition.
• Operating fault warning light
After the ignition has been
switched on, if warning light 1
continues to flash or remains
continuously lit, this indicates a
system operating fault.
In all cases, it is essential to contact
a RENAULT Dealer, who alone is
qualified to repair the engine
immobiliser.
If the coded ignition key is faulty,
use the second key (supplied with
the vehicle). If you do not have
access to this, it is essential to
contact a RENAULT Dealer, who
alone is qualified to repair the
engine immobiliser.
