RADIO Role of components Radio The radio transmits audio signals into the vehicle via the speakers. Aerial The aerial receives radio waves from different stations. Compact disc player The compact disc player reads compact discs and reproduces the music on the radio. Display The display shows various radio information such as the name/frequency of the radio station being listened to, the sound level, as well as various audio settings.

RADIO Defect and safe modes Defect modes: If the 4-digit anti-theft code entered is incorrect, the system locks and the message "CODE" appears on the display. Before trying to enter the code again, wait for the system to come on and unlock itself. Thermal protection A thermal protection is integrated into the CD radio in order to protect the laser diode.

RADIO Configuration – Settings TUNER CONFIGURATION The radio configuration can be corrected or changed when the anti-theft code is first entered. With the radio off, press buttons 1, 5 and ON simultaneously. This mode allows users to choose the preferred type of tuner. The tuner choices are Europe, United States, Asia, or Arabia.

RADIO Self-test procedure The radio self-test modes are used to check certain basic functions by pressing a combination of buttons. Reception level fault finding This mode activates fault finding on the radio reception level. With the radio off, press buttons 3, 6, and ON simultaneously. After entering into this mode, the display indicates: –...

There are three ways to recover the radio code (4 digits): 1 – Only the VIN is available: connect to code management on Renault.Net and enter the VIN. The code server gives the original radio code entered in the World Vehicle Database (BVM).
Page 10
RADIO Anti-theft code The radio is protected by a four digit code. This code must be entered using the radio keypad every time the battery is disconnected: Enter the digits using buttons 1, 2, 3 and 4, and then confirm with button 6. If the code is entered incorrectly, the radio will be locked (1 minute for the first error, 2 minutes for the second error, 4 minutes for the third error, etc., for a maximum of 32 minutes after each attempt).
