With the engine switched off, any ac-
cessories being used (radio, etc.) will
continue to function for approximately
10 minutes.
When the driver's door is opened, the
accessories stop working.
Note: if the accessories (radio, etc.)
have been switched on after the engine
has been switched off, they will switch
off when the driver's door is opened
(however, the exterior lights do not go
out, but a beep sounds).
When you leave your vehi-
cle, especially if you have
your RENAULT card with
you, check that the engine
is completely switched off.
Never leave your vehicle
with the RENAULT card
inside and never leave a
child (or a pet) unsuper-
vised, even for a short while.
There is a risk that they could start
the engine or operate electrical
equipment (electric windows etc.)
and trap part of their body (neck,
arms, hands, etc.).
Risk of serious injury.
Never switch off the ignition before
the vehicle has stopped completely.
Once the engine has stopped, the
brake servo, power-assisted steer-
ing, etc. and the passive safety de-
vices such as airbags and preten-
sioners will no longer operate.
