Démarrage, arrêt moteur : véhicule avec carte (BJA - Renault)
STARTING, STOPPING THE ENGINE: vehicle with card (4/4)
Conditions for stopping the
engine
The vehicle must be stationary, with the
lever positioned in P for vehicles with
an automatic gearbox.
With the card in the vehicle, press
button 2: the engine stops. The steer-
ing column is locked when a door is
opened or the vehicle is locked.
When you leave your vehi-
cle, especially if you have
your card with you, check
that the engine is com-
pletely switched off.
2
If the card is no longer in the passen-
ger compartment or if the card’s bat-
tery is flat, when the vehicle is station-
ary and you try to switch the engine off,
the message “Keycard absent: press/
hold START” appears on the instrument
panel: press the 2 button for longer than
three seconds.
If the card is no longer in the passen-
ger compartment, make sure you can
retrieve it before pressing and holding
the button: without the card, you will not
be able to start the vehicle.
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.
Driver’s responsibility
when parking or stopping
the vehicle
Never leave an animal,
child or adult who is not self-suffi-
cient alone in your vehicle, even for
a short time.
They may pose a risk to themselves
or to others by starting the engine,
activating equipment such as the
electric windows or locking the
doors, for example.
Also, in hot and/or sunny weather,
please remember that the tempera-
ture inside the passenger compart-
ment increases very quickly.
RISK OF DEATH OR SERIOUS
INJURY.
Never switch off the igni-
tion 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 the airbags and pre-
tensioners will no longer operate.
