Démarrage, arrêt moteur : véhicule avec carte (XFK - Renault)
STARTING, STOPPING THE ENGINE: vehicle with card (3/3)
Conditions for stopping the
engine
The vehicle must be at a standstill.
With the card in the vehicle, press the
button 3: the engine is stopped, the
“READY” message disappears from
the instrument panel and the parking
brake is applied. The steering 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.
3
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 button 3 for longer than
three seconds. If the card is no longer
in the passenger compartment, make
sure you can retrieve it before press-
ing and holding the button. Without the
card, you will not be able to restart 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.
