Renault Duster 2010-2025 ENGINE IMMOBILISER

ENGINE IMMOBILISER

This prevents the vehicle being driven by anyone not in possession of the vehicle’s coded ignition key.

Operating Principle

The vehicle is automatically protected a few seconds after the ignition is switched off. If the vehicle does not recognise the coded ignition key, tell-tale light 1 will flash continuously and the engine cannot be started.

Warning
Any unauthorised work carried out on the engine immobiliser (computers, wiring, etc.) could be dangerous. Work must be carried out by qualified personnel.
System Operation

When the ignition is switched on, tell-tale 1 lights up continuously for approximately three seconds and then goes out. The vehicle has recognised the code. You can then start the engine.

Vehicle Protection

A few seconds after the ignition has been switched off, tell-tale light 1 will flash constantly. The vehicle will only be protected after the ignition has been switched off.

Operating Faults

After the ignition has been switched on, if warning light 1 continues to flash or remains continuously lit, there is a system operating fault.

In all cases, it is essential to contact an approved dealer as only they are qualified to repair the engine immobiliser.

If the coded ignition key is faulty, use the second key (supplied with the vehicle).

Safety Advice
  • For safety reasons, carry out any adjustments when the vehicle is not being driven.
  • Avoid reclining the seatbacks too far to ensure seat belt effectiveness.
  • Make sure that the seatbacks are correctly locked in place.
  • Nothing should be placed on the floor in front of the driver as objects may slide under the pedals during braking.
Heated Seats

Depending on the vehicle, with the ignition on, press switch 3. The system, which has a thermostat, decides whether or not heating is needed.

To Tilt the Seatback

Depending on the vehicle, move the handle or control knob 4 and tilt the seatback to the desired position.


SEAT BELTS (1/4)

Always wear your seat belt when travelling in your vehicle. You must also comply with the legislation of the particular country you are in.

Important
Incorrectly adjusted or twisted seat belts may cause injuries in the event of an accident.

The seatbelt is for the use of one person only, whether adult or child. Even pregnant women should wear a seat belt. In this case, ensure that the lap belt is not exerting too much pressure on the abdomen, but do not allow any slack.

Adjusting Your Driving Position
  • Sit well back in your seat (remove coat or jacket if necessary).
  • Adjust the distance between the seat and the pedals so the clutch can be fully depressed.
  • Adjust the seatback so your arms are slightly bent when holding the steering wheel.
  • Adjust the headrest so your head is as close as possible to it.
  • Adjust the seat height for the best possible view.
  • Adjust the position of the steering wheel.
Adjusting the Seat Belts

Sit with your back firmly against the seatback.

  • Shoulder strap 1: should be close to the base of the neck but not on it.
  • Lap belt 2: must lie flat over the thighs and against the pelvis.

The seat belt must be worn as close to the body as possible. Avoid heavy clothing or bulky objects under the belts.

Make sure that the rear bench seat is locked in position correctly so that the rear seat belts operate efficiently.

SEAT BELTS (2/4)

To Fasten

Unwind the belt slowly and smoothly and ensure that buckle 4 locks into catch 6. Check that it is locked by pulling on the buckle.

If the belt jams, allow it to return before attempting to unwind it again. If the belt is completely jammed, pull slowly but firmly so that just over 3 cm unwinds. Allow it to return slightly before attempting again.

If the problem persists, contact an approved dealer.

Adjusting the Front Seat Belt Height

Move button 7 to select the position so that chest strap 3 is worn correctly. Make sure the seat belt is locked in position after adjustment.

Seat Belt Reminder Light

Depending on the vehicle, it comes on when the engine starts if the driver’s seat belt is not fastened. When the vehicle is being driven, it remains on and a beep sounds for approximately two minutes until the belt is fastened.

Unlocking

Press button 5 on catch 6. The seat belt is wound up by the inertia reel. Guide the buckle to assist the movement.
