Switching off the lights

There are two possibilities:

A warning beep sounds when the driver's door is opened to warn you that the lights are still on.

"See-me-home lighting" function

With the engine and lights switched off and the ring 3 in position 0 or AUTO, pull the stalk 1 towards you: the dipped beam headlights come on for approximately 30 seconds. To increase this duration, you may pull the stalk up to four times (total time limited to approximately 2 minutes). The message "Follow me home for _ _ _" along with the time the lights will be on for is displayed on the instrument panel to confirm this action. You can then lock your vehicle.

Welcome and goodbye function (depending on the vehicle)

Once the function is activated, the daytime running lights and the rear side light light up automatically upon detecting the RENAULT card or when the vehicle is unlocked.
