AIR CONDITIONING: information and advice on use

Do not add anything to the

vehicle’s ventilation circuit

(for example, to remove

bad odours).

There is a risk of damage or of

fire.

Do not open the refriger-

ant fluid circuit. The fluid

may damage eyes or skin.

Fuel consumption

You will normally notice an increase in

fuel consumption (especially in town)

when the air conditioning is operating.
For vehicles fitted with air conditioning

with no automatic mode, switch off the

system when it is not required.
Advice for reducing consumption

and helping to preserve the environ-

ment
Drive with the air vents open and the

windows closed.
If the vehicle has been parked in the

sun, open the doors for a few moments

to let the hot air escape before starting

the engine.

Maintenance

Refer to the Maintenance Document

for your vehicle for the inspection fre-

quency.

Operating faults

As a general rule, contact your ap-

proved dealer in the event of an oper-

ating fault.
– Reduction in de-icing, demisting

or air conditioning performance.

This may be caused by the passen-

ger compartment filter cartridge be-

coming clogged.

– No cold air is being produced.

Check that the controls are set cor-

rectly and that the fuses are sound.

Otherwise, switch off the system.

Presence of water under the

vehicle

After prolonged use of the air condi-

tioning system, it is normal for water

to be present under the vehicle. This is

caused by condensation.

Advice on use

In some situations, (air conditioning

off, air recirculation activated, ventila-

tion speed at zero or low, etc.) you may

notice that condensation starts to form

on the windows and windscreen.
If there is condensation, use the “Clear

View” function to remove it, then use

the air conditioning in automatic mode

to stop it forming again.

Vehicles equipped with the

ECOmode: once activated, ECO

mode can reduce the perform-

ance of the automatic air condition-

ing. Please refer to the information

on “Driving advice, Eco-driving” in

Section 2.

These systems operate:
– with the engine running;
– with the ignition off until one of the

front doors is opened (limited to ap-

proximately 12 minutes).

– with the engine off, front doors

closed, after pressing the start

button.

Press the window switch down or pull it

up to lower or raise the window to the

desired height: the rear windows do not

open fully.

Safety of rear occupants

The driver can disable operation of the rear electric windows and doors

by pressing switch 4. A confirmation message is displayed on the instru-

ment panel.

Driver’s responsibility

Never leave your vehicle with the RENAULT card or key inside, and never leave

a child, adult who is not self-sufficient or a pet, even for a short while. They may

pose a risk to themselves or to others by starting the engine or activating equip-

ment (such as the gear lever or electric windows). If any part of the body becomes

trapped, reverse the direction of the window immediately by pressing the relevant

switch.
Risk of serious injury.

Avoid resting any objects against

a half-open window: there is a risk

that the electric window could be

damaged.

From the driver’s seat, use switch:

1 for the driver’s side;

2 for the front passenger side;

3 and 5 for the rear passenger win-

dows.

From the passenger seats, use

switch 6.

3.17

Operating faults

In case of a fault when closing a

window, the system reverts to normal

mode: pull the switch as many times as

necessary until the window closes com-

pletely, hold the switch (still on the clo-

sing side) for around one second, then

completely lower then raise the window

to reset the system.
If necessary, contact an approved

Dealer.

ELECTRIC WINDOWS

(2/2)

Remote control window

closing

(vehicles with 4 one-touch electric win-

dows).
When you lock the doors from the out-

side, press the locking button on the

RENAULTcard twice in quick suc-

cession, or on the driver’s door in

hands-free mode, and all the windows

will close automatically (and, depen-

ding on the vehicle, the sunroof).
It is recommended that the user only

operates the system when the vehi-

cle can be seen clearly and no one is

inside.

When closing the windows,

ensure that no part of the

body (arm, hand, etc.) is

protruding from the vehicle.

Risk of serious injury.

One-touch mode
This mode works in addition to the ope-

ration of the electric windows described

previously.
Briefly press or pull the window switch

fully: the window is fully lowered or

raised. Pressing the switch again stops

the window moving.
Note: if the window detects resistance

when closing (e.g.: branch of a tree,

etc.) it stops and then lowers again by a

few centimetres.

A

B

Moving the position 0 directly to po-

sition B causes the simultaneous

opening of the curtain and the roof.

Driver’s responsibility

Never leave your vehicle

with the RENAULT card or

key inside, and never leave

a child, adult who is not self-suffi-

cient or a pet, even for a short while.

The reason for this is that the child

may endanger itself or others by

starting the engine, activating

equipment such as the sunroof for

example, or locking the doors.

If something gets trapped, reverse

the direction of travel as soon as

possible by turning button 2 fully to

the right (position B).

Risk of serious injury.

Special features

Pressing button 2 allows the curtain to

be automatically positioned depending

on the position of the sunroof.

Pressing button 2 when the roof and

the curtain are in the same opening po-

sition enables the curtain to be opened

fully.

ELECTRIC SUNROOF

(2/3)

Closing the sunroof by

remote control

(depending on the vehicle)
If you press the locking button on

the card twice in quick succession

RENAULT,, the windows and the elec-

tric sunroof will close automatically.
It is recommended that the user only

operates the system when the vehi-

cle can be seen clearly and no one is

inside.

Precautions during use

– Vehicle with loaded roof bars.

As a general rule, if there is a load

on the roof, use of the sunroof is not

recommended.
Before using the sunroof, check the

objects and/or accessories (bike

racks, roof boxes, etc.) attached to

the roof bars: they should be pro-

perly arranged and secured and

should not interfere with the opera-

tion of the sunroof.
Contact an approved dealer for de-

tails of possible conversions;

– check that the sunroof is properly

closed before leaving your vehicle;

– clean the seal every three months

using products recommended by our

Technical Department;

– do not open the sunroof immedia-

tely after it has rained or immediately

after washing the vehicle.

When closing the sunroof,

ensure that no part of the

body (arm, hand, etc.) is

protruding from the vehicle.

Risk of serious injury.

Special features
Your vehicle is fitted with an anti-pinch

facility: when the sunroof encounters

resistance whilst closing (arm, tree

branch etc.), it stops and then moves

back a few centimetres.
After closing the sunroof by remote

control, pressing button 2 allows the

sunroof to return to its previous posi-

tion.

3.20

Operating fault

– If the sunroof will not close, turn

switch 2 to position B to open the

sunroof, then turn switch 2 to posi-
