The air conditioning system is used

for:
– lowering the temperature inside the

passenger compartment;

– eliminating condensation more

quickly.

3.5

Air recirculation is for:

– isolating the vehicle from the exter-

nal atmosphere (driving in polluted

areas, etc.);

– lowering the passenger compart-

ment temperature as quickly as pos-

sible.

Switching the air

recirculation on

Press button 6: the integrated indicator

light comes on. In these conditions, air

is taken from the passenger compart-

ment and is recycled, with no air being

taken from outside the vehicle.

MANUAL AIR CONDITIONING

(2/3)

Prolonged use of air recirculation can lead to condensation forming on the side

windows and windscreen, and discomfort due to the use of non-renewed air in

the passenger compartment. We therefore advise you to return to normal mode

(external air) as soon as the air recirculation function is no longer required, by

pressing the button 6 again.

The air flow is distributed be-

tween all the air vents, the

front side window demisting vents, the

windscreen demisting vents and the

footwells.

ó

The air flow is directed mainly

towards the footwells.

G

The air flow is directed towards

the dashboard air vents, the

front footwells and, depending on the

vehicle, the second row footwells.

J

All the air flow is directed to the

dashboard vents.

3.6

Adjusting the ventilation

speed

Move control 2. The further the control

is positioned to the right, the greater the

amount of air blown into the passenger

compartment. If you want to shut off the

flow of air, set control 2 to OFF.

This function is managed automatically

(operation is confirmed by a warning

light on button 7), but you can also acti-

vate it manually.
The system determines whether or not

the air recycling function is used, based

on the quality of the outside air.

Manual use
Press button 7 – the integrated indica-

tor light comes on.
Prolonged use of this position may lead

to odours, caused by non-renewal of

air, and the formation of condensation

on the windows.
We therefore advise you to return to au-

tomatic mode as soon as air recircula-

tion is no longer needed, by pressing

button 7.
To exit this function, press button 7

again.

The demisting/de-icing will still take

priority over the air recirculation.

3.11

AIR CONDITIONING: information and advice on use

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.

Avoid resting any objects against

a half-open window: there is a risk

that the electric window could be

damaged.

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.
They may pose a risk to themselves

or to others by starting the engine

or activating equipment (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.

Passenger safety
The driver can prevent the

front and rear passenger

electric windows from op-

erating (and the driver’s window)

by pressing switch 4. A confirmation

message is displayed on the instru-

ment panel.

Electric windows

Press or pull the switch to raise or lower

a window to the desired height (the rear

windows do not open fully);
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.

These systems operate with the igni-

tion on or off, until one of the front doors

is opened (limited to about 3 minutes).

3.13

One-touch mode

Depending on the vehicle, this mode

works in addition to the operation of the

electric windows described previously.

It is only fitted to the driver’s window.

Briefly press or pull switch 1 fully: the

window is fully lowered or raised.

Pressing the switch again stops the

window moving.
Note: If the driver’s window detects re-

sistance when closing (e.g. tree branch,

etc.), it stops and then lowers again by

a few centimetres.

pull the switch concerned up as often

as necessary to fully close the window

(the window will close gradually), hold

the switch (still on the closure side) for

one second then lower and raise the

window fully to reinitialise the system.
If necessary, contact your authorised

dealer.
