AIR CONDITIONING(continued)
Air conditioning controls
ControlFoperates or stops
the air conditioning system.
The air conditioningwill not operate
if controlCis positioned on0.Using the air conditioning system:
• lowers the internal passenger
compartment temperature,
especially in hot weather, when
driving in traffic or when the
vehicle has been parked in the
sun;
• reduces the humidity of the air
blown inside the passenger
compartment (prevents misting).
Fuel consumption increases when
the air conditioning system is being
used. (Switch it off when it is not
required.)Note:the air conditioning may be
used in all conditions, but does not
operate when the external
temperature is low.

allow the hot air to escape before
starting off.
To lower the temperature of the
passenger compartment as quickly
as possible to the required level, use
the “Isolation of the passenger
compartment” function. Once the
required comfort level has been
reached, turn the recycling function
off.When the air conditioning is
operating, all the windows must be
closed to give the best efficiency.
If there is an operating fault, contact
your Renault Dealer.

ENGINE OIL LEVEL
It is normal for an engine to use oil
for lubrication and cooling of
moving parts and it is sometimes
necessary to top up the level
between oil changes.
However, if more than 0.5 litre is
used every 625 miles (1000 km)
aftertherunninginperiodconsult
your Renault Dealer.
Oil change frequency: Check the oil
level from time to time and
certainly before any long journey,
to avoid the risk of damaging your
engine.
Reading the oil level
The car must be parked on level
ground and the engine should have
been switched off for some time
beforehand to obtain an accurate
reading.
The oil level can be read:
- on the instrument panel;
- using the dipstick.Reading the level on the instrument
panel
When ignition has been switched
on for approximately 30 seconds:
-if the level is correct, the display
will show “oil OK”: display
message1
Special note:To gain a more
precise indication of the level,
press the trip mileage counter
reset button or the information
scroll button on the onboard
computer.The squares which appear on the
display indicate the level. The
number of squares displayed
reduces as the oil level drops and
they are replaced by a dash: display
message2.
To move to onboard computer
reading, press the button again).
-if the level is at its minimum,the
word “OK” will not appear on the
display, the dashes and the word
“oil” will flash (display message3)
and the indicator light
illuminates in the instrument
panel on some versions.
It is vital to top up the oil as soon
as possible.

pads wear, but it should never be
allowed to fall below the
MINIMUMwarning mark.Filling
After any operation on the
hydraulic circuit a specialist must
replace the brake fluid.
