HEATING - VENTILATION WITH TEMPORARY ISOLATION OF THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT(continued)
Adjusting the amount of air
supplied to the passenger
compartment
ONormal use
Move controlCfrom
(position1)to4.
Ventilation in the passenger
compartment is by “blown air”.
The ventilation fan determines
the amount of inlet air. The
vehicle speed has a slight effect
on this.
This principle improves the
stability of the passenger
compartment air temperature.
The further the control is
positioned to the right, the
greater the quantity of air blown
into the passenger compartment.
Position O
In this position:
- The ventilation speed of air
supplied to the passenger
compartment is zero;
- there is, however, a slight flow
of air when the vehicle is
moving.
To alter this setting, move control
Cto the setting or higher.
OTemporary isolation of the
passenger compartment
Move controlCfrom
(position1)to4.
Air recycling allows the desired
temperaturetobeachievedas
quickly as possible.
This switches the air recycling
system on or off.
Normal operation of the heating
and ventilation system is
obtained using external air.The air recycling position allows
you to isolate yourself from the
external atmosphere (when driving
in polluted areas, etc.).
Prolonged use of this position
(recycled air) may mist up the
windows slightly or cause odours
due to the air not being renewed.
It is advisable therefore to return to
normal operation (external air) by
adjusting controlCwhen you have
passed through the polluted area.

In this position, if the air

AIR CONDITIONING(continued)
In very hot weather or when the
vehicle has been parked in the sun,
open the doors for a few moments to
let the hot air escape before starting
off.
Air recycling allows the desired
temperature setting to be achieved
more quickly. Switch off recycling
mode as soon as the desired
temperature is reached.When the air conditioning system is
operating, all windows must be
closed for maximum efficiency.
If there is an operating fault, consult
your Renault Dealer.
If no cool air is produced
Check that the controls are set
correctly and that the fuses are in
good condition. If both these points
are correct, switch off the system
(tell-tale lightDextinguished) and
consult a Renault Dealer.
Do not open the
refrigerant circuit: this
may cause injury to the
eyes or skin.

If there is a child (or animal) in the car, never leave it unattended
with the key in the ignition. With the key in the ignition it would be
possible to operate the electric windows and there is a risk that the child
may be seriously injured (by trapping his or her neck, arm, hand, etc.).

HOOD MAINTENANCE
Plastic hood
The plastic hood must be cleaned
frequently.
• To remove marks and stains, use a
soft brush and soapy water only
or the special product for
hoods available from Renault
Dealerships. (Solvents, chlorinated
detergents and the like must not
be used as they will damage the
hood.)
•Under no circumstances is
high-pressure equipment to be
used to clean the hood.
Fabric hood
Thereisnoneedtowashthehood
whenever the car is washed. If it is
merely dusty, simply clean it with a
soft brush. Always brush along the
weft of the fabric (from front to rear).
• To remove marks and stains,
clean the hood with a soft brush
following the weft of the fabric.
Thoroughly moisten the hood
with water and remove marks and
stains using a soft brush and
soapy water or the special
product available from Renault
Dealerships.
Then rinse with plenty of clean
water (still brushing in the
direction of the weft).
•Under no circumstances is
high-pressure equipment to be
used to clean the hood.
Rear screen

window which is available from
Renault Dealerships.
• It is not advisable to drive the vehicle through an automatic car wash as the rotating brushes may damage the
appearance of the hood fabric and the rear screen.
• Remember to comply with local legislation when washing a car (e.g. in some countries it is illegal to wash your car
on the public highway).
• Bird droppings must be removed immediately: the acids they contain may damage the hood.
• Only fold down the hood when it is perfectly dry,otherwise stubborn marks, or even eventually spots of mould,
may be caused as a result of compression.
