AIR CONDITIONING(continued)
Air conditioning controls
ControlCoperates or stops
the air conditioning system.
The system will not operate if
controlEis set at0.The use of 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).Note:The air conditioning may be
used in all conditions but does not
operate when the external
temperature is low.
•ButtonCnot activated (tell-tale
lightDextinguished)
The air conditioning is not
operational.
Heating and ventilation are
therefore identical to that of a
vehicle without air conditioning.
•ButtonCactivated (tell-tale light
Dilluminated)
The air conditioning is activated.
The air is taken from outside the
vehicle and is constantly
renewed.

AIR CONDITIONING(continued)
Adjusting the amount of air
supplied to the passenger
compartment
ONormal use
Move controlEfrom
(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
Eto the setting or higher.
OTemporary isolation of the
passenger compartment
Move controlEfrom
(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.

Child safety
Switch5overrides the operation of the rear windows.
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.).

LEVELS(continued)
Brake fluid level
This should be checked frequently,
especially if you notice even the
slightest loss in braking efficiency.
Level1
It is normal for the level to drop as
the brake pads become worn but it
should never fall below the“MIN”
line.Topping up
After any operation on the
hydraulic circuit, a specialist must
replace the brake fluid.
Only use Renault-approved fluids
taken from a sealed container.
Intervals between fluid changes
Refer to the servicing booklet for
your vehicle.
Take care when working
in the engine compartment
