HEATING - VENTILATION AND ISOLATING THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT(continued)
Isolating the passenger
compartment
ButtonC
Normal operation of the system is
obtained using external air.
The air recirculation position allows
the passenger compartment to be
isolated from the external atmosphere
(driving in polluted areas...).
To enter the isolation mode, press
buttonC.This function allows the desired
warmth of the passenger
compartment to be achieved as
quickly as possible.
This button switches the air
recirculation system on or off.
Warning lightDcomes on when the
function is operational. In this
position, air is taken from within the
passenger compartment and is
recycled without outside air entering.Prolonged use of the isolation mode
may cause odours due to the air not
being renewed and may cause the
windows to mist up.
Return to normal operation (external
air) by pressing buttonCas soon as
the polluted area is left behind.

AIR CONDITIONING(continued)
Air conditioning controls
ControlBoperates or stops
the air conditioning system.
The air conditioningwill not operate
if controlGis 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.
•ButtonBnot activated (warning
lightCoff)
The air conditioning is not
operational.
Heating and ventilation are
therefore identical to that of a
vehicle without air conditioning.
•ButtonBactivated (warning light
Con)
The air conditioning is operating.
Air is taken from outside the
vehicle and is constantly
renewed.

AUTOMATIC AIR CONDITIONING(continued)
OSwitching the air
conditioning on and off
In automatic mode, the system
switches the air conditioning
system on or off, depending on
external weather conditions.
The automatic mode is switched
off by pressing button11;the
indicator light in button1will go
out.Button11allows you to switch the
air conditioning system on or off.
N.B.:switching on the
demisting/de-icing function
(buttons5and6) automatically
switches on the air conditioning.
OAltering blower speed
In automatic mode, the system
uses the most suitable amount of
air to reach and maintain the
desired temperature.
Press button4or7to switch off
automatic mode.
The indicator light on button1
will go out.
These buttons increase or
decrease the amount of air blown
into the passenger compartment.
In cold weather, the automatic
air conditioning system will not
start immediately at maximum
power but will increase
gradually until the engine
temperature is warm enough to
heat the passenger compartment
air. This may take between 30
seconds and several minutes.

LEVELS(continued)
Power assisted steering pump
Frequency of changing:refer to the
Servicing booklet for your vehicle.
Level:The correct level when cold
should be:
- visible between theMinandMax
marks on reservoir1.
For topping up or refilling with oil,
use products approved by
RENAULT's Technical Department.
Battery
The battery does not require any
maintenance. Never open cover2.
Take care when working
in the engine
compartment as the
engine cooling fan may
cutinatanymoment
without warning.Handle the battery with
care as it contains
sulphuric acid which must
not come into contact with
the eyes or skin.
If it does, rinse with plenty of
water.
Keep all sources of flame, heat and
sparks away from the battery as
there is a risk of explosion.

is felt.
• Release the blade by pulling it (C).
Refitting a windscreen or rear

Ensure the blade is correctly locked
in position.
• In freezing conditions, make
sure that the wiper blades are
not stuck to the windscreen
(risk of overheating the motor).

FUSES
CORRECT INCORRECT
Fuse box2
If electrical equipment does not
work, check the condition of the
fuses.
Lift coverAusing handle1.
To identify the fuses, refer to the
fuse allocation label4(shown on
the page opposite).
It is not advisable to use the free
fuse locations.Check the fuse in question
andreplace it,if necessary,
with a fuse which must be
ofthesameratingasthe
original fuse.
If a fuse is fitted where the rating is
too high, it may cause the electrical
circuit to overheat (risk of fire) in
the event of an item of equipment
usinganexcessiveamountof
current.Removethefuseusingtweezers3.
Slide the fuse sideways to remove it
from the tweezers.
A sensible precaution:
Obtain an emergency kit
containing spare bulbs and fuses
from your RENAULT Dealer.

OPERATING FAULTS(continued)
On the open road CAUSES REMEDIAL ACTION
• Steering becomes hard to turn. Belt broken. Have the belt replaced.
Lack of oil in pump. Top up oil (see maintenance section).
If the fault persists, consult your
Renault Dealer.
• The engine overheats. The coolant
temperature warning light illuminates
(or the needle on the gauge is in the
red zone).Water pump: belt slack or broken.
Faulty engine cooling fan.Stop the vehicle, switch off the engine
and call for the assistance of a Renault
Dealer.
Coolant leaks. Check the condition of the hoses and
clips.
Check the expansion bottle: it should
contain coolant. If it does not, top up
the level(after letting the engine cool
down).Take care not to burn yourself.
This action is only temporary: consult
your Renault Dealer as soon as
possible.
Radiator
Never fill a hot radiator with cold coolant if a considerable quantity has been lost. After any operation
on the vehicle which has involved even partial draining of the cooling system, it must be refilled with a
new mixture prepared in the correct proportions. Reminder: only products approved by our Technical
Department may be used for this purpose.
