HEATING/AIR CONDITIONING (continued)
Position 0
In this position:
- air conditioning stops automaticallyeven if button Fis activated (the
indicator light remains lit);
- the ventilation speed of air in the passenger compartment is zero;
- there is, however, a slight flow of air when the vehicle is moving.
This position should not normally
be used.
Switching air conditioning
on or off
The air conditioning is switched on
(indicator light on) or off (indicator
light off) using button F.
The air conditioning system can be
used to:
- lower the temperature inside the passenger compartment;
- eliminate condensation more quickly.
The air conditioning does not
operate when the external
temperature is low.
Adjusting the blower speed
Normal use
Turn control Cto one of the four
positions to start the blower and
adjust the power.
Select position 1for minimum
ventilation and position 4for
maximum ventilation.

HEATING/AIR CONDITIONING (continued)
Air recirculation operation
(isolating the passenger
compartment)
Turn control Atowards the air
recirculation symbol .
In these conditions air is taken from
the passenger compartment and is
recirculated, with no air being taken
from outside the vehicle.
Air recirculation is used to:
- isolate the vehicle from the external atmosphere (driving in
polluted areas, etc.),
- reach the desired temperature in the passenger compartment as
quickly as possible. Prolonged use of this position can
lead to condensation forming on
the side windows and windscreen
and problems 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 recirculated air
function is no longer required, by
turning control
Aagain.

CLIMATE CONTROL (continued)
Ambient temperature (automatic
mode)
The climate control system
guarantees comfort in the passenger
compartment and good visibility
(except in the event of extreme
conditions), while optimising
consumption.
This is the recommended mode of
use. Only the temperature and the
AUTO symbol are displayed
Functions managed in automatic
mode are not displayed.- press button
7to increase the
temperature,
- press button 4to decrease the
temperature.
Note: the minimum and maximum
settings “15 °C” and “27 °C” allow
the system to produce a maximum
amount of cold or warm air,
regardless of the ambient
conditions.
In automatic mode (AUTO
indicator light on the display is
lit), all air conditioning functions
are controlled by the system.
When you modify certain
functions the AUTO indicator
light goes out. Only the modified
function is not controlled by the
system.

CLIMATE CONTROL (continued)
Ambient temperature: (automatic
mode)
(continued)
Operation
To reach and keep the chosen
comfort level and to maintain good
visibility, the system controls:
- ventilation speed,
- the air distribution,
- the air recirculation management,
- starting and stopping of the air conditioning,
- the air temperature.Adjusting automatic mode
The automatic mode is the normal
operating mode of the system but
you may alter the selections made
by the system (air distribution, etc.).
These options are explained on the
following pages.
The displayed temperature values
show a comfort level.
When the vehicle is started in cold
or hot weather, increasing or
decreasing the values displayed
does not mean that the temperature
is reached more quickly, whatever
the indicated temperature may be,
the system optimises the increase
or decrease in temperature (the
ventilation system does not start
instantly at maximum speed: it
gradually increases until the
engine temperature is sufficient,
which may take from a few seconds
to several minutes).
Generally speaking, unless there is
a particular fault, the dashboard air
vents should remain open.
The automatic mode is the
recommended mode of use: in
this mode the automatic climate
control system guarantees comfort
in the passenger compartment and
good visibility (except in the event
of extreme conditions), while
optimising consumption. The
types of adjustments that can be
made are described on the
following pages.
Return to automatic mode as
soon as possible.

CLIMATE CONTROL (continued)
Varying the ventilation speed
In automatic mode, the system uses
the most suitable amount of air to
reach and maintain the desired
comfort level.
Exit automatic mode by pressing
buttons 9and 11.
These buttons allow you to increase
or decrease ventilation speed.
Switching air conditioning on
or off
In automatic mode, the system
switches the air conditioning system
on or off, depending on the exterior
weather conditions.
Exit automatic mode by pressing
button 3: the AUTO indicator on
display 5switches off.
Button 3activates (indicator light on
the display lit) or deactivates
(indicator light off) the air
conditioning function. Note:
the “clear view” function
automatically activates the air
conditioning system (indicator light
on). Press button 6to return to
automatic mode.
In automatic mode, in cold
weather, the ventilation will not
start immediately at maximum
power but will increase
progressively until the engine
temperature is warm enough to
heat the passenger compartment
air. This may take from a few
seconds to several minutes.

AIR CONDITIONING: information and operating advice
Fuel consumption
You will normally notice an
increase in fuel consumption
(especially in town) when the air
conditioning is operating.
For vehicles fitted with manual air
conditioning, switch off the system
when it is not required.
Some advice for reducing
consumption and therefore helping
to conserve the environment:
It is advisable to drive with the
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 Warranty and Services
booklet for your vehicle for the
replacement frequency.
Operating faults
Generally, in the event of an
operating fault, consult your
RENAULT Dealer. - Reduction in de-icing, demisting
or air conditioning performance.
This may be caused by the
passenger compartment filter
cartridge becoming clogged.
- No cold air is being produced.
Check that the controls are set
correctly and that the fuses are
sound. Otherwise, switch off the
system.
- Presence of water under the
vehicle . After prolonged use of the
air conditioning system, it is
normal for water to be present
under the vehicle. This is caused
by condensation.
Do not open the refrigerant fluid
circuit. The fluid may damage the
eyes or skin.
