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.

BODYWORK MAINTENANCE
Protection against the effects of
corrosive agents
Although your vehicle has been
treated with very effective anti-
corrosion products, it nevertheless
remains subject to the effects of:
• corrosives in the atmosphere- atmospheric pollution (urbanand industrial areas).
- saline atmospheres (near the sea, particularly in hot weather),
- seasonal and damp climatic conditions, (e.g: road salt in
winter, water from road
cleaners).
 abrasives Wind-borne dust and sand, mud,
road grit thrown up by other
vehicles.
 minor impacts
You should take a number of minor
precautions in order to safeguard
your vehicle against such risks and
not to lose the benefit of your
vehicle’s anti-corrosion protection.
You should not
 Wash the vehicle in bright
sunlight or freezing temperatures.
 Scrape off mud or dirt without
pre-wetting.
 Allow dirt to accumulate.
 Allow rust to form following
minor impacts.
 Use solvents not approved by
RENAULT’s Technical Department
to remove stains as this could
damage the paintwork.
 Drive frequently in snow or
muddy conditions without
periodically washing the vehicle,
particularly under the wheel
arches and body. 
Degrease or clean mechanical
components (e.g. engine
compartment), underneath the
bodywork, parts with hinges (e.g.
inside the fuel tank flap) and
painted plastic external fittings
(e.g. bumpers) using high pressure
cleaning apparatus or by spraying
on products not approved by
RENAULT’s Technical Department.
If adequate precautions are not
taken, this could give rise to
corrosion or operational faults.
