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.
