AIR CONDITIONING: information and advice on use
Fuel consumption
You will normally notice an increase
in fuel consumption (especially
when driving in town) when the air
conditioning is operating.
For vehicles fitted with manual air
conditioning, switch off the system
when it is not required.
Advice for reducing consumption
and therefore helping to preserve
the environment:
Drive with the air 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 Maintenance Service
Booklet for your vehicle for the in -
spection frequency.Vehicles fitted with an auxiliary
heater
Some vehicles are fitted with an
auxiliary heater which heats the pas-
senger compartment more quickly.
This device operates only when
the engine is running and in cold
weather.
When the device is functioning you
can normally see a small amount of
smoke on the right-hand side of the
vehicle coming from the heater’s ex-
haust system.Operating faults
As a general rule, contact your ap-
proved dealer in the event of an op-
erating fault.
– Reduction in de-icing, demist -
ing or air conditioning per -
formance. 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.
Do not open the refriger -
ant fluid circuit. The fluid
may damage eyes or skin.
Notes
Presence of water under the ve -
hicle. After prolonged use of the air
conditioning system, it is normal for
water to be present under the vehi-
cle. This is caused by condensation.
Do not add anything to the
vehicle’s ventilation circuit
(for example, to remove
bad odours).
There is a risk of damage or of
fire.

ELECTRIC WINDOWS (continued)
From the rear seats
Press switch 7.
Using switch 4

eration of the rear windows, rear door

Safety of rear occupants
The driver can authorise
operation of the rear doors
and, depending on the ve -
hicle, the rear electric windows by
pressing switch 4 . The integrated
indicator on the switch confirms this.
Driver’s responsibility
Never leave your vehicle with the
RENAULT card inside and never
leave a child (or a pet) unsuper -
vised, even for a short while. The
reason for this is that the child may
endanger himself or others by start-
ing the vehicle, activating equip -
ment such as the windows, or lock-
ing the doors. If any part of the body
becomes trapped, reverse the di -
rection of the window immediately
by pressing the relevant switch.
Risk of serious injury.

Coolant leaks. Check the coolant reservoir: it should con-
tain fluid. If there is no coolant, consult an
approved dealer as soon as possible.
radiator: If there is a significant lack of coolant, remember that it must never be topped up using cold coolant while
the engine is very warm. After any procedure 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.
