Battery life
RENAULT cards are powered by a
battery which must be replaced when
battery tell-tale light 4 no longer lights
up (refer to the information on the
“RENAULT card: battery" in Section 5).
s pecial note: for some vehicles, the
RENAULT card records the settings se-
lected by the card user: the choice of
settings for the automatic climate con -
trol, some radios, electric seats (if this
is stored), the rear view mirror position-
ing, etc. It is therefore advisable always
to keep the same RENAULT card so
that you can recall your personal set -
tings.

Automatic mode is the recom -
mended mode of use
The automatic climate control
system guarantees comfort in the
passenger compartment and good
visibility (except in the event of ex -
treme conditions), while optimising
consumption.
The types of adjustments that can
be made are described in the follow-
ing pages.
Return to automatic mode as soon
as possible.

AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL (continued)
Adjusting the comfort level
Driver’s side
Press button 3 to increase the tempera-
ture.
Press button 4 to decrease the temper-
ature. Front passenger side
Press button
13 to increase the tem -
perature.
Press button 14 to decrease the tem -
perature.
The comfort level can be adjusted from
16 to 26°C.
The maximum and minimum settings
of 16°C and 26°C, both on the left and
right-hand sides, allow the system to
produce a minimum or maximum tem -
perature, whatever the ambient condi -
tions. If the maximum temperature settings
are identical on both the passenger and
driver sides, changing the temperature
setting on one of the controls can lead
to a forced air temperature variation on
the side where the control is still set at
the maximum temperature.
When the external temperature is lower
than 2°C, it is normal for the system not
to work.
There are two ways of using it:
–
by using just buttons 3 and 4 on
the driver’s side, you can adjust the
comfort level for the entire passen -
ger compartment; the temperatures
shown on displays 7 and 12 are
always the same;
– by using buttons 13 and 14, you can
adjust the comfort level independ-
ently for the left and the right-hand
sides. Buttons 3 and 4 adjust the
comfort level on the driver ’s side,
buttons 13 and 14 adjust the comfort
level on the passenger side.

AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL (continued)
The are two options for enabling the
driver to adjust the comfort level in the
entire passenger compartment again:
– automatically, after the ignition has
been switched off for at least 20 min-
utes;
– manually, by pressing and holding
the AUTO button 1 until operating
tell-tale A starts flashing, even if it
was already lit. Note: the temperature displayed on the
passenger side will take on the same
value as that shown on the driver ’s
side.
Special note
The RENAULT card stores the set
-
tings selected by the user. It is there -
fore advisable always to keep the same
RENAULT card so that you can find
your personal settings.

The displayed temperature values
show a comfort level.
When starting the engine, increas -
ing or decreasing the value dis -
played will not allow the com -
fort level to be reached any more
quickly. The system will always op-
timise the temperature increase or
decrease (the ventilation system
does not start instantly at maximum
speed: it gradually increases). This
may take several minutes.
Generally speaking, unless there is
a particular reason not to, the dash-
board air vents should remain open.
