This driver’s handbook contains the information necessary:
– for you to familiarise yourself with your vehicle, to use it to its best advantage and to benefit fully from the all the functions and
the technical developments it incorporates.
– to ensure that it always gives the best performance by following the simple, but comprehensive advice concerning regular main-
tenance.
– to enable you to deal quickly with minor faults not requiring specialist attention.
It is well worth taking a few minutes to read this handbook to familiarise yourself with the information and guidelines it contains
about the vehicle and its functions and new features. If certain points are still unclear, our Network technicians will be only too
pleased to provide you with any additional information.
The following symbol will help you when reading this handbook:
Welcome to your new electric vehicle
The descriptions of the models given in this handbook are based on the technical specifications at the time of writing. This hand-
book covers all items of equipment (both standard and optional) available for these models but whether or not these are
fitted to the vehicle depends on the version, options selected and the c\
ountry where the vehicle is sold.
This handbook may also contain information about items of equipment to b\
e introduced later in the model year.
Throughout the manual, the “approved Dealer” is your RENAULT Dealer. To indicate a hazard, danger or safety recommendation.
Enjoy driving your new vehicle.

heating levels
The use of heating or air-conditioning
reduces vehicle range.
Before using the vehicle, you are rec -
ommended to favour “programmable
heating” mode to help maintain the ve-
hicle’s optimum range (please refer to
the information on “Air-conditioning:
programming” in Section 3).
Keep your usage of heating or air-con-
ditioning down to a minimum while driv-
ing. Favour ECO mode - please see the
information on “Automatic air-condition -
ing” in Section 3.
t yres
An under-inflated tyre increases energy
consumption. Comply with the speci -
fied tyre pressures for your vehicle.
When driving, use tyres made by the
same manufacturer, with the same di -
mensions, type and structure as the
original tyres. The use of non-regula -
tion tyres significantly reduces vehicle
range.
Please see the information on “Tyre
pressure” in Section 4.
Vehicle loading
Avoid pointlessly overloading your ve -
hicle.

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.
Favour the use of automatic mode, selecting one of the automatic pro -
grammes Eco, AuT o or FAST.
In automatic mode (indicator light for button 3 on), all heating and air conditioning
functions are controlled by the system.
You can also change the system selection, in this case, indicator light for button 3
will go out and the changed function, which is no longer controlled by the system,
is shown on display 13.
To return to automatic mode, press one of programmes: Eco, AuTo or FAST.

AIR coNDITIoNINg: information and advice on use.
Do not open the refriger -
ant fluid circuit. The fluid
may damage eyes or skin.
Advice on use
In some situations, (air conditioning
off, air recirculation activated, ventila -
tion speed at zero or low, etc.) you may
notice that condensation starts to form
on the windows and windscreen.
If there is condensation, use the “clear
View” function to remove it, then use
the air conditioning in automatic mode
to stop it forming again. If the conden -
sation does not clear, use the FAST
programme.
Range
It is normal to notice an increase in
energy usage when the air conditioning
is operating.
Recommendations 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 Document
for your vehicle for the inspection fre -
quency.
operating faults
As a general rule, contact your ap -
proved dealer in the event of an oper-
ating fault.
– Reduction in de-icing, demisting
or air conditioning performance.
This may be caused by the passen-
ger compartment filter cartridge be -
coming clogged.
– No cold air is being produced.
Check that the controls are set cor-
rectly and that the fuses are sound.
Otherwise, switch off the system.
Presence of water under the
vehicle.
After prolonged use of the air condi -
tioning system, it is normal for water
to be present under the vehicle. This is
caused by condensation.

operating faults
In case of a fault when closing a window,
the system reverts to normal mode:
pull the switch concerned up as often
as necessary to fully close the window
(the window will close gradually), hold
the switch (still on the closure side) for
three seconds then lower and raise the
window fully to reinitialise the system.
If necessary, contact your approved
Dealer.
Closing windows can cause
serious injury.
usage precautions
Clean the seal every three months with
products selected by our Technical
Department.
