WARNING:
.The heater and air conditioner operate only
when the engine is running.
. Never leave children or adults who would
normally require the support of others alone
in the vehicle. Pets should not be left alone
either. They could unknowingly activate
switches or controls and inadvertently be-
come involved in a serious accident and
injure themselves. On hot, sunny days,
temperatures in a closed vehicle could
quickly become high enough to cause se-
vere or possibly fatal injuries to people or
animals.
. Do not use the recirculation mode for long
periods as it may cause the interior air to
become stale and the windows to fog up.
. Do not adjust the heating and air condition-
ing controls while driving so that full atten-
tion may be given to vehicle operation.
T\fe \feater and air conditioner operate \b\fen t\fe

NOTE:
. Odors from inside and outside the vehicle
can build up in the air conditioner unit. Odor
can enter the passenger compartment
through the vents.
. When parking, set the heater and air condi-
tioner controls to turn off air recirculation to
allow fresh air into the passenger compart-
ment. This should help reduce odors inside
the vehicle. For model with Idling Stop System (if equipped
for Thailand):
W\fen t\fe air conditioner or rear defogger (if equipped)
is turned on, t\fe Idling Stop System \bill not be
activated.
For model with Stop/Start System (if equipped
for Europe):
T\fe Stop/Start System \bill not stop t\fe engine under
t\fe follo\bing conditions:
.
T\fe front defogger mode is on. (automatic air
conditioner)
. T\fe air flo\b control dial is in t\fe front defogger
position. (manual air conditioner)
. T\fe rear \bindo\b defogger mode is on.
W\file t\fe engine is stopped by t\fe Stop/Start System,
taking one of t\fe follo\bing actions \bill automatically
start t\fe engine:
. Turn t\fe front defogger mode on. (automatic air
conditioner)
. Turn t\fe air flo\b control dial to t\fe front defogger
position. (manual air conditioner)
. Turn t\fe rear \bindo\b defogger mode on.
W\fen t\fe engine is stopped by t\fe Stop/Start System,
performance of t\fe \feater and air conditioner may be
reduced to minimize t\fe fuel consumption. For t\fe best
\feating and air conditioning performance, restart t\fe
engine by pus\fing t\fe Stop/Start System OFF s\bitc\f.

SERVICING AIR CON\bITIONER
WARNING:
The air conditioner system contains refrigerant
under high pressure. To avoid personal injury,
any air conditioner service should be done only
by an experienced technician with the proper
equipment.
The air conditioner system in your vehicle is charged
with a refrigerant designed with the environment in
mind.
This refrigerant will not harm the earth’s ozone
layer. However, it may contri\fute in a small part to
glo\fal warming.
Special charging equipment and lu\fricant are required
when servicing your vehicle’s air conditioner. Using
improper refrigerants or lu\fricants will cause severe
damage to the air conditioner system. (See “Air
conditioner system refrigerant and lu\fricant” (P.9-4) .)
A RENAULT dealer will \fe a\fle to service your
environmentally friendly air conditioner system.
