Adjusting the ventilation
speed
Turn control 2 clockwise to increase the
air flow in the passenger compartment.
Passenger compartment ventilation
is referred to as “blown air”. The ven-
tilation fan determines the air flow.
However, it is also affected by the ve-
hicle speed.
“OFF" position:
The system is deactivated: the ventila-
tion speed is zero (vehicle stationary).
You can, however, still feel a slight flow
of air when the vehicle is moving.
Recommended demisting option:
Turn controls 1, 2 and 4 to the
W
position. This is the quickest option for
de-icing and demisting the side win-
dows and the windscreen.
Switching the air
recirculation on
Press button 6: the integrated indicator
light comes on.
Under these conditions, air is taken
from the passenger compartment and
is recirculated, with no air being taken
from outside the vehicle.

Positions W and i disable
the air recirculation function to avoid
any risk of condensation forming on
the windscreen, and trigger the air
conditioning and integrated indica-
tor light 3 to come on.
Air recirculation is for:
– isolating the vehicle from the exter- nal atmosphere (driving in polluted
areas, etc.);
– lowering the passenger compart- ment temperature as quickly as pos-
sible.
Prolonged use of air recirculation can lead to condensation forming on t\
he side
windows and windscreen, and discomfort due to the use of non-renewed air\
in
the passenger compartment.
We therefore advise you to return to normal mode (external air) as soon\
as the air
recirculation function is no longer required, by pressing the button 6 again.

3.6
AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL (1/5)Automatic mode
The automatic climate control system
guarantees comfort in the passen-
ger compartment and good visibility
(except in the event of extreme condi-
tions), whilst optimising consumption.
The system controls the ventilation
speed, air distribution, air recircula-
tion, and starting and stopping the air
conditioning and air temperature. This
mode consists of a choice of three pro-
grammes:
AUTO: allows the selected comfort
level to be best attained, depending on
the exterior conditions. Press button 3.
SOFT: gently brings the temperature to
the desired comfort level. The comfort
level is then maintained gently and si-
lently. Press button 2.
FAST: increases the operation of the
system to reach the desired comfort
level more quickly. Use this programme
when you have passengers in the rear.
Press button 4.

ices the windscreen, the rear screen,
the front side windows, and the door
mirrors (depending on the vehicle). The
air conditioning and rear screen de-ic-
ing functions must be activated.
Press button 9 to stop the heated rear
screen operating; the integrated indica-
tor goes out.
You can change the fan speed: press
the button 13.

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.
You are recommended to use automatic mode by selecting one of the auto-
matic programmes AUTO, SOFT 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, the indicator lig\
ht on the
button 3 will go out and the changed function, which is no longer controlled by \
the
system, will be shown on the display 12.
To return to automatic mode, press one of the AUTO, SOFT or FAST programmes.
AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL (3/5)
Switching air conditioning on
or off
In automatic mode, the system switches
the air conditioning system on or off,
depending on the climate conditions.
Press the switch 8 to switch off the air conditioning; the integrated indicator
comes on and “AC OFF” is shown on
the display 12.

Rear screen de-icing/
demisting
Press button 9: the integrated indica-
tor light comes on. This function per-
mits rapid demisting/de-icing of the rear
screen and de-icing of the door mirrors
(on equipped vehicles).
To exit this function, press button 9
again. Demisting automatically stops
by default.
ØThe air flow is directed to the
windscreen and the front side
window demisting vents.
×The air flow is distributed be-
tween front side window de-
misting vents, the windscreen demist-
ing vents and the footwells.
¿The air flow is directed mainly
towards the footwells.
¾The air flow is directed towards
the dashboard vents and the
footwells.
½All the air flow is directed to the
dashboard vents.
In this situation, the distribution of air in
the passenger compartment, which is
no longer automatically controlled, ap-
pears on the display.9
Adjusting the distribution
of air in the passenger
compartment
There are five air distribution options.
Press the switch 5 to scroll through
them. The arrows located in zone B on
the display 12 combine to show you the
distribution selected:

Manual use
Pressing button 11 allows air recircula-
tion to be forced, in which case the in-
tegrated warning light comes on as well
as warning light 14.
Prolonged use of this position may lead
to odours, caused by non-renewal of
air, and the formation of condensation
on the windows.
We therefore advise you to return to au-
tomatic mode as soon as the air recir-
culation function is no longer required,
by pressing button 11 again.Stopping the system
Press the button 7 to switch off the
system; in this case “OFF” is shown on
the display 12. To switch the system on,
press one of switches 2, 3 or 4.
Recycling
This function is managed automati-
cally (operation is confirmed by warn-
ing light 14 on display 12), but you can
also activate it manually.
Note:
– during recirculation, air is taken from the passenger compartment and
is recycled, with no air being taken
from outside the vehicle;
– air recirculation allows the external atmosphere to be cut off (when driv-
ing in polluted areas, etc.);
– lowering the passenger compart- ment temperature as quickly as pos-
sible.
AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL (5/5)
The demisting/de-icing will still take
priority over the air recirculation.

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 Document
for your vehicle for the inspection
frequency.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.
Advice on use
In some situations, (air conditioning
off, air recirculation activated, venti-
lation speed at zero or low, etc.) you
may notice that condensation starts
to form on the windows and wind-
screen.
If there is condensation, use the
“Clear View” function to remove it,
then use the air conditioning in auto-
matic mode to stop it forming again.
If the condensation does not clear,
use the FAST programme.
Do not open the refriger-
ant fluid circuit. The fluid
may damage eyes or skin.
Note
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.

These systems operate with the igni-
tion on or off, until one of the front doors
is opened (limited to about 3 minutes).
From the driver’s seat, use switch:
1 for the driver’s side;
2 for the front passenger’s side;
3 and 5 for the rear passenger win-
dows.
From the passenger seats, use
switch 6.
Note: if the window detects resistance
when closing (e.g.: fingers, branch of
a tree, etc.) it stops and then lowers
again by a few centimetres.
Electric windowsPress or pull the switch to raise or lower
a window to the desired height (the rear
windows do not open fully);
One-touch mode
This mode works in addition to the
operation of the electric windows de-
scribed previously.
Briefly press or pull the window switch
fully: the window is fully lowered or
raised. Pressing the switch again stops
the window moving.
Avoid resting any objects against a
half-open window: there is a risk that
the electric window winder could be
damaged.
Safety of rear occupants
The driver can disable op-
eration of the electric win-
dows and, depending on
the vehicle, the rear doors, by
pressing switch 4. The indicator
light integrated in the switch lights
up to confirm that the locks have
been activated.
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. They
may pose a risk to themselves or to
others by starting the engine, acti-
vating equipment such as the elec-
tric windows or by locking the doors.
If any part of the body becomes
trapped, reverse the direction of the
window immediately by pressing the
relevant switch.
Risk of serious injury.
