Transmission int grale : 4 roues motrices : 4WD (X45 - H45 - Renault) ENG_NU_1057-1_H45_Ph3_Renault_2
ALL-WHEEL DRIVE SYSTEM: 4 wheel drive (4WD) (2/3)
Special note on all-wheel
drive system
– The vehicle may make more
noise when the “AUTO” or “4WD
Lock” modes are activated. This
is normal;
– if the system detects a difference
in the size of the front and rear
wheels (as is the case, for exam-
ple, when the wrong size tyres
are fitted, or if the tyres are un-
der-inflated or significantly worn
on one axle etc.) the message
“4WD not available” is displayed
on the instrument panel and the
indicator light
‘ flashes.
Select “2WD” mode and drive at
a moderate speed;
– always use four tyres with the
same level of wear;
– as soon as the vehicle speed ex-
ceeds 24 mph (40 km/h) in “4WD
Lock” mode, the system automat-
ically switches back to “AUTO”
mode. The indicator light goes
out;
– when the front and rear wheels
are turning at different speeds
(for example, when driving on
uneven road surfaces, sand or
mud, or when being towed, tyres
with different levels of wear), the
oil temperature may rise, given
the mechanical stresses. In this
case, the system automatically
switches back to “2WD” mode to
prevent overheating. The mes-
sage “4WD not available” is
displayed on the instrument
panel and the
‘ or ’
indicator light comes on. Park
the vehicle in a safe place and
wait until the message “4WD not
available” disappears.
If the warning appears again,
contact an approved Dealer.
Operating faults
When the system detects an operating
fault the message “Check 4WD” and
warning light
© appear on the in-
strument panel.
Contact your approved Dealer as soon
as possible.

MANUAL AIR CONDITIONING, HEATING SYSTEM (1/3)
Controls(depending on vehicle)
A – Adjusting the air temperature.
B – Air recirculation activation/deactiva-
tion.
C – Adjusting the ventilation speed.
D – Rear screen and door mirror de-ic-
ing/demisting control.
E – Air distribution control.
F – Air conditioning operation control
and indicator light.Temperature adjustment
Turn the control A according to the
required temperature. The further to-
wards the red the slide is, the higher the
temperature will be.
Air recirculation mode
Press the button B: the indicator light
on the button comes on.
In these conditions air is taken from the
passenger compartment and is recircu-
lated, with no air being taken from out-
side the vehicle.
Recirculation allows:
– isolating the vehicle from the exter-
nal atmosphere (driving in polluted
areas, etc.);
– the passenger compartment to be
brought to the desired temperature
more quickly.ABCDE
F
Information and advice for use:
Refer to information on “Air condi-
tioning: information and advice on
use”.
Prolonged use of air recirculation
can lead to condensation form-
ing on the side windows and wind-
screen, and discomfort due to the
use of non-renewed air in the pas-
senger 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 B again.

speed
Normal use
Turn control C to one of the four posi-
tions to start the ventilation system and
adjust the power.
Select position 1 for minimum ventila-
tion and position 4 for maximum ven-
tilation.Position 0

– you will, however, feel a slight flow of
air when the vehicle is moving.
Switching air conditioning on
or off
The air conditioning is switched on (in-
dicator light illuminated) or off (indicator
light extinguished) using button F.
The air conditioning system is used
for:
– lowering the temperature inside the
passenger compartment;
– quickly eliminating humidity.
The air conditioning does not operate
when the exterior temperature is low.
When the air conditioning system is
used for long periods, it may begin to
feel cold.
If it does, increase the temperature
(turn control A clockwise).

WIPER BLADES
Check the condition of the wiper
blades. You are responsible for their
service life:
– clean the blades, windscreen and
rear screen regularly with soapy
water;
– do not use them when the wind-
screen or rear screen are dry;
– free them from the windscreen or
rear screen when they have not
been used for a long time.
In frosty weather, make
sure that the wiper blades
are not stuck by ice (to
avoid the risk of the motor
overheating).
Check the condition of the wiper
blades.
Replace the wiper blades as soon
as they begin to lose efficiency (ap-
proximately once a year).
Whilst changing the blade, take care
not to drop the arm onto the window
after it has been removed as this
may break the window.
Replacing windscreen wiper
blades 1
With the ignition on and engine
switched off, lower the windscreen
wiper stalk completely: they stop
slightly away from the bonnet. Lift the
wiper arm 3, pinch the tabs 2, gently
pull upwards (movement A) then push
the blade upwards (movement B).
Refitting
Slide the blade along the arm until
it clips on. Check that it is correctly
locked. Return the windscreen wiper
stalk to the park position.
