Switching air conditioning on
or off
The air conditioning is switched on (in-
dicator light on) or off (indicator light off)
using button 3.
The air conditioning system is used
for:
– lowering the temperature inside the
passenger compartment;
– eliminating condensation more quickly.
Distribution of air in the
passenger compartment
There are five air distribution options.
Turn control 4 to choose the distribution
option.
WThe air flow is directed to the
windscreen and the front side
window demisting vents.
iThe air flow is distributed be-
tween all the air vents, the
front side window demisting vents, the
windscreen demisting vents and the
footwells.
óThe air flow is directed mainly
towards the footwells.
GThe air flow is directed towards
the dashboard vents and the
footwells.
JAll the air flow is directed to the
dashboard vents.

Adjusting the ventilation
speed
Turn control 2 clockwise to increase the
air flow in the passenger compartment.
The passenger compartment is ven-
tilated by blown air. The blower deter-
mines how much air enters but vehicle
speed has a slight effect on this.
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.
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. “OFF" position:
the system is deactivated: the ventila-
tion speed for the passenger compart-
ment air 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 windows and
the windscreen.
MANUAL AIR CONDITIONING (2/2)
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 6 again.
The de-icing function cannot be used with the air recirculation mode to \
avoid any risk of condensation forming on the wind-
screen and triggers the air conditioning and the integrated indicator li\
ght 3 to come on.

You can still adjust the fan speed by
pressing the buttons 13 to increase or
reduce the fan speed.
In this case, the fan speed, which is
no longer controlled automatically, ap-
pears in zone A on the display 12.
Some buttons have an operating
tell-tale which indicates the operat-
ing status.

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.

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-

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.

3.18
These systems operate with the igni-
tion on or off, until one of the front doors
is opened (limited to about 3 minutes).
Electric windowsPress the window switch down or pull it
up to lower or raise the window to the
desired height.
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;
4 for all the windows.
From the front passenger seat, move
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 WINDOWS (1/2)
One-touch mode
Depending on the vehicle, this mode
works in addition to the operation of the
electric windows described previously.
Briefly press or pull the window switch
fully: the window lowers fully (all win-
dows) or rises (front windows only).
Pressing the switch again stops the
window moving.

Driver’s responsibility
Never leave your vehicle
with the RENAULT card
inside and never leave a
child (or a pet) unsupervised, even
for a short while. They may pose
a risk to themselves or to others
by starting the engine, activating
equipment such as the electric win-
dows or by locking the doors. If any
part of the body becomes trapped,
reverse the direction of the window
immediately by pressing the rele-
vant switch.
Risk of serious injury.
Avoid resting any objects against a
half-open window: there is a risk that
the electric window winder could be
damaged.
