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.
AIR CONDITIONING: information and advice on use
Do not open the refriger-
ant fluid circuit.  The fluid 
may damage eyes or skin.
Fuel consumption
You will normally notice an increase in 
fuel consumption (especially in town) 
when the air conditioning is operating.
For vehicles fitted with air conditioning 
with no automatic mode, switch off the 
system when it is not required.
Advice for reducing consumption 
and helping to preserve the environ-
ment
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.
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.
Maintenance
Refer to the Maintenance Document 
for your vehicle for the inspection fre-
quency.
Do not add anything to the 
vehicle’s ventilation circuit 
(for example, to remove 
bad odours).
There is a risk of damage or of 
fire.

ELECTRIC WINDOWS (1/2)

Electric windows
These systems operate:
–  with the engine running;
–  with the ignition off until one of the front doors is opened (limited to ap-
proximately 12 minutes).
– with the engine off, front doors  closed, after pressing the start 
button.
Press the window switch down or pull it 
up to lower or raise the window to the 
desired height: the rear windows do not 
open fully.
Passenger safety
The driver can prevent the front and rear passenger electric windows 
from operating (and the driver’s window) by pressing switch  4. A  confir-
mation message is displayed on the instrument panel.
Driver’s responsibility
Never leave your vehicle with the RENAULT card or key inside, and never leave 
a child, adult who is not self-sufficient or a pet, even for a short while. They may 
pose a risk to themselves or to others by starting the engine or activat\
ing equip-
ment (such as the gear lever or electric windows). If any part of the \
body becomes 
trapped, reverse the direction of the window immediately by pressing the\
 relevant 
switch.
Risk of serious injury.
Avoid resting any objects against 
a half-open window: there is a risk 
that the electric window could be 
damaged.
From the driver’s seat, use switch:
  1  for the driver’s side;
  2  for the front passenger side;
  3 and   5 for the rear passenger win-
dows.
From the passenger seats, use 
switch 6.

ELECTRIC WINDOWS (2/2)
Operating faults
In case of a fault when closing a 
window, the system reverts to normal 
mode: pull the switch as many times as 
necessary until the window closes com-
pletely, hold the switch (still on the clo-
sing side) for around one second, then 
completely lower then raise the window 
to reset the system.
If necessary, contact an approved 
Dealer.
When closing the windows, 
ensure that no part of the 
body (arm, hand, etc.) is 
protruding from the vehicle.
Risk of serious injury.
One-touch mode
This mode works in addition to the ope-
ration of the electric windows described 
previously.
Briefly press or pull the window switch 
fully: the window is fully lowered or 
raised. Pressing the switch again stops 
the window moving.
Note: if the window detects resistance 
when closing (e.g.: branch of a tree, 
etc.) it stops and then lowers again by a 
few centimetres.
Remote control window closing
(vehicles with 4 one-touch electric win-
dows).
When you lock the doors from the out-
side,  press the locking button on the   
RENAULTcard twice in quick suc-
cession, or on the driver’s door  in 
hands-free mode, and all the windows 
will close automatically (and, depend-
ing on the vehicle, the sunroof).
It is recommended that the user only 
operates the system when the vehi-
cle can be seen clearly and no one is 
inside.

4Driver’s responsibility
Never leave your vehicle 
with the RENAULT card 
inside, and never leave a 
child who is not self-sufficient or a 
pet, even for a short while.
The reason for this is that the child 
may endanger himself or others by 
starting the engine, activating equip-
ment such as the window winders 
for example, or locking the doors.
If something gets trapped, reverse   
the direction of travel as soon as   
possible by turning button  4 fully to  
the right (position  D).
Risk of serious injury.

3.24
ELECTRIC SUNROOF (2/3)
Special features
Your vehicle is fitted with an anti-pinch 
facility: when the sunroof encounters 
resistance whilst closing (branch of 
a tree, etc.), it stops and then moves 
back a few centimetres.
After closing the sunroof by remote 
control, pressing button 4  allows the 
sunroof to return to its previous posi-
tion.
Closing the sunroof by 
remote control
If you press the locking button on 
the   card twice in quick succession 
RENAULT,, the windows and the elec-
tric sunroof will close automatically.
It is recommended that the user only 
operates the system when the vehi-
cle can be seen clearly and no one is 
inside.
If the vehicle is equipped 
with this function, this action 
will activate deadlocking. 
Refer to the information on 
“RENAULT card: deadlocking” or 
“Radiofrequency remote control: 
deadlocking” in section 1.
Check that there is no-one still 
inside the vehicle

Precautions during use
–  Vehicle with loaded roof bars.As a general rule, if there is a load 
on the roof, use of the sunroof is not 
recommended.
Before using the sunroof, check the 
objects and/or accessories (bike 
racks, roof boxes, etc.) attached to 
the roof bars: they should be prop-
erly arranged and secured and 
should not interfere with the opera-
tion of the sunroof.
Contact an approved dealer for de-
tails of possible conversions;
–  check  that the sunroof is properly 
closed before leaving your vehicle;
– clean the seal every three months  using products recommended by our 
Technical Department;
–  do not open  the sunroof immedi-
ately after it has rained or immedi-
ately after washing the vehicle.
Operating faults
If the sunroof will not close, move the 
marked position  3 to position 0  then 
press button 4 until the sunroof is com-
pletely closed: consult an approved 
dealer.

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.
A
– 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 
(approximately 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.
