2016 RENAULT TALISMAN Start

3.2
MULTI-SENSE (1/2)
The Multi-Sense system acts, depend-
ing on the mode selected and depend-
ing on the vehicle, on the drive, the
light environment, the comfort and the
engine noise:
– modes Comfort , Neutral, Eco and Sport are preset and associated with
customisable light environments and
engine noise;
– mode Perso is fully customisable.
The drive modes affect the:
– power-assisted steering;
– the adaptive suspension:
– the four-wheel drive:
– engine and gearbox responsiveness;
– heating level.
They also affect the:
– the light environment and the instru- ment panel lighting;
– instrument panel and multifunction screen information;
– engine noise;
– massage seat.
After each start-up, the vehicle uses the
mode set at the time the engine was
last switched off.
Mode Comfort
This mode favours smooth steering.
The interior environment is softened.
Depending on the vehicle, the seat
massage function is activated.
Mode Neutral
Default mode, mode Neutral selects the
vehicle factory settings.
Mode Eco
Mode Eco is geared towards saving
energy and the environment. The
steering is smooth, engine and gearbox
management enable fuel consumption
to be lowered. Air conditioning is man-
aged to be used only when necessary.
Please refer to the information on
“Driving advice, Eco-driving” in
Section 2.
Note: for vehicles without ECOmode,
the Comfort mode becomes the most
suitable mode in terms of energy econ-
omy and respect for the environment.
Multi-Sense
Sport Eco
Neutral Comfort Perso
In all modes, it is possible to change
the colour of the ambient lighting as
well as the format of the information
displayed on the instrument panel
and multifunction display. You can
also reset to the default settings.
Please refer to the multimedia
equipment instructions.

Some buttons have a warning light

AAutomatic mode
The automatic climate control system
guarantees comfort in the passen-
ger compartment and good visibility
(except in the event of extreme condi-
tions), while optimising consumption.
The system controls the ventilation
speed, air distribution, air recirculation,
and starting and stopping the air condi-
tioning and air temperature.
This mode consists of a choice of three
programmes:
NORMAL : allows the selected comfort
level to be best attained, depending on
the exterior conditions. Press button 4
or key 9.
SOFT: reaches the desired comfort
level more gently and silently. Press
button 8.
FAST: increases the flow of air in the
passenger compartment. This mode
is recommended in particular to opti-
mise comfort in the rear seats. Press
button 10.

3.7
Varying the ventilation speed
In automatic mode, the system uses
the most suitable amount of air to reach
and maintain the desired comfort level.
You can still adjust the ventilation speed
by pressing buttons 11 or 18 or by slid-
ing your finger in zone 20.
Depending on the vehicle, the ventila-
tion speed, which is no longer control-
led automatically, appears in zone 20
and zone 14.
AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL: Controls A (2/5)
Temperature adjustment
There are two types of settings:
– uniform passenger compartment setting;
– DUAL function setting to independ- ently adjust the left and right sides.
Uniform passenger compartment
setting
Use control 7.
DUAL function setting
Press button 15 to activate. Use con-
trol 7 to adjust the left side and control 2
for the right side.
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.

AIR CONDITIONING: information and advice on use
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.
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.
Maintenance
Refer to the Maintenance Document
for your vehicle for the inspection fre-
quency.
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.
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.
Vehicles equipped with the
ECO mode: once activated, ECO
mode can reduce the perform-
ance of the automatic air condition-
ing. Please refer to the information
on “Driving advice, Eco-driving” in
Section 2.

3.17
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 (1/2)

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.
Safety of rear occupants
The driver can disable operation of the rear electric windows by pressin\
g
switch 4. A confirmation 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.
