2016 RENAULT TRAFIC Control

3.12
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.
Advice for reducing consumption
and helping to preserve the environ-
ment
Switch off the system when it is not re-
quired.
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.
Vehicles fitted with an
auxiliary heater
Some vehicles are fitted with an auxil-
iary heater which heats the passenger
compartment more quickly.
This device operates only when the
engine is running and in cold weather.
When the device is functioning you
can normally see a small amount of
smoke on the right-hand side of the ve-
hicle coming from the heater’s exhaust
system.
Advice on useIn 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.
MaintenanceRefer 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.
Fuel consumption increases when
the air conditioning is being used
(switch it off when it is not required).

3.13
ADDITIONAL AIR CONDITIONING
On equipped vehicles, there are four
adjustable air vents and controls 1.
These controls only affect the amount
of air blown into the passenger com-
partment:
– one control for hot (air comes from lower vents);
– one control for cold (air comes from upper vents).
Note: avoid closing the four air vents
at the same time (risk of damaging the
system components).Heating and air conditioning
system
Make sure that the air conditioning is
operational (warning light on button 2
lit up).

slide under the pedal during
braking manoeuvres, thus obstruc-
ting its use.

TYRE PRESSURE (1/2)
A
For your safety, please re-
spect the speed limit.
When they need to be re-
placed, only tyres of the
same make, size, type and profile
should be used on a single axle.
They must: either have a load ca-
pacity and speed rating at least
equal to those of the original
tyres, or conform to those recom-
mended by an authorised dealer.
Failure to heed these instructions
could endanger your safety and
affect your vehicle’s roadworthi-
ness.
Risk of loss of control of the ve-
hicle.
Label A
Open the driver’s door to read it.
Tyre pressures should be checked
when the tyres are cold.
If the tyre pressures cannot be checked
when the tyres are cold, increase the
pressures from 0.2 to 0.3 bar (or 3 PSI).
Never deflate a hot tyre. Vehicle fitted with a tyre pressure
loss warning system
If underinflated (puncture, low pres-
sure, etc.), the warning light
 on
the instrument panel comes on, see
“Tyre pressure loss warning system” in
Section 2.
