AIR CONDITIONING: information and advice on use
Do not open the refriger-
ant fluid circuit. The fluid
may damage eyes or skin.
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.
Range
It is normal to notice an increase in
energy usage when the air conditioning
is operating.
Recommendations to limit energy
consumption and maintain the
range of the vehicle:
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.
Favour:
– before departure, the use of the air- conditioning programming or remote
activation. Please refer to the infor-
mation on “Air-conditioning: pro-
gramming” and “Air-conditioning:
remote activation” in Section 2);
– during your journeys, using ECO mode. Please see information about
“ECO mode function” in Section 2.
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 hot or cold air is being pro-
duced. Check that the controls are
set correctly 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.

Safety of rear occupants
The driver can prevent
operation of the rear elec-
tric windows by pressing

displayed on the instrument panel.
Driver’s responsibility
Never leave your vehicle with the
RENAULT card 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 activating equipment
(such as the gear lever or electric
windows). If any part of the body be-
comes trapped, reverse the direc-
tion of the window immediately by
pressing the relevant switch.
Risk of serious injury.
