Deactivating the air-
conditioning
The button 5 stops (warning light on)
the operation of the air-conditioning.
To activate the air-conditioning, press
the button 1 . The integrated warning
light in the button 5 will go out.
The air conditioning system is used
for:
– lowering the temperature inside the passenger compartment;
– eliminating condensation more quickly.
The air conditioning does not operate
when the exterior temperature is low.

AUTOMATIC AIR-CONDITIONING (2/4)
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.
Preferably, use automatic mode.
In automatic mode (the button’s
warning light 1 is lit), all heating and
air-conditioning functions are con-
trolled by the system.
You can always modify the choice
of system; in this case, the warning
light in the button 1 goes out.
Advice: to optimize vehicle range, de-
activate the air conditioning when the
outside temperature is comfortable.
Clear View function
Press button 3 – the integrated indica-
tor light comes on.
This system quickly demists and de-
ices the windscreen and the front side
windows. It requires the automatic
usage of the air-conditioning or the
heating.
To exit this function, press the button
marked 3.

Depending on the vehicle, the system
determines whether or not air recircula-
tion is used, based on the quality of the
outside air.
The air quality is confirmed by the ap-
pearance of one of the following warn-
ing lights on the multimedia display (for
the cleanest and the least clean air re-
spectively):

AUTOMATIC AIR-CONDITIONING (4/4)
Air recirculation (isolation of
the passenger compartment)
K
This function is managed automatically
but you can also activate it manually. In
this case, the operation is confirmed by
a warning light on the button 8. NB:
– 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.);
– the recirculation of air makes it pos- sible to reach the desired passenger
compartment temperature quicker.
Manual use
Press button 8 – the integrated indica-
tor light comes on.
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 air recircula-
tion is no longer needed, by pressing
button 8.
Stopping the function manually
Press the button 8 to stop the function.
Air recirculation is then automatic.

The demisting/de-icing will still take
priority over the air recirculation.

AIR CONDITIONING: remote activation
The air-conditioning can be activated
using the card RENAULT or by the con-
nected services.
This function enables you to bring your
vehicle to a comfortable temperature
before using it.
1
Operating condition

Driver’s responsibility
when parking or stopping
the vehicle
Never leave an animal,
child or adult who is not self-suffi-
cient alone on your vehicle, even for
a short time.
In hot and/or sunny weather, please
remember that the temperature
inside the passenger compartment
increases very quickly.

Adjusting the programming
With the vehicle connected to a power
source, this function enables:
– a comfortable temperature prior to using the vehicle;

The secondary battery is a 12 V battery:
this supplies the energy required to op-
erate vehicle equipment (lights, wind-
screen wipers, audio system, etc) and
certain safety systems, such as ABS.
You should not open it or add any
fluid.
SECONDARY 12 V BATTERY (1/2)
1
When working in the engine
compartment, certain parts
may be hot. In addition,
the engine cooling fan can
come on at any moment.
Risk of burns or serious injury.
Do not do any work under
the bonnet when the vehicle
is charging or when the igni-
tion is switched on.
For your own safety and for
the proper operation of the
vehicle’s electrical equip-
ment (lights, windscreen
wipers, ABS, etc.), any interven-
tion on the secondary 12 V battery
(removal, disconnection, etc.) must
categorically be performed by a
specialist professional.
Risk of serious burns or electric
shocks.
Respect categorically the replace-
ment intervals (without exceeding
them) as stated in the maintenance
document.
The battery is a specific type.
Please ensure it is replaced with the
same type.
Contact an Authorised Dealer.
Maintenance/replacementThe charge status of the 12 volt bat-
tery 1 can decrease, especially if you
use your vehicle:
– when the outside temperature drops;
– after extended use of energy-con- suming devices with the engine
switched off.

BODYWORK MAINTENANCE (1/2)
What you should not doDo not degrease or clean mechani-
cal components (e.g. the engine com-
partment), underneath the body, parts
with hinges (e.g. inside the doors) and
painted plastic external fittings (e.g.
bumpers) using high-pressure clean-
ing equipment or by spraying on prod-
ucts not approved by our Technical
Department. Doing this could give rise
to corrosion or operational faults.
Wash the vehicle in bright sunlight or
freezing temperatures.
Do not scrape off mud or dirt without
pre-wetting.
Allow dirt to accumulate on the exterior.
Allow rust to form following minor im-
pacts.
Do not use solvents not approved by
our Technical Department to remove
stains as this could damage the paint-
work.
Do not drive in snow or muddy condi-
tions without washing the vehicle, par-
ticularly under the wheel arches and
body.
A well-maintained vehicle will last
longer. It is therefore recommended to
maintain the exterior of the vehicle reg-
ularly.
Your vehicle has been treated with very
effective anti-corrosion products. It is
nevertheless subject to various outside
influences.
Corrosive agents in the atmosphere
–
atmospheric pollution (built-up and
industrial areas),
– saline atmospheres (near the sea,
particularly in hot weather),
– seasonal and damp weather condi-
tions (e.g. road salt in winter, water
from road cleaners, etc.).
Minor impacts
Abrasive action
Dust and sand in the air, mud, road grit
thrown up by other vehicles, etc.
You should take a number of minor pre-
cautions in order to safeguard your ve-
hicle against such risks.You should
Wash your car frequently, with the
engine off , with cleaning products rec-
ommended by the manufacturer (never
use abrasive products). Rinse thor-
oughly beforehand with a jet:
– spots of tree resin and industrial
grime;
– mud in the wheel arches and under-
neath the body which forms damp
patches;
– bird droppings , which cause a
chemical reaction with the paint that
rapidly discolours paintwork and
may even cause the paint to peel
off;
wash the vehicle immediately to
remove these marks since it is im-
possible to remove them by polish-
ing;
– salt, particularly in the wheel arches
and underneath the body after driv-
ing in areas where the roads have
been gritted.
Withdraw the vegetable falls (resin, film
etc.) from the vehicle regularly.
