AUTOMATIC AIR-CONDITIONING (3/4)
Adjusting the ventilation
speed
Turn the control 6 to one of the eight
positions to start the ventilation system
and adjust the power.
Position OFF
In this position:
– the air conditioning switches off au- tomatically;
– the ventilation speed of air in the passenger compartment is zero;
– there is, however, a slight flow of air when the vehicle is moving.
This position should not normally be
used.
Adjusting the distribution
of air in the passenger
compartment
Press one of the buttons 4 to select the
air distribution. The integrated warning
light in the button comes on.
It is possible to combine two positions
simultaneously – press both buttons 4.
ØThe air flow is distributed be-
tween demisting air vents of
the front side-window and the wind-
screen demisting vents.
½All the air flow is directed to the
dashboard vents.
¿The air flow is directed mainly
towards the footwells.

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
– the engine must be switched off;
– the traction battery charging level must be greater than 45%.
Activating the function
It is carried out by:
– a long press on the button 1 of the
card RENAULT (make sure you
are within the card's field of action -
please see the information on "Card
RENAULT : general information" in
Section 1);
– connected services.
Activating the function is visualised by
– constant illumination of the hazard warning lights and the side repeat-
ers for 3 seconds;
– the warning lights in the buttons
and AUTO on the air-condi-
tioning control are lit. Switching off the function
– automatically, after a period of ap-
proximately 5 minutes;
– upon starting the engine;
– if you press on the “automatic mode” controls, the “clear view” function,
the fan settings or quick access to
the “air-conditioning programming”
menu;
– if the energy taken exceeds 5% of the traction battery level.
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.
RISK OF DEATH OR SERIOUS
INJURY.
Advice: to optimize vehicle range,
use this function when the vehicle is
plugged in.

AIR IONIZER
Selecting the operating mode
Air conditioning in operation, on the dis-
play A, select “Menu”, “Vehicle”, “Care”
then “Ioniser ”.
Select one of the two modes or stop dif-
fusion:
– CLEAN : helps to reduce bacteria and allergenic particles present in
the air;
– RELAX: provides a clean and relax- ing driving environment by emitting
ions;
– Stop (stop diffusion).
Activating the ioniser in CLEAN
mode at each engine start-up
To activate CLEAN mode at each
engine start-up, check the line “Start
ioniser at each vehicle start” and con-
firm.
NB:
– if the fan control is set to position 0 (stop), activating the ioniser at each
engine start-up will automatically op-
erate the fan for at least around
10 seconds.
– if the air distribution setting does not feed air to the central air vents, the
ioniser is not activated.
Do not close the vents while the ion-
iser is activated. This enables a uni-
form distribution of ions.

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
switch 4. A confirmation message is
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.
ELECTRIC WINDOWS (1/2)
These systems operate with the igni-
tion on or off, until one of the front doors
is opened (limited to about 3 minutes).
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.
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.Electric windowsPress or pull the switch to raise or lower
a window to the desired height (the rear
windows do not open fully);
One-touch mode
(depending on vehicle)
This mode works in addition to the ope-
ration of the electric windows described
previously. It can be fitted to the driver’s
window.
Briefly press or pull the window switch
fully: the window is fully lowered or
raised. Pressing the switch again stops
the window moving.

TYRE PRESSURE KIT (3/3)
If a minimum pressure of 1.8 bar is
not reached after 15 minutes, repair
is not possible; do not drive the ve-
hicle but contact an approved dealer.
Once the tyre is correctly inflated,
remove the kit: slowly unscrew the in-
flation adapter 1 to prevent any repair
product from escaping and store the
container in plastic packaging to pre-
vent the product from escaping.
– Affix the driving recommendation label to the dashboard where it can
easily be seen by the driver;
– Put the kit away.
– At the end of this initial inflation op- eration, air will still escape from the
tyre. You must drive a short distance
in order to seal the hole.
– Start immediately and drive at between 12 and 40 mph (20 and
60 km/h) in order to distribute the
product evenly in the tyre and, after
driving for 2 miles (3 km), stop and
check the pressure.
– If the pressure is greater than 1.3 bar but less than the recom-
mended pressure (refer to the label
affixed to the edge of the driver’s
door), readjust it. Otherwise, please
contact an authorised dealer: the
tyre cannot be repaired.Precautions when using the
kit
The kit should not be operated for more
than 15 consecutive minutes.
Nothing should be placed
around the driver’s feet
as such objects may slide
under the pedals during
sudden braking manoeuvres and
obstruct their use.
1
Please be aware that a
poorly tightened or miss-
ing valve cap can make the
tyres less airtight and may
lead to pressure loss.
Always use valve caps identical to
those fitted originally and tighten
them fully.
Following repair with the kit,
do not travel further than
120 miles (200 km). In addi-
tion, reduce your speed and
under no circumstances exceed
48 mph (80 km/h). The sticker,
which you must affix in a prominent
position on the dashboard, reminds
you of this.
Depending on the country or local
legislation, a tyre repaired with the
inflation kit may need to be replaced.

Once you have finished towing, press
the engine start button twice (risk of
running down the 12 V battery).
If the lever is stuck in P, even though
you are depressing the brake pedal, the
lever can be released manually.
To do this, unclip the cover at the base
of the lever.
Simultaneously press at the location 7
and the unlocking button 6 on the lever.
