The air conditioner system contains refrigerant
under high pressure. To avoid personal injury,
any air conditioner service should be done only
by an experienced technician with the proper
equipment.
The air conditioner system in your vehicle is charged
with arefrigerant designed with the environment in
mind. This refrigerant will not harm the earth’s ozone
layer. However, it may contribute in asmall part to
global warming.
Special charging equipment and lubricant are re-
quired when servicing your vehicle’s air conditioner.
Using improper refrigerants or lubricants will cause
severe damage to the air conditioner system. (See
“Recommended fluids/lubricants and capacities” in
the “9. Technical information” section.)
An approved dealer or qualified workshop will be
able to service your environmentally friendly air con-
ditioner system.

Compact Disc (CD)/USB device with
MP3/WMA/AAC (where fitted)
Terms:
• MP3
—MP3 is short for Moving Pictures Ex-
perts Group Audio Layer 3. MP3 is the most well
known compressed digital audio file format. This
format allows for near “CD quality” sound, but at
af raction of the size of normal audio files. MP3
conversion of an audio track from CD can re-
duce the file size by approximately 10:1 ratio
(Sampling: 44.1 kHz, Bit rate: 128 kbps) with
virtually no perceptible loss in quality. MP3 com- pression removes the redundant and irrelevant
parts of
asound signal that the human ear
doesn’t hear.
• WMA
—Windows Media Audio (WMA) is a
compressed audio format created by Microsoft
as an alternative to MP3. The WMA codec offers
greater file compression than the MP3 codec,
enabling storage of more digital audio tracks in
the same amount of space when compared to
MP3s at the same level of quality.
• AAC (where fitted)
—Advanced Audio Coding
(AAC) is acompressed audio format. AAC of-
fers greater file compression than MP3 and en-
ables music file creation and storage at the same
quality as MP3.
• Bit rate
—Bit rate denotes the number of bits
per second used by adigital music files. The size
and quality of acompressed digital audio file is
determined by the bit rate used when encoding
the file.
• Sampling frequency
—Sampling frequency is
the rate at which the samples of asignal are con-
verted from analog to digital (A/D conversion)
per second.
• Multisession
—Multisession is one of the meth-
ods for writing data to media. Writing data once
to the media is called asingle session, and writ-
ing more than once is called amultisession.

AUX (Auxiliary) INPUT JACK
The AUX input jack is located on the lower part of
the instrument panel. Compatible audio devices,
such as some MP3 players, can be connected to
the system through the AUX input jack. Before connecting adevice to ajack, turn off the
power of the portable device.
With acompatible device connected to the jack,
push the corresponding button (depends on the au-
dio system) repeatedly until the display switches to
the AUX mode.
RENAULT strongly recommends using astereo mini
plug cable when connecting your music device to
the audio system. Music may not play properly when
am onaural cable is used. CD/USB MEMORY CARE AND

DAB and Radio Data System (RDS)
operation (where fitted)
The RDS is asystem through which encoded digital
information is transmitted by FM radio stations in
addition to the normal FM radio broadcasting. The
RDS provides information services such as station
name, traffic information, or news.
DAB (Digital Audio Broadcast) NOTE
• When in DR mode operation is similar to FM
mode but may slightly differ.
• In some countries or regions, some of these
services may not be available.
Alternative Frequency (AF) mode:
The AF mode operates in the FM (radio) mode.
• The AF mode operates in the FM (radio), AUX or
CD mode (if FM was previously selected in the
radio mode).
• The AF function compares signal strengths and
selects the station with the optimum reception
conditions for the currently tuned-in station.
DAB and RDS functions

–F M:
When an RDS station is tuned in with seek or
manual tuning, the RDS data is received and the
PS name is displayed.
–D R:
When astation is tuned in with seek or manual
tuning, the data is received and the PS name is
displayed.
