programming menu on display A;
– select “Change” on one of the two set times;
– adjust the hours then the minutes, then confirm. The function is triggered one hour prior
to the programmed time to reach a

warning light
 on the instrument
panel are lit up.
“Programme” activation

air-conditioning operating (please
refer to the information on “Automatic
air-conditioning” in Section 3);
– select the programme to be acti- vated from menu “Comfort timer“;
– make sure one of the programmes is confirmed.

3.14
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.

3.16
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.

Avoid resting any objects against
a half-open window: there is a risk
that the electric window could be
damaged.

left-hand side of the dashboard.
BONNET (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.
In the event of even a slight
impact involving the radia-
tor grille or bonnet, have the
bonnet lock checked by an
authorised dealer as soon as pos-
sible.
Do not do any work under
the bonnet when the vehicle
is charging or when the igni-
tion is switched on.
Unlocking the bonnet catch
Lift the bonnet by several centimetres
and push lever 2 to the left.
2
When working in the engine
compartment, ensure that
the windscreen wiper stalk
is in the park position.
Risk of injury.

4.3
Opening the bonnet
Lift the bonnet; you will need to guide it
as it is held by a strut.
Ensure that the bonnet is
properly locked.
Ensure that nothing is pre-
venting locking (grit, cloths,
etc.).
After carrying out any work
in the engine compart-
ment, check that nothing
has been left behind (cloth,
tools, etc.).
Otherwise, this may lead to engine
damage.
BONNET (2/2)
Closing the bonnet
Check that nothing has been left in the
engine compartment.
To close the bonnet again, hold the
bonnet in the middle and guide it down,
allowing a 30 cm gap before it is closed,
then release it. It will latch automatically
under its own weight.
Do not press down on the
bonnet: there is a risk that
the bonnet will close inad-
vertently.

4.4
Replacement intervals
Refer to the Maintenance Document for
your vehicle.
LEVELS (1/2)
CoolantThe level is checked with the engine
switched off and on flat ground. The
level when cold must be between the
“MIN” and “MAX” marks on the coolant
reservoir 1. Top this level up when cold before the
“MINIMUM” mark is reached. Checking intervals
Check the coolant level regularly
(very severe damage is likely to be
caused to the engine if it runs out of
coolant).
If the level needs to be topped up, only
use products approved by our Technical
Department which ensure:
– protection against freezing;
– anticorrosion protection of the cool-
ing system.
No operations should be
carried out on the cooling
circuit when the engine is
hot.
Risk of burns.
Consult your approved dealer at
once if you notice an abnormal or
repeated drop in any of the fluid
levels.
Do not do any work under
the bonnet when the vehicle
is charging or when the igni-
tion is switched on.
