MANUAL AIR CONDITIONING (1/3)
ABSwitching air conditioning on
or off
The air conditioning is switched on (in-
dicator light on) or off (indicator light off)
using the button 7.
The air conditioning system is used
for:
– lowering the temperature inside the
passenger compartment;
– eliminating condensation more quickly.
Clear View function
Press button 3 – the integrated indica-
tor light comes on.
This function quickly demists and de-
ices the windscreen, the rear screen,
the front side windows, and the door
mirrors (depending on the vehicle). The
air conditioning and rear screen de-ic-
ing functions must be activated.
Press button 6 to stop the heated rear
screen operating, and the integrated in-
dicator goes out.

Air recirculation is for:
– isolating the vehicle from the exter-nal atmosphere (driving in polluted
areas, etc.);
– lowering the passenger compart- ment temperature as quickly as pos-
sible.Switching the air
recirculation on
Press the button 2: the warning light B
comes on. In these conditions, air is
taken from the passenger compartment
and is recycled, with no air being taken
from outside the vehicle.
MANUAL AIR CONDITIONING (2/3)
Prolonged use of air recirculation can lead to condensation forming on t\
he side
windows and windscreen, and discomfort due to the use of non-renewed air\
in
the passenger compartment. We therefore advise you to return to normal mode
(external air) as soon as the air recirculation function is no longer \
required, by
pressing the button 6 again.
Distribution of air in the
passenger compartment
There are five air distribution options.
Turn control 8 to choose the distribution
option.
The air distribution is displayed on the
indicator D.
õThe air flow is directed to the
windscreen and the front side
window demisting vents.
÷The air flow is distributed be-
tween all the air vents, the
front side window demisting vents, the
windscreen demisting vents and the
footwells.
óThe air flow is directed mainly
towards the footwells.
GThe air flow is directed towards
the dashboard air vents, the
front footwells and, depending on the
vehicle, the second row footwells.
JAll the air flow is directed to the
dashboard vents.

Clear View function
This function quickly demists and de-
ices the windscreen, the rear screen,
the front side windows, and the door
mirrors (depending on the vehicle). The
air conditioning and rear screen de-ic-
ing functions must be activated.
Press button 3 – the integrated indica-
tor light comes on.
To stop the operation of the rear screen,
press the de-icer button 11. The inte-
grated warning light will go out.
You can change the fan speed: press
the button 6.
To exit this function, press button 3
again.
Some buttons have an operating
tell-tale which indicates the operat-
ing status.
Adjusting the distribution
of air in the passenger
compartment
There are five air distribution options.
Press switches 4 and 5 to scroll through
them. The arrows located on the indica-
tor B combine to show you the distribu-
tion selected:
õAll the air is then directed to
the windscreen and front side
window demisting vents.
÷The air flow is distributed be-
tween front side window de-

wells.
JAll the air flow is directed to the

Manual use
Pressing the button 9 allows air recir-
culation to be forced. In this case, the
integrated warning light comes on and
the indicator D goes out.
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 9.Stopping the system
To stop the system, press the button 1
OFF (the integrated warning light
comes on) or, depending on the ve-
hicle, reduce the fan speed down to
a minimum by pressing the button 6
marked by OFF as many times as is
necessary.
To start, press the switch 7.
Recycling
This function is managed automati-
cally (operation is confirmed by warn-
ing light D), but you can also activate
it manually.
Note:
– 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.);
– lowering the passenger compart- ment temperature as quickly as pos-
sible.
AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL (6/6)
The demisting/de-icing will still take
priority over the air recirculation.

AIR CONDITIONING: information and operating instructions (1/2)
Do not add anything to the
vehicle’s ventilation circuit
(for example, to remove
bad odours).
There is a risk of damage or of
fire.
Do not open the refriger-
ant fluid circuit. The fluid
may damage eyes or skin.
Fuel consumption
You will normally notice an increase in
fuel consumption (especially in town)
when the air conditioning is operating.
For vehicles fitted with air conditioning
with no automatic mode, switch off the
system when it is not required.
Advice for reducing consumption
and helping to preserve the environ-
ment
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.
Maintenance
Refer to the Maintenance Document
for your vehicle for the inspection fre-
quency.
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 cold air is being produced .
Check that the controls are set cor-
rectly 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.
Advice on use
In some situations (air conditioning off,
air recirculation activated, ventilation
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.
Vehicles equipped with ECO
mode: once activated, ECO mode
may reduce the performance of the
air conditioning. Please refer to the
information on “Driving advice, Eco-
driving” in Section 2.
Use the air conditioning system reg-
ularly, even in cold weather, running
it at least once a month for approxi-
mately 5 minutes.
3.16
ELECTRIC WINDOWS (1/2)
These systems operate:
– with the engine running;
– with the ignition off until one of the front doors is opened (limited to ap-
proximately 12 minutes).
– with the engine off, front doors closed, after pressing the start
button.
Press or pull the switch to raise or lower
a window to the desired height (the rear
windows do not open fully);

Avoid resting any objects against a
half-open window: there is a risk that
the electric window winder could be
damaged.
Passenger safety
The driver can prevent all
occupants from operating
the front and rear passen-
ger electric windows by pressing
switch 2.
Driver’s responsibility
Never leave your vehicle with the
RENAULT card or key 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.

From the driver’s seat, use switch:
1 for the driver’s side;
3 for the front passenger side;
4 and 5 for the rear passengers.
From the passenger seats, use
switch 6.
