Varying the ventilation speed
In automatic mode, the system uses
the most suitable amount of air to reach
and maintain the desired comfort level.
You can still adjust the ventilation
speed by pressing buttons 6 or 10 or,
depending on the vehicle, by sliding or
touching your finger in zone 15.
Temperature adjustmentThere are two types of settings:
– Uniform passenger compartment
setting;
– DUAL function setting to independ- ently adjust the left and right sides.
Uniform passenger compartment
setting
Use control 1.
DUAL function setting
Press button 2 to activate/deactivate.
Use control 1 to adjust the left side and
control 5 for the right side.
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.

When Ø and ½ are choosed
at the same time, there can be some
drops of dew on the windscreen in
summer and they are recommended to
choose in winter.
½ is designed to
flow a little air for pleasantness.
If you want to demist the windscreen
fast, using Clear view function is rec-
ommended by pressing button 1.
Air recirculation
Depending on the vehicle or country,
Press button 8 or 9.
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 exter- nal atmosphere to be cut off (when
driving in polluted areas, etc.) and
to cool the passenger compartment
temperature more quickly.
Manual use
Press button 8 or 9 to force air
recirculation(a n indicator light is dis-
played).
Prolonged use of this position may lead
to odours, caused by non-renewal of
air, and the formation of condensation
on the windows.
To exit this function, press one of 3 or
button 8 again.
Adjusting the distribution
of air in the passenger
compartment
Press buttons 7 to select the desired
distribution (a message is displayed in
zone 14):
ØThe air flow is mainly directed
to the demisting vents for the
windscreen and the side windows.
½The air flow is mainly directed
to the dashboard air vents.
¿The air flow is directed mainly
towards the footwells.

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.
AIR CONDITIONING: information and advice on use
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.
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.
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.

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 the
front and rear passenger
electric windows from op-
erating (and the driver’s window)
by pressing switch 2. A confirmation
message is displayed on the instru-
ment panel.
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.

One-touch mode
Depending on the vehicle, this mode
works in addition to the operation of the
electric windows described previously.
It is only fitted to the driver’s window.
Briefly press or pull switch 1 fully: the
window is fully lowered or raised.
Pressing the switch again stops the
window moving.
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 WINDOWS (2/2)
Operating faults
In case of a fault when closing a window,
the system reverts to normal mode:
pull the switch concerned up as often
as necessary to fully close the window
(the window will close gradually), hold
the switch (still on the closure side) for
one second then lower and raise the
window fully to reinitialise the system.
If necessary, contact your authorised
dealer.
When closing the windows,
ensure that no part of the
body (arm, hand, etc.) is
protruding from the vehicle.
Risk of serious injury.
