Deactivating the air-
conditioning
The button 5 stops (warning light on)
the operation of the air-conditioning.
To activate the air-conditioning, press
the button 1 . The integrated warning
light in the button 5 will go out.
The air conditioning system is used
for:
– lowering the temperature inside the passenger compartment;
– eliminating condensation more quickly.
The air conditioning does not operate
when the exterior temperature is low.

AUTOMATIC AIR-CONDITIONING (2/4)
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.
Preferably, use automatic mode.
In automatic mode (the button’s
warning light 1 is lit), all heating and
air-conditioning functions are con-
trolled by the system.
You can always modify the choice
of system; in this case, the warning
light in the button 1 goes out.
Advice: to optimize vehicle range, de-
activate the air conditioning when the
outside temperature is comfortable.
Clear View function
Press button 3 – the integrated indica-
tor light comes on.
This system quickly demists and de-
ices the windscreen and the front side
windows. It requires the automatic
usage of the air-conditioning or the
heating.
To exit this function, press the button
marked 3.

 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.

Setting the start time for the
function
You can set two different times.
– press button 1 for quick access to the
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
comfortable temperature.
The warning lights integrated in the
button
1, the AUTO button 2 and the
warning light
 on the instrument
panel are lit up.
“Programme” activation
– With the ignition switched on and the
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.
– switch off the engine;
– plug the vehicle into a power source;
– lock the vehicle.

3.17
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 operating instructions (1/2)
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.
Vehicles equipped with
modeECO
Once activated, ECO mode may
reduce air conditioning perform-
ance. Please refer to the informa-
tion 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.

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.
