will go out.
These buttons increase or
decrease the amount of air blown
into the passenger compartment.

gradually until the engine
temperature is warm enough to
heat the passenger compartment

AUTOMATIC AIR CONDITIONING(continued)
OUsing recirculated air
Press button6;the
indicator light will come on.
In this position the air is taken
from inside the passenger
compartment and is recirculated
without admitting external air.
Recirculation of air allows the
external atmosphere to be
isolated (driving in polluted
areas).Prolonged use of the air
recirculation mode may cause the
windows to mist up or lead to
odours, as the air is not renewed.
We therefore advise you to return to
normal mode (external air) by
pressing button6as soon as air
recirculation is no longer required.
Special instructions
Switching on air recirculation
automatically switches on the air
conditioning.
The function operates periodically
if the external temperature is lower
than approximately 10°C; the
indicator light on button6will go
out after a few minutes.
The function operates permanently
if the external temperature is above
approximately 10°C; press button6
to switch off.

AIR CONDITIONING
If no cool air is produced
Check that the controls are set correctly and that the fuses are in good condition. Otherwise switch off the air
conditioning and contact a RENAULT Dealer.
Do not open the refrigerant fluid circuit.
Fuel consumption
When the air conditioning is operating, it is normal to notice an increase in fuel consumption (especially when driving
in town).
In winter, use the air conditioning occasionally in order to keep the system in correct working order.
Do not worry about any water which may appear from underneath the vehicle as this results from condensation.
Operating faults
Generally, if you notice a decrease in the efficiency of de-icing, demisting or air conditioning, it may be caused by
clogging up of the particle filter cartridge, if one is fitted to the vehicle: consult your RENAULT Dealer.
