RENAULT KANGOO VAN ZERO EMISSION 2012 X61 / 2.G Owners Manual

3.5
iThe air flow is directed to the
windscreen demisting vents,
the side windows and the passenger
footwells.
This is the recommended position for
the best temperature in cold weather.
óThe air flow is directed mainly
towards the footwells.
GThe air flow is directed to all air
vents and the footwells.
This is the recommended position for
the best temperature in hot weather.
JThe air flow is directed mainly
to the dashboard vents.
Rapid demisting
Turn the controls to the positions W:
– air from the outside;
– maximum temperature;
– demisting.
Using the climate control increases the
speed of demisting.
Adjusting the air temperature
Turn control 2 to obtain the desired
temperature. The further the pointer is
away from the heating stop position,
the higher the temperature will be.
If the outdoor temperature is too high,
the heating decreases automatically.
This limits energy consumption and
maintains the range of the vehicle.
HEATING, AIR-CONDITIONING (2/3)
When the air conditioning system is
used for long periods, it may begin to
feel cold. To increase the temperature,
turn control 2 to the right.
Distribution of air in the
passenger compartment
Turn control 4 to position the pointer op-
posite the marked positions.
WThe air flow is directed to the
windscreen demisting vents
and the side windows. This position
prevents the formation of condensa-
tion.

Adjusting the ventilation
speed
Normal use
Turn control 3 to one of the four posi-
tions to start the ventilation system and
adjust the power.
Select position 1 for minimum ventila-
tion and position 4 for maximum ven-
tilation.
Position 0
In this position:
– the air conditioning or heating stops automatically even if button 6 is acti-
vated and the warning light remains
lit;
– the ventilation speed of air in the passenger compartment is zero;
– there is, however, a slight flow of air when the vehicle is moving.
This position should not normally be
used.
HEATING, AIR-CONDITIONING (3/3)
Air recirculation (isolation of
the passenger compartment)
Turn control 1 towards the air recircula-
tion symbol
K.
In these conditions air is taken from the
passenger compartment and is recircu-
lated, with no air being taken from out-
side the vehicle.
Air recirculation operates as
follows:
– isolating the passenger compart- ment from the outside air (driving in
polluted areas, unpleasant odours,
etc.);
– bringing the passenger compartment to the desired temperature as quickly
as possible.
Prolonged use of this position can
lead to condensation forming on the
side windows and windscreen and
problems due to the use of non-re-
newed air in the passenger com-
partment.
We therefore advise you to return to
normal mode (external air) as soon
as the air recirculation function is no
longer required, by turning control 1
again.

AIR CONDITIONING/HEATING: programming (1/2)
Adjusting the programming
This function enables the electric net-
work (and the not the traction battery)
to be used under certain conditions, in
order to obtain a comfortable tempera-
ture prior to using the vehicle.
It triggers the heating in cold weather
and the fan in warm weather.
1
Operating conditions
– the ignition must be switched off;
– the battery charging must be finished for the function to be triggered;
– the vehicle has to be plugged into the mains;
and
– control 1 must be position
.
2
In cold weather (< 0°C), you are rec-
ommended to position control 2 in
air recirculation position. This en-
ables greater efficiency and lower
energy consumption in the passen-
ger compartment ambient tempera-
ture.

3.8
AIR CONDITIONING/HEATING: programming (2/2)
Activating the function
– With the ignition on, control 1 on
;
– turn off the ignition. The “COMFORT” message and the programmed time
are displayed on the instrument
panel for a few seconds;
– charge your vehicle;
The function triggers on the hour pre-
ceding the hour programmed in order to
reach a comfortable temperature.
Automatically switching off the
function
– about 30 minutes after the pro- grammed time;
– if the charging socket is discon- nected;
– if control 1 is not in position
.

buttons A and B to navigate through
the menu until message COMFORT
PROG appears.
– hold down button B on stalk 3 - the
hours flash;
– press button A to adjust them; – hold down button
B on stalk 3 - the

The message “COMFORT PROG” and
the programmed time are displayed on
the instrument panel.

3.9
Conditions of use
– The engine must be running;
– switch 4 must be engaged;
– the ventilation control 2 should not
be at position 0;
– the temperature control 1 should not
be at the ”Stop heating” position 3.
– The fuel level should not be at mini- mum.
ADDITIONAL HEATING (1/2)
Depending on the vehicle, the addi-
tional heating is designed to heat the
passenger compartment. Powered
by a dedicated fuel tank (please see
“Additional heating tank” in Section 1),
this increases the comfort level without
reducing vehicle range.
Switching on this additional heating de-
activates other heating methods and
the air-conditioning.
2
When the fuel reaches the minimum
level, a warning light will come on
on the instrument panel. After a few
minutes of operation, a message on
the instrument panel will tell you that
the additional heating is switched
off.

ADDITIONAL HEATING (2/2)
Operating fault
If the additional heating does not switch
on:
– start the vehicle;
– switch on the heating by pressing switch 4;
– wait for 5 minutes;
– turn off the heater;
– switch off your vehicle ignition;
– restart the operation 4 or 5 times.
If the additional heating still fails to op-
erate, please contact an authorised
dealer.
Operating principle
With the engine running, press switch 4.
The operation cuts out:
– when the ignition is switched off;
– after a few minutes, when the mini- mum fuel level has been reached;
With the engine running,
when you open the driv-
er’s door, a message will
appear on the instrument
panel along with a beep to tell you
to switch off the additional heating.
Warnings concerning the
use of additional heating
– Do not operate the ad-
ditional heating in an en-
closed location; exhaust fumes
are poisonous.
– Do not park the vehicle or oper- ate the additional heating in lo-
cations where flammable mate-
rial or substances such as grass
or leaves can come into contact
with a hot exhaust system.
– Do not operate the additional heating when filling the fuel tank.

AIR CONDITIONING: information and advice on use.
Do not open the refriger-
ant fluid circuit. The fluid
may damage eyes or skin.
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.
Range
It is normal to notice an increase in
energy usage when the air conditioning
is operating.
Switch off the system when it is not re-
quired.
Advice for reducing consumption
and helping to preserve the environ-
ment
Drive with the air vents on and the win-
dows 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.
