AIR CONDITIONING(continued)
Air conditioning controls
ControlCoperates or stops
the air conditioning system.
The system will not operate if
controlEis set at0.The use of the air conditioning
system:
• lowers the internal passenger
compartment temperature,
especially in hot weather, when
driving in traffic or when the
vehicle has been parked in the
sun;
• reduces the humidity of the air
blown inside the passenger
compartment (prevents misting).Note:The air conditioning may be
used in all conditions but does not
operate when the external
temperature is low.
•ButtonCnot activated (tell-tale
lightDextinguished)
The air conditioning is not
operational.
Heating and ventilation are
therefore identical to that of a
vehicle without air conditioning.
•ButtonCactivated (tell-tale light
Dilluminated)
The air conditioning is activated.
The air is taken from outside the
vehicle and is constantly
renewed.

AIR CONDITIONING(continued)
In very hot weather or when the
vehicle has been parked in the sun,
open the doors for a few moments to
let the hot air escape before starting
off.
Air recycling allows the desired
temperature setting to be achieved
more quickly. Switch off recycling
mode as soon as the desired
temperature is reached.When the air conditioning system is
operating, all windows must be
closed for maximum efficiency.
If there is an operating fault, consult
your Renault Dealer.
If no cool air is produced
Check that the controls are set
correctly and that the fuses are in
good condition. If both these points
are correct, switch off the system
(tell-tale lightDextinguished) and
consult a Renault Dealer.
Do not open the
refrigerant circuit: this
may cause injury to the
eyes or skin.

AIR CONDITIONING(continued)
Adjusting the amount of air
supplied to the passenger
compartment
ONormal use
Move controlEfrom
(position1)to4.
Ventilation in the passenger
compartment is by “blown air”.
The ventilation fan determines
the amount of inlet air. The
vehicle speed has a slight effect
on this.
This principle improves the
stability of the passenger
compartment air temperature.
The further the control is
positioned to the right, the
greater the quantity of air blown
into the passenger compartment.
Position O
In this position:
- The ventilation speed of air
supplied to the passenger
compartment is zero;
- there is, however, a slight flow
of air when the vehicle is
moving.
To alter this setting, move control
Eto the setting or higher.
OTemporary isolation of the
passenger compartment
Move controlEfrom
(position1)to4.
Air recycling allows the desired
temperaturetobeachievedas
quickly as possible.
This switches the air recycling
system on or off.
Normal operation of the heating
and ventilation system is
obtained using external air.The air recycling position allows
you to isolate yourself from the
external atmosphere (when driving
in polluted areas, etc.).
Prolonged use of this position
(recycled air) may mist up the
windows slightly or cause odours
due to the air not being renewed.
It is advisable therefore to return to
normal operation (external air) by
adjusting controlCwhen you have
passed through the polluted area.

may be seriously injured (by trapping his or her neck, arm, hand, etc.).
