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 fan speed by
pressing the buttons 13 to increase or
reduce the fan speed.
In this case, the fan speed, which is
no longer controlled automatically, ap-
pears in zone A on the display 12.
Some buttons have an operating
tell-tale which indicates the operat-
ing status.

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.
You are recommended to use automatic mode by selecting one of the auto-
matic programmes AUTO, SOFT or FAST.
In automatic mode (indicator light for button 3 on), all heating and air conditioning
functions are controlled by the system.
You can also change the system selection. In this case, the indicator lig\
ht on the
button 3 will go out and the changed function, which is no longer controlled by \
the
system, will be shown on the display 12.
To return to automatic mode, press one of the AUTO, SOFT or FAST programmes.
AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL (3/5)
Switching air conditioning on
or off
In automatic mode, the system switches
the air conditioning system on or off,
depending on the climate conditions.
Press switch 8 to switch off the air
conditioning; the integrated indicator
comes on and “A/C OFF” is shown on
display 12.

Rear screen de-icing/
demisting
Press button 9: the integrated indica-
tor light comes on. This function per-
mits rapid demisting/de-icing of the rear
screen and de-icing of the door mirrors
(on equipped vehicles).
To exit this function, press button 9
again. Demisting automatically stops
by default.
ØThe air flow is directed to the
windscreen and the front side
window demisting vents.
×The air flow is distributed be-
tween front side window de-
misting vents, the windscreen demist-
ing vents and the footwells.
¿The air flow is directed mainly
towards the footwells.
¾The air flow is directed towards
the dashboard vents and the
footwells.
½All the air flow is directed to the
dashboard vents.
In this situation, the distribution of air in
the passenger compartment, which is
no longer automatically controlled, ap-
pears on the display.9
Adjusting the distribution
of air in the passenger
compartment
There are five air distribution options.

Manual use
Pressing button 11 allows air recircula-
tion to be forced, in which case the in-
tegrated warning light comes on as well
as warning light 14.
Prolonged use of this position may lead
to odours, caused by non-renewal of
air, and the formation of condensation
on the windows.
We therefore advise you to return to au-
tomatic mode as soon as the air recir-
culation function is no longer required,
by pressing button 11 again.Stopping the system
Press the button 7 to switch off the
system; in this case “OFF” is shown on
the display 12. To switch the system on,
press one of switches 2, 3 or 4.
Recycling
This function is managed automati-
cally (operation is confirmed by warn-
ing light 14 on display 12), but you can
also activate it manually.
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 external atmosphere to be cut off (when driv-
ing in polluted areas, etc.);
– lowering the passenger compart- ment temperature as quickly as pos-
sible.
AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL (5/5)
The demisting/de-icing will still take
priority over the air recirculation.

AIR CONDITIONING: information and advice on use
Fuel consumption
You will normally notice an increase
in fuel consumption (especially
when driving in town) when the air
conditioning is operating.
For vehicles fitted with manual air
conditioning, switch off the system
when it is not required.
Advice for reducing
consumption and therefore
helping to preserve the
environment:
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.
Maintenance
Refer to the Maintenance
Document for your vehicle for the in-
spection frequency.Operating faults
As a general rule, contact your ap-
proved Dealer in the event of an op-
erating fault:
– reduction in de-icing, demist-
ing or air conditioning per-
formance. This may be caused
by the passenger compartment
filter cartridge becoming clogged;
– no cold air is being produced.
Check that the controls are set
correctly and that the fuses are
sound. Otherwise, switch off the
system.
Advice on use
In some situations, (air conditioning
off, air recirculation activated, venti-
lation speed at zero or low, etc.) you
may notice that condensation starts
to form on the windows and wind-
screen.
If there is condensation, use the
“Clear View” function to remove it,
then use the air conditioning in auto-
matic mode to stop it forming again.
If the condensation does not clear,
use the FAST programme.
Do not open the refriger-
ant fluid circuit. The fluid
may damage eyes or skin.
Note
Presence of water under the ve-
hicle. After prolonged use of the air
conditioning system, it is normal for
water to be present under the vehi-
cle. This is caused by condensation.

2 for the front passenger’s side;
3 and 5 for the rear passenger win-
dows;
4 for all the windows.
From the front passenger seat, move
switch 6.
Note: if the window detects resistance
when closing (e.g.: fingers, branch of
a tree, etc.) it stops and then lowers
again by a few centimetres.
ELECTRIC WINDOWS (1/2)
One-touch mode
Depending on the vehicle, this mode
works in addition to the operation of the
electric windows described previously.
Briefly press or pull the window switch
fully: the window lowers fully (all win-

Driver’s responsibility
Never leave your vehicle
with the RENAULT card
inside and never leave a
child (or a pet) unsupervised, even
for a short while. They may pose
a risk to themselves or to others
by starting the engine, activating
equipment such as the electric win-
dows or by locking the doors. If any
part of the body becomes trapped,
reverse the direction of the window
immediately by pressing the rele-
vant switch.
Risk of serious injury.
Avoid resting any objects against a
half-open window: there is a risk that
the electric window winder could be
damaged.

as necessary to fully close the window
(the window will close gradually), hold
the switch (still on the closure side) for
three seconds then lower and raise the
window fully to reinitialise the system.
If necessary, contact your approved
Dealer.
Important: during this operation,
the window anti-pinch facility is de-
activated. Contact your approved
dealer as soon as possible.
Driver’s responsibility
Closing windows can cause
serious injury.
If any part of the body (arm, hand,
etc.) becomes trapped, reverse the
