Manual use
Pressing button 11 allows air recircula -
tion to be forced, in this case, the inte-
grated indicator comes on .
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 button 7 to switch off the system;
in this case “OFF” is shown on the dis-
play 13. To switch the system on, press
one of the 2, 3 or 4 switches.
Recycling
This function is controlled automati -
cally, but it can also be activated manu-
ally.
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.
AuT oMATIc clIMATE coNTRol (5/5)
The demisting/de-icing will still take
priority over the air recirculation.

Air conditioning: information and advice on use
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 Service
Booklet 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 perform-
ance. 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 ve -
hicle. This is caused by condensa -
tion.

3 and 5 for the rear passenger win-
dows.

Safety of rear occupants
The driver can disable op -
eration of the electric win -
dows and, depending on
the vehicle, the rear doors, by
pressing switch 4 . The indicator
light integrated in the switch lights
up to confirm that the locks have
been activated.
Driver’s responsibility
Never leave your vehicle with the
RENAULT card inside and never
leave a child (or a pet) unsuper -
vised, even for a short while. They
may pose a risk to themselves or to
others by starting the engine, acti -
vating equipment such as the elec-
tric windows or by locking the doors.
If any part of the body becomes
trapped, reverse the direction of the
window immediately by pressing the
relevant switch.
Risk of serious injury.
Avoid resting any objects against
a half-open window: there is a risk
that the electric window could be
damaged.

Sunroof
– open the sun blind
– To open slightly: turn button 9 to
position A;
– To open fully: turn button 9 to po -
sition B , C or D , depending on the
opening position required;
– To close: turn button 9 to position 0.
Sun blind

Special noteYour vehicle is equipped with an antip-
inch facility: when the sunroof encoun -
ters resistance whilst closing, (some -
body’s fingers, etc.) it stops and then
moves back several centimetres.
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.
The reason for this is that the child
may endanger himself or others by
starting the engine, activating equip-
ment such as the window winders
for example, or locking the doors.
If a body part gets trapped, reverse
the direction of travel as soon as
possible by turning button 9 fully to
the right (position D).
Risk of serious injury.

Precautions during use
– check that the sunroof is properly
closed before leaving your vehicle;
– clean the seal every three months
using products recommended by our
Technical Department;
– do not open the sunroof immedi -
ately after the vehicle has been in
the rain or after your car has been
washed.
– Vehicle with roof bars
As a general rule, if there is a load
on the roof, use of the sunroof is not
recommended.
Before using the sunroof, check the
objects and/or accessories (bike
racks, roof boxes, etc.) attached to
the roof bars: they should be prop -
erly arranged and secured and
should not interfere with the opera -
tion of the sunroof.
Contact your approved Dealer for
details of possible conversions.

In case of a fault when closing a window,
the system reverts to normal mode:
pull the switch concerned up as often
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.

to the position 0 and then press button 8

side, press the locking button on the
RENA ulT card twice in quick suc -
cession, or on the driver's door in

cle can be seen clearly and no one is
inside.
Note: locking the doors using the
RENAULT card deactivates hands-free
mode.
Closing windows can cause
serious injury.
If the vehicle is equipped
with this function, this action
will activate deadlocking.

the sunroof anti-pinch facility is de-
activated. Contact your approved
dealer as soon as possible.
