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 inspection
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.

These systems operate with the igni-
tion on or off, until one of the front doors
is opened (limited to about 3 minutes).
From the driver’s seat, use switch:
1 for the driver’s side;
2 for the front passenger’s side;
3 and 5 for the rear passenger win-
dows.
From the passenger seats, use
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 windowsPress or pull the switch to raise or lower
a window to the desired height (the rear
windows do not open fully);
One-touch mode
This mode works in addition to the
operation of the electric windows de-
scribed previously.
Briefly press or pull the window switch
fully: the window is fully lowered or
raised. Pressing the switch again stops
the window moving.
Avoid resting any objects against a
half-open window: there is a risk that
the electric window winder could be
damaged.
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.

Sunroof
– open the sun blind;
– to open slightly: turn button 7 to po-
sition A;
– to open fully: turn button 7 to po-
sition B , C or D, depending on the
opening position required;

Special note
Your 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 7 fully to
the right (position D).
Risk of serious injury.

BATTERY (1/2)
1
The battery 1 does not require any
maintenance. Label A
Observe the indications on the battery:
–
2 naked flames and smoking are for-
bidden;
– 3 eye protection required;
– 4 keep away from children;
– 5 explosive materials;
– 6 refer to the handbook;
– 7 corrosive materials.
Handle the battery with care
as it contains sulphuric acid
which must not come into
contact with the eyes or
skin. If it does, wash the affected
area with plenty of cold water. If
necessary, consult a doctor.
Ensure that naked flames, red hot
objects and sparks do not come into
contact with the battery as there is a
risk of explosion.
Depending on the vehicle, a system
continuously checks the battery charge
status. If this decreases, the message
“Battery low start engine” is displayed
on the instrument panel. In this case,
start the engine. Then the message
“Battery charging” appears on the in-
strument panel for the duration of the
charging time.
The charge status of your battery can
decrease especially if you use your ve-
hicle:
– for short journeys;
– for driving in town;
– when the temperature drops;
– after extended use of consumers (radio etc.) with the engine switched
off.
The engine may be hot
during operations in close
proximity. In addition, the
engine cooling fan may
start at any moment.
Risk of injury.

4.16
Respect local regulations about wash-
ing vehicles (e.g. do not wash your ve-
hicle on a public highway).
Observe the vehicle stopping distances
when driving on gravelled surfaces to
prevent paint damage.
Repair, or have repaired quickly, areas
where the paint has been damaged, to
prevent corrosion spreading.
Remember to visit the body shop pe-
riodically in order to maintain your
anti-corrosion warranty. Refer to the
Maintenance Document.
If it is necessary to clean mechani-
cal components, hinges, etc., spray
them with products approved by our
Technical Department to protect them
after they have been cleaned.
BODYWORK MAINTENANCE (2/2)
We have selected special products
to care for your vehicle and you can
obtain these from the manufactur-
er’s accessory outlets.
Using a roller type car wash
Return the windscreen wiper stalk to
the Park position (refer to the informa-
tion on the “Windscreen washer, wiper”
in Section 1). Check the mounting of
external accessories, additional lights
and mirrors, and ensure that the wiper
blades are secured with adhesive tape.
Remove the radio aerial mast if your
vehicle is fitted with this equipment.
Remember to remove the tape and refit
the antenna after washing.
Cleaning the headlights
As the headlights are made of plastic
“glass”, use a soft cloth or cotton wool
to clean them. If this does not clean
them properly, moisten the cloth with
soapy water, then wipe clean with a soft
damp cloth or cotton wool.
Finally, carefully dry off with a soft dry
cloth.
Cleaning products containing alco-
hol must not be used.
Vehicles with a matte paint
finish
This type of paint requires certain pre-
cautions.
Do not do the following
– use wax-based products (polishing);
– rub hard;
– wash the vehicle in a roller-type car
wash;
– wash the vehicle using a high-pres-
sure device;
– attach stickers to the paintwork (risk
of leaving marks).
You should do the following
Wash the vehicle by hand using plenty
of water, using a soft cloth or a gentle
sponge.

5.13
TYRES (1/3)
Maintaining the tyres
The tyres must be in good condition
and the tread form must have sufficient
depth; tyres approved by our Technical
Department have tread wear indica-
tors 1 which are indicators moulded
into the tread at several points .
Tyre and wheel safety
The tyres are the only contact between
the vehicle and the road, so it is essen-
tial to keep them in good condition. You
must comply with the local rules given
in the highway code.
When the tread has worn down to the
wear warning strips,
these strips will
become visible 2: it is then necessary
to replace your tyres because the tread
rubber is now only 1.6 mm deep at
most, resulting in poor road holding
on wet roads.
An overloaded vehicle, long journeys
by motorway, particularly in very hot
weather, or continual driving on poorly
surfaced minor roads will lead to more
rapid tyre wear and affect safety.
For your safety, please re-
spect the speed limit.
When they need to be re-
placed, only tyres of the
same make, size, type and profile
should be used on a single axle.
They must: either have a load ca-
pacity and a speed capacity at
least equal to the original tyres,
or correspond to those recom-
mended by your authorised
dealer.
Failure to heed these instructions
could endanger your safety and
affect your vehicle’s roadworthi-
ness.
Risk of loss of control of the ve-
hicle.
Incidents which occur when
driving, such as striking the
kerb, may damage the tyres
and wheel rims, and could
also lead to misalignment of the
front or rear axle geometry. In this
case, have the condition of these
checked by an approved dealer.

Operating faultsIf the battery is too weak to ensure cor-
rect operation, you may start (insert the
RENAULT card in the card reader) and
lock/unlock the vehicle (refer to the in-
formation on “Locking/unlocking the
doors” in Section 1).
RENAULT CARD: battery
Replacing the batteryWhen the message “Keycard battery
low” appears on the instrument panel,
replace the RENAULT card battery,
press button 1 pulling on emergency
key 2, then unclip the cover 3 using
tab 4. Remove the battery by pressing on one
side (movement A) and by lifting the
other (movement B) then replace it, en-
suring the polarity and model, shown
on cover 3 are respected.
Do not throw away your
used batteries; give them to
an organisation responsible
for collecting and recycling
batteries.

WIPER BLADES: replacing
Windscreen wiper blades 1With the ignition on and engine
switched off, lower the windscreen
wiper stalk completely: they stop
slightly away from the bonnet.
Lift wiper arm 3, pull tab 2 (move-
ment A) and push the blade upwards. Refitting
Slide the blade along the arm until
it clips on. Check that it is correctly
locked. Return the windscreen wiper
stalk to the park position. The wiper
arm on the driver’s side must always be
on top.– In frosty weather, make
sure that the wiper blades
are not stuck by ice (to
avoid the risk of the motor
overheating).
– Check the condition of the wiper
blades.
Replace the wiper blades as soon
as they begin to lose efficiency
(approximately once a year).
Whilst changing the blade, take care
not to drop the arm onto the window
after it has been removed as this
may break the window.
