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.
AIR CONDITIONING: information and advice on use
Do not open the refriger-
ant fluid circuit.  The fluid 
may damage eyes or skin.
Fuel consumption
You will normally notice an increase in 
fuel consumption (especially in town) 
when the air conditioning is operating.
For vehicles fitted with air conditioning 
with no automatic mode, switch off the 
system when it is not required.
Advice for reducing consumption 
and helping to preserve the environ-
ment
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.
Advice on use
In some situations, (air conditioning 
off, air recirculation activated, ventila-
tion speed at zero or low, etc.) you may 
notice that condensation starts to form 
on the windows and windscreen.
If there is condensation, use the “Clear 
View” function to remove it, then use 
the air conditioning in automatic mode 
to stop it forming again.
Maintenance
Refer to the Maintenance Document 
for your vehicle for the inspection fre-
quency.
Do not add anything to the 
vehicle’s ventilation circuit 
(for example, to remove 
bad odours).
There is a risk of damage or of 
fire.

From the driver’s seat, use switch:
 1  for the driver’s side;
  2  for the front passenger side;
  3 and   5 for the rear passenger win-
dows.
From the passenger seats, use 
switch 6.
Avoid resting any objects against 
a half-open window: there is a risk 
that the electric window could be 
damaged.
Driver’s responsibility
Never leave your vehicle with the RENAULT card or key inside, and never leave a child, adult who is not self-sufficient 
or a pet, even for a short while. They may pose a risk to themselves or to others by starting the engine o\
r activating 
equipment (such as the gear lever or electric windows). If any part of\
 the body becomes trapped, reverse the direction 
of the window immediately by pressing the relevant switch.
Risk of serious injury.
These systems operate  with the igni-
tion on or off, until one of the front doors 
is opened (limited to about 3 minutes).
Electric windowsPress or pull the switch to raise or lower 
a window to the desired height (the rear 
windows do not open fully);
Passenger safety
The driver can prevent the 
front and rear passenger 
electric windows from op-
erating (and the driver’s window) 
by pressing switch  4. A  confirmation 
message is displayed on the instru-
ment panel.

4.14
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.

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 make sure that your tyres con- 
form to local road traffic regulations.When the tyre tread has been worn 
to the level of the warning strips, they 
become visible 
2: it is then neces-
sary to replace your tyres because the 
tread rubber is now only  1.6 mm deep 
at most, resulting in poor road hold-
ing 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.
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 wear warning strips 
1  which are indicators moulded into 
the tread at several points.
TYRES (1/3)
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.

WINDSCREEN WIPER BLADES (1/2)
Check the condition of the wiper 
blades. You are responsible for their 
service life:
–  clean the blades, windscreen and rear screen regularly with soapy 
water;
–  do not use them when the wind- screen or rear screen are dry;
–  free them from the windscreen or  rear screen when they have not 
been used for a long time.
– 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.
They should be replaced as soon 
as they become less efficient: ap-
proximately once a year.
When changing the blade, when it 
has been removed, do not let the 
wiper arm fall against the window: 
risk of breaking the window.
To refit
To refit the wiper blade  1, insert it in its 
housing in the arm  2, then clip it until 
you hear a click. Make sure that the 
blade is correctly locked in position.
For vehicles equipped with the auto-
matic windscreen wiper function, lift the 
windscreen wiper stalk fully: the front 
windscreen wiper blades will settle 
down onto the bonnet.
Replacing windscreen wiper 
blades 1
With the ignition on and the engine  stopped:
–  for vehicles equipped with the au- tomatic windscreen wiper function, 
lower the windscreen wiper stalk 
fully: they stop slightly away from the 
bonnet;
–  lift the wiper arm 2;
–  press the button firmly 3 then remove  the blade  1.
