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.
Maintenance
Refer to the Maintenance Document
for your vehicle for the inspection fre-
quency.
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.
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.

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-suffi-
cient or a pet, even for a short while.
They may pose a risk to themselves
or to others by starting the engine
or 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.
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.
Electric windows

a window to the desired height (the rear
windows do not open fully);
From the driver’s seat, use switch:

dows.

switch 6.
These systems operate
with the igni-
tion on or off, until one of the front doors
is opened (limited to about 3 minutes).

Depending on the vehicle, this mode
works in addition to the operation of the
electric windows described previously.

Briefly press or pull switch 1 fully: the
window is fully lowered or raised.
Pressing the switch again stops the
window moving.

sistance when closing (e.g. tree branch,
etc.), it stops and then lowers again by
a few centimetres.

Operating faults
In case of a fault when closing a window,

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
one second then lower and raise the
window fully to reinitialise the system.
If necessary, contact your authorised
dealer.
When closing the windows,
ensure that no part of the
