The displayed temperature values
show a comfort level.
When starting the engine, in-
creasing or decreasing the value
displayed 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.

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.

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 dri-
ving 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 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.

ELECTRIC WINDOWS/ELECTRIC SUNROOF (1/4)
These systems operate with the igni-
tion on or off, until one of the front doors
is opened (limited to about 3 minutes).
Safety of rear occupants
The driver can disable operation of the electric windows 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 a\
c-
tivated.
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 them-
selves or to others by starting the engine, activating equipment such as\
the elec-
tric windows or by locking the doors. If any part of the body becomes tr\
apped,
reverse the direction of the window immediately by pressing the relevant\
switch.
Risk of serious injury.

ELECTRIC WINDOWS/ELECTRIC SUNROOF (2/4)
Electric windows
Press 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 ope-
ration of the electric windows descri-
bed previously. It either operates on the
front windows only, or on all the win-
dows.
Briefly press or pull the window switch
fully: the window is fully lowered or
raised. Pressing the switch again stops
the window moving.
Note: if the window detects resistance
when closing (e.g. tree branch, etc.), it
stops and then lowers again by a few
centimetres.
When closing the windows,
ensure that no part of the
body (arm, hand, etc.) is
protruding from the vehicle.
Risk of serious injury.

Special noteYour vehicle is equipped with an anti-
pinch 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 who is not self-sufficient or a
pet, 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 something gets trapped, reverse
the direction of travel as soon as
possible by turning button 9 fully to
the right (position D).

operates the system when the vehi-
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

Check that there is no-one
still inside the vehicle
Operating faults
Electric windows
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.
Electric sunroof
If the roof does not close, turn button 9
to the position 0 and then press button 8
until the roof is fully closed: consult an
approved Dealer.
Important: during this operation, the
sunroof anti-pinch facility is deac-
tivated. Contact your approved
dealer as soon as possible.
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 immedia-
tely 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 pro-
perly arranged and secured and
should not interfere with the opera-
tion of the sunroof.
Contact your approved Dealer for
details of possible conversions.
