AUTOMATIC GEARBOX (2/3)
An impact to the under-
side of the vehicle while
manoeuvring (e.g.: stri-
king a post, raised kerb or
other street furniture) may result in
damage to the vehicle (e.g.: defor-
mation of an axle).
To avoid any risk of accident, have
your vehicle checked by an appro-
ved Dealer.
In very cold weather, the system
may prevent the gears from being
shifted in manual mode until the
gearbox reaches the right tempera-
ture.
Driving in manual mode
With the selector lever in position D,
move the lever to the left. Shifting the
lever repeatedly allows you to change
gears manually:
– To move down through the gears, push the lever backwards;
– To move up through the gears, push the lever forwards.
The gear selected is displayed on the
instrument panel.
Special cases
Under certain driving conditions (e.g.
engine protection, or electronic stability
program (ESP) operational etc.): the
automatic system may change gear au-
tomatically.
Likewise, to prevent incorrect ma-
noeuvres, a gear change may be re-
fused by the automatic system: in this
case the gear display flashes for a few
seconds as a warning.
Special circumstances
– If the road contours and bends
do not allow you to stay in automa-
tic mode (e.g.: in the mountains),
we recommend that you change to
manual mode.
This will prevent the automatic gear-
box from changing gears repeatedly
when climbing, and permit engine
braking on long descents.
– In cold weather, to prevent the
engine from stalling, wait a few mo-
ments before shifting the selector
lever from position P or N and enga-
ging D or R.
Parking the vehicle
When the vehicle is stopped, move the
lever to position P while keeping your
foot on the brake pedal: the gearbox is
in neutral and the drive wheels are me-
chanically locked by the driveshaft.
Apply the handbrake or, depending
on the vehicle, ensure that the elec-
tronic parking brake is applied.

Adjusting the ventilation
speed
Turn control 2 clockwise to increase the
air flow in the passenger compartment.
Passenger compartment ventilation
is referred to as “blown air”. The ven-
tilation fan determines the air flow.
However, it is also affected by the ve-
hicle speed.
“OFF" position:
The system is deactivated: the ventila-
tion speed is zero (vehicle stationary).
You can, however, still feel a slight flow
of air when the vehicle is moving.
Recommended demisting option:
Turn controls 1, 2 and 4 to the
W
position. This is the quickest option for
de-icing and demisting the side win-
dows and the windscreen.
Switching the air
recirculation on
Press button 6: the integrated indicator
light comes on.
Under these conditions, air is taken
from the passenger compartment and
is recirculated, with no air being taken
from outside the vehicle.
MANUAL AIR CONDITIONING (2/2)

Positions W and i disable
the air recirculation function to avoid
any risk of condensation forming on
the windscreen, and trigger the air
conditioning and integrated indica-
tor light 3 to come on.
Air recirculation is for:
– isolating the vehicle from the exter- nal atmosphere (driving in polluted
areas, etc.);
– lowering the passenger compart- ment temperature as quickly as pos-
sible.
Prolonged use of air recirculation can lead to condensation forming on t\
he side
windows and windscreen, and discomfort due to the use of non-renewed air\
in
the passenger compartment.
We therefore advise you to return to normal mode (external air) as soon\
as the air
recirculation function is no longer required, by pressing the button 6 again.

3.7
AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL (2/5)
Varying the ventilation speed
In automatic mode, the system uses
the most suitable amount of air to reach
and maintain the desired comfort level.
You can still adjust the fan speed by
pressing the buttons 13 to increase or
reduce the fan speed.
In this case, the fan speed, which is
no longer controlled automatically, ap-
pears in zone A on the display 12.
Some buttons have an operating
tell-tale which indicates the operat-
ing status.

Temperature adjustment
Press button 1 or 6 to raise or lower the
left-hand 1 or right-hand 6 temperature.
Pressing button 3 for more than two
seconds sets the passenger tempera-
ture to the driver’s temperature.
Special note: The highest and lowest
settings allow the system to produce
maximum hot or cold temperature
levels (“LO” and “HI” indicated on the
multimedia display 12).

Clear View function
Press button 10: the integrated indica-
tor light comes on.
This function quickly demists and de-
ices the windscreen, the rear screen,
the front side windows, and the door
mirrors (depending on the vehicle). The
air conditioning and rear screen de-ic-
ing functions must be activated.
Press button 9 to stop the heated rear
screen operating; the integrated indica-
tor goes out.
You can change the fan speed: press
the button 13.
To exit this function, press:
– button 10 again,
– one of either button 2, 3 or 4.

The displayed temperature values
show a comfort level.
When starting the engine, increas-
ing or decreasing the value dis-
played 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 the switch 8 to switch off the air conditioning; the integrated indicator
comes on and “AC OFF” is shown on
the display 12.

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.

3.14
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 an approved
Dealer.
Electric sunroof
If the roof does not close, turn button 7
to the 0 position, then press button 8
until the roof is fully closed: consult an
approved Dealer.
ELECTRIC WINDOWS/ELECTRIC SUNROOF (3/3)
Closing windows can cause
serious injury.
If the vehicle is equipped
with this function, this action
will activate deadlocking.
Check that there is no-one
still inside the vehicle
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 an approved Dealer for de-
tails of possible conversions.
Important: during this operation,
the sunroof anti-pinch facility is de-
activated. Contact your approved
dealer as soon as possible.
Remote control window
closing
(vehicles with 4 one-touch electric win-
dows).
When you lock the doors from the out-
side, press the locking button on the
RENAULT card twice in quick suc-
cession, or on the driver's door in
hands-free mode, and all the windows
will close automatically.
It is recommended that the user only
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.
