Conseils antipollution, économies de carburant, conduite (X44 - E33 - Renault)
ENG_NU_952-4_X44_Renault_2
ADvIce: antipollution, fuel economy and driving (3/3)
Advice on use
– Electricity is fuel; switch off all the
electrical components which are
not really needed. however (safety
first), keep your lights on when the
visibility is bad (“see and be seen”).
– Use the air vents. Driving with the
windows open at 60 mph (100 km/h)
will increase fuel con -sumption by
4%.
– When towing a caravan, fit a wind
deflector and adjust it carefully.
– For vehicles fitted with air condi -
tioning , it is normal to observe an
increase in fuel consumption (es -
pecially in city conditions) when
it is used. 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 mo -
ments to let the hot air escape before
starting the engine.
– Never fill the fuel tank right to the
brim to avoid overflow.
– Do not leave an empty roof rack
fitted to the vehicle.
– It is better to fit a trailer for bulky ob-
jects.
– Avoid using the vehicle for door -
to-door calls (short journeys with
long waits in between) because the
engine never reaches its normal op-
erating temperature.
t yres
– An under-inflated tyre increases fuel
consumption.
– The use of non-recommended tyres
can increase fuel consumption.

In very hot weather or when 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.
Use the passenger compartment isola -
tion function to lower the temperature
as quickly as possible to the required
comfort level. Switch off the air recircu-
lation function once a comfortable level
has been reached. When the air conditioning system is op-
erating, all windows must be closed for
maximum efficiency.
If there is an operating fault, contact an
approved dealer.
If no cold air is produced
Check that the controls are set correctly
and that the fuses are sound. If they are
not, switch off the heating and air con-
ditioning system (indicator integrated
into button E) and contact an approved
dealer.
Adjusting the air temperature.
Move control
F to obtain the desired
temperature. The further the control is
in the red, the more the temperature will
be increased.
Do not open the refrigerant
fluid circuit. The fluid may
damage eyes or skin.

Distribution of air in the
passenger compartment
There are five possible combinations
for air distribution, which may be se -
lected by pressing buttons 8 and 10 re-
peatedly. The arrows on display 5 indi-
cate the setting selected:
õAll the air flow is directed to the
demisting vents for the wind -
screen and the side windows.
÷The air flow is directed to the
windscreen and side window
demisting vents, and the passenger
footwells.
ôThe air flow is directed to all
the air vents.
öThe air flow is directed towards
all the air vents and the pas -
senger footwells.
óThe air flow is directed mainly
towards the footwells.
The manual air distribution option
causes the operating tell-tale light
on the display 5 to go out (automatic
mode), but only air distribution is no
longer controlled automatically by
the system.
Press button 6 to return to auto -
matic mode.

With the engine running , press
button 1 , and operating tell-tale 2
comes on.
The AUTO button indicator light (on the
display) goes out. This function rapidly demists/de-ices
the windscreen, the front side windows
and the door mirrors (depending on the
vehicle).
It automatically starts the air condition
-
ing, inhibits recirculation and switches
on the rear screen heating (warning
light 13).
Press button 12 if you do not want the
heated rear screen to be activated;
warning light 13 goes out.
Note: if you wish to reduce the air flow
(which may produce a certain amount
of noise in the passenger compart -
ment), press button 11.
To exit this function, press either:
– button 1 again;
– button 6 (the AUTO indicator light on
the display will light up).126

Air recirculation mode
Pressing button 14 activates air recir -
culation (the symbol lights up on the
display).
During recirculation, air is taken from
the passenger compartment and is re-
cycled, with no air being taken from out-
side the vehicle.
Air recirculation allows the external at-
mosphere to be cut off (when driving in
polluted areas, etc.). 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
normal mode (external air or automatic
recirculation) as soon as air recircula
-
tion is no longer needed, by pressing
button 14.

Air conditioning: information and advice on use
AIR CoNDITIoNINg: information and advice on use
Fuel consumption
It is normal to notice an increase
in fuel consumption (especially in
towns) when the air conditioning is
operating. For vehicles fitted with
manual air conditioning, switch off
the system when it is not required.
In order to minimise consump -
tion and help to protect the en -
vironment, it is recommended to
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.
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.
Do not open the refriger -
ant fluid circuit. The fluid
may damage eyes or skin.
