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.

Distribution of air in the
passenger compartment
Turn control A.
WClose the dashboard vents
for more effective demisting.
All the air is then directed to the wind -
screen and front side window demister
outlets.
iThe air flow is distributed be -
tween all the air vents, the
front side window demisting vents, the
windscreen demisting vents and the
footwells.
FThe air flow is directed mainly
towards the footwells.

button B , the operating tell-tale for the
button will come on.
This function permits rapid demisting/
de-icing of the rear screen and de-icing
of the door mirrors (on equipped vehi -
cles).
To exit this function, press button B
again.
Demisting automatically stops by de -
fault.
Adjusting the ventilation
speed
Turn control C from 0 to 4.
The passenger compartment is ven -
tilated by blown air. The blower deter -
mines how much air enters but vehicle
speed has a slight effect on this.
The further the control is positioned to
the right, the greater the amount of air
blown into the passenger compartment.

Air recirculation operation
(isolation of the passenger
compartment)
Turn control D towards air recirculation
symbol
â.
In these conditions air is taken from the
passenger compartment and is recircu-
lated, with no air being taken from out-
side the vehicle. Air recirculation is for:
–
isolating the vehicle from the exter -
nal atmosphere (driving in polluted
areas, etc.);
– bringing the passenger compartment
to the desired temperature as quickly
as possible.
Prolonged use of this position (iso -
lation mode) may mist up the win -
dows slightly or cause odours due
to the air not being renewed.
It is therefore advisable to return to
normal operation (external air) by
pressing control D when you have
passed through the polluted area.

Air conditioning controls
Button E switches the air conditioning
on or off.
The system cannot be switched on if
control C is set to 0.
Using the air conditioning system ena-
bles you to:
– lower the internal passenger com -
partment temperature, especially in
hot weather, when driving in traffic or
when the vehicle has been parked in
the sun;
– reduce the humidity of the air blown
into the passenger compartment (re-
moval of condensation).
Fuel consumption increases when the
air conditioning system is being used
(switch it off when it is not required). Note: The air conditioning may be used
in all conditions but does not operate
when the external temperature is low.
–
Button E not activated (indicator
integrated into the button not illu -
minated).
The air conditioning is not operating.
The heating and ventilation controls
are the same as a vehicle without air
conditioning.
– Button E activated (indicator in -
tegrated into the button illumi -
nated).
The air conditioning is operating.

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.
