The passenger compartment is ven -

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.

ENG_NU_865-6_E33_Renault_3
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 vehi -
cles fitted with manual air condition -
ing, 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.
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.
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.
Do not add anything to the
vehicle’s ventilation circuit
(for example, to remove
bad odours).
t here is a risk of damage or of
fire.

Battery
Battery 1 does not require any mainte-
nance.
Battery
Handle the battery with care
as it contains sulphuric acid,
which must not come into
contact with eyes or skin. If
it does, wash the affected area with
plenty of cold water. If necessary,
consult a doctor.
Ensure that naked flames, red hot
objects and sparks do not come into
contact with the battery as there is a
risk of explosion.
BA tteR y
Depending on the vehicle, a system
continuously checks the battery charge
status. If the level drops, the message
“CHARGE BATTERY ” is displayed on
the instrument panel. In this case, start
the engine. The charge status of your
battery can decrease especially if you
use your vehicle:
– for short journeys;
– for driving in town;
– when the temperature drops;
– after extended use of consumers
(radio etc.) with the engine switched
off.
Replacing the battery
As this operation is complex, we advise
you to contact an approved Dealer.
The engine may be hot
during operations in close
proximity. In addition, the
engine cooling fan may
start at any moment.
Risk of injury.

Hubcap
t OOL KIt/WHeeL trIm – WHeeL
The tool kit is located in the luggage
compartment: lift the luggage compart-
ment carpet then unscrew the central
mounting.
The tools included in the tool kit depend
on the vehicle.
Wheelbrace 1
This is used to tighten or release the
wheel bolts.
towing hitch 2
Refer to the information on “Towing” in
Section 5.
Jack 3
When replacing the jack, fold it cor -
rectly and position the wheelbrace cor-
rectly before replacing it in its position.
Hubcap tool 4
This tool is used to remove the wheel
trims.
Do not leave the tools un -
secured inside the vehicle
as they may come loose
under braking. After use,
check that all the tools are correctly
clipped into the tool kit, then position
it correctly in its housing: there is a
risk of injury.
If wheel bolts are supplied in the
tool kit, only use these bolts for the
emergency spare wheel: refer to the
label affixed to the emergency spare
wheel.
The jack is designed for wheel
changing purposes only. Under no
circumstances should it be used for
carrying out repairs underneath the
vehicle or to gain access to the un-
derside of the vehicle.
