compartment

A

B

C

O Normal use

Move control C from

(position 1) to 4.

Ventilation in the passenger

compartment is by “blown air”.

The ventilation fan determines

the amount of inlet air. The

vehicle speed has a slight effect

on this.

This principle improves the

stability of the passenger

compartment air temperature.

O

Temporary isolation of the

passenger compartment

Move control C from

(position 1) to 4.

The further the control is

positioned to the right, the

greater the quantity of air blown

into the passenger compartment.

The air recycling position allows

you to isolate yourself from the

external atmosphere (when driving

in polluted areas, etc.).

Air recycling allows the desired

temperature to be achieved as

quickly as possible.

Position O

In this position:

Prolonged use of this position

(recycled air) may mist or ice up the

windows slightly or cause odours

due to the air not being renewed.

- The ventilation speed of air

supplied to the passenger

compartment is zero;

- there is, however, a slight flow

of air when the vehicle is

moving.

This switches the air recycling

system on or off.

Normal operation of the heating

and ventilation system is

obtained using external air.

It is advisable therefore to return to

normal operation (external air) by

adjusting control C when you have

passed through the polluted area.

To alter this setting, move control

C to the

setting or higher.

AIR CONDITIONING (continued)

• Position

B

Close the dashboard vents for more

effective demisting.

All the air is directed to the

windscreen and front side window

demisting vents.

In this position, if the air

conditioning is switched on at the

same time demisting may be more

effective.

light D extinguished)

The air conditioning is not

Heating and ventilation are

therefore identical to that of a

vehicle without air conditioning.

compartment

temperature,

especially in hot weather, when

driving in traffic or when the

vehicle has been parked in the

sun;

• reduces the humidity of the air

blown inside the passenger

compartment (prevents misting).

E

Check that the controls are set

correctly and that the fuses are in

good condition. If both these points

are correct, switch off the system

(warning light D extinguished) and

consult a Renault Dealer.

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.

When the air conditioning is

operating, all the windows must be

closed to give the best efficiency.

If there is an operating fault, contact

your Renault Dealer.

Use the Isolation of the passenger

compartment function E to lower

the temperature as quickly as

possible to the required level.

Switch off the air recirculation

function once a comfortable level

has been reached.

Do not open the circuit as

the refrigerant is harmful

to the eyes and skin.
