you can however still feel a slight flow

of air when the vehicle is moving.

Switching the air

recirculation on

Adjusting the ventilation

speed

Turn control 2 clockwise to increase the

air flow in the passenger compartment.

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.

Press button 6: the integrated indicator

light comes on.

Prolonged use of air recirculation

can lead to condensation form-

ing on the side windows and wind-

screen, and discomfort due to the

use of non-renewed air in the pas-

senger 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.

Under these conditions, air is taken

from the passenger compartment and

is recirculated, with no air being taken

from outside the vehicle.

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.

The de-icing function cannot be used with the air recirculation mode to avoid any risk of condensation forming on the wind-

screen and triggers the air conditioning and the integrated indicator light 3 to come on.

ture to the driver’s temperature.

– one of either button 2, 3 or 4.

You can still adjust the ventilation speed

by pressing buttons 12 to increase or

reduce the ventilation speed.

Special note: the highest and lowest

settings allow the system to produce

maximum hot or cold temperature

levels (“LO” and “HI” on display 13).

In this case, the ventilation speed,

which is no longer controlled automat-

ically, appears in zone A on the dis-

play 13.

Some buttons have an operating

tell-tale which indicates the operat-

ing status.

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.

In automatic mode, the system switches

the air conditioning system on or off,

depending on the climate conditions.

Press switch 8 to switch off the air

conditioning; the integrated indicator

comes on and “AC OFF” is shown on

the display 13.

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, indicator light for button 3

Note:

– during recirculation, air is taken from

the passenger compartment and

is recycled, with no air being taken

from outside the vehicle;

– air recirculation allows the external

atmosphere to be cut off (when driv-

ing in polluted areas, etc.);

– lowering the passenger compart-

ment temperature as quickly as pos-

Manual use

Stopping the system

Pressing button 11 allows air recircula-

tion to be forced, in this case, the inte-

grated indicator comes on.

Press button 7 to switch off the system;

in this case “OFF” is shown on the dis-

play 13. To switch the system on, press

one of the 2, 3 or 4 switches.

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 au-

tomatic mode as soon as the air recir-

culation function is no longer required,

by pressing button 11 again.

The demisting/de-icing will still take

priority over the air recirculation.

AIR coNDITIoNINg: information and advice on use

Advice on use

In some situations, (air conditioning

operating faults

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.

Fuel consumption

As a general rule, contact your ap-

proved Dealer in the event of an op-

erating fault:

You will normally notice an increase

in fuel consumption (especially

when driving in town) when the air

conditioning is operating.

– reduction in de-icing, demist-

ing or air conditioning perform-

ance. This may be caused by the

passenger compartment filter

cartridge becoming clogged;

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.

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:

– no cold air is being produced.

Check that the controls are set

correctly and that the fuses are

sound. Otherwise, switch off the

system.

Drive with the air vents open and

the windows closed.

Note

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.

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 ve-

hicle. This is caused by condensa-

tion.

Maintenance

Refer to the Maintenance Service

Booklet for your vehicle for the in-

spection frequency.

Do not open the refriger-

ant fluid circuit. The fluid

may damage eyes or skin.

3.11

ElEcTRIc wINDowS/ElEcTRIc PANoRAMIc SuNRooF (1/3)

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.

From the driver’s seat, use switch:

1 for the driver’s side;

2 for the front passenger 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 windows

Press 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. It either operates on

the front windows only, or on all the win-

dows.

Briefly press or pull the window switch

fully: the window is fully lowered or

raised. Pressing the switch again stops

the window moving.

Risk of serious injury.

Avoid resting any objects against

a half-open window: there is a risk

that the electric window could be

damaged.

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.

Closing windows can cause

serious injury.

Contact your approved Dealer for

details of possible conversions.

If the vehicle is equipped

with this function, this action

will activate deadlocking.

Important: during this operation,

the sunroof anti-pinch facility is de-

activated. Contact your approved

dealer as soon as possible.

Check that there is no-one

still inside the vehicle
