Altering automatic mode

(automatic mode) (continued)

The automatic mode is the normal

operating mode of the system but

you may alter the selections made

by the system (air distribution, etc.).

These options are explained on the

following pages.

Operation

To obtain and maintain the

temperature selected and good

visibility, the system controls:

- ventilation speed,

- the distribution of air,

- the air recirculation management,

- starting or stopping the air

conditioning,

- the air temperature.

The values displayed are the air

temperature setting.

When the vehicle is started in cold

or hot weather, increasing or

decreasing the values displayed

does not mean that the temperature

is reached more quickly, whatever

the indicated temperature may be,

the system optimises the increase

or decrease in temperature (the

ventilation system does not start

instantly at maximum speed: it

gradually increases until the engine

temperature is sufficient, which

may take from a few seconds to

several minutes).

Air recirculation mode

Pressing button 14 activates air

recirculation (the symbol lights up

on the display).

Prolonged use of this function may

lead to odours caused by

non-renewal of air and the

formation of condensation on the

windows.

During recirculation, air is taken

from the passenger compartment

and is recycled, with no air being

taken from outside the vehicle.

We therefore advise you to return to

normal mode (external air or

automatic recirculation) as soon as

air recirculation is no longer

needed, by pressing button 14.

Air recirculation allows the external

atmosphere to be isolated (when

driving in polluted areas, etc.).

3.15

AIR CONDITIONING: information and operating advice

Fuel consumption

Maintenance

You will normally notice an

increase in fuel consumption

(especially in town) when the air

conditioning is operating.

Refer to the maintenance service

booklet for your vehicle for the

replacement frequency.

Operating faults

Switch off the air conditioning

when it is not required on vehicles

fitted with manual air conditioning.

Generally, in the event of an

operation fault, consult your

RENAULT Dealer.

Some

advice

for

reducing

- Reduction in de-icing, demisting

or air conditioning performance.

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.

- Presence of water under the

vehicle. After prolonged use of

the air conditioning system, it is

normal for water to be present

under the vehicle. This is caused

by condensation.

consumption and therefore helping

to preserve the environment:

It is advisable to drive with the

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.

Do not open the refrigerant fluid

circuit. The fluid may damage the

eyes or skin.
