MANUAL AIR CONDITIONING

(1/3)

Switching air conditioning on

or off

The air conditioning is switched on (in-

dicator light on) or off (indicator light off)

using the control 3.

The air conditioning system is used

for:
– lowering the temperature inside the

passenger compartment;

– eliminating condensation more

quickly.

Indicators

The following indicators are displayed

on the multimedia screen A:
9 Air temperature.
10 Display for Clim ECO mode.
11 Fan speed.
12 Distribution of air in the passenger

compartment.

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.

Switching the air

recirculation on

Press the control 4: the integrated in-

dicator light in the button comes on.

Under these conditions, air is taken

from the passenger compartment and

is recirculated, with no air being taken

from outside the vehicle.

MANUAL AIR CONDITIONING

(2/3)

Prolonged use of air recirculation can lead to condensation forming on the side

windows and windscreen, and discomfort due to the use of non-renewed air in

the passenger 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 control 4 again.

Distribution of air in the

passenger compartment

There are five air distribution options.

Turn control 5 to choose the distribution

option.
The air distribution is displayed on the

multimedia screen.

The air flow is directed to the

windscreen and the front side

window demisting vents.

The air flow is distributed be-

tween all the air vents, the

front side window demisting vents, the

windscreen demisting vents and the

footwells.

The air flow is directed mainly

towards the footwells.

The air flow is directed towards

the dashboard air vents, the

front footwells and, depending on the

vehicle, the second row footwells.

All the air flow is directed to the

dashboard vents.

3.6

Varying the ventilation speed

You can adjust the fan speed by press-

ing the controls 6 or 7 to increase or

reduce the fan speed.

The system is deactivated (OFF): the

ventilation speed is zero (vehicle sta-

tionary).

You may, however, feel a slight flow of

air when the vehicle is moving.

Adjusting the air temperature

Turn control 1 to obtain the desired

temperature. The more bars are dis-

played on the multimedia screen, the

higher the temperature.

When the air conditioning system is

used for long periods, it may begin to

feel cold. To increase the temperature,

turn control 1 to the right.

(except in the event of extreme condi-

tions), while optimising consumption.

The system controls the ventilation

speed, air distribution, air recirculation,

and starting and stopping the air condi-

tioning and air temperature.
This mode consists of a choice of three

programmes:
NORMAL: allows the selected comfort

level to be best attained, depending on

the exterior conditions. Press button 4

or key 9.
SOFT: reaches the desired comfort

level more gently and silently. Press

Operating faults

As a general rule, contact your ap-

proved dealer in the event of an oper-

ating fault.
– Reduction in de-icing, demisting

or air conditioning performance.

This may be caused by the passen-

ger compartment filter cartridge be-

coming clogged.

– No cold air is being produced.

Check that the controls are set cor-

rectly and that the fuses are sound.

Otherwise, switch off the system.

Presence of water under the

vehicle

After prolonged use of the air condi-

tioning system, it is normal for water

to be present under the vehicle. This is

caused by condensation.

AIR CONDITIONING: information and advice on use

Do not open the refriger-

ant fluid circuit. The fluid

may damage eyes or skin.

Fuel consumption

You will normally notice an increase in

fuel consumption (especially in town)

when the air conditioning is operating.
For vehicles fitted with air conditioning

with no automatic mode, switch off the

system when it is not required.
Advice for reducing consumption

and helping to preserve the environ-

ment
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.

Advice on use

In some situations, (air conditioning

off, air recirculation activated, ventila-

tion speed at zero or low, etc.) you may

notice that condensation starts to form

on the windows and windscreen.
If there is condensation, use the “Clear

View” function to remove it, then use

the air conditioning in automatic mode

to stop it forming again.

Maintenance

Refer to the Maintenance Document

for your vehicle for the inspection fre-

quency.

Do not add anything to the

vehicle’s ventilation circuit

(for example, to remove

bad odours).

There is a risk of damage or of

fire.

the electric window winder could be

damaged.

Passenger safety

The driver can prevent the

front and rear passenger

electric windows from op-

erating (and the driver’s window)

by pressing switch 2. A confirmation

message is displayed on the instru-

ment panel.
Driver’s responsibility

Never leave your vehicle with the

RENAULT card or key inside, and

never leave a child, adult who is not
