Adjusting the ventilation

speed

Normal use
Pressing on the top or bottom of

button 4 increases or decreases the

ventilation speed: the more blades of

the ventilation fan seen in zone b are

lit, the higher the ventilation speed.
Note: to maintain a comfortable level,

we advise you to use a position be-

tween

3 and 5, half-lit.

Position 0 (ventilation fan in zone b

empty)
the system is deactivated: the ventila-

tion speed for the passenger compart-

ment air is zero (vehicle stationary),

you can however still feel a slight flow

of air when the vehicle is moving.

clear View function

Press button 7: the integrated indicator

light comes on.
This function quickly demists and de-

ices the windscreen, the rear screen,

the front side windows, and the door

mirrors (depending on the vehicle). The

air conditioning and rear screen de-ic-

ing functions must be activated.
Press button 6 to stop the heated rear

screen operating, and the integrated in-

dicator goes out.
To change the ventilation speed: press

button 4.
To exit this function, press button 7

again.

Switching the air

recirculation on

Press air recirculation button 8: the in-

dicator light comes on.
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.);

– lowering the passenger compart-

ment temperature as quickly as pos-

sible.

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

button 8 again.

Automatic mode

The automatic climate control system

guarantees comfort in the passen-

ger compartment and good visibility

(except in the event of extreme condi-

tions), whilst optimising consumption.

The system controls the ventilation

speed, air distribution, air recircula-

tion, and starting and stopping the air

conditioning and air temperature. This

mode consists of a choice of three pro-

grammes:
AuTo: allows the selected comfort

level to be best attained, depending on

the exterior conditions. Press button 3.
SoFT: gently brings the temperature to

the desired comfort level. The comfort

level is then maintained gently and si-

lently. Press button 2.
FAST: emphasises the actions of the

system to reach the desired comfort

level more quickly. Use this programme

when you have passengers in the rear.

Press button 4.

Temperature adjustment

Press either button 1 or 5 to increase

or decrease the temperature. Pressing

button 3 for more than 2 seconds sets

the passenger temperature to the driv-

er’s temperature.
Special note: the highest and lowest

settings allow the system to produce

maximum hot or cold temperature levels

(“LO” and “HI” display on screen 12).

Stopping the system

Press the bottom of button 11 sev-

eral times to stop the system. To start

it, press the top of switch 11 or one of

switches 2, 3 or 4.

(2/4)

The displayed temperature values

show a comfort level.
When starting the engine, increas-

ing or decreasing the value dis-

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.
Generally speaking, unless there is

a particular reason not to, the dash-

board air vents should remain open.

Switching air conditioning on

or off

In automatic mode, the system switches

the air conditioning system on or off,

depending on the climate conditions.
Press button 10 to switch off the air

conditioning.

Varying the ventilation speed

In automatic mode, the system uses

the most suitable amount of air to reach

and maintain the desired comfort level.
You can always adjust the ventilation

speed by pressing on the top or bottom

of button 11 to increase or decrease the

ventilation speed.
In this situation, the ventilation speed,

which is no longer automatically con-

trolled, appears on the display.

Where possible, it is recom-

mended that automatic mode is

used 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 will go out and

the changed function, which is no

longer controlled by the system, is

shown on display 12.
To return to automatic mode, press

Air recirculation

This function is controlled automati-

cally, but it can also be activated manu-

ally.

Automatic operation

Your system is fitted with a sensor which

measures the air on a quality index. it

may therefore decide to activate air re-

circulation,

in this case the integrated

indicator does not come on.

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.).

Manual use
Pressing button 9 allows air recircula-

tion to be activated,

in this case, the

integrated indicator comes on;
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 9 again.

The demisting/de-icing will still take

priority over the air recirculation.
In some situations (high humidity,

etc.) air recirculation is not activated

automatically, to ensure visibility

remains the priority (ventilation is

maintained using air from the out-

side).

In automatic mode (AUTO lit on the

display), all heating and air condi-

tioning functions are controlled by

the system.
When you modify certain functions,

AUTO goes out. Only the modified

function stops being controlled by

the system.

Air conditioning: information and advice on use

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 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:
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.

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.

Advice on use
In some situations, (air conditioning

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.
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.

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.

These systems operate with the igni-

tion on or off, until the driver’s door is

opened (limited to about 5 minutes).

Electric windows

Press or pull the switch to raise or lower

a window to the desired height (the rear

windows do not open fully); Operate the

switches as follows:

1 for the driver’s window;

2 for the front passenger window;

3 and 5 for the rear windows.

From the passenger seats, use

one-touch mode

Depending on the vehicle, this mode is

additional to the operation of the elec-

tric windows. It may be fitted to the driv-

er’s window only, or to all the windows.

Briefly press or pull (fully) the window

switch: the window is fully lowered or

raised. Pressing the switch again stops

the window moving.
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.

Avoid resting any objects against a

half-open window: there is a risk that

the electric window winder could be

damaged.

Safety of rear occupants

Depending on the vehicle,

the driver can disable op-

eration of the electric win-

dows and the rear doors by press-

ing switch 4. The indicator light

integrated in the switch lights up to

confirm that the locks have been ac-

tivated.

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. The

reason for this is that the child may

endanger himself or others by start-

ing the engine, activating equipment

such as the electric window, or lock-

ing the doors. If any part of the body

becomes trapped, reverse the di-

rection of the window immediately

by pressing the relevant switch.

Precautions during use

– check that the sunroof is properly

closed before leaving your vehicle;

– clean the seal every three months

using products recommended by our

Technical Department;

– do not open the sunroof immedi-

ately after the vehicle has been in

the rain or after your car has been

washed.

– Vehicle with roof bars

As a general rule, if there is a load

on the roof, use of the sunroof is not

recommended.
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.
Contact an approved Dealer for de-

tails of possible conversions.
