WARNING:

Do not adjust the heater and air conditioner
controls or audio controls while driving so
that full attention may be given to vehicle
operation.

If you noticed any foreign objects entering
the system hardware, spilled liquid on the
system, or noticed smoke or fumes coming
out from the system, or any other unusual
operation is observed, stop using the system
immediately and contact the nearest RE-
NAULT dealer. Ignoring such conditions may
lead to an accident, fire or electric shock.

WARNING:

The heater and air conditioner operate only
when the engine is running.

Never leave children or adults who would
normally require the support of others alone
in the vehicle. Pets should not be left alone
either. They could unknowingly activate
switches or controls and inadvertently be-
come involved in a serious accident and
injure themselves. On hot, sunny days,
temperatures in a closed vehicle could
quickly become high enough to cause se-
vere or possibly fatal injuries to people or
animals.

Do not use the recirculation mode for long
periods as it may cause the interior air to
become stale and the windows to fog up.

Do not adjust the heating and air condition-
ing controls while driving so that full atten-
tion may be given to vehicle operation.

The heater and air conditioner operate when the
engine is running. The air blower will operate when the
ignition switch is in the “ON” position even if the
engine is turned off.

NOTE:
.

Odors from inside and outside the vehicle
can build up in the air conditioner unit. Odor
can enter the passenger compartment
through the vents.

When parking, set the heater and air condi-
tioner controls to turn off air recirculation to
allow fresh air into the passenger compart-
ment. This should help reduce odors inside
the vehicle.

For model with Idling Stop System (if equipped
for Thailand):

When the air conditioner or rear defogger (if equipped)
is turned on, the Idling Stop System will not be
activated.

For model with Stop/Start System (if equipped
for Europe):

The Stop/Start System will not stop the engine under
the following conditions:

The front defogger mode is on. (automatic air
conditioner)

The air flow control dial is in the front defogger
position. (manual air conditioner)

The rear window defogger mode is on.

While the engine is stopped by the Stop/Start System,
taking one of the following actions will automatically
start the engine:
.

Turn the front defogger mode on. (automatic air
conditioner)

Turn the air flow control dial to the front defogger
position. (manual air conditioner)

Turn the rear window defogger mode on.

Compact Disc with MP3 or WMA (if
equipped)

Explanation of terms:
.

MP3 — MP3 is short for Moving Pictures Experts
Group Audio Layer 3. MP3 is the most well known
compressed digital audio file format. This format
allows for near “CD quality” sound, but at a
fraction of the size of normal audio files. MP3
conversion of an audio track from CD can reduce
the file size by approximately 10:1 ratio (Sampling:
44.1 kHz, Bit rate: 128 kbps) with virtually no
perceptible loss in quality. MP3 compression
removes the redundant and irrelevant parts of a
sound signal that the human ear doesn’t hear.

WMA — Windows Media Audio (WMA) is a
compressed audio format created by Microsoft as
an alternative to MP3. The WMA codec offers
greater file compression than the MP3 codec,
enabling storage of more digital audio tracks in the
same amount of space when compared to MP3s

at the same level of quality.

Bit rate — Bit rate denotes the number of bits per
second used by a digital music files. The size and
quality of a compressed digital audio file is
determined by the bit rate used when encoding
the file.

Sampling frequency — The rate at which the
samples of a signal are converted from analog to
digital (A/D conversion) per second.

Multisession — Multisession is one of the methods
for writing data to media. Writing data once to the
media is called a single session, and writing more
than once is called a multisession.

ID3/WMA Tag — The ID3/WMA tag is the part of
the encoded MP3 or WMA file that contains
information about the digital music file such as
song title, artist, album title, encoding bit rate,
track time duration, etc. ID3 tag information is
displayed on the Album/Artist/Song title line on
the display.

Troubleshooting guide (model with type A, B, C, D, E, F audio unit):

Symptom

Cause and Countermeasure

Cannot play

Check if the disc was inserted correctly.
Check if the disc is scratched or dirty.
Check if there is condensation inside the player, and if there is, wait until the condensation is gone (about 1 hour) before using the
player.
If there is a temperature increase error, the CD player will play correctly after it returns to the normal temperature.
If there is a mixture of music CD files (CD-DA data), MP3/WMA files on a CD, only the music CD files (CD-DA data) will be played.
Files with extensions other than “.MP3”, “.WMA”, “.mp3” or “.wma” cannot be played. In addition, the character codes and number of
characters for folder names and file names should be in compliance with the specifications.
Check if the disc or the file is generated in an irregular format. This may occur depending on the variation or the setting of MP3/WMA
writing applications or other text editing applications.
Check if the finalization process, such as session close and disc close, is done for the disc.
Check if the disc is protected by copyright.

Poor sound quality

Check if the disc is scratched or dirty.

It takes a relatively long time before
the music starts playing.

If there are many folder or file levels on the MP3/WMA disc, or if it is a multisession disc, some time may be required before the music
starts playing.

Music cuts off or skips

The writing software and hardware combination might not match, or the writing speed, writing depth, writing width, etc., might not
match the specifications. Try using the slowest writing speed.

Skipping with high bit rate files

Skipping may occur with large quantities of data, such as for high bit rate data.

Move immediately to the next song
when playing.

When a non-MP3/WMA file has been given an extension of “.MP3”, “.WMA”, “.mp3, “.wma”, or when play is prohibited by copyright
protection, there will be approximately 5 seconds of no sound and then the player will skip to the next song.

The songs do not play back in the
desired order.

The playback order is the order in which the files were written by the writing software, so the files might not play in the desired order.
