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 vehi-
cles fitted with manual air condition-
ing, 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 Service
Booklet for your vehicle for the in-
spection frequency.
Operating faults
As a general rule, contact your
RENAULT Dealer in the event of an
operating fault.
– Reduction in de-icing, demist-
ing or air conditioning perform-
ance. 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.
Do not open the refrigerant fluid
circuit. The fluid may damage eyes
or skin.
