AIR CONDITIONING: information and advice on use
Fuel consumption
It is normal to notice an increase
in fuel consumption (especially in
towns) when the air conditioning is
operating. For vehicles fitted with
manual air conditioning, switch off
the system when it is not required.
In order to minimise consump-
tion and help to protect the
environment, it is recommended to
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 per-
formance.
This may be caused by the pas-
senger compartment filter car-
tridge 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, it is normal to see
condensation collecting beneath
the vehicle.
