Air Recirculation - Renault FLUENCE Handbook

AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL

Air recirculation

This function is managed automati-
cally (operation is confirmed by warn-
ing light 14 on display 13), but you can
also activate it manually.
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.);
– lowering the passenger compart-
ment temperature as quickly as pos-
sible.
Automatic use
The system determines whether or not
the air recycling function is used, based
on the quality of the outside air.
The selection is confirmed by the ap-
pearance of one of the following warn-
ing lights on the instrument panel (for
the cleanest and the least clean air re-
spectively):

Manual use
Pressing button 11 allows air recircula-
tionto be forced, in which case the in-
tegratedwarning light comes on as well
as warning light 14.
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 11 again.

Stopping the system
Press button 7 to switch off the system;
in this case "OFF" is shown on the dis-
play 13. To switch the system on, press
one of the 2, 3 or 4 switches.
The demisting/de-icing will still take
priority over the air recirculation.
