AIR CONDITIONING: information and operating advice
Fuel consumption
You will normally notice an
increase in fuel consumption
(especially 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
which helps to conserve the
environment:
It is advisable to drive with the
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 Warranty and Services
booklet for your vehicle for
maintenance intervals.
Operating faults
Generally, in the event of an
operating fault, consult your
RENAULT Dealer.
- Reduction in de-icing, demisting
or air conditioning performance.
This may be caused by the
passenger compartment filter
element 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.
- Water under the vehicle. After
prolonged use of the air
conditioning system, it is normal
for to find water under the
vehicle. This is caused by
condensation.
Do not open the refrigerant fluid
circuit. The fluid may damage the
eyes or skin.
Vehicles fitted with an auxiliary
heater
Some vehicles are fitted with an
auxiliary heater which heats the
passenger compartment more
quickly.
This device operates only when the
engine is running and in cold
weather.
When the device is functioning you
can normally see a small amount of
smoke on the right-hand side of the
vehicle coming from the heater’s
exhaust system.
