[. . . ] CLIO DRIVER’S HANDBOOK RENAULT recommends ELF ELF has developed a complete range of lubricants for RENAULT: engine oils manual and automatic gearbox oils Warning: to ensure the engine operates optimally, the use of a lubricant may be restricted to certain vehicles. Please refer to your maintenance document. Benefiting from the research applied to Formula 1, lubricants are very high-tech products. Updated with the help of RENAULT’s technical teams, this range is perfectly compatible with the specific features of the brand’s vehicles. ELF lubricants enhance your vehicle’s performance significantly. Photo credit: Total/DPPI Imacom group RENAULT recommends approved ELF lubricants for oil changes and top-ups. [. . . ] The air flow is directed mainly towards the footwells. The air flow is directed mainly towards all the air vents and the passenger footwells. This is the recommended position for the best temperature in hot weather. Distribution of air in the passenger compartment Turn control A to position the pointer opposite the marked positions. All the air flow is directed to the demisting vents for the windscreen and the side windows. Note: for rapid demisting, use the air conditioning (depending on the vehicle), position controls A,  B and D and adjust the ventilation on speed C to y. The air flow is directed mainly towards all the air vents. W W 3. 5 HEATING, AIR CONDITIONING (3/4) Adjusting the air temperature Turn control B to obtain the desired temperature. The further the pointer is in the red, the more the temperature will be increased. B C Switching air conditioning on or off The air conditioning is switched on (indicator light illuminated) or off (indicator light extinguished) using button F. The air conditioning system is used for: – lowering the temperature inside the passenger compartment; – eliminating condensation more quickly. The air conditioning does not operate when the exterior temperature is low. F Adjusting the ventilation speed Normal use Turn control C to one of the four positions to start the ventilation system and adjust the power. Position x In this position: – the air conditioning stops automatically even if button F is activated (the indicator light remains lit); – the ventilation speed of air in the passenger compartment is zero; – there is, however, a slight flow of air when the vehicle is moving. This position should not normally be used. Select position  for minimum ventilation and position y for maximum ventilation. 3. 6 HEATING, AIR CONDITIONING (4/4) Rear screen de-icing/ demisting With the engine running, press button E. The operating tell-tale comes on. D This function permits rapid demisting/ de-icing of the rear screen and de-icing of the door mirrors (on equipped vehicles). To exit this function, press button E again. Demisting automatically stops. E Air recirculation operation (isolation of the passenger compartment) Turn control D towards symbol á: air is taken from the passenger compartment and is recirculated, with no air being taken from outside the vehicle. Air recirculation is for: – isolating the vehicle from the external atmosphere (driving in polluted areas, etc. ); – bringing the passenger compartment to the desired temperature as quickly as possible. Prolonged use of air recirculation can lead to condensation forming on the side windows and windscreen, and discomfort due to the use of non-renewed air in the passenger compartment. We therefore advise you to return to normal mode (external air) as soon as the air recirculation function is no longer required, by turning control D. 3. 7 AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL (1/8) 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 12  Heated rear screen and heated door mirrors (depending on vehicle). 13  Heated rear screen indicator light.
