The controls Driver?s side 1 Button for switching automatic mode on 2 Air recirculation button for switching on the enforced or automatic recirculation system 3 and?4 Passenger compartment air temperature adjustment buttons Buttons?1, ?2, ?5, ?8 and?11 have operating tell-tales: ? if the indicator light is on, the function is switched on; ? if the indicator light is off, the function is switched off. 3. 12 AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL (continued) 12 13 17 15 14 16 Front passenger side 12 Front passenger control panel display 13 and?14 Passenger compartment air temperature adjustment buttons Rear passenger sides 15 Rear passenger control panel display 16 and?17 Ventilation speed adjustment buttons 3. 13 AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL (continued) 1 A 12 15 7 Automatic mode Press button 1. The system controls: ? ventilation speed; ? air distribution; ? air recirculation management; ? air conditioning (on or off); ? the temperature of the blown air to the right and left. Automatic mode is the recommended mode of use The automatic climate control system guarantees comfort in the passenger compartment and good visibility (except in the event of extreme conditions), while optimising consumption. The types of adjustments that can be made are described in the following pages. Return to automatic mode as soon as possible. The operating tell-tales, along with the information shown on displays?7, ?12 and?15 inform you which system has been chosen and its settings. 3. 14 AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL (continued) 12 3 13 If the maximum temperature settings are identical on both the passenger and driver sides, changing the temperature setting on one of the controls can lead to a forced air temperature variation on the side where the control is still set at the maximum temperature. When the external temperature is lower than 2C, it is normal for the system not to work. 4 14 7 There are two ways of using it: ? by using just buttons?3 and?4 on the driver?s side, you can adjust the comfort level for the entire passenger compartment; the temperatures shown on displays?7 and?12 are always the same; ? by using buttons?13 and?14, you can adjust the comfort level independently for the left and the right-hand sides. Buttons?3 and?4 adjust the comfort level on the driver?s side, buttons?13 and?14 adjust the comfort level on the passenger side. Adjusting the comfort level Driver?s side Press button?3 to increase the temperature. Press button?4 to decrease the temperature. Front passenger side Press button?13 to increase the temperature. Press button?14 to decrease the temperature. The comfort level can be adjusted from 16 to 26C. The maximum and minimum settings of 16C and 26C, both on the left and right-hand sides, allow the system to produce a minimum or maximum temperature, whatever the ambient conditions. 3. 15 AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL (continued) 1 A Note: the temperature displayed on the passenger side will take on the same value as that shown on the driver?s side. Special note The RENAULT card stores the settings selected by the user. It is therefore advisable always to keep the same RENAULT card so that you can find your personal settings. The are two options for enabling the driver to adjust the comfort level in the entire passenger compartment again: ? automatically, after the ignition has been switched off for at least 20 minutes; ? manually, by pressing and holding the AUTO button 1 until operating tell-tale A starts flashing, even if it was already lit. The displayed temperature values show a comfort level. When starting the engine, increasing or decreasing the value displayed will not allow the comfort level to be reached any more quickly. The system will always optimise the temperature increase or decrease (the ventilation system does not start instantly at maximum speed: it gradually increases). Generally speaking, unless there is a particular reason not to, the dashboard air vents should remain open. 3. 16 AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL (continued) 15 17 B To inhibit the air flow from the rear seat air vents, press button16 until the last bar on indicatorB goes out. To return to normal ventilation speed (the minimum speed adjustment as defined by the system) in the rear seats, there are two options: ? after switching off the ignition; ? by pressing and holding the AUTO button 1 until operating tell-tale A starts flashing (even if it was already lit). Special note Depending on the vehicle, when the ?child safety?switch is activated (indicator light on the switch is on), the rear heating and ventilation controls are deactivated. The last red bar on indicator B comes on and the ventilation speed in the rear is at the minimum speed setting as defined by the system. B 16 Adjusting the ventilation speed in the rear seats (depending on vehicle) The controls on each of the rear doors allow the ventilation speed of the air vents to be adjusted for the rear passengers. Indicator B, made up of several bars which light up, shows the requested ventilation speed. Press button?17 to increase the ventilation speed.
