Renault Clio: Air conditioning: information and advice on use
Renault Clio IV (2014-2019) Owners Manual / Your comfort / Air conditioning: information and advice on use
Advice on use
In some situations, (air conditioning off, air recirculation activated, ventilation speed at zero or low, etc.) you may notice that condensation starts to form on the windows and windscreen.
If there is condensation, use the “Clear View” function to remove it, then use the air conditioning in automatic mode to stop it forming again.
Fuel consumption
You will normally notice an increase in fuel consumption (especially in town) when the air conditioning is operating.
For vehicles fitted with air conditioning with no automatic mode, switch off the system when it is not required.
Advice for reducing consumption and helping to preserve the environment 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 Document for your vehicle for the inspection frequency.
Operating faults
As a general rule, contact your approved dealer in the event of an operating fault.
- Reduction in de-icing, demisting
or air conditioning performance.
This may be caused by the passenger compartment filter cartridge 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 system, it is normal for water to be present under the vehicle. This is caused by condensation.
| Do not open the refrigerant fluid circuit. The fluid may damage eyes or skin. |
