Renault Megane Coupe (2016 year). Manual - part 10

3.10

Manual use
Pressing button 11 allows air recircula-

tion to be forced, in which case the in-

tegrated warning 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 the button 7 to switch off the

system; in this case “OFF” is shown on

the display 12. To switch the system on,

press one of switches 2, 3 or 4.

Recycling

This function is managed automati-

cally (operation is confirmed by warn-

ing light 14 on display 12), 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 dri-

ving in polluted areas, etc.);

– lowering the passenger compart-

ment temperature as quickly as pos-

sible.

AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL

(5/5)

The demisting/de-icing will still take

priority over the air recirculation.

3.11

AIR CONDITIONING: information and advice on use

Fuel consumption
You will normally notice an increase

in fuel consumption (especially

when driving 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 and therefore

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 ap-

proved Dealer in the event of an op-

erating fault:
– reduction in de-icing, demist-

ing or air conditioning per-

formance. 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.

Advice on use
In some situations, (air conditioning

off, air recirculation activated, venti-

lation speed at zero or low, etc.) you

may notice that condensation starts

to form on the windows and wind-

screen.
If there is condensation, use the

“Clear View” function to remove it,

then use the air conditioning in auto-

matic mode to stop it forming again.

If the condensation does not clear,

use the FAST programme.

Do not open the refriger-

ant fluid circuit. The fluid

may damage eyes or skin.

Note
Presence of water under the ve-

hicle. After prolonged use of the air

conditioning system, it is normal for

water to be present under the vehi-

cle. This is caused by condensation.

3.12

These systems operate with the igni-

tion on or off, until one of the front doors

is opened (limited to about 3 minutes).

From the driver’s seat, use switch:

1 for the driver’s side;

2 for the front passenger side;

3 and 5 for the rear passenger win-

dows.

From the passenger seats, use

switch 6.

Note: if the window detects resistance

when closing (e.g.: fingers, branch of

a tree, etc.) it stops and then lowers

again by a few centimetres.

ELECTRIC WINDOWS, ELECTRIC SUNROOF

(1/3)

Electric windows

Press or pull the switch to raise or lower

a window to the desired height (the rear

windows do not open fully);

One-touch mode

This mode works in addition to the

operation of the electric windows de-

scribed previously. It either operates on

the front windows only, or on all the win-

dows.

Briefly press or pull the window switch

fully: the window is fully lowered or

raised. Pressing the switch again stops

the window moving.

Avoid resting any objects against

a half-open window: there is a risk

that the electric window could be

damaged.

Safety of rear occupants

The driver can disable op-

eration of the electric win-

dows and, depending on

the vehicle, the rear doors, by

pressing switch 4. The indicator light

integrated in the switch lights up to

confirm that the locks have been ac-

tivated.

Driver’s responsibility

Never leave your vehicle with the

RENAULT card inside and never

leave a child (or a pet) unsuper-

vised, even for a short while. They

may pose a risk to themselves or to

others by starting the engine, acti-

vating equipment such as the elec-

tric windows or by locking the doors.

If any part of the body becomes

trapped, reverse the direction of the

window immediately by pressing the

relevant switch.

Risk of serious injury.

ELECTRIC WINDOWS, ELECTRIC SUNROOF

(2/3)

Sunroof

– Open the sun blind
– To open slightly: turn button 9 to

position A;

– To open fully: turn button 9 to po-

sition B, C or D, depending on the

opening position required;

– To close: turn button 9 to position 0.

and guide the blind as it retracts;

– to close: pull handle 7 until it clicks

into the catch.

Special note

Your vehicle is equipped with an antip-

inch facility: when the sunroof encoun-

ters resistance whilst closing, (some-

body’s fingers, etc.) it stops and then

moves back several centimetres.

Driver’s responsibility
Never leave your vehicle

with the RENAULT card

inside and never leave a

child (or a pet) unsupervised, even

for a short while.
The reason for this is that the child

may endanger himself or others by

starting the engine, activating equip-

ment such as the window winders

for example, or locking the doors.
If a body part gets trapped, reverse

the direction of travel as soon as

possible by turning button 9 fully to

the right (position D).
Risk of serious injury.

Precautions during use

– check that the sunroof is properly

closed before leaving your vehicle;

– clean the seal every three months

using products recommended by our

Technical Department;

– do not open the sunroof immedi-

ately after the vehicle has been in

the rain or after your car has been

washed.

– Vehicle with roof bars

As a general rule, if there is a load

on the roof, use of the sunroof is not

recommended.
Before using the sunroof, check the

objects and/or accessories (bike

racks, roof boxes, etc.) attached to

the roof bars: they should be prop-

erly arranged and secured and

should not interfere with the opera-

tion of the sunroof.
Contact your approved Dealer for

details of possible conversions.

Operating faults

Electric windows

In case of a fault when closing a window,

the system reverts to normal mode:

pull the switch concerned up as often

as necessary to fully close the window

(the window will close gradually), hold

the switch (still on the closure side) for

three seconds then lower and raise the

window fully to reinitialise the system.

If necessary, contact your approved

Dealer.

Electric sunroof

If the roof does not close, turn button 9

to the position 0 and then press button 8

until the roof is fully closed: consult an

approved Dealer.

When you lock the doors from the out-

side, press the locking button on the

RENAULT card twice in quick suc-

cession, or on the driver's door in

hands-free mode, and all the windows

will close automatically.
It is recommended that the user only

operates the system when the vehi-

cle can be seen clearly and no one is

inside.
Note: locking the doors using the

RENAULT card deactivates hands-free

mode.

Closing windows can cause

serious injury.

If the vehicle is equipped

with this function, this action

will activate deadlocking.
Check that there is no-one

still inside the vehicle

Important: during this operation,

the sunroof anti-pinch facility is de-

activated. Contact your approved

dealer as soon as possible.
