Renault Trafic (2018 year). Instruction - part 11

3.4

Adjusting the ventilation fan

speed

Turn control 3 from 0 to 4. The further to

the right it is positioned, the more air is

blown into the passenger compartment.

If you want to shut off the flow of air, set

control 3 to 0.

The system is deactivated: the ventila-

tion speed for the passenger compart-

ment air is zero (vehicle stationary),

you can however still feel a slight flow

of air when the vehicle is moving.

Note

Leaving this control in position 0 for

prolonged periods can lead to conden-

sation forming on the side windows and

windscreen and problems due to the

use of non-renewed air in the passen-

ger compartment.

Rapid demisting
Isolation of the passenger compart-

ment/air recirculation deactivated

(warning light integrated in button 4 is

off), put controls 1 and 3 to

po-

sitions.

Using the climate control increases the

speed of demisting.

MANUAL AIR CONDITIONING

(1/4)

Controls

The controls will depend on the vehicle

equipment level.
1  Distribution of air.
2  Switching air conditioning on or off.
3  Adjusting the ventilation fan speed.

isolation mode/air recirculation mode

5 Air temperature adjuster.

Information and advice on use: refer

to information on “Air conditioning: in-

formation and advice on use”.

Adjusting the air temperature

Turn control 5 to obtain the desired

temperature. The further towards the

red the slide is, the higher the tempera-

ture will be.

3.5

MANUAL AIR CONDITIONING

(2/4)

Switching passenger

compartment isolation mode/

air recirculation mode on.

Press button 4 (the warning light comes

on).
Under these conditions, air is taken

from the passenger compartment and

is recirculated, with no air being taken

from outside the vehicle.

Air recirculation is used to:
– to isolate the passenger compart-

ment from the external atmosphere

(e.g. driving in polluted areas, etc.);

– to bring the passenger compartment

to the desired temperature as quickly

as possible.

Rear screen de-icing/

demisting

With the engine running, press

switch 6. The integrated indicator light

comes on.
This function permits rapid demisting/

de-icing of the rear screen and de-icing

of the door mirrors (on equipped vehi-

cles).
To exit the function, press switch 6

again.
Demisting automatically stops.

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

pressing the button 4 again.

3.6

MANUAL AIR CONDITIONING

(3/4)

Distribution of air in the

passenger compartment

Turn control 1 to choose the distribution

option.

All the air flow is directed to the

dashboard vents.

The air flow is directed towards

the dashboard vents and the

footwells.

The air flow is mainly distrib-

uted between the front and

rear footwells and the dashboard vents.

Close the dashboard vents to direct all

the air to the foot wells.

The air flow is distributed be-

tween all the air vents, the

front side window demisting air vents,

the windscreen demisting vents and the

footwells.

All the air is then directed to

the windscreen and front side

window demisting vents.

3.7

The air conditioning system is used

for:
– lower the temperature inside the

passenger compartment;

– eliminate condensation more quickly.
The air conditioning does not operate

when the exterior temperature is low.

tion on “Driving advice, Eco-driving”

in Section 2.

Do not open the refriger-

ant fluid circuit. The fluid

may damage eyes or skin.

3.11

AUTOMATIC CLIMATE CONTROL

(4/4)

Air recirculation (isolation of

the passenger compartment)

This function is managed automatically

(operation is confirmed by a warning

light on button 7), but you can also acti-

vate it manually.

Manual use
Press button 7 – the integrated indica-

tor light comes on.
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 air recircula-

tion is no longer needed, by pressing

button 7.
To exit this function, press button 7

again.

Stopping the system

Turn control 6 to “OFF” to stop the

system. To start, turn control 6 again

to adjust the blower speed or press

button 1.

NB:

– 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 driv-

ing in polluted areas, etc.);

– bringing the passenger compartment

to the desired temperature as quickly

as possible.

The demisting/de-icing will still take

priority over the air recirculation.

3.12

Operating faults

As a general rule, contact your ap-

proved dealer in the event of an oper-

ating fault.
– Reduction in de-icing, demisting

or air conditioning performance.

This may be caused by the passen-

ger compartment filter cartridge be-

coming clogged.

– No cold air is being produced.

Check that the controls are set cor-

rectly and that the fuses are sound.

Otherwise, switch off the system.

Presence of water under the

vehicle

After prolonged use of the air condi-

tioning system, it is normal for water

to be present under the vehicle. This is

caused by condensation.

AIR CONDITIONING: information and operating instructions (1/2)

Do not add anything to the

vehicle’s ventilation circuit

(for example, to remove

bad odours).

There is a risk of damage or of

fire.

Do not open the refriger-

ant fluid circuit. The fluid

may damage eyes or skin.

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 fre-

quency.

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.

Use the air conditioning system reg-

ularly, even in cold weather, running

it at least once a month for approxi-

mately 5 minutes.

Vehicles equipped with

modeECO
Once activated, ECO mode may

reduce air conditioning perform-

ance. Please refer to the informa-

tion on “Driving advice, Eco-driving”

in Section 2.

3.13

The refrigerant circuit may contain

fluorinated greenhouse gases.
Depending on the vehicle, you will find

the following information on label A af-

fixed inside the engine compartment.
The presence and location of the infor-

mation on label A depends on the ve-

hicle.

Before performing any

action in the engine com-

partment, the ignition must

be switched off (please see

the information on “Starting, stop-

ping the engine” in Section 2).
