Renault Kangoo Driver's Manual: Air conditioning: information and usage tips

Fuel consumption

A increase in fuel consumption (especially in urban driving) is normal when the air conditioning is in use.

On vehicles fitted with air conditioning without automatic mode, switch the system off when you no longer need it.

Drive with the vents open and the windows closed.

If the vehicle has been parked in full heat or sunlight, ventilate the cabin for a few minutes to expel hot air before starting.

Refer to your vehicle's maintenance document for inspection intervals.

In general, if an operating fault occurs, consult a brand representative.

Reduced defrosting, demisting or air conditioning performance. This may be caused by a clogged cabin filter cartridge.
No cold air produced. Check that the controls are correctly set and that the fuses are in good condition. Otherwise, stop operating the system.

After prolonged use of the air conditioning, it is normal to find water under the vehicle, caused by condensation.

! Do not open the refrigerant circuit. Refrigerant is hazardous to the eyes and skin.
