How does the Climate Control System work in the Renault 5?

Updated over 3 months ago


1. Temperature and Ventilation Indicators
Driver's heating temperature indicator (1): Displays the set temperature for the driver.

Ventilation speed indicator (2): Shows the current ventilation speed.

2. Comfort Features: Seat and Steering Wheel Heating
Steering wheel heating activation button (3): Warms the steering wheel for extra comfort in cold weather.

Driver’s seat heating activation button (4) and passenger’s seat heating activation button (6): Heats the front seats.

3. Air Conditioning and Heating
Air conditioning activation (5): Manually turns on the air conditioning.

"A/C MAX" function activation button (11): Provides maximum cooling by setting the temperature to the lowest level, maximizing airflow, and enabling air recirculation.

4. Defogging and Defrosting
Windshield defrost/defog function (7): Directs airflow to the windshield to quickly clear fogged-up windows.

Rear window heating and defogging (14): Heats the rear window and, if available, the exterior mirrors.

"Clear View" function (15): Quickly activates defogging/defrosting for the windshield, rear window, side windows, and exterior mirrors.

5. Air Distribution and Ventilation
Interior air distribution indicator (8): Displays the active airflow direction.

Air distribution control (10): Manually adjusts how the air is distributed inside the cabin (e.g., to the footwell, air vents, or windshield).

6. Climate System Controls
System shutdown (9): Completely turns off the climate system.

Adjusting ventilation speed (16): Manually increases or decreases airflow.

Temperature control (17): Manually sets the driver’s temperature preference.

7. Automatic Climate Control
The system automatically regulates ventilation speed, air distribution, and temperature based on the selected mode:

AUTO mode (13): Optimizes comfort based on external conditions.

SOFT mode: Provides quieter and more gradual temperature regulation.

FAST mode: Increases airflow for faster temperature adjustments, ideal for rear passengers.

Tip: Turn off the air conditioning when the outside temperature is comfortable to maximize driving range.
