Dacia Sandero
System A
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.
- 4.
De-icing/demisting of the rear screen and, depending on the vehicle, the rear view mirrors.
- 5.
Adjusting the air temperature.
- 6.
Switching passenger compartment isolation mode/air recirculation mode on
Information and advice for use Air conditioning: information 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 temperature will be.
Adjusting the ventilation fan speed
Move control 3 from 0 to 4. The further the control is positioned to the right, the greater the amount of air blown into the passenger compartment. To stop air from entering the passenger compartment, set the 3 control to "0".
The system is deactivated: the ventilation speed for the passenger compartment air is zero (vehicle stationary), you can however still feel a slight flow of air when the vehicle is moving.
tip
Prolonged use of this control in position 0 can lead to condensation forming on the side windows and windscreen and problems due to the use of non-renewed air in the passenger compartment.
Switching passenger compartment isolation mode/air recirculation mode on.
A warning light illuminates on the 6 button to confirm its operation.
Under these conditions, air is taken from the passenger compartment and is recirculated, with no air being taken from outside the vehicle.
tip
Prolonged use of air recirculation can lead to condensation forming on the side windows and windscreen and discomfort due to the lack of fresh 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 6 button.
Air recirculation operates as follows:
- isolating the vehicle from the external atmosphere (e.g. when driving in polluted areas, etc.);
- to bring the passenger compartment to the desired temperature as quickly as possible.
Rapid demisting
Turn controls 1, 3 and 6 to positions:
- demisting
; - maximum fan speed;
- external air.
Using the heating and air conditioning system increases the speed of demisting.
Heated rear screen
-
With the engine running, press the button4 (the warning light comes on).
This function de-ices/demists the rear screen and the electric de-icing rearview mirrors (depending on the vehicle).
Depending on the vehicle, the function is stopped:
- after a period of time set by the system (the indicator light disappears);
- by pressing button 4 again (the indicator light disappears).
Distribution of air in the passenger compartment
Turn control 1 to choose the distribution option.
-
The air flow is directed to the dashboard vents.
-
The air flow is directed towards the dashboard vents and the footwells.
-
The air flow comes mainly through the vents located at the occupants' feet (underneath the dashboard and/or underneath the front seats).
-
The air flow is distributed between front side window demisting vents, the windscreen demisting vents and the footwells.
-
All the air is then directed to the windscreen and front side window demisting vents.
Switching the air conditioning on or off
The air conditioning is switched on (indicator light lit) or off (indicator light off) using button 2
Activation is not possible if the 3 control is set to 0.
The air conditioning system is used for:
- lowering the temperature inside the passenger compartment;
- eliminating condensation more quickly.
The air conditioning does not operate when the exterior temperature is low.
tip
Fuel consumption increases when the air conditioning is being used (switch it off when it is not required).
