Mise en route / Arrêt du moteur (H79 Ph2 - Dacia) ENG_NU_1079-6_H79Ph2_Dacia_2
LPG versions
The engine is always started using
petrol:
– activate the starter without accelera-
ting;
– release the key as soon as the
engine starts.
The system will automatically deter-
mine the switchover from petrol to LPG.
When operating on LPG, the fuel gauge
may indicate a drop in the petrol level
and the on-board computer will not op-
erate.
Under certain winter conditions the
system may delay or disable operation
with LPG.
After stopping the engine, if the envi-
ronmental conditions are once again
suitable, the system may once again
permit LPG mode.
Starting the engineIn very cold conditions (temperatures
below –20°C): so that it is easier to
start the engine, switch on the ignition
for several seconds before starting the
engine.
When starting the engine, if the outdoor
temperature is very low (below -10°C):
hold down the clutch pedal until the
engine starts.
Make sure the engine immobiliser is not
activated. Refer to the information on
the “Engine immobiliser” in Section 1.
Petrol injection
– Turn the key to the start position
without depressing the accelera-
tor.
– Release the key as soon as the
engine starts.
ÉDiesel injection
Turn the ignition key to ignition “On” po-
sition M, and hold this position until the
preheating warning light goes out.
Turn the key to starter position D with-
out depressing the accelerator
pedal.
Release the key as soon as the engine
starts.
STARTING, STOPPING THE ENGINE (1/4)
At temperatures close to 0°C or less, it
is recommended to use ECO mode to
maximise the use of LPG. Please refer
to the information on “Driving advice,
Eco-driving” in Section 2.
To enable the system to operate
smoothly and to prevent any wear to
the vehicle’s electric petrol pump, the
petrol tank should always be around
1/4 full.

Particularités des versions GPL (H79 Ph2 - Dacia) ENG_NU_1079-6_H79Ph2_Dacia_2
SPECIAL FEATURES OF LPG VERSIONS (3/3)
If driving under severe
conditions
If driving under severe conditions (hea-
vily laden vehicle, high outside tempe-
rature, starting on a steep slope, etc),
you are recommended to switch to
petrol mode.
At temperatures close to 0°C or less, it
is recommended to use ECO mode to
maximise the use of LPG. Please refer
to the information on “Driving advice,
Eco-driving” in Section 2.
In the event of an accident
The main precautions to be taken are
the same as with petrol vehicles:
– apply the handbrake;
– stop the engine (a safety device that
stops LPG from entering the engine
is automatically triggered);
– switch off the ignition;
– observe local regulations.
LPG has a very specific
smell so you will be able to
detect any leaks easily. If
you smell gas in your vehi-
cle or immediately surrounding your
vehicle:
– switch to petrol mode immedia-
tely and make sure there are no
flames or sources of fire near the
vehicle;
– go to an authorised dealer.
Do not touch, hit or dis-
mantle any part of the LPG
system components.
Operating fault
In the event of a fault which may affect
the correct operation of the engine, the
system automatically switches from
LPG to petrol mode.
This is confirmed by:
– the appearance of the yellow war-
ning light B;
– slow flashing of the green warning
light D;
– a beep sounds.

Fuel consumption is accredited in ac-
cordance with a standard regulatory
method. Identical for all manufactur-
ers, this enables vehicles to be com-
pared with one another. Consumption
in real time depends on vehicle usage
conditions, the equipment fitted and the
user’s driving style. To optimise fuel
consumption, please refer to the follow-
ing advice.
Depending on the vehicle, you will have
various functions which enable you to
lower your fuel consumption:
– the rev counter;
– gear change indicator;
– ECO mode – activated by the ECO
button.
Gear change indicator 1To obtain optimum consumption levels,
a warning light on the instrument panel
lets you know the best time to move up
or down a gear:
Š move up a gear;
‰ move down a gear.

DRIVING ADVICE, ECO-DRIVING (3/5)
– Avoid sudden acceleration.
– Brake as little as possible. If you an-
ticipate an obstacle or bend in ad-
vance, you may then simply release
the accelerator pedal.
– Do not try to maintain the same
speed up a hill, accelerate no more
than you would on the level. Keep
your foot in the same position on the
accelerator pedal.
– Double declutching and accelerating
before switching off are unnecessary
in modern vehicles.
On versions with an automatic gear-
box, it is preferable to keep the gear
lever in position D.
Vehicles with 4x4 (4WD) trans-
mission
On flat, level ground, with the vehi-
cle unladen, you are recommended
to start in second gear.
Driving advice, Eco-driving
Behaviour
– Drive carefully for the first few miles
until the engine reaches its normal
operating temperature, rather than
let it warm up while the vehicle is sta-
tionary.
– Speed is expensive.
– Sporty driving uses a lot of fuel: drive
with a light right foot.
– Do not overrev the engine in the in-
termediate gears.
You should always use the highest
gear possible.
Driving problems
On the driver’s side, only
use mats specially adapted
for the vehicle and attached
to prefitted devices. Check regularly
to make sure they are secure. Do
not overlay several mats.
Risk of pedals jamming.
