when carrying out opera-
tions in close proximity. In 
addition, the engine cooling 
fan can come on at any moment.
Risk of injury.

allows you to see the condition of the 
air filter.
Replacement of the filter is scheduled 
in the maintenance operations: refer to 
your vehicle’s Maintenance Document

Batterie (H79 - Dacia)
ENG_NU_1079-3_H79Ph2_Dacia_4
BATTERY
Battery 1 does not require any mainte-
nance.
Handle the battery with care 
as it contains sulphuric acid, 
which must not come into 
contact with eyes or skin. If 
it does, wash the affected area with 
plenty of cold water and consult a 
doctor, if necessary.
Ensure that naked flames, red hot 
objects and sparks do not come into 
contact with the battery as there is a 
risk of explosion.
Label A
Observe the indications on the battery:
– 2   Naked flames and smoking forbid-
den;
– 3 Wear eye protection;
– 4 Keep away from children;
– 5 Explosive substances;
– 6 Refer to the handbook;
– 7 Corrosive substances.
The engine may be hot 
during operations in close 
proximity. In addition, the 
engine cooling fan may 
start at any moment.
Risk of injury.

The charge status of your battery can 
decrease especially if you use your 
vehicle:
–  for short journeys;
–  for driving in town;
–  when the temperature drops;
–  after extended use of consumers  (radio etc.) with the engine switched 
off.
Replacing the battery
As this operation is complex, we advise 
you to contact an approved Dealer.
As the battery is specific  
to the vehicle (presence of 
a ventilation pipe to expel 
corrosive and explosive 
gases), make sure that it is replaced 
with a battery that enables this pipe 
to be connected. Please contact an 
authorised dealer.

Respect local regulations about wash-
ing vehicles (e.g. do not wash your ve-
hicle on a public highway).
Observe the vehicle stopping distances 
when driving on gravelled surfaces to 
prevent paint damage.
Repair, or have repaired quickly, areas 
where the paint has been damaged, to 
prevent corrosion spreading.
Remember to visit the body shop pe-
riodically in order to maintain your 
anti-corrosion warranty. Refer to the 
Maintenance Document.
If it is necessary to clean mechani-
cal components, hinges, etc., spray 
them with products approved by our 
Technical Department to protect them 
after they have been cleaned.
BODYWORK MAINTENANCE (2/2)
We have selected special products 
to care for your vehicle and you can 
obtain these from the manufactur-
er’s accessory outlets.
Using a roller type car wash
Return the windscreen wiper stalk to 
the Park position (refer to the informa-
tion on the “Windscreen washer, wiper” 
in Section 1). Check the mounting of 
external accessories, additional lights 
and mirrors, and ensure that the wiper 
blades are secured with adhesive tape.
Remove the radio aerial mast if your 
vehicle is fitted with this equipment. 
Remember to remove the tape and refit 
the antenna after washing.
Cleaning the headlights
As the headlights are made of plastic 
“glass”, use a soft cloth or cotton wool 
to clean them. If this does not clean 
them properly, moisten the cloth with 
soapy water, then wipe clean with a soft 
damp cloth or cotton wool.
Finally, carefully dry off with a soft dry 
cloth.
Cleaning  products  containing  alco-
hol must not  be used.
Vehicles with a matte paint 
finish
This type of paint requires certain pre-
cautions.
Do not do the following
–  use wax-based products (polishing);
–   rub hard;
–   wash the vehicle in a roller-type car 
wash;
–   wash the vehicle using a high-pres-
sure device;
–   attach stickers to the paintwork (risk 
of leaving marks).
You should do the following
Wash the vehicle by hand using plenty 
of water, using a soft cloth or a gentle 
sponge.

Emergency spare wheel
Refer to the information on the 
“Emergency spare wheel” and 
“Changing a wheel” in Section 5.
TYRES (2/3)
Tyre pressures
Adhere to the tyre pressures (including 
the emergency spare wheel). The tyre 
pressures should be checked at least 
once a month and additionally before 
any long journey (refer to the label af-
fixed to the edge of the driver’s door).
Incorrect tyre pressures  
lead to abnormal tyre wear 
and unusually hot running. 
These are factors which 
may seriously affect safety and lead 
to:
–  poor road holding;
–  risk of blowouts or throwing a  tread.
The tyre pressure depends on the 
load and speed of use; adjust the 
pressures according to the condi-
tions of use (refer to the information 
on “Tyre pressures” in Section 4).
For safety reasons, this op-
eration must be carried out 
by a specialist.
Fitting different tyres may 
change your vehicle as follows:
–  it may mean that your vehicle no  longer conforms to current regu-
lations;
–  It may change the way it handles  when cornering;
–  It may cause the steering to be  heavy;
–  it may affect the use of snow  chains.
Please be aware that a poorly tightened or missing valve cap can make 
the tyres less airtight and may lead to pressure loss. Always use valve 
caps of the same type as the originals and tighten them fully.
Fitting new tyresPressures should be checked when the 
tyres are cold; ignore higher pressures 
which may be reached in hot weather 
or following a fast journey.
If tyre pressures cannot be checked 
when the tyres are cold, assume an in-
crease of 0.2 to 0.3 bar.
Never deflate a hot tyre.
Special note
Depending on the vehicle, there may 
be an adapter which needs to be posi-
tioned on the valve before air is added.
Your vehicle is equipped with large 
wheels. These are more sensitive 
to imbalance. If you experience vi-
bration while driving, contact an ap-
proved dealer.

Refitting windscreen wiper blades
To refit the wiper blade, proceed in the 
reverse order to removal. Make sure 
that the blade is correctly locked in po-
sition.
Check the condition of the wiper 
blades. You are responsible for their 
service life:
–  clean the blades, windscreen and  rear screen regularly with soapy 
water;
–  do not use them when the wind- screen or rear screen are dry;
–  free them from the windscreen or  rear screen when they have not 
been used for a long time.
– In frosty weather, make 
sure that the wiper blades 
are not stuck by ice (to 
avoid the risk of the motor 
overheating).
–   Check the condition of the wiper 
blades.
Replace the wiper blades as soon 
as they begin to lose efficiency 
(approximately once a year).
Whilst changing the blade, take care 
not to drop the arm onto the window 
after it has been removed as this 
may break the window.

TOWING: breakdown (2/3)
4-wheel drive vehicles (4WD)
Whichever type of gearbox is fitted, a 
4WD vehicle must never be towed if 
any of its 4 wheels are touching the 
ground.
Off-road recovery
If your vehicle is stuck in sand, snow 
or mud, attach a flexible towing device 
(towing belt or other device specially 
designed for this purpose) to the front 
or rear towing point (refer to the in-
formation on “Front and rear towing 
points” on the previous page).
For off-road recovery, it 
is forbidden to use a rigid 
bar to tow a vehicle that is 
stuck. Risk of mechanical 
damage.You must never tow a 4-wheel drive 
vehicle, irrespective of the mode se-
lected, if one of the 4 wheels is in 
contact with the ground (except for 
off-road recovery). Risk of mechani-
cal damage.
Refer to the manufacturer’s instruc-
tions for information on how to fit 
and operate the equipment.
If a 4x4  (4WD) vehicle becomes 
stuck, it should only be towed for a 
short distance. Risk of mechanical 
damage.
