Réservoir carburant (H79 - Dacia)
ENG_NU_1079-3_H79Ph2_Dacia_1
FUEL TANK (3/6)
Filling with fuel
Insert the nozzle to open the valve and 
insert it fully before turning it on to fill 
the fuel tank (risk of splashing).
Keep the nozzle in this position 
throughout the entire filling operation. 
When the pump cuts out automatically 
at the end of the filling procedure, a 
maximum of two further filling attempts 
may be made, as there must be suffi-
cient space in the fuel tank to allow for 
expansion.
Make sure that no water enters the fuel 
tank during filling. The valve and its sur-
round must remain clean.
Persistent fuel odour
If you notice a persistent 
smell of fuel you should:
– stop the vehicle when traffic  conditions allow it and switch off 
the ignition;
–  switch on the hazard warning  lights and ask your passengers to 
leave the vehicle and stay clear 
of the traffic;
–  contact an authorised dealer.
Petrol versions
Using leaded petrol will damage the 
antipollution system and may lead to a 
loss of warranty.
To ensure that the fuel tank is not filled 
with leaded petrol, the fuel tank filler 
neck contains a restrictor fitted with a 
foolproof system which  only allows 
the nozzle for unleaded petrol to be 
used (at the pump).

LPG versions
Useful capacity of fuel tank: approx. 
32 litres.
Filling up with LPG
Engage the handbrake, stop the engine, 
switch off the ignition and switch off the 
lights.
Always respect the safety instructions 
given at filling stations.
When filling the tank, add the desired 
quantity of LPG.
When the pump stops delivering LPG, 
or when the pump flow reduces signi-
ficantly, the maximum LPG level has 
been reached. 
At this point, do not attempt to carry on 
filling.
If you exceed the LPG tank capacity when filling completely, please go 
to an accredited garage or your authorised dealer to check the automatic\
 
filler device.
FUEL TANK (4/6)
Filling stations without self-service
If service station staff fill your vehicle 
with LPG, give them a filling adapter  4, 
as supplied in a pouch in the glovebox.
IMPORTANT:
The adapter  4 depends on the 
country in which the vehicle is sold.
Before travelling to another country, 
please consult an authorised dealer.

Mise en route / Arrêt du moteur (H79 Ph2 - Dacia)
ENG_NU_1079-3_H79Ph2_Dacia_2
Stopping the engineWith the engine idling, turn the key 
back to “Stop” position  St.
Special note
Depending on the vehicle, accessories 
(e.g. radio) stop working either when 
the engine is switched off or when the 
driver’s door is opened or when the 
doors are locked.LPG versionsThe engine is always started using 
petrol:
–  activate the starter without accelerat- ing;
– 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. 
Every 3,000 miles driven using LPG, 
drivers are recommended to drive for 
around 3 to 6 miles in petrol mode. 
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.
vehicles with an automatic 
gearbox
Before starting, move the lever to posi-
tion N or P.
Refer to the information on the 
“Automatic gearbox” in Section 2.
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
Never leave your vehicle 
with the key or remote con-
trol inside and never leave 
a child (or a pet) unsuper-
vised, even for a short while.
The reason for this is that the child 
may endanger himself or others by 
starting the engine, activating equip-
ment such as the window winders 
for example, or locking the doors.
Risk of serious injury.
Never switch off the ignition 
before the vehicle has stopped 
completely . Once the engine has 
stopped, the brake servo, power as-
sisted steering and passive safety 
equipment such as air bags will no 
longer operate.
The steering is locked when the key 
is removed.

SPECIAL FEATURES OF PETROL VERSIONS
The following operating conditions:
–  driving for long periods when the low 
fuel level warning light is lit;
–  using leaded petrol;
–  using oil or fuel additives which are  not approved by the manufacturer.
Or operating faults such as:
–  faulty ignition system, running out of  fuel or disconnected spark plugs re-
sulting in the engine misfiring or cut-
ting out when driving;
–  loss of power,
may cause the catalytic converter to 
overheat, reducing its efficiency  which 
may irreparably damage it and cause 
heat damage to the vehicle. If you notice any of the above operating 
faults, have the necessary repairs car-
ried out as soon as possible by an ap-
proved Dealer.
These faults may be avoided by reg-
ularly taking your vehicle to your ap-
proved dealer at the intervals speci-
fied in your Maintenance Service 
Document.
Starting problems
To avoid damaging the catalytic con-
verter, 
do not keep trying to start the 
engine (using the start button, or by 
pushing or towing the vehicle)  without 
having identified and corrected the 
starting fault.
If the fault cannot be identified, do not 
continue to try and start the engine, but 
contact an approved dealer.
Do not park the vehicle or 
run the engine in locations 
where combustible sub-
stances or materials such 
as grass or leaves can come into 
contact with a hot exhaust system.

Particularités des versions diesel (H79 - Dacia)
ENG_NU_1079-3_H79Ph2_Dacia_2
SPECIAL FEATURES OF DIESEL VERSIONS
Diesel engine speed
Diesel engines are fitted with an injec-
tion pump which prevents the engine 
speed being exceeded irrespective of 
the gear selected.
If the 
Ä and Ò warning lights 
come on, consult an approved dealer 
as soon as possible.
When driving, depending on the fuel 
grade used, it is possible that white 
smoke may be emitted. 
This is due to the exhaust particle filter 
being cleaned automatically, and does 
not affect the way the vehicle runs.
Running out of fuel
If the  tank has been completely 
drained, the system must be reprimed 
after the tank is refilled: see information 
on the “Fuel tank” in Section 1 before 
restarting the engine.
Precautions to be taken in 
winter
To avoid any faults in icy weather:
–  ensure that the battery is always fully  charged;
–  always keep the diesel tank rela- tively full to avoid water vapour con-
densing in it and accumulating at the 
bottom of the tank.
Do not park the vehicle or 
run the engine in locations 
where combustible sub-
stances or materials such 
as grass or leaves can come into 
contact with a hot exhaust system.

SPECIAL FEATURES OF LPG VERSIONS (1/3)
LPG vehicles
These vehicles operate using petrol or 
LPG.
They have two separate tanks.
What is LPG?
LPG stands for Liquefied Petroleum 
Gas.
It can be readily identified by its charac-
teristic smell.
An LPG installation on a ve-
hicle may lead to changes 
to the vehicle’s features, 
compared to petrol ver-
sions. This may relate to the number 
of seats, mass (usable capacity) 
and towing capacity. 
Contact an authorised dealer.
LPG/petrol fuel mode selection 
control  C
This enables the driver to switch from 
one fuel to another.
Green warning light  D
A lit warning light indicates that LPG 
mode is selected,
Yellow warning light  B
A lit warning light indicates that petrol 
mode is selected.
If the yellow warning light is 
on while the green warning 
light flashes slowly and a 
beep is heard, please take 
your vehicle to an authorised dealer 
for inspection.
