Dispositifs de retenue complémentaires (H79 - Dacia)
ENG_NU_1079-3_H79Ph2_Dacia_1
The airbag is designed to complement the action of the seat belt. Both t\
he 
airbags and seat belts are integral parts of the same protection system.\
 
It is therefore essential to wear the seat belt at all times. If seat belts are 
not worn, the occupants are exposed to the risk of serious injury in the 
event of an accident. It may also increase the risk of minor superficial\
 injuries 
occurring when the airbag is deployed, although such minor injuries are \
always 
possible with airbags.
If the vehicle should overturn or suffer a rear impact, however severe, the pre-
tensioners and air bags are not always triggered. Impacts to the undersi\
de of the 
vehicle, e.g. from pavements, potholes or stones, can all trigger these \
systems.
–  No work or modification  whatsoever may be carried out on any part of the 
driver or passenger air bag system (air bag, electronic unit, wiring, etc.), except 
by qualified personnel from our Network.
–  To ensure that the system is in good working order and to avoid accidenta\
l trig- gering of the system which could cause injury, only qualified personnel from 
our Network may work on the air bag system.
–  As a safety precaution, have the air bag system checked if your vehicle \
has  been involved in an accident, or is stolen or broken into.
–  When selling or lending the vehicle, inform the user of these points and\
 hand  over this driver’s handbook with the vehicle.
–  When scrapping your vehicle, contact your approved Dealer for disposal of the  gas generator(s).
All of the warnings below are given so that the air bag is not obstructed in any way when it\
 is inflated and also to prevent 
the risk of serious injuries caused by items which may be dislodged when\
 the air bag inflates.
ADDITIONAL METHODS OF RESTRAINT 
Operating faults
This warning light å will light up on 
the instrument panel when the ignition 
is switched on and then go out after a 
few seconds.
If it does not light up when the ignition 
is switched on, or if it lights up when the 
engine is running, it indicates a fault in 
the system. In this case, fitting a child 
seat in the front passenger seat is 
PROHIBITED.
Contact an approved dealer as soon 
as possible. Your protection will be re-
duced until this fault is rectified.

Deactivating the front 
passenger air bag
(depending on vehicle)
To fit a rear-facing child seat on the 
front passenger seat, you must deacti-
vate the front passenger air bag if your 
vehicle is fitted with air bag deactiva-
tion.
CHILD SAFETY: deactivating/activating the front passenger air bag (1/3) 
The passenger air bag must 
be activated or deactivated 
with the ignition off .
If handled when the igni-
tion is on, the warning light 
å 
comes on.

to reset the air bag in accordance 
with the lock position.

diately, for your own safety,

ing or driving and, depending on the ve-
hicle, is accompanied by a beep, it in-
dicates that the fluid level in the circuit 
is low; it may be dangerous to continue 
driving – please contact an authorised 
dealer.
ÒWarning light malfunction

ommendation, you risk damaging your 
vehicle.ÔCoolant temperature war-
ning light
It goes out as soon as the engine starts.
If this remains lit while driving and, de-
pending on the vehicle, is accompanied

#Engine oil change warning 
light
This lights up on the instrument panel 
when an oil change is required.
Change the oil or have it changed as 
soon as possible.
Only the distance travelled between two 
oil changes is taken into account; the 
time interval between two oil changes 
is not. 
The oil should always be changed 
when the first threshold is reached, i.e. 
either the distance travelled or the in-
terval specified in your vehicle’s main-
tenance document. This means you 
may have to change the oil before the 
warning light comes on.
Refer to the information on the “Oil 
change” in Section 4.

j) Mileage before service
Distance remaining until the next oil change.
There are several scenarios:
–  mileage before oil change service less than  1000 miles  
Warning light 
Ê on the instrument panel comes on ac-
companied by the message “1000 miles”.
–  mileage before oil change service 0 miles. Warning light 
Ê on the instrument panel comes on accompanied by 
the message “--- miles”.
The distance appears on the display for approximately 
8 seconds when the ignition is switched on as soon as the 
distance is less than or equal to  1000 miles.
The vehicle requires an oil change as soon as possible.
Note: depending on the vehicle, the mileage before an oil change varies accor\
ding to the driving style (frequent driving at low 
speed, door-to-door journeys, extensive use at idle speed, towing a trailer etc.). The distance remaining until the next oil ch ange 
can therefore decrease more quickly in some cases than the actual distan\
ce travelled.
The oil change intervals are independent of the vehicle’s maintenance schedule: please refer to your vehicle’s maintenance do-
cument.
Resetting: to reset the mileage before an oil change, press and hold the display r\
eset button for approximately 10 seconds until 
the display shows the range permanently.
