DRIVING ADVICE, ECO-DRIVING (3/4)
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.
– 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.
– Bad weather, flooded roads:
Do not drive through
floods if the water is
above the lower edge of
the wheel rims.
Obstructions to the driver
On the driver’s side, only
use mats suitable for the
vehicle, attached with the
pre-fitted components, and check
the fitting regularly. Do not lay one
mat on top of another.
There is a risk of wedging the
pedals

DRIVING ADVICE, ECO-DRIVING (4/4)
Advice on use
– Favour ECO mode.
– Electricity is fuel; switch off all the
electrical components which are
not really needed. However (safety
first), keep your lights on when the
visibility is bad (“see and be seen”).
– Use the air vents. Driving with the windows open at 60 mph (100 km/h)
will increase fuel consumption by
4%.
– Never fill the fuel tank right to the brim to avoid overflow. –
In vehicles fitted with air condi-
tioning, it is normal to observe an
increase in fuel consumption (es-
pecially in urban conditions) when
it is used. For vehicles fitted with
manual air conditioning, switch off
the system when it is not required.
Advice for reducing consumption
and therefore helping to preserve
the environment:
If the vehicle has been parked in the
sun, open the doors for a few mo-
ments to let the hot air escape before
starting the engine.
– Do not leave an empty roof rack fitted to the vehicle.
– It is better to fit a trailer for bulky ob- jects.
– When towing a caravan, fit a wind deflector and adjust it carefully.
– Avoid using the car for door-to-door calls (short journeys with long waits
in between) because the engine
never reaches its normal operating
temperature.
Tyres
– An underinflated tyre increases fuel
consumption.
– The use of non-recommended tyres can increase fuel consumption.

Conseils entretien et antipollution (X98 - X87 - X07 - Renault)
ENG_NU_993-5_X52_Dacia_2
MAINTENANCE AND ANTIPOLLUTION ADVICE
Your vehicle complies with criteria for
recycling and recovering vehicles at the
end of their service life which will come
into force in 2015.
Some parts of your vehicle have there-
fore been designed to facilitate future
recycling.
These parts are easy to remove so
that they can be recovered and reproc-
essed by recycling companies.
By virtue of its design, moderate fuel
consumption and initial settings, your
vehicle also conforms to current anti-
pollution regulations. The manufac-
turer is actively striving to reduce pol-
lutant exhaust gas emissions and to
save energy. But the fuel consumption
of your vehicle and the level of pollutant
exhaust gas emissions are also your
responsibility. Ensure that it is main-
tained and used correctly.
Maintenance
It is important to remember that fai-
lure to respect antipollution regulations
could lead to legal action being taken
against the vehicle owner. In addition, replacing engine, fuel
supply system and exhaust compo-
nents with parts other than those origi-
nally recommended by the manufactu-
rer may alter your vehicle so that it no
longer complies with antipollution regu-
lations.
Have your vehicle adjusted and
checked by an approved Dealer, in ac-
cordance with the instructions given in
your maintenance schedule: they will
have all the equipment necessary for
ensuring that your vehicle is maintained
to its original standard.
Engine adjustments
– Spark plugs:
for optimum condi-
tions of use, output and performance
the specifications laid down by our
Design Department must be strictly
applied.
If the spark plugs have to be changed, use the make, type and gap specified
for your vehicle’s engine. Contact an
authorised dealer for this.
– Air filter: a choked element will reduce efficiency. It must be re-
placed.
– Ignition and idle speed: no adjust-
ment is needed.
Exhaust gas monitoring
system
The exhaust gas monitoring system will
detect any operating faults in the vehi-
cle’s antipollution system.
If this system malfunctions, toxic sub-
stances may be released into the at-
mosphere or damage may occur.
ÄThis warning light on the in-
strument panel will indicate if
there are any faults in the system:
This lights up when the ignition is
switched on and goes out when the
engine is started.
– If it lights up continuously, consult an approved Dealer as soon as pos-
sible;
– if it flashes, reduce the engine speed until the light stops flashing. Contact
your approved dealer as soon as
possible.

Boîte de vitesses robotisée (X52 - Dacia)

Driving in automatic mode
Each time the ignition is switched on,
starting in neutral, place the lever to D
to be able to shift directly to automatic
mode.
The letter A appears on the display.
The vehicle is controlled using the ac-
celerator and the brake. Gears will
change automatically at the correct
moment and at a suitable engine speed
because automatic mode takes into
consideration the road surface and the
chosen driving style.
Note:
Automatic mode takes account of:
– the position and speed of depression of the accelerator pedal to assess
driving style and select the optimum
gear,
– action on the brake pedal, to com- mence engine braking in preparation
for a downshift.
When stopped at traffic lights, with the
gear engaged, you can keep the ve-
hicle stationary by pressing the brake
pedal without changing to neutral N.
The vehicle will move off again:
– either slowly, if you release the brake
without accelerating (e.g. when in a
traffic jam),
– or quickly, if you release the brake and accelerate.
Economical driving
When driving, always leave the lever
in position D , keeping the accelerator
pedal lightly depressed to ensure auto-
matic gear changes at a lower engine
speed.
SEQUENTIAL GEARBOX (4/6)
Accelerating and overtaking
– slowly depress the accelerator pedal to accelerate gradually,
– to obtain maximum vehicle per- formance regardless of the mode
selected (automatic or manual),
quickly depress the accelerator
pedal beyond the kickdown point.
The speed with which you depress
the pedal will allow you to downshift
according to the vehicle’s capabili-
ties.
If the engine is being overrevved or
underevved, the system will select
the optimal gear.

Parking
When the vehicle is immobilised
– on a flat stretch of road, engage the
handbrake then switch off the igni-
tion,
– on a slope, it is possible to keep a gear engaged by positioning the
lever to position D or R, engage the
handbrake and switch off the igni-
tion.
Bleep
Never leave the vehicle with the engine
running when in gear. For safety rea-
sons, you will hear an intermittent
beeping sound when you open the door
if you have not shifted into neutral.
SEQUENTIAL GEARBOX (5/6)
An impact to the underside
of the vehicle (e.g.: striking
a post, raised kerb or other
street furniture) may result
in damage to the vehicle (e.g.: de-
formation of an axle).
To avoid any risk of accident, have
your vehicle checked by an ap-
proved Dealer.
Special circumstances
– If the bends and road surface do
not allow you to stay in automatic
mode (e.g. in the mountains), we
recommend that you change to
manual mode. This will prevent the
automatic gearbox from changing
gear repeatedly when climbing, and
permit engine braking on long de-
scents.
– On a slippery surface or surface
with little grip, change to manual
mode M and select second gear
before accelerating to avoid wheel-
spin.
In very cold weather, the system
may delay the gears from being
shifted while the engine reaches the
right temperature.
