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.

doors are locked.Driver’s responsibility
Never leave an animal, 
child or adult who is not 
self-sufficient alone on your 
vehicle, even for a short time.
They may pose a risk to themselves 
or to others by starting the engine, 
activating equipment such as the 
electric windows or locking the 
doors, for example.
Also, in hot and/or sunny weather, 
please remember that the tempera-
ture inside the passenger compart-
ment increases very quickly.
Never switch off the ignition 
before the vehicle has stopped 
completely. Switching off the 
engine disables the assistance 
equipment: brakes, steering, etc., 
and additional seatbelt devices.
The steering is locked when the key 
is removed.
RISK OF DEATH OR SERIOUS 
INJURY.
STARTING, STOPPING THE ENGINE (2/4)

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.

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 of the parts on your vehicle have 
been designed to be recycled later.
These parts are easily removable in 
order to be collected and reprocessed 
in recycling networks.
Furthermore, by virtue of its design, 
moderate fuel consumption and initial 
settings, your vehicle also conforms 
to current anti-pollution regulations. 
The manufacturer is actively striving 
to reduce pollutant exhaust gas emis-
sions and to save energy. However, 
the fuel consumption of your vehicle 
and the level of pollutant exhaust gas 
emissions are also your responsibility. 
Ensure that it is maintained and used 
correctly.Maintenance
It is important to remember that fail-
ure to respect anti-pollution 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 manufac-
turer may alter your vehicle so that it 
no longer complies with anti-pollution 
regulations.
Have your vehicle adjusted and 
checked by an authorised 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
–  Air filter, fuel filter: a choked ele-
ment will reduce efficiency. It must 
be replaced.
– Idle speed: no adjustment 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 possi-
ble;
–  if it flashes, reduce the engine speed 
until the light stops flashing. Contact 
an authorised dealer as soon as pos-
sible.
