Transmission : 4 roues motrices (4WD) (H79 - Dacia)

TRANSMISSION: 4-wheel drive (4WD) (2/4)
This problem may be resolved by
changing the tyres. Always use four
identical tyres (same brand, profile,
etc.) and with similar wear.
In the event of excessive wheelspin,
the mechanical components may be
overheating.
If this happens:
– at first, the
’ warning light
flashes. “4WD Lock” mode is still
active, however we recommend that
you stop as soon as possible to allow
the system to cool down (until the
warning light stops flashing);
– if the wheels still spin, the system au-
tomatically switches to “2WD” mode
to protect the mechanical compo -
nents.
The
‘ warning light flashes. The
mode cannot be changed while the
light is flashing.
After one minute, the system switches
to “2WD” or “AUTO” mode depending
on the position of the selector.
Note:
if the vehicle speed exceeds
36 mph (60 km/h) in 4WD Lock mode,
the system automatically switches back
to AUTO mode. The
’ indicator
light goes out.
Special features of the
4-wheel drive transmission
The vehicle may make more noise when
the “AUTO" or "4WD Lock" modes are
activated. This is normal. If the system
detects a difference in the dimensions
of the front and rear wheels (eg. un -
derinflation, severe wear on an axle),
the system automatically switches to
"2WD" mode.
The
‘ and Ò warning lights on
the instrument panel come on. Drive as
soon as possible at a moderate speed
to an approved dealer.
To deactivate this mode, turn selector 1

to the “AUTO” position. The
‘ indi -
cator light on the instrument panel goes
out.
“4WD Lock" mode
To activate this mode, turn selector 1 to
the “4WD Lock” position. The selector
the returns to the “AUTO” position. The
’ indicator light will light up on the
instrument panel.
Operating principle
“4WD Lock” mode distributes the
engine torque between the front and
rear axles in order to optimise the per-
formance capacity of the vehicle in off-
road situations. This mode should only
be used in extreme driving conditions
(mud, steep slopes, sand).
To deactivate this mode, turn selector 1
to the “4WD Lock” position again. The
indicator light on the instrument panel
goes out. When the engine is switched
off, the system stays in “4WD Lock”
mode for one minute.

DRIVER CORRECTION DEVICES/AIDS (2/4)
Emergency brake assist with
electronic brake distribution
(depending on the vehicle)
This system supplements the ABS
and helps reduce vehicle stopping dis-
tances.
Operating principle
The system is for detecting an emer -
gency braking situation. In this case,
the braking assistance immediately de-
velops maximum power and may trig -
ger ABS regulation.
ABS braking is maintained as long as
the brake pedal is applied.
Operating faults

– If the x warning light on the in-
strument panel comes on while you
are driving, the brakes will still
work normally without ABS;
– If the
x and D warning
lights on the instrument panel come
on while you are driving, there is a
fault in the braking system.
In both cases, consult an approved
Dealer.
Yo u r b r a k i n g s y s t e m s
are partially operational.
However, it is dangerous
to brake suddenly and
it is essential to stop immediately,
as soon as traffic conditions allow.
Contact an approved dealer.

DRIVER CORRECTION DEVICES/AIDS (4/4)
Operating faults
When the system detects an operating
fault, warning lights
Ò and ù
light up on the instrument panel. In this
case, the ESP and ASR are deacti -
vated.
Please consult an authorised dealer if
these warning lights remain displayed
on the instrument panel after the igni -
tion is switched off and on again.
Note:
the function is automatically re -
activated when the ignition is switched
on, or when the speed exceeds 30 mph
(50 km/h) in AUTO and 2WD modes,
and approximately 36 mph (60 km/h) in
4WD Lock mode.
Operating principle
A sensor in the steering wheel detects
the direction selected by the driver.
Other sensors throughout the vehicle
measure the actual direction.
The system compares driver input to
the actual trajectory of the vehicle and
corrects the trajectory if necessary by
controlling the braking of certain wheels
and/or engine power. In the event that
the system is engaged, indicator light
ù flashes on the instrument panel.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (1/3)
Selector lever 1
Display 3 on the instrument panel
shows the mode and gear selected.
P: park
R: reverse
N: neutral
D: automatic mode
4: zone displaying gearbox mode or
gear engaged in manual mode.
Operation
With the gear lever in position P or N,
switch on the ignition.
With your foot on the brake pedal, move
the lever out of position P.
Only engage D or R when the vehi -
cle is stopped, with your foot on the
brake and the accelerator pedal re -
leased.
You must apply the brake before
pressing the unlocking button 2 to
move out of position P.
Driving in automatic modeMove lever 1 to position D.
In the majority of traffic conditions, you
will not have to touch the gear selector
lever again: the gear will be changed
automatically at the right time and at
the most suitable engine speed be -
cause the automatic system takes into
account the vehicle load and road con-
tour and adjusts itself to the particular
driving style you have chosen.
Economical driving
When driving, leave the lever in posi -
tion D, keeping the accelerator pedal
lightly depressed to ensure automatic
gear changes at comparatively low
engine speeds.
Accelerating and overtaking
Depress the accelerator pedal firmly
and fully (so that it goes beyond the
kickdown point).
This will enable you to change down
to the optimum gear within the
engine range.
For safety reasons, do not
switch off the ignition before
the vehicle has come to a
complete standstill.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (2/3)
Driving in manual modeWith selector lever 1 in position D,
move the lever to the left.
Shifting the lever repeatedly allows you
to change gears manually:
– To move down through the gears,
push the lever backwards;
– to move up through the gears, push
the lever forwards.
The gear selected is displayed on the
instrument panel.Special circumstances
– Snow position: if you are driving
on ground where there is a risk of
skidding (snow, mud, etc.), press
switch 5 and warning light 6 will
come on.
Once these special driving con -
ditions no longer apply, exit this
function by pressing switch 5
again. Warning light 6 goes out.
Special cases
In certain driving conditions (e.g.:
to
protect the engine) the “automated
system” may change the gear automat-
ically.
Likewise, to prevent incorrect manoeu -
vres, a gear change may be refused by
the automatic system: in this case the
gear display flashes for a few seconds
as a warning.

Use a soft or cotton cloth. If this does
not clean them properly, use a soft cloth
(or cotton wool) slightly moistened with
soapy water and then wipe clean with
another damp soft or cotton cloth.
Finally, dry off carefully with a soft dry
cloth.
Cleaning products containing alco -
hol must not be used under any cir-
cumstances.
Seat belts
These must be kept clean. Use products
selected by our Technical Department
or warm, soapy water and a sponge
and wipe with a dry cloth.
Detergents or dyes must not be used
under any circumstances.
Interior trim maintenance
INTERIOR TRIM MAINTENANCE (1/2)
A well-maintained vehicle will have a
longer service life. It is therefore ad -
visable to maintain the vehicle interior
regularly.
Stains should always be dealt with
quickly. Whatever type of stain is on
the trim, use soapy water (if possible,
warm water) containing:
Do not use detergents (washing up
liquid, powdered products, alcohol -
based products, etc.).
Use a soft cloth.
Rinse and soak up the excess.Fabrics (seats, door trim,
etc.)
Dust fabrics regularly.
Liquid stains
Use soapy water.
Dab lightly (never rub) with a soft cloth,
rinse and remove the excess.
Solid or thick stains
Remove any excess solid or thick ma-
terial immediately and carefully using
a spatula (from the edge inwards to
avoid spreading the stain).
Clean using the procedure for a liquid
stain.
Special instructions for sweets or
chewing gum
Put an ice cube on the stain to solidify
it, then proceed as for a solid stain.
For advice on interior maintenance
and/or on unsatisfactory results,
contact an approved dealer.
