Instrument panel: warning lights
#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 inter-
val specified in your vehicle’s mainte -
nance document. This means you may
have to change the oil before the warn-
ing light comes on.
Refer to the information on the “Oil
change” in Section 4.
xAnti-lock braking warning
light
This light comes on when the ignition is
switched on and goes out within three
seconds. If it lights up when you are
driving, it indicates a fault in the anti -
lock braking system.
WARNING LIGHTS (1/4)
The presence and operation of the warning lights DEPEND ON THE EQUIPMENT\
AND COUNTRY.
If no lights or sounds are ap-
parent, this indicates a fault
in the instrument panel. This
indicates that it is essential
to stop immediately (as soon as traf-
fic conditions allow). Ensure that the
vehicle is correctly immobilised and
contact an approved Dealer.
Warning lights on instrument

These warning lights require you to
stop immediately, for your own safety,
as soon as traffic conditions allow.
Switch off the engine and do not re -
start it. Contact an approved dealer.

Transmission : 4 roues motrices (4WD) (H79 - Dacia)
ENG_NU_898-5_H79_Dacia_2
TRANSMISSION: 4-wheel drive (4WD) (3/4)
Electronic stability program and
traction control when driving off -
road
(vehicles equipped with ESP)
When driving on soft ground (sand,
mud, deep snow), we recommend that
you deactivate the ESP function by
pressing the “ESP” switch.
In this case, only individual wheel brak-
ing remains active. This function ap -
plies the brake to any wheel that is slip-
ping, allowing the engine torque to be
transferred to the wheels with the most
grip. This is particularly useful when
crossing a bridge.
All the ESP functions will be reactivated
when the vehicle speed reaches ap -
proximately 30 mph (50 km/h), (36 mph
(60 km/h) in “4WD Lock” mode), or
when the engine is restarted, or when
the “ESP” button is pressed again.Operating faults
If the system detects an operating
fault, it automatically switches to “2WD”
mode, and the
‘ and Ò warn-
ing lights come on.
Drive as soon as possible at a moder-
ate speed to an approved dealer.
For certain operating faults, the system
may not be able to switch to “2WD" or
"4WD Lock" mode. "AUTO" mode re -
mains active.
Contact an approved dealer as soon as
possible.
In this case, we recommend that you
stop as soon as possible to allow the
system to cool down (until the warning
light stops flashing).
Cooling may take up to five minutes.
If the system detects excessive wheel
-
spin on the front wheels, it adapts the
engine to run in a way that reduces
wheelspin.
Anti-lock braking in “ LOCK” mode
(vehicles equipped with ABS)
When “4WD Lock" mode is active, the
ABS switches to off-road mode. In this
case, the wheels may lock intermit -
tently to achieve better grip, thus reduc-
ing braking distances on soft ground.
When this mode is active:
– the vehicle’s manoeuvrability is lim -
ited during braking. This operating
mode is therefore not recommended
in very low-grip conditions (eg. ice).
– there may be some noise. This is
normal, and does not indicate an op-
erating fault.

ENG_NU_898-5_H79_Dacia_2
ABS (anti-lock braking
system)
Under heavy braking, the ABS prevents
the wheels from locking, allowing the
stopping distance to be managed and
keeping control of the vehicle. Under
these circumstances, the vehicle can
be steered to avoid an obstacle whilst
braking. In addition, this system can
increase stopping distances, particu -
larly on roads with low surface grip (wet
ground etc.).
You will feel a pulsation through the
brake pedal each time the system is
activated. The ABS does not in any way
improve the vehicle's physical perform-
ance relating to the road surface and
roadholding. It is still essential to follow
the rules of good driving practice (such
as driving at a safe distance from the
vehicle in front etc.).
Driver correction devices and aids
DRIVER CORRECTION DEVICES/AIDS (1/4)
Depending on the vehicle, this is com-
posed of:
– t h e A B S ( a n t i - l o c k b r a k i n g
system);
– the emergency brake assist;
– the ESP (electronic stability pro -
gram) with understeer control and
traction control ASR.
These functions are an ad-
ditional aid in the event of
critical driving conditions,
enabling the vehicle behav -
iour to be adapted to suit the driving
conditions.
However, the functions do not take
the place of the driver. They do
not increase the vehicle’s limits
and should not encourage you
to drive more quickly. Therefore,
they can under no circumstances
replace the vigilance or responsibil -
ity of the driver when manoeuvring
the vehicle (the driver must always
be ready for sudden incidents which
may occur when driving).
In an emergency, apply firm and
continuous pressure to the brake
pedal. There is no need to pump
it repeatedly. The ABS will modu -
late the force applied in the braking
system.
Special feature of 4-wheel drive ve -
hicles
In 4WD Lock mode, the system may
lock the wheels briefly to optimise the
braking distance on very wet ground
(snow, mud, sand, etc.).

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.
