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:
–

t

he vehicle’s manoeuvrability is lim-
ited during braking. This operating
mode is therefore not recommended
in very low-grip conditions (eg. ice).
–

t

here may be some noise. This is
normal, and does not indicate an op-
erating fault.

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;
–

However, it is dangerous
to brake suddenly and
it is essential to stop immediately,
as soon as traffic conditions allow.

Electronic stability program
ESP with understeer control
and traction control ASR
Electronic Stability Program ESP
(depending on the vehicle)
This system helps you to keep control
of the vehicle in critical driving condi-
tions (avoiding an obstacle, loss of grip
on a bend, etc.). Understeer control
This system optimises the action of the
ESP in the case of pronounced unders-
teering (loss of front axle road holding).
Traction control ASR
This system helps to limit wheelspin of
the drive wheels and to control the ve-
hicle when pulling away accelerating or
decelerating.
Deactivating the function
Deactivating the ASR traction control
function also deactivates the ESP func-
tion (refer to the following page).

Special feature of 4-wheel
drive and 2-wheel drive
vehicles (depending on the
vehicle)
Disabling the ESP function
In some situations (driving on very wet
ground: snow, mud, etc. or driving with
snow chains fitted), the system may
reduce the engine output to limit wheel-
spin. If this is not required, it is possible
to deactivate the function by pressing
switch
1.
The
ù warning light on the instru-
ment panel comes on to warn you of
this.
If you deactivate this function, the ASR
traction control function will also be de-
activated.
As the ’ESP and ASR provide en-
hanced safety, it is not advisable to
drive with the function switched off.
Correct this as soon as possible by
pressing switch

1
again.

BODyWORK MAINTENANCE, ENGINE COMPARTMENT (1/3)
A well-maintained vehicle has a longer
service life. It is therefore recom-
mended that attention is paid to the out-
side of the vehicle on a regular basis.
Protection against the effects
of corrosive agents
Although your vehicle has been treated
with very effective anti-corrosion prod-
ucts, it nevertheless remains subject to
the effects of:
–

corrosives in the atmosphere
–


atmospheric
pollution (urban and in-
dustrial areas);
–

s
aline atmosphere (near the sea,
particularly in hot weather);
–

s
easonal and damp climatic condi-
tions, (e.g.: road salt in winter, water
from road cleaners, etc.).
–

abrasives
W

ind-borne dust and sand, mud, road grit thrown up by other vehicles, etc.
–

mino
r impacts
You should take a minimum number of
precautions in order to safeguard your
vehicle against such risks and not to
lose the benefit of your vehicle’s anti-
corrosion protection.
you should not:
– Degrease or clean mechanical com-
ponents, underneath the body, parts
with hinges (eg. fuel filler cap, inside
the fuel flap) and painted plastic ex-
ternal fittings (eg. bumpers) using
high-pressure cleaning equipment
or by spraying on products not ap-
proved by our Technical Department.
If adequate precautions are not
taken, this could cause corrosion or
lead to operational faults.
–

Aim
a high pressure water jet directly
onto damaged parts of the vehicle
(eg. painted bumpers, lights, etc.).
Wash these parts carefully by hand.
–

W
ash the vehicle in bright sunlight or
freezing temperatures. –

U
se hard brushes to clean alloy
wheels. These can scratch or
damage the wheel’s protective coat-
ing.
–

S
crape off mud or dirt without
prewetting.
–

Allow
dirt to accumulate.
–

Allow
rust to form following minor im-
pacts.
–

U
se solvents not approved by the
Technical Department to remove
stains as this could damage the
paintwork.
–

D
rive when the vehicle is muddy or
covered in snow (the wheel arches,
underneath the body, radiator, etc.
must always be free from mud or
snow).
It is forbidden to wash the engine compartment using a high-pressure
water jet: this risks damaging the electrical/electronic components in the
engine compartment.
A label affixed in the engine compartment reminds you of this.

you should
– Respect local regulations about
washing vehicles (e.g. do not wash
your vehicle on a public highway).
–

A
lways follow the recommenda-
tions supplied with the high-pressure
cleaning equipment (jet distance and
pressure).
–

B
efore going through a roller type
car wash, return the windscreen
wiper stalk to park position (refer
to the information on “Windscreen
wash/wipe” in Section 1), check the
mounting of external accessories,
additional lights and door mirrors
and be sure to hold the wiper blades
and radio aerial in place with adhe-
sive tape. Remove the radio aerial
mast if your vehicle is fitted with this
equipment.
Remember to remove the tape and
refit the antenna after washing. –

After
driving off-road (eg. on muddy,
dusty or sandy terrain) quickly clean
the radiator from the outside of the
vehicle through the openings in the
bumper, to prevent it from becoming
blocked or clogged (risk of engine
overheating).
–

W
ash your vehicle frequently with
the engine off , using shampoo ap-
proved by our Technical Department
(never use abrasive products) and
rinse thoroughly using a warm or
cold water jet (never hot):
–

s
pots of tree resin and industrial
grime;
–

the
layer of dust or mud and any
insects;
–

b
ird droppings, which contain
chemicals that rapidly discolour
paintwork and may even cause
the paint to peel off ;



W
ash the vehicle immediately to
remove these marks since it is im-
possible to remove them by pol-
ishing; –


salt
deposited in the wheel arches
and underneath the body after
driving in areas where the roads
are chemically treated;
–

mud

in the wheel arches and un-
derneath the body which form
damp patches.
–

C
lean mud and sand from the
wheels, in particular the inside of the
wheels and the brakes, as this can:
–

reduce
the braking efficiency and
damage the components of the
braking system;
–

cause
vibrations in the bodywork
and steering column.

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.

CHANGING A WHEEL (1/2)
Switch on the hazard warn-
ing lights.
Park the vehicle away from
traffic on firm, flat, non-slip-
pery ground (if necessary, place a
solid support under the jack base).
Apply the handbrake and engage a
gear (first or reverse gear).
Ask the passengers to leave the ve-
hicle and to keep away from traffic.
If you have a puncture, re-
place the wheel as soon as
possible.
A tyre which has been punc-
tured should always be inspected
(and repaired, where possible) by a
specialist.
Vehicles equipped with a jack
and wheelbrace
If necessary, remove the wheel trim,
refer to the information on “Wheel trims
- Wheels” in this Section. Undo the
wheel bolts using wheelbrace
4 .

Fit it
so that you press downwards rather
than pulling upwards. Mark hole
1
,
which is the nearest to
the wheel in question. The jack must
be fitted in this location. Offer up jack
3

horizontally and position jack head
2

under the sill.
Start cranking the jack up by hand to
align the base plate (which should be
pushed slightly under the vehicle).
Turn the wheelbrace until the wheel lifts
off the ground.
Remove the bolts.
Take off the wheel.
Fit the emergency spare wheel on
the central hub and turn it to align the
mounting holes in the wheel and the
hub.
To prevent any risk of injury
or damage to the vehicle,
only crank the jack until the
wheel you are replacing is
a maximum of 3 centimetres off the
ground.
If the vehicle is parked on
the hard shoulder, you must
warn other road users of
your vehicle’s presence
with a warning triangle or with other
devices as per the legislation apply-
ing to the country you are in.
