Engine immobiliser
ENGINE IMMOBILISER
This prevents the vehicle being
driven by anyone not in possession
of the vehicle’s coded ignition key.
Operating principle
The vehicle is automatically protected
a few seconds after the ignition is
switched off.
If the vehicle does not recognise the
coded ignition key, tell-tale light
1

will
flash continuously and the engine
cannot be started.
Any unauthorised work
carried out on the engine
immobiliser (computers,
wiring, etc.) could be dan-
gerous. Work must be carried out
by qualified personnel.
System operation
When the ignition is switched on, tell-
tale
1 lights up continuously for approx-
imately three seconds and then goes
out. The vehicle has recognised the
code. You can then start the engine.
Vehicle protection
A few seconds after the ignition has
been switched off, tell-tale light
1

will
flash constantly.
The vehicle will only be protected after
the ignition has been switched off. Operating faults
After the ignition has been switched
on, if warning light
1 continues to flash
or remains continuously lit, there is a
system operating fault.
In all cases, it is essential to contact
an approved dealer as only they are
qualified to repair the engine immobi-
liser.
If the coded ignition key is faulty,
use the second key (supplied with
the vehicle).

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (1/3)
– Have the entire restraint
system checked following
an accident.
–

N
o operation whatsoever
is permitted on any part of the
system (air bags, electronic con-
trol units, wiring) and the system
components must not be reused
on any other vehicle, even if iden-
tical.
–

T

o avoid premature triggering
of the system which may cause
injury, only qualified Network per-
sonnel are authorisedto work on
the methods of restraint in addi-
tion to the front seat belt.
–

T

he electric trigger system may
only be tested by a specially
trained technician using special
equipment.
–

W

hen the vehicle is scrapped,
contact an approved dealer for
disposal of the pretensioner and
airbag gas generators.
PretensionerWith the ignition switched on, if the
vehicle is subject to a significant fron-
tal impact the system may, depending
on the severity of the impact, trigger a
piston which instantly retracts the seat
belt.
The pretensioner holds the seat belt
against the body, holding the occupant
more securely against the seat, thus in-
creasing the seat belt’s efficiency.
Load limiterAbove a certain level of impact force,
this mechanism is used to limit the force
of the belt against the body so that it is
at an acceptable level.
Depending on the vehicle, they are
composed of:
–

seat belt pretensioners;
–


chest-level load limiters;
–


air

bags for the driver and front pas-
senger.
These systems are designed to act in-
dependently or together when the vehi-
cle is subjected to a frontal impact.
Depending on the severity of the
impact, the system can trigger:
–

seat belt locking;
–


the

seat belt pretensioner to hold the
occupant in the seat, and the force
limiter;
–

the front air bag.

METHODS OF RESTRAINT IN ADDITION TO THE FRONT SEAT BELTS (2/3)
Driver’s and passenger air
bags
These may be fitted to the front seats
on the driver and passenger side (loca-
tion
A).
Each air bag system consists of:
–

a
n air bag and gas generator fitted
on the steering wheel for the driver
and in the dashboard for the front
passenger;
–

an
electronic unit for system monitor-
ing which controls the gas generator
electrical trigger system;
–

a special warning light å;
–

remote sensors.
The air bag system uses
pyrotechnic principles. This
explains why, when the air
bag inflates, it will gener-
ate heat, produce smoke (this does
not mean that a fire is about to start)
and make a noise upon detonation.
An air bag may inflate immediately,
causing some minor, superficial
grazing to the skin or other discom-
fort.
Operation
This system is only operational when
the ignition is switched on.
If a severe frontal impact occurs, the
air bag(s) inflate(s) rapidly, cushion-
ing the impact of the driver’s head and
chest against the steering wheel and
the front passenger’s head against the
dashboard. The air bag then deflates
immediately so that the passengers are
not impeded in any way when they get
out of the vehicle.

Dispositifs de retenue complémentaires (H79 - Dacia)
ENG_NU_898-5_H79_Dacia_1
Additional methods of restraint
The airbag is designed to complement the action of the seat belt. Both the
airbags and seat belts are integral parts of the same protection system.
It is therefore essential to wear the seat belt at all times. If seat belts are
not worn, the occupants are exposed to the risk of serious injury in the
event of an accident. It may also increase the risk of minor superficial injuries
occurring when the airbag is deployed, although such minor injuries are always
possible with airbags.
If the vehicle should overturn or suffer a rear impact, however severe, the pre-
tensioners and air bags are not always triggered. Impacts to the underside of the
vehicle, e.g. from pavements, potholes or stones, can all trigger these \
systems.
–

N

o work or modification whatsoever may be carried out on any part of the
driver or passenger air bag system (air bag, electronic unit, wiring, etc.), except
by qualified personnel from our Network.
–

T

o ensure that the system is in good working order and to avoid accidental trig-
gering of the system which could cause injury, only qualified personnel from
our Network may work on the air bag system.
–

As

a safety precaution, have the air bag system checked if your vehicle has
been involved in an accident, or is stolen or broken into.
–

When
selling or lending the vehicle, inform the user of these points and hand
over this driver’s handbook with the vehicle.
–

When
scrapping your vehicle, contact your approved Dealer for disposal of the
gas generator(s).
All of the warnings below are given so that the air bag is not obstructed in any
way when it is inflated and also to prevent the risk of serious injuries caused
by items which may be dislodged when the air bag inflates.
ADDITIONAL METHODS OF RESTRAINT
Operating faults
Indicator light 1, å, lights up when
the ignition is switched on and goes out
after a few seconds.
If it does not light up when the ignition
is switched on, or if it lights up when the
engine is running, it indicates a fault in
the system. In this case, fitting a child
seat in the front passenger seat is
PROHIBITED.
Contact an approved dealer as soon
as possible. Your protection will be re-
duced until this fault is rectified.

DANGER
Since front passenger air
bag triggering and the po-
sition of a rear-facing child
seat are incompatible, it is not per-
mitted to fit such a seat in this posi-
tion unless the vehicle is fitted with an
air bag deactivation device. The child
may suffer very serious injuries if the
air bag inflates.
The markings on the dashboard and
on each side of passenger sun visor

Operating faults
It is forbidden to fit a rear-facing child
seat to the front passenger seat if the
air bag activation/deactivation system
is faulty.
Allowing any other passenger to sit in
that seat is not recommended.
Contact your approved dealer as soon
as possible.
Activation of the front
passenger air bag
(depending on vehicle)
You should reactivate the airbag as
soon as you remove the child seat from
