With the ignition on, pull stalk 1
towards you.
A
brief pull will trigger a single sweep
of the wipers, in addition to the wind-
screen washer.
A longer pull will trigger three sweeps
of the wipers, in addition to the wind-
screen washer.
In frosty weather, make sure that
the wiper blades are not stuck by ice
(risk of motor overheating).
Keep an eye on the condition of the
blades. They should be replaced as
soon as they become less efficient.
This will occur approximately once
a year. Clean your windscreen reg-
ularly.
If you switch off the ignition before
switching off the windscreen wiper
(position
A )
the blades will stop at
random on the windscreen.
After switching the ignition back on,
simply move stalk

place them in the park position.
Before touching the wind-
screen (washing the vehi-
cle, de-icing, cleaning the
windscreen, etc.) move

to position A (park). Risk of
injury and/or damage.When working in the engine
compartment, ensure that
the windscreen wiper stalk
is in position A (park). Risk
of injury.

Transmission : 4 roues motrices (4WD) (H79 - Dacia)
ENG_NU_898-5_H79_Dacia_2
Jaune NoirNoir texte
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:
–
a
t 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
m
ph (60
k
m/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
t he “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.

ment. If you want to shut off the flow of
air completely and stop the system, set
control
C to 0.
The system is deactivated: the ventila-

Before using the rear wiper, check that no object is obstructing the travel of the
blade.
In frosty weather, make sure that the wiper blades are not stuck by ice (to avoid
the risk of the motor overheating).
Keep an eye on the condition of the blades. Replace the wiper blades as soon as
they begin to lose efficiency (approximately once a year).
Regularly clean your rear screen.

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.
We have selected special products
to care for your vehicle and you can
obtain these from the manufactur-
er’s accessory outlets.
