Lights-on reminder buzzer
If you have left the lights on after switch-
ing off the ignition, a warning buzzer will
sound when a front door is opened (to
prevent the battery from discharging,
etc.).
As a safety precaution,
the doors should only be
opened or closed when the
vehicle is stationary.
Driver’s responsibility
when parking or stopping
the vehicle
Never leave an animal,
child or adult who is not self-suffi-
cient alone on your vehicle, even for
a short time.
They may pose a risk to themselves
or to others by starting the engine,
activating equipment such as the
electric windows or by locking the
doors.
Also, in hot and/or sunny weather,
please remember that the tempera-
ture inside the passenger compart-
ment increases very quickly.

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.

Stopping the engine
With the engine idling, turn the key

Starting the engine
In very cold conditions (temperatures
below –20°C): so that it is easier to
start the engine, switch on the ignition
for several seconds before starting the
engine.
Make sure the engine immobiliser is not
activated. Refer to the information on
the “Engine immobiliser” in Section 1.
Starting/stopping the engine
STARTING/STOPPING THE ENGINE
Never leave your vehicle with the key or remote control inside and never leave a child (or a pet) unsupervised, even
for a short while.
The reason for this is that the child may endanger himself or others by starting the engine, activating equipment such
as the window winders for example, or locking the doors.
Risk of serious injury.
Never switch off the ignition before the vehicle has stopped completely. Once the engine has stopped, the brake servo,
power assisted steering and passive safety equipment such as air bags wi\
ll no longer operate.
The steering is locked when the key is removed.

Advice: antipollution, fuel economy and driving
By virtue of its design, moderate fuel
consumption and initial settings, your
vehicle conforms to current antipol-
lution regulations. The manufacturer
is actively striving to reduce pollutant
exhaust gas emissions and to save
energy. But the fuel consumption of
your vehicle and the level of pollutant
exhaust gas emissions are also your
responsibility. Ensure that it is main-
tained and used correctly.Maintenance
It should be noted that failure to respect
antipollution regulations may lead to
legal action being taken against the
vehicle owner. In addition, replacing
engine, fuel supply system and exhaust
components with parts other than those
originally recommended by the manu-
facturer may alter your vehicle so that
it no longer complies with antipollution
standards. Have your vehicle adjusted
and checked by an authorised dealer,
in accordance with the instructions
given in your maintenance schedule:
they will have all the equipment nec-
essary for ensuring that your vehicle is
maintained to its original standard.
Engine adjustments
Air filter, diesel filter: a choked ele-
ment hinders performance. It must be
replaced. Exhaust gas monitoring system
The exhaust gas monitoring system will
detect any operating faults in the vehi-
cle’s antipollution system.
If this system malfunctions, toxic sub-
stances may be released into the at-
mosphere or damage may occur.
ÄThis warning light on the in-
strument panel will indicate if
there are any faults in the system:
This lights up when the ignition is
switched on and goes out when the
engine is started.
–

If

it lights up continuously, consult an
approved Dealer as soon as possi-
ble;
–

if

it flashes, reduce the engine speed
until the light stops flashing. Contact
your approved dealer as soon as
possible.

Conseils : antipollution, économies de carburant, conduite (H79 - Da\

ENG_NU_898-5_H79_Dacia_2
ADVICE: antipollution, fuel economy and driving (3/3)
– In vehicles fitted with air condi-
tioning, it is normal to observe an
increase in fuel consumption (es-
pecially in urban conditions) when
it is used. For vehicles fitted with
manual air conditioning, switch off
the system when it is not required.
Advice for reducing consumption
and therefore helping to preserve
the environment:
If the vehicle has been parked in the
sun, open the doors for a few mo-
ments to let the hot air escape before
starting the engine.
–

N
ever fill the fuel tank right to the
brim to avoid overflow.
–

D
o not leave an empty roof rack
fitted to the vehicle.
–

It
is better to fit a trailer for bulky ob-
jects.
–

W
hen towing a caravan, fit a wind
deflector and adjust it carefully.
Advice on use
– Electricity is fuel; switch off all the electrical components which are
not really needed. However (safety
first), keep your lights on when the
visibility is bad (“see and be seen”).
–

U
se the air vents. Driving with the
windows open at 60 mph (100 km/h)
will increase fuel consumption by
4%. –

A
void using the vehicle for door-to-
door journeys (short journeys, with
long stops in-between) because in
these conditions, the engine never
reaches its ideal temperature.
Tyres
Increased fuel consumption could be
the result of:
–

insuf
ficient pressure,
–

using non-recommended tyres.

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.
