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.

– After cleaning your vehicle, check
the brakes while driving at low speed
to ensure that the braking efficiency
has not been reduced by the water.
If it has, depress the brake pedal
gently while driving to dry the brakes.
–

Check

the drain holes at the bottom
of the doors to make sure they are
not blocked.
–

Inspect

the wheels regularly to check
for any traces of impacts or corro-
sion. These can damage the tyre or
cause it to lose pressure.
–

K

eep well away from the vehicle in
front when driving on gravelled sur-
faces to prevent paint damage.
–

R

epair, or have repaired quickly,
patches where the paint has been
damaged to prevent corrosion
spreading. –

to inflate the tyre to
the recommended pressure (check
the label affixed to the edge of the
driver’s door);
–
after
a maximum of
5 minutes, stop
inflating and read the pressure (on
the pressure gauge

);
Note: while the bottle is emptying
(approximately 30 seconds), pres-
sure gauge

it, continue inflating with the kit, to
reduce it, turn button 7 located on
the inflation adapter.
If a minimum pressure of 1.8 bar is
not reached after 15 minutes, repair
is not possible; do not drive the vehi-
cle but contact an approved dealer .
Before using this kit, park
the vehicle at a sufficient
distance from traffic, switch
on the hazard warning
lights, apply the handbrake, ask all
passengers to leave the vehicle and
keep them away from traffic.

evenly throughout the tyre, stopping
after a distance of 2 miles (3 kilome-
tres) to check the pressure; –
if
the pressure is greater than 1.3
bar
b
ut less than the recommended
pressure (refer to the label affixed to
the edge of the driver’s door), read-
just it; otherwise, please contact an
authorised dealer: the tyre cannot be
repaired.
Note : after using the inflation kit, you
should visit an approved dealer to re-
place the inflation hose and the bottle
of repair product.
Precautions when using the
kit
The kit should not be operated for more
than 15 consecutive minutes.
Important: a missing or
loose valve cap may com-
promise the tyre seal and
cause a loss of pressure.
Always use valve caps which are
identical to the originals and fully
tightened.
Following repair with the kit,
do not travel further than
120 miles (200 km). In addi-
tion, reduce your speed and
under no circumstances exceed
48
m

ph (80 km/h). The sticker,
which you must affix in a prominent
position on the dashboard, reminds
you of this.
Depending on the country or local
legislation, a tyre repaired with the
tyre pressure kit will need to be re-
placed.
Nothing should be placed
around the driver ’s feet
as such objects may slide
under the pedals during
sudden braking manoeuvres and
obstruct their use.

CHANGING A WHEEL (2/2)
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.
Note : ensure that the emergency
spare wheel or punctured wheel and
the wheel tray are correctly posi-
tioned so that the luggage compart-
ment carpet can be properly fitted.
Tighten the bolts, checking that the
wheel is correctly positioned on its hub
and lower the jack.
With the wheels on the ground, tighten
the bolts firmly, beginning on side
5 ,
then

7, 9, 6, and finishing with 8. Check
the tightness (tightening torque 105
Nm), and the pressure of the emer-
gency spare wheel’s tyre as soon as
possible.
If the vehicle is not equipped with a
jack or wheelbrace, you can obtain
these from your approved dealer.

“Changing a wheel” in Section 5.
TYRES (2/3)
Tyre pressures
Adhere to the tyre pressures (including
the emergency spare wheel). The tyre
pressures should be checked at least
once a month and additionally before
any long journey (refer to the label af-
fixed to the edge of the driver’s door).
Incorrect tyre pressures
lead to abnormal tyre wear
and unusually hot running.
These are factors which
may seriously affect safety and lead
to:
–

poor road holding;
–


r

isk of blowouts or throwing a
tread.
The tyre pressure depends on the
load and speed of use; adjust the
pressures according to the condi-
tions of use (refer to the information
on “Tyre pressures” in Section 4).
For safety reasons, this op-
eration must be carried out
by a specialist.
Fitting different tyres may
change your vehicle as follows:
–

it

may mean that your vehicle no
longer conforms to current regu-
lations;
–

It

may change the way it handles
when cornering;
–

I

t may cause the steering to be
heavy;
–

i

t may affect the use of snow
chains.
Please be aware that a poorly tightened or missing valve cap can make
the tyres less airtight and may lead to pressure loss. Always use valve
caps of the same type as the originals and tighten them fully.
Fitting new tyresPressures should be checked when the
tyres are cold; ignore higher pressures
which may be reached in hot weather
or following a fast journey.
If tyre pressures cannot be checked
when the tyres are cold, assume an in-
crease of 0.2 to 0.3 bar.
Never deflate a hot tyre.
Special note
Depending on the vehicle, there may
be an adapter which needs to be posi-
tioned on the valve before air is added.
Your vehicle is equipped with large
wheels. These are more sensitive
to imbalance. If you experience vi-
bration while driving, contact an ap-
proved dealer.

OPERATING FAULTS (2/5)
On the road POSSIBLE CAUSESWHAT TO DO
Vibrations. Tyres not inflated to correct pres-
sures, incorrectly balanced or dam-
aged.Check the tyre pressures; if this is not the
cause, have their condition checked by an
approved dealer.
Mud or snow in the wheels. Clean the vehicle, particularly the wheels
(refer to the information on “Bodywork
maintenance/engine compartment” in
Section 4).
Abnormal white smoke from the ex-
haust. Mechanical fault: damaged cylinder
head gasket.
orStop the engine.
Contact an approved dealer.
This is not necessarily a fault.
Smoke may be caused by
regeneration of the particle filter. Refer to the information on “Special
features of diesel versions” in Section 2.
The oil pressure warning light comes
on: on a bend or under braking The engine oil level is too low. Top up the engine oil (refer to the informa-
tion on “Engine oil level, topping up/refilling”

It
is important to comply with the towing weights, governed by local legislation in each country and, in particular, laid down in
the Road Traffic Regulations. Contact an authorised dealer for any towing equipment m\
odifications.
–

For
vehicles fitted with a trailer, the gross train weight (vehicle + trailer) must never be exceeded . However, the following
is tolerated:
–

the Maximum permissible wei
ght at the rear may be exceeded by no more than 15%,
–

the maximum permissible all-
up weight may be exceeded by no more than 10% or 100 kg (whichever occu\
rs first).
In

either case, the maximum speed of the vehicle and trailer must not exceed 60 mph (100 kph) and the tyre pressures must
be increased by 0.2 bar (3 PSI).
–

The
engine output and climbing capability are reduced with altitude. We recommend that the maximum load be reduced by 10%
at an altitude of 1,000 metres and by an additional 10% for each 1,000 m\
etres thereafter.
The weights shown are for a basic vehicle without options: they will vary depending on the equipment level of your ve-
hicle. Please consult an authorised dealer.
