Transmission : 4 roues motrices (4WD) (H79 Ph2 - Dacia) ENG_NU_1079-6_H79Ph2_Dacia_2
TRANSMISSION: 4-wheel drive (4WD) (3/4)
Electronic stability program and
traction control when driving off-
road
(vehicles equipped with ESC)
When driving on soft ground (sand,
mud, deep snow), we recommend that
you deactivate the ESC function by
pressing the “ ESC” switch.
In this case, only individual wheel bra-
king 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 ESC 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), when
the engine is restarted or when the
“ESC” button is pressed again.Operating faults
If the system detects an operating
fault, it automatically switches to “2WD”
mode, and the
‘ and Ò war-
ning lights come on.
Drive as soon as possible at a mode-
rate 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 whee-
lspin 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 redu-
cing braking distances on soft ground.
When this mode is active:
– the vehicle’s manoeuvrability is limi-
ted during braking. This operating
mode is therefore not recommended
in very low-grip conditions (eg. ice).
– there may be some noise. This is
normal, and does not indicate an
operating fault.

Dispositifs de correction et d’assistance à la conduite (H79 Ph2 - Dacia) ENG_NU_1079-6_H79Ph2_Dacia_2
ABS (anti-lock braking
system)
Under heavy braking, the ABS prevents
the wheels from locking, allowing the
stopping distance to be managed and
keeping control of the vehicle. Under
these circumstances, the vehicle can
be steered to avoid an obstacle whilst
braking. In addition, this system can
increase stopping distances, particu-
larly on roads with low surface grip (wet
ground etc.).
You will feel a pulsation through the
brake pedal each time the system is
activated. The ABS does not in any way
improve the vehicle's physical perfor-
mance relating to the road surface and
roadholding. It is still essential to follow
the rules of good driving practice (such
as driving at a safe distance from the
vehicle in front etc.).
DRIVER CORRECTION DEVICES/AIDS (1/4)
Depending on the vehicle, this is com-
posed of:
– the ABS (anti-lock braking
system);
– the emergency brake assist;
– electronic stability control (ESC)
with understeer control and trac-
tion control.
– hill start assistance.
These functions are an ad-
ditional aid in the event of
critical driving conditions,
enabling the vehicle beha-
viour to be adapted to suit the dri-
ving conditions.
However, the functions do not take
the place of the driver. They do
not increase the vehicle’s limits
and should not encourage you
to drive more quickly. Therefore,
they can under no circumstances
replace the vigilance or responsibi-
lity of the driver when manoeuvring
the vehicle (the driver must always
be ready for sudden incidents which
may occur when driving).
In an emergency, apply firm and
continuous pressure to the brake
pedal. There is no need to pump
it repeatedly. The ABS will modu-
late the force applied in the braking
system.
Special feature of 4-wheel drive vehi-
cles
In 4WD Lock mode, the system may
lock the wheels briefly to optimise the
braking distance on very wet ground
(snow, mud, sand, etc.).

DRIVER CORRECTION DEVICES/AIDS (4/4)
Hill start assistance
This function assists the driver when
starting on hills. It prevents the vehicle
from rolling forwards or backwards by
automatically applying the brakes when
the driver lifts their foot off the brake
pedal to depress the accelerator pedal.
It only operates when the gear lever is
in a position other than neutral (other
than N or P for automatic transmis-
sions) and the vehicle is completely
stationary (brake pedal depressed).
The system holds the vehicle for ap-
proximately 2 seconds. The brakes are
then gradually released (the vehicle will
move according to the slope). Operating principle
A sensor in the steering wheel detects
the direction selected by the driver.
Other sensors throughout the vehicle
measure the actual direction.
The system compares driver input to
the actual trajectory of the vehicle and
corrects the trajectory if necessary by
controlling the braking of certain wheels
and/or engine power. In the event that
the system is engaged, the indicator
light
 flashes on the instrument
panel.
Operating faults
When the system detects an opera-
ting fault the warning lights
Ò and
 appear on the instrument panel.
In this case, the Electronic Stability
Program ESC with understeer control
and traction control are deactivated.
Please consult an authorised dealer if
these warning lights remain displayed
on the instrument panel after the igni-
tion is switched off and on again.
The hill start assistance
system cannot completely
prevent the vehicle from
rolling backwards in all sit-
uations (extremely steep gradients,
etc.).
In all cases, the driver may depress
the brake pedal to prevent the
vehicle from rolling forwards or
backwards.
The hill start assistance function
should not be used for prolonged
stops: use the brake pedal.
This function is not designed to im-
mobilise the vehicle permanently.
If necessary, use the brake pedal to
stop the vehicle.
The driver must remain particularly
vigilant when driving on slippery or
low-grip surfaces and/or on hills.
Risk of serious injury.

Niveau huile moteur : généralités (X52 - H79 Ph2 - Dacia) ENG_NU_1079-6_H79Ph2_Dacia_4
ENGINE OIL LEVEL: general information
Reading the oil levelThe oil level should be read with the ve-
hicle on level ground, after the engine
has been switched off for some time.
The dipstick must be used to read
the exact oil level and make sure
that the maximum level has not been
exceeded (risk of engine damage).
Refer to the following pages.

A
B
Exceeding the maximum
engine oil level
Under no circumstances
must the maximum fill
level B be exceeded: risk of damage
to the engine and catalytic con-
verter.
If the oil level exceeds the maximum
level, do not start your vehicle.
Contact an authorised dealer.
It is normal for an engine to use oil for
lubrication and cooling of moving parts
and it is normal to top up the level be-
tween oil changes.
However, contact your approved
Dealer if more than 0.5 litres is being
consumed every 600 miles (1,000 km)
after the running in period.
Oil change frequency: check the oil
level from time to time and certainly
before any long journey to avoid the
risk of damaging your engine.
Consult your approved dealer at
once if you notice an abnormal or
repeated drop in any of the fluid
levels.
In order to prevent splashback, it is
recommended that a funnel be used
when topping up/filling with oil.
– remove the dipstick and wipe with a
clean, lint-free cloth;
– push the dipstick in as far as it will
go (for vehicles equipped with a cap-
type dipstick C, screw the cap in as
far as it will go);
– take out the dipstick again;
– read the level: it should never fall
below minimum mark A or exceed
maximum mark B.
Once the operation has been comple-
ted, ensure that the dipstick is pushed
in as far as it will go or that the “cap-
type dipstick” is completely screwed in.
Deactivate the Stop and
Start function for any opera-
tion performed in the engine
compartment.

ENGINE OIL LEVEL: topping up, filling (3/3)
Never run the engine in an
enclosed space as exhaust
gases are poisonous.
Resetting the alert after an oil
change
(depending on the vehicle)
If you change the oil yourself, you will
need to reset the oil change warning.
To do this, after switching on the igni-
tion, for ten seconds you must:
– Depress the accelerator pedal fully,
– with your foot on the accelerator, de-
press the brake pedal three times in
succession.
Reinitialisation is complete when the
# indicator light goes out. If this is
not the case, repeat the operation.
Special case: if you change the oil
before the oil change interval exceeded
warning is displayed, it will also be nec-
essary to reset the display. In this case,
the
# warning light comes on for
approximately 5 seconds to confirm the
reset.
The engine may be hot
during operations in close
proximity. In addition, the
engine cooling fan may
come on at any moment.
Risk of injury.
Exceeding the maximum
engine oil level
Under no circumstances
must the maximum fill level
be exceeded: risk of damage to the
engine and catalytic converter.
If the oil level exceeds the maximum
level, do not start your vehicle.
Contact an authorised dealer.
Deactivate the Stop and
Start function for any opera-
tion performed in the engine
compartment.
Oil change
Service interval: refer to the
Maintenance Document for your vehi-
cle.
Oil change capacity
Please refer to the maintenance docu-
ment for your vehicle, or contact an au-
thorised dealer.
Always check the engine oil level using
the dipstick, as explained previously (it
should never fall below the minimum
level, or be over the maximum level on
the dipstick).

BATTERY (1/2)
Battery 1 does not require any mainte-
nance.
Handle the battery with care
as it contains sulphuric acid,
which must not come into
contact with eyes or skin. If
it does, wash the affected area with
plenty of cold water and consult a
doctor, if necessary.
Ensure that naked flames, red hot
objects and sparks do not come into
contact with the battery as there is a
risk of explosion.
1
The charge status of your battery can
decrease especially if you use your
vehicle:
– for short journeys;
– for driving in town;
– when the temperature drops;
– after extended use of consumers
(radio etc.) with the engine switched
off.
Replacing the battery
As this operation is complex, we advise
you to contact an approved Dealer.
As the battery is specific
to the vehicle (presence of
a ventilation pipe to expel
corrosive and explosive
gases), make sure that it is replaced
with a battery that enables this pipe
to be connected. Please contact an
authorised dealer.
Deactivate the Stop and
Start function for any opera-
tion performed in the engine
compartment.
