TYRE PRESSURE LOSS WARNING (4/7)
SYSTEM A (cntd.)
Relaunch SEt tP
Warning light
 flashes for several
seconds, then stays on.
It indicates that the request to reset the
reference tyre pressure value must be
relaunched.
System unavailable
Warning light
 flashes for several
seconds, then stays on.
Indicates that the vehicle is fitted with
an emergency spare wheel which is
smaller than the other four and is fitted
to the vehicle.
System to be checked
The warning light
 flashes for
several seconds, then stays on, along
with the orange warning light
Ò.
They indicate a system fault. Please
consult an authorised dealer.Readjustment of tyre pressures
The tyre pressures must be adjusted
when cold (please refer to the label lo-
cated on the edge of the driver’s door).
If tyre pressures cannot be checked
when the tyres are cold, the recom-
mended pressures should be increased
by 0.2 to 0.3 bar (3 PSI).
Never deflate a hot tyre.
After each reinflation or readjustment of
the tyre pressure, launch the reinitiali-
sation of the tyre pressure reference
value.
Replacing wheels/tyres
Only use equipment approved by the
brand network, or the system risks
being activated late or not operating
correctly. Please see the information on
“Tyres” in Section 5.After each change of wheel/tyre, rea-
djust the tyre pressure and launch the
reset of the tyre pressure reference
value.
Emergency spare wheel
If fitted on the vehicle, readjust the tyre
pressure and launch the reinitialisation
of the tyre pressure reference value.
Inflation kit
Only use equipment approved by the
brand network, or the system risks
being activated late or not operating
correctly. Please refer to “Tyre inflation
kit” in Section 5.
After using the tyre inflation kit, readjust
the tyre pressure and launch the reini-
tialisation of the tyre pressure reference
value.

TYRE PRESSURE LOSS WARNING (5/7)
SYSTEM B
Operating principle
Each wheel (except for the emergency
spare wheel) has a sensor in the infla-
tion valve which periodically measures
the tyre pressure while driving.
Warning light
 1 comes on to
alert the driver in the event of insuffi-
cient pressure (deflated wheel, punc-
tured tyre, etc.).Resetting the standard level for the
tyre pressures
This should be performed:
– when the standard tyre pressure
needs to be changed to adapt to
usage conditions (empty, carrying a
load, motorway driving, etc.);
– after changing wheels around;
– after changing a wheel.
It should always be done after checking
the tyre pressure of all four tyres when
cold.
Tyre pressures must correspond to the
current usage of the vehicle (empty,
carrying a load, motorway driving, etc.).
This function is an addi-
tional driving aid.
However, the function does
not take the place of the
driver. It cannot, therefore, under
any circumstances replace the vig-
ilance or the responsibility of the
driver.
Check the tyre pressures, including
the emergency spare wheel, once a
month.

Transmission : 4 roues motrices (4WD) (H79 Ph2 - Dacia) ENG_NU_1079-6_H79Ph2_Dacia_2
TRANSMISSION: 4-wheel drive (4WD) (2/4)
This problem may be resolved by chan-
ging the tyres. Always use four identi-
cal tyres (same brand, profile, etc.) and
with similar wear.
In the event of excessive wheelspin,
the mechanical components may be
overheating.
If this happens:
– at 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 is travelling at a
speed of more than approximately
49.6 mph (80 km/h) or if it is travel-
ling at a speed of between 37.2 and
49.6 mph (60 and 80 km/h) for more
than one minute in «4WD Lock" mode,
the system automatically switches back
to "AUTO" mode. The warning 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
the “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.

TRANSMISSION: 4-wheel drive (4WD) (4/4)
All-wheel drive system
– Irrespective of the mode selected, do not start the engine if one or more wheels are not in contact with the ground
(eg. when the vehicle is on a jack or roller bench).
– Do not turn the mode selector when cornering, reversing or if the wheels are spinning excessively. Only select the
“2WD”, “AUTO” or “4WD Lock” mode when the vehicle is being driven in a straight line.
– Only use tyres which meet the required specifications.
– “4WD Lock” mode is reserved solely for use off-road. The use of this mode in any other conditions may adversely affect the
vehicle’s manoeuvrability and damage its mechanical components.
– Always ensure tyres with identical specifications are fitted to all four wheels (brand, size, structure, wear etc.). Fitting tyres
of different sizes to the front and rear wheels and/or left and right wheels may have serious consequences for the tyres,
gearbox, transfer gearbox and the rear differential pinions.

TYRES (4/4)
Snow or Winter tyres
We would recommend that these be
fitted to all four wheels to ensure that
your vehicle retains maximum adhe-
sion.
Warning: These tyres sometimes
have a specific direction of rotation
and a maximum speed index which
may be lower than the maximum
speed of your vehicle.
Studded tyres
This type of equipment may only be
used for a limited period and as laid
down by local legislation.
It is necessary to observe the speed
specified by current legislation.
These tyres must, at a minimum, be
fitted to the two front wheels.
In all cases, we would recommend
that you contact your approved
dealer who will be able to advise you
on the choice of equipment which is
most suitable for your vehicle.
Use in winter
Chains
2-wheel drive version (2WD)
Snow chains must be fitted to the
front wheels.
4-wheel drive version (4WD)
Snow chains may be fitted to only the
front wheels, or to all four wheels.
It is forbidden to fit snow
chains to only the rear
wheels.
Snow chains may only be
fitted to tyres of the same size as
those originally fitted to your vehicle.
Only certain chains can be fitted to
tyres.
Consult an approved dealer.
