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

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.

Refitting windscreen wiper blades
To refit the wiper blade, proceed in the
reverse order to removal. Make sure
that the blade is correctly locked in po-
sition.
Check the condition of the wiper
blades. You are responsible for their
service life:
– clean the blades, windscreen and
rear screen regularly with soapy
water;
– do not use them when the wind-
screen or rear screen are dry;
– free them from the windscreen or
rear screen when they have not
been used for a long time.
– In frosty weather, make
sure that the wiper blades
are not stuck by ice (to
avoid the risk of the motor
overheating).
– Check the condition of the wiper
blades.
Replace the wiper blades as soon
as they begin to lose efficiency
(approximately once a year).
Whilst changing the blade, take care
not to drop the arm onto the window
after it has been removed as this
may break the window.
