ENG_NU_1079-3_H79Ph2_Dacia_2
Stopping the engineWith the engine idling, turn the key 
back to “Stop” position  St.
Special note
Depending on the vehicle, accessories 
(e.g. radio) stop working either when 
the engine is switched off or when the 
driver’s door is opened or when the 
doors are locked.LPG versionsThe engine is always started using 
petrol:
–  activate the starter without accelerat- ing;
– release the key as soon as the  engine starts.
The system will automatically deter-
mine the switchover from petrol to LPG.
When operating on LPG, the fuel gauge 
may indicate a drop in the petrol level 
and the on-board computer will not op-
erate. 
Every 3,000 miles driven using LPG, 
drivers are recommended to drive for 
around 3 to 6 miles in petrol mode. 
To enable the system to operate 
smoothly and to prevent any wear to 
the vehicle’s electric petrol pump, the 
petrol tank should always be around 
1/4 full.
vehicles with an automatic 
gearbox
Before starting, move the lever to posi-
tion N or P.
Refer to the information on the 
“Automatic gearbox” in Section 2.
Starting the engineIn 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.
When starting the engine, if the outdoor 
temperature is very low (below -10°C): 
hold down the clutch pedal until the 
engine starts.
Make sure the engine immobiliser is not 
activated. Refer to the information on 
the “Engine immobiliser” in Section 1.
Petrol injection
–  Turn the key to the start position  without depressing the accelera-
tor.
–  Release the key as soon as the  engine starts.
ÉDiesel injection     
Turn the ignition key to ignition “On” po-
sition  M, and hold this position until the 
preheating warning light goes out.
Turn the key to starter position D with-
out depressing the accelerator 
pedal.
Release the key as soon as the engine 
starts.
STARTING/STOPPING THE ENGINE
Never leave your vehicle 
with the key or remote con-
trol inside and never leave 
a child (or a pet) unsuper-
vised, even for a short while.
The reason for this is that the child 
may endanger himself or others by 
starting the engine, activating equip-
ment 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 as-
sisted steering and passive safety 
equipment such as air bags will no 
longer operate.
The steering is locked when the key 
is removed.

Transmission : 4 roues motrices (4WD) (H79 - Dacia)
ENG_NU_1079-3_H79Ph2_Dacia_2
4x2 (2WD) and 4x4 (4WD) 
mode selector
Depending on the road conditions, tur-
ning selector  1 enables the following 
modes to be selected:
–  2WD ;
–  AUTO ;
–  4WD Lock.
TRANSMISSION: 4-wheel drive (4WD) (1/4)
“AUTO" mode
To activate this mode, turn the selec-
tor 1 to the “AUTO” position. 
Operating principle
“AUTO” mode automatically distributes 
the engine torque between the front and 
rear axles according to the road condi-
tions and the vehicle speed. This po-
sition optimises roadholding. Use this 
mode on any type of road (dry, snow-
covered, slippery, etc.) or when towing 
(trailer or caravan). This mode is not in-
dicated on the instrument panel.
“2WD" mode
To activate this mode, turn selector 1 to 
the “2WD" position. The 
‘ indica-
tor light will light up on the instrument 
panel.
Operating principle
The “2WD” mode uses the front wheels 
only. Use this mode on dry roads with 
good grip.
Remember that driving a vehicle off-
road is very different to driving it on 
the road.
To make the most of your vehicle 
in an off-road situation, we recom-
mend that you are trained to drive a 
4x4 (4WD) vehicle.
The safety of both you and your 
passengers is your responsibility, 
and depends on your skill and the 
care you take when driving off-road.

Transmission : 4 roues motrices (4WD) (H79 - Dacia)
ENG_NU_1079-3_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 speed exceeds 
36 mph (60 km/h) in 4WD Lock mode, 
the system automatically switches back 
to AUTO  mode. The 
’ indicator 
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) (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.

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 str\
aight 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 m\
ay have serious consequences for the tyres, 
gearbox, transfer gearbox and the rear differential pinions.

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.).

Electronic stability program 
ESC with understeer control 
and traction control
Electronic Stability Program ESC 
(depending on the vehicle)
This system helps you to keep control 
of the vehicle in critical driving condi-
tions (avoiding an obstacle, loss of grip 
on a bend, etc.). Understeer control
This system optimises the action of the 
ESC in the case of pronounced under-
steering (loss of front axle road hold-
ing).
Traction control
This system helps to limit wheelspin of 
the drive wheels and to control the vehi-
cle when pulling away accelerating or 
decelerating.
Deactivating the ESC 
function
In some situations (driving on very wet 
ground: snow, mud, etc. or driving with 
snow chains fitted), the system may 
reduce the engine output to limit whee-
lspin. If this is not required, it is possible 
to deactivate the function by pressing 
switch 1.
The warning light 
 on the instru-
ment panel comes on to warn you of 
this.
If you deactivate this function, the 
traction control system will also be 
deactivated.
With the Electronic Stability Program 
ESC  with understeer control and trac-
tion control providing additional safety, 
you are advised not to drive with the 
function disabled. Correct this as soon 
as possible by pressing the switch 1 
again.
Note:  The function is automatically 
reactivated when the ignition is switched 
on, or when the speed exceeds 30 mph 
(50 km/h) in “AUTO” and “2WD” modes, 
and approximately 36 mph (60 km/h) in 
“4WD Lock” mode.
