RUNNING IN, IGNITION SWITCH
Petrol version
For the first  600 miles (1,000 km), do 
not exceed 78 mph (130 km/h) in the 
highest gear, or 3,000 to 3,500 rpm.
You may only expect top performance 
from your vehicle after approximately 
1,800 miles (3,000 km).
Oil change frequency:  please refer to 
your vehicle’s maintenance document.
Diesel version
For the first  1,000 miles (1,500 km),   
do not exceed 80 mph (130 km/h) in 
the highest gear, or 2,500 rpm. After 
completing this mileage you may drive 
faster, although you may only expect 
top performance after approximately 
3,600 miles (6,000 km).
During the running in period, do not ac-
celerate hard while the engine is still 
cold and do not let the engine over-rev.
Service intervals:  refer to the 
Maintenance Document for your vehi-
cle.

Special note
Depending on the vehicle, accessories 
(e.g. radio) stop working either when 
the engine is switched off or when the 
doors are locked, or when the driver’s 
door is opened.
LPG versions
The engine is always started using 
petrol:
–  activate the starter without accelera-
ting;
– 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 
operate. 
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.
Stopping the engine
With the engine idling, turn the key 
back to “Stop” position  St.
Starting the engine
In 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.
Petrol injection
–  Activate the starter without depres-
sing the accelerator.
–  Release the key as soon as the  engine starts.
ÉDiesel injection
Turn the ignition key to ignition 
“On” position M, and hold this position 
until the preheating warning light goes 
out.
Move the key to “Start” position  D wi-
thout accelerating. Release the key as 
soon as the engine starts.
STARTING/STOPPING THE ENGINE
Never leave your vehi-
cle with the key or remote 
control inside and never 
leave a child (or a pet) un-
supervised, 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.

Particularités des versions essence (X95 - J95 - R95 - Renault)
ENG_NU_975-6_X92_Dacia_2
SPECIAL FEATURES OF PETROL VERSIONS
Do not park the vehicle or 
run the engine in locations 
where combustible sub-
stances or materials such 
as grass or leaves can come into 
contact with the hot exhaust system.
The following operating conditions 
should be avoided:
–  driving for long periods when the low  fuel level warning light is lit;
–  using leaded petrol;
–  using fuel or lubrication additives  which are not approved.
Or operating faults such as:
–  faulty ignition, running out of fuel or  disconnected spark plugs resulting 
in the engine misfiring or cutting out 
when driving;
–  loss of power,
may cause the catalytic converter to 
overheat, reducing its efficiency  which 
may irreparably damage it and cause 
heat damage to the vehicle. If you notice any of the above operating 
faults, have the necessary repairs car-
ried out as soon as possible by an ap-
proved dealer.
These faults may be avoided by regu-
larly taking your vehicle to an approved 
Dealer at the intervals specified in the 
Maintenance Document.
Starting problems
To avoid damaging the catalytic con-
verter, 
do not keep  trying to start the 
engine (using the start button, or by 
pushing or towing the vehicle)  without 
having identified  and corrected the 
cause of the fault.
If the fault cannot be identified, do not 
continue to try and start the engine, but 
contact an approved dealer.

Particularités des versions diesel (X92 - Renault)
ENG_NU_975-6_X92_Dacia_2
SPECIAL FEATURES OF DIESEL VERSIONS
Diesel engine speed
Diesel engines are fitted with an injec-
tion pump which prevents the engine 
speed being exceeded irrespective of 
the gear selected.
When driving, depending on the fuel 
grade used, it is possible that white 
smoke may be emitted. 
This is due to the exhaust particle filter 
being cleaned automatically, and does 
not affect the way the vehicle runs.
Running out of fuel
If the tank has been completely 
drained, the system must be reprimed 
after the tank is refilled: see information 
on the “Fuel tank” in section 1 before 
restarting the engine.Precautions to be taken in winter
To avoid any faults in icy weather:
–  ensure that the battery is always fully 
charged,
–  always keep the diesel tank rela- tively full to avoid water vapour con-
densing in it and accumulating at the 
bottom of the tank.
Do not park the vehicle or 
run the engine in locations 
where combustible sub-
stances or materials such 
as grass or leaves can come into 
contact with a hot exhaust system.

Fuel gauge warning light  A
Warning lights A  (4 green lights and 
1 red light) indicate the level in the LPG 
tank (1 light = approximately 1/5).
The red warning light indicates the fuel 
tank.
The amount of LPG indicated is an in-
dicative value.
The red warning light indicates that 
the tank is almost empty and that the 
engine is operating using the fuel tank 
(approximately 11 to 13 litres).
SPECIAL FEATURES OF LPG VERSIONS (1/3)
LPG vehicles
These vehicles operate using petrol or 
LPG.
They have two separate tanks.
What is LPG?
LPG stands for Liquefied Petroleum 
Gas.
It can be readily identified by its charac-
teristic smell.
An LPG installation on a ve-
hicle may lead to changes 
to the vehicle’s features, 
compared to petrol ver-
sions. This may relate to the number 
of seats, mass (usable capacity) 
and towing capacity.
Contact an authorised dealer.
LPG/petrol fuel mode selection 
control  C
This enables the driver to switch from 
one fuel to another.
Green warning light  D
A lit warning light indicates that LPG 
mode is selected,
Yellow warning light  B
A lit warning light indicates that petrol 
mode is selected.
If the yellow warning light is 
on while the green warning 
light flashes slowly and a 
beep is heard, please take 
your vehicle to an authorised dealer 
for inspection.

Release the accelerator pedal and 
press the control C.
Petrol mode is indicated by the yellow 
warning light  B.
Automatic switch to petrol
The system automatically switches to 
petrol mode if there is no more LPG 
remaining in the tank. You will be in-
formed by:
–  the green D  and yellow B warning 
lights coming on;
–  a beep sounds.
Pressing control  C stops the beep from 
sounding and only the yellow warning 
light B  stays on. Operating fault
In the event of a fault which may affect 
the correct operation of the engine, the 
system automatically switches from 
LPG to petrol mode.
This is confirmed by:
–  the appearance of the yellow warn-
ing light  B;
–  slow flashing of the green warning  light D;
–  a beep sounds.
If the yellow warning light is 
on while the green warning 
light flashes slowly and a 
beep is heard, please take

SPECIAL FEATURES OF LPG VERSIONS (3/3)
If driving under severe 
conditions
If driving under severe conditions 
(heavily laden vehicle, high outside 
temperature, starting on a steep slope, 
etc), you are recommended to switch to 
petrol mode.
In the event of an accident
The main precautions to be taken are 
the same as with petrol vehicles:
–  apply the handbrake;
–  stop the engine (a safety device that  stops  LPG from entering the engine 
is automatically triggered);
–  switch off the ignition;
–  observe local regulations.
LPG has a very specific 
smell so you will be able to 
detect any leaks easily. If 
you smell gas in your vehi-
cle or immediately surrounding your 
vehicle:
–  switch to petrol mode immedi- ately and make sure there are no 
flames or sources of fire near the 
vehicle;
–  go to an authorised dealer.
Do not touch, hit or dis-
mantle any part of the LPG 
system components.

DRIVING ADVICE, ECO-DRIVING (1/4)
Fuel consumption is accredited in ac-
cordance with a standard regulatory 
method. Identical for all manufactur-
ers, this enables vehicles to be com-
pared with one another. Consumption 
in real time depends on vehicle usage 
conditions, the equipment fitted and the 
user’s driving style. To optimise fuel 
consumption, please refer to the follow-
ing advice.
Depending on the vehicle, you will have 
various functions which enable you to 
lower your fuel consumption:
–  the rev counter;
–  gear change indicator;
– ECO mode activated by button ECO.
