SPECIAL FEATURES OF PETROL VERSIONS
The following operating conditions:
– driving for long periods when the low
fuel level warning light is lit up,
– using leaded petrol,
– using oil or fuel additives which are
not approved by the manufacturer.
Or operating faults such as:
– faulty ignition, running out of fuel or
spark plug disconnected resulting in engine misfiring and hesitation 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 operat- ing faults, have the necessary repairs carried out as soon as possible by your approved dealer.
These faults may be avoided by regularly taking your vehicle to your approved dealer at the intervals specified in your Maintenance Service Booklet.
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 starting fault.
If the fault cannot be identified, do not continue to try and start the engine, but contact an approved dealer.
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.

Conseils antipollution, économies de carburant
The manufacturer is acively striving to reduce pollutant exhaust gas emissions and to save energy.
By virtue of its design, moderate fuel consumption and initial settings, your vehicle conforms to current antipollu- tion regulations. Technical design, how- ever, cannot achieve all. The fuel con- sumption of your vehicle and the level of pollutant exhaust gas emissions are very much within your control. Make sure that your vehicle is maintained correctly, and is driven carefully.
Maintenance
It should be noted that failure to respect antipollution regulations may lead to legal action being taken against the vehicle owner. In addition, replacing engine, fuel supply system and exhaust components with parts other than those originally recommended by the manu- facturer may alter your vehicle so that it no longer complies with antipollution regulations.
Have your vehicle checked and ad- justed by your approved dealer in ac- cordance with the instructions in your Maintenance Service Booklet.
Your approved dealer has all the equipment necessary for ensuring that your vehicle is maintained to its original standard.
Engine adjustments
– ignition: this does not require ad- justment.
– spark plugs: for optimum fuel econ- omy, efficiency and performance the specifications laid down by our Design Department must be strictly applied.
If the spark plugs have to be changed, use the make, type and gap specified for your vehicle’s engine. Contact an approved Dealer as soon as possi- ble.
–
idle speed: this does not require ad- justment.
–
air filter, diesel filter: a choked el- ement hinders performance. It must be replaced.

ENG_UD5486_1Environnement (U90 - Dacia)ENG_NU_817-2_NU_Dacia_2
Environnement
ENVIRONMENT
Your vehicle has been designed with the aim of caring for the environment.
– Most versions are equipped with a
particle filter system including a cat- alytic converter, an oxygen sensor and an active carbon filter (the latter prevents vapour from the fuel tank being released into the open air.)
–
These vehicles operate with un- leaded fuel only.
– 87% of the parts in your vehicle
can
be recycled and it already contains parts made using recycled materi- als.
– 95% of the plastic components
in your vehicle are marked with a symbol which allows the principal component material to be identified. These markings mean that parts re- moved can be sorted more easily, making it easier to recycle them.
In addition to this, your vehicle meets the requirements laid down in European legislation relating to environmental protection.
Make your contribution towards pro- tection of the environment too.
Do not dispose of parts replaced in the course of routine vehicle maintenance (battery, oil filter, air filter, etc.) and oil containers (empty or full of used oil) with household waste.
Dispose of them through specialist or- ganisations. In all cases, comply with local legislation.

AIR CONDITIONING: information and advice on use
Fuel consumption
You will normally notice an increase in fuel consumption (especially when driving in town) when the air conditioning is operating.
For vehicles fitted with manual air conditioning, switch off the system when it is not required.
Some advice for reducing fuel consumption and therefore help- ing to protect the environment:It is advisable to drive with the vents open and the windows closed.
If the vehicle has been parked in the sun, open the doors for a few moments to let the hot air escape before starting the engine.
Maintenance
Refer to the Maintenance Service Booklet for your vehicle for the in- spection frequency.
Operating faults
As a general rule, contact your approved dealer in the event of an operating fault.
No cold air is being produced.
Check that the controls are set cor- rectly and that the fuses are sound. Otherwise, switch off the system.
Do not open the refriger- ant fluid circuit. The fluid may damage the eyes or skin.
Presence of water under the ve- hicle. After prolonged use of the air conditioning system, it is normal for water to be present under the ve- hicle. This is caused by condensa- tion.

It is normal for an engine to use oil for lubrication and cooling of moving parts and it is sometimes necessary to top up the level between oil changes.
However, contact your approved dealer if more than 0.5 litres is being con- sumed 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.

ENGINE OIL LEVEL
Reading the oil level
The vehicle must be parked on level ground and the engine should have been switched off for some time before- hand to obtain an accurate reading.
– take out the dipstick
1;
– wipe the dipstick using a clean, lint
- free cloth;
– push in the dipstick as far as it will
go;
– take out the dipstick again;
– read the level: it should never fall

below minimum mark B or exceed
maximum mark A.
A
B
1
Exceeding the maximum engine oil level
The oil level should only be read with the dipstick as explained above.
If the oil level exceeds the maximum level, do not start your vehicle and contact an approved dealer.
Under no circumstances must maximum fill level A be exceeded: risk of damage to the engine and catalytic converter.
Consult your approved dealer at once if you notice an abnormal or repeated drop in any of the fluid levels.

ENGINE OIL LEVEL (continued)
Topping up/filling
The vehicle must be parked on level ground and the engine should be cold (for instance, before the engine is started up for the first time in the day).
Engine oil grade
Refer to the Maintenance Service Booklet for your vehicle for information regarding which grade of oil to use. –
Unscrew cap
2;
– top up the level (as a guide, the ca- pacity between the minimum and
maximum reading on dipstick 1 is between 1.5 and 2 litres, depending on the engine);
– wait approximately 10 minutes to allow the oil to flow into the engine;
– check the level using dipstick 1 (as described above).
Do not exceed the maximum level and
do not forget to refit cap 2.When working in the engine compartment, ensure that the windscreen wiper stalk is in the park position.
Risk of injury.

Engine oil grade
Refer to the Maintenance Service Booklet for your vehicle for information regarding which grade of oil to use.
Filling: take care when topping up the oil that no oil drips onto engine components - risk of fire. Remember to refit the cap securely as there is a risk of fire if oil splashes onto hot engine components.
Engine oil change: if you are changing the oil when the engine is hot, be careful not to scald yourself if the oil overflows.
Never run the engine in an enclosed space as exhaust gases are poisonous.
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.
Consult your approved dealer at once if you notice an abnormal or repeated drop in any of the fluid levels.
