Particularités des versions essence
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.

ADVICE ON ANTIPOLLUTION, FUEL ECONOMY AND DRIVING (continued)
– In vehicles fitted with air condi- tioning, it is normal to observe an increase in fuel consumption (es- pecially in city conditions) when it is used. 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 air
vents open and the windows closed.
– If the vehicle has been parked in the
sun, open the doors for a few mo- ments to let the hot air escape before starting the engine.
– Never fill the fuel tank to the brim to
avoid overflow.
– Do not leave an empty roof rack
fitted to the vehicle.
– It is better to fit a trailer for bulky ob
- jects.
– When towing a caravan, fit a wind
deflector and adjust it carefully.
Advice on use
– Electricity is fuel; switch off all the electrical components which are not really needed.
However (safety first), keep your lights on when the visibility is bad (“see and be seen”).
– Use the air vents. Driving with the
windows open will increase fuel consumption by 4% at a speed of 60 mph (100 km/h). –
Avoid using the vehicle for door-to
- door journeys (short journeys, with long stops in-between) because in these conditions, the engine never reaches its ideal temperature.
Tyres
Increased fuel consumption could be the result of:
– insufficient pressure,
– using non-recommended tyres.

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.
