FRONT SEATS (1/2)
To move forwards or
backwards
Lift bar 1 to release.
Release the bar 1 once the seat is in
the correct position and ensure that the
seat is fully locked into place.
To raise or lower the driver’s
seat surface
Depending on the vehicle, move the
handle 2, adjust the seat base to the
desired height, then release the lever.
Heated seats
Depending on the vehicle, with the igni-
tion on, press switch 3.
The system, which has a thermostat,
decides whether or not the heating is
needed.
To exit this function, press switch 3
again.For safety reasons, carry
out any adjustments when
the vehicle is not being
driven.
We would advise you not to recline
the seatbacks too far to ensure that
the effectiveness of the seat belts is
not reduced.
Make sure that the seatbacks are
correctly locked in place.
Nothing should be placed on the
floor (area in front of driver) as such
objects may slide under the pedal
during braking manoeuvres, thus
obstructing its use.

Sécurité enfants : fixation du siège enfant (X52 - Dacia)
ENG_NU_993-5_X52_Dacia_1
CHILD SAFETY: child/baby seat mounting (1/3)
Attachment via the seat belt
The seat belt must be adjusted to
ensure that it is effective in the event of
harsh braking or an impact.
Ensure that the strap paths indicated
by the child seat manufacturer are re-
spected.
Always check that the seat belt is cor-
rectly fastened by pulling it up, then
pulling it out fully whilst pressing on the
child seat.
Check that the seat is correctly held by
moving it from side to side and back
to front: the seat should remain firmly
fixed.
Check that the child seat has not been
installed at an angle and that it is not
resting against a window.
The seat belt must never
be twisted or the tension
relieved. Never pass the
shoulder strap under the
arm or behind the back.
Check that the seat belt has not
been damaged by sharp edges.
If the seat belt does not operate nor-
mally, it will not protect the child.
Consult an approved dealer. Do not
use this seat until the seat belt has
been repaired.
Do not use the child seat
if it may unfasten the seat
belt restraining it: the base
of the seat must not rest on
the buckle and/or catch of the seat
belt.
No modifications may be
made to the component
parts of the restraint system
(belts, ISOFIX and seats
and their mountings) originally fitted.
Before using an ISOFIX
child seat that you pur-
chased for another vehicle,
check that its installation is
authorised. Consult the list of ve-
hicles which can be fitted with the
seat with the equipment manufac-
turer.
Attachment with the ISOFIX system
Authorised ISOFIX child seats are ap-
proved in accordance with regulation
ECE-R44 in one of the three following
scenarios:
– ISOFIX universal 3 point forward- facing seat;
– ISOFIX semi-universal 2 point seat;
– specific.
For the latter two, check that your child
seat can be installed by consulting the
list of compatible vehicles.
Attach the child seat with the ISOFIX
locks, if these are provided. The ISOFIX
system allows quick, easy, safe fitting.
The ISOFIX system is made up of 3
rings for each rear side seat.

Tableau de bord : témoins lumineux (X52 - Dacia)
ENG_NU_993-5_X52_Dacia_1
WARNING LIGHTS (3/4)
The presence and operation of the warning lights DEPEND ON THE EQUIPMENT\
AND COUNTRY.
ÉPreheating warning light (on
diesel version)
This should come on when the igni-
tion is switched on. It indicates that the
heater plugs are in operation. It goes
out after preheating is sufficient and the
engine can be started.
åAirbag warning light
This comes on when the igni-
tion is switched on and goes out after
a few seconds. If it does not come on
when the ignition is switched on or if it
flashes, there is a fault in the system.
Contact an approved Dealer as soon as
possible.
ÚBattery charge warning light
If it comes on when you are
driving, it indicates that the circuit has
discharged. Stop and consult an ap-
proved Dealer as soon as possible.
xAnti-lock braking warning
light
This lights up when the ignition is
switched on and goes out after a few
seconds.
If it does not go out after the ignition is
switched on, or lights up when driving,
there is a fault with the ABS. Braking
will then be as normal, without the ABS
system.
Contact an approved Dealer as soon as
possible.
LLow fuel level warning light
This comes on when the igni-
tion is switched on and goes out after a
few seconds. If it comes on when driv-
ing accompanied by a beep, fill up with
fuel as soon as possible. There is only
approximately 30 miles (50 km) worth
of fuel left after the warning light first
comes on.
ÀOil pressure warning light
This lights up when the ignition
is switched on and goes out after a few
seconds.
If the warning light comes on while driv-
ing, accompanied by a beep, it is es-
sential to stop and switch off the igni-
tion.
Check the oil level (refer to “Engine oil
level: general information” in Section
4). If the level is normal, the light has
come on for another reason: Consult an
authorised dealer straight away.

Operating faults
– If the
x warning light on the ins-
trument panel comes on while dri-
ving, braking is still operational ;
– If the
x and D warning
lights on the instrument panel come
on when driving, this indicates a
fault with the braking system.
ABS, ESP and emergency brake assist
are deactivated.
Consult an approved dealer.
Depending on the vehicle, this is com-
posed of:
– of the ABS (anti-lock braking
system);
– electronic stability control ESC
with understeer control and trac-
tion control ASR ;
– emergency brake assist;
– 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).
Your braking systems
are partially operational.
However, it is dangerous
to brake suddenly and
it is essential to stop immediately,
as soon as traffic conditions allow.
Contact an approved dealer.
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 vehi-
cle can be steered to avoid an obstacle
whilst braking. In addition, this system
can increase stopping distances, parti-
cularly 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 per-
formance relating to the road surface
and road-holding. 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.).
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.

DRIVER CORRECTION DEVICES/AIDS (3/4)
Emergency brake assist
This system supplements the ABS
and helps reduce vehicle stopping dis-
tances.
Operating principle
The system is for detecting an emer-
gency braking situation. In this case,
the braking assistance immediately de-
velops maximum power and may trig-
ger ABS regulation.
ABS braking is maintained as long as
the brake pedal is applied.
Hazard warning lights switching on
Depending on the vehicle, these may
light up in the event of sudden decele-
ration.
Operating faults
When the system detects an operating
fault, the warning light
x is dis-
played on the instrument panel.
Consult an approved dealer.
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.

lity of the driver when manoeuvring
the vehicle (the driver must always
be ready for sudden incidents which
may occur when driving).

Régulateur-limiteur de vitesse : fonction régulateur (X52 - Dacia\
)
ENG_NU_993-5_X52_Dacia_2
The cruise control function helps you to
maintain your driving speed at a speed
that you choose, called the cruising
speed.
This cruising speed may be set at any
speed above 20 mph (30 km/h).
This function is an additio-
nal driving aid. However,
the function does not take
the place of the driver.
Therefore, it can under no circums-
tances replace the driver’s responsi-
bility to respect speed limits and to
be vigilant (the driver must always
be ready to brake).
Cruise control must not be used in
heavy traffic, on undulating or slip-
pery roads (black ice, aquaplaning,
gravel) and during bad weather (fog,
rain, side winds etc.).
There is a risk of accidents.
The cruise control function
is in no way linked to the
braking system.
Controls
1 Main “On/Off” switch.
2 Cruising speed activation, storage and increase switch (+).
3 Decreasing cruising speed (-).
4 Activation with recall of saved crui- sing speed (R).
5 Switch the function to standby (with cruising speed saved) (O).

CRUISE CONTROL/SPEED LIMITER: cruise control function (3/4)
Exceeding the cruising speed
The cruising speed may be exceeded
at any time by depressing the accele-
rator pedal. While it is being exceeded,
the cruising speed flashes on the ins-
trument panel.
Then, release the accelerator: after a
few seconds, the vehicle will automa-
tically return to its set cruising speed.
Cruising speed cannot be
maintained
When driving down a steep gradient,
the system is unable to maintain the
cruising speed: the stored speed will
flash on the instrument panel informa-
tion display to inform you of this situa-
tion.
Adjusting the cruising speed
The cruising speed may be changed by
pressing the following repeatedly:
– switch 2 (+) to increase the speed,
– switch 3 (-) to decrease the speed.
The cruise control function
is in no way linked to the
braking system.

Driving in automatic mode
Each time the ignition is switched on,
starting in neutral, place the lever to D
to be able to shift directly to automatic
mode.
The letter A appears on the display.
The vehicle is controlled using the ac-
celerator and the brake. Gears will
change automatically at the correct
moment and at a suitable engine speed
because automatic mode takes into
consideration the road surface and the
chosen driving style.
Note:
Automatic mode takes account of:
– the position and speed of depression of the accelerator pedal to assess
driving style and select the optimum
gear,
– action on the brake pedal, to com- mence engine braking in preparation
for a downshift.
When stopped at traffic lights, with the
gear engaged, you can keep the ve-
hicle stationary by pressing the brake
pedal without changing to neutral N.
The vehicle will move off again:
– either slowly, if you release the brake
without accelerating (e.g. when in a
traffic jam),
– or quickly, if you release the brake and accelerate.
Economical driving
When driving, always leave the lever
in position D , keeping the accelerator
pedal lightly depressed to ensure auto-
matic gear changes at a lower engine
speed.
SEQUENTIAL GEARBOX (4/6)
Accelerating and overtaking
– slowly depress the accelerator pedal to accelerate gradually,
– to obtain maximum vehicle per- formance regardless of the mode
selected (automatic or manual),
quickly depress the accelerator
pedal beyond the kickdown point.
The speed with which you depress
the pedal will allow you to downshift
according to the vehicle’s capabili-
ties.
If the engine is being overrevved or
underevved, the system will select
the optimal gear.

Parking
When the vehicle is immobilised
– on a flat stretch of road, engage the
handbrake then switch off the igni-
tion,
– on a slope, it is possible to keep a gear engaged by positioning the
lever to position D or R, engage the
handbrake and switch off the igni-
tion.
Bleep
Never leave the vehicle with the engine
running when in gear. For safety rea-
sons, you will hear an intermittent
beeping sound when you open the door
if you have not shifted into neutral.
SEQUENTIAL GEARBOX (5/6)
An impact to the underside
of the vehicle (e.g.: striking
a post, raised kerb or other
street furniture) may result
in damage to the vehicle (e.g.: de-
formation of an axle).
To avoid any risk of accident, have
your vehicle checked by an ap-
proved Dealer.
Special circumstances
– If the bends and road surface do
not allow you to stay in automatic
mode (e.g. in the mountains), we
recommend that you change to
manual mode. This will prevent the
automatic gearbox from changing
gear repeatedly when climbing, and
permit engine braking on long de-
scents.
– On a slippery surface or surface
with little grip, change to manual
mode M and select second gear
before accelerating to avoid wheel-
spin.
In very cold weather, the system
may delay the gears from being
shifted while the engine reaches the
right temperature.
