Batterie (H79 Ph2 - Dacia) ENG_NU_1079-6_H79Ph2_Dacia_4
BATTERY (1/2)
Battery 1 does not require any mainte-
nance.
Handle the battery with care
as it contains sulphuric acid,
which must not come into
contact with eyes or skin. If
it does, wash the affected area with
plenty of cold water and consult a
doctor, if necessary.
Ensure that naked flames, red hot
objects and sparks do not come into
contact with the battery as there is a
risk of explosion.
1
The charge status of your battery can
decrease especially if you use your
vehicle:
– for short journeys;
– for driving in town;
– when the temperature drops;
– after extended use of consumers
(radio etc.) with the engine switched
off.
Replacing the battery
As this operation is complex, we advise
you to contact an approved Dealer.
As the battery is specific
to the vehicle (presence of
a ventilation pipe to expel
corrosive and explosive
gases), make sure that it is replaced
with a battery that enables this pipe
to be connected. Please contact an
authorised dealer.
Deactivate the Stop and
Start function for any opera-
tion performed in the engine
compartment.

TOWING: breakdown (1/3)
Before any towing, put the gears into
neutral (neutral position for vehicles
equipped with a manual gearbox or N
position for vehicles equipped with an
automatic gearbox).
Unlock the steering column; the igni-
tion key must be in “M” position (ig-
nition) to enable signalling (“Stop”
lights, hazard warning lights, etc.).
Always switch on the lights when
driving at night.
Release the parking brake.
It is also essential to observe the towing
regulations imposed by current legisla-
tion in your country. Please contact an
authorised dealer.
Front and rear towing pointsOnly use the front 1 and rear 2
towing points.
Depending on the vehicle, unclip the
cover 3 by inserting a flat tool under the
cover.
When the engine is stop-
ped, steering and braking
assistance are not opera-
tional.
Do not remove the key from
the ignition when the vehi-
cle is being towed.
– Use a rigid towing bar. If a rope or cable is used (where the law allows
this), the vehicle being towed must be able to brake.
– A vehicle must not be towed if it is not fit to be driven.
– Avoid accelerating or braking suddenly when towing, as this may result
in damage being caused to the vehicle.
– When towing a vehicle, it is advisable not to exceed 30 mph (50 km/h).
– Do not push the vehicle if the steering column is locked.
These towing points may only be used
for towing: never use them for lifting the
vehicle directly or indirectly.

TOWING: breakdown (2/3)
4-wheel drive vehicles (4WD)
Whichever type of gearbox is fitted, a
4WD vehicle must never be towed if
any of its 4 wheels are touching the
ground.
Off-road recovery
If your vehicle is stuck in sand, snow
or mud, attach a flexible towing device
(towing belt or other device specially
designed for this purpose) to the front
or rear towing point (refer to the in-
formation on “Front and rear towing
points” on the previous page).
For off-road recovery, it
is forbidden to use a rigid
bar to tow a vehicle that is
stuck. Risk of mechanical
damage.You must never tow a 4-wheel drive
vehicle, irrespective of the mode se-
lected, if one of the 4 wheels is in
contact with the ground (except for
off-road recovery). Risk of mechani-
cal damage.
Refer to the manufacturer’s instruc-
tions for information on how to fit
and operate the equipment.
If a 4x4 (4WD) vehicle becomes
stuck, it should only be towed for a
short distance. Risk of mechanical
damage.
Do not leave the tools unse-
cured inside the vehicle as
they may come loose under
braking.

Towing a vehicle with an
automatic gearbox
When the engine is switched off, the
gearbox is no longer lubricated. It is
preferable to tow this type of vehicle
on a trailer or, for 4x2 (2WD) vehicles
only, tow it with the rear wheels off the
ground.
Under exceptional circumstances
and for 4x2 (2WD), vehicles only, you
may tow the vehicle with all four wheels
on the ground, only going forward, with
the gear lever in neutral position N and
for a distance not exceeding 30 miles
(50 km).
If the gear lever cannot be put into the
N position, please consult an authori-
sed dealer.
When setting off, if the lever is locked
in position P even though you are pres-
sing the brake pedal, the lever can be
released manually.
To do this, unclip the base of the lever,
simultaneously press recess 4 and the
unlocking button 5.Depending on the vehicle, unclip the
base of the lever, then insert a tool
(rigid rod) into the slot 6 and simulta-
neously press the button 7 in order to
unlock the lever.
Contact an authorised dealer as soon
as possible.

ACCESSORIES
Electrical and electronic accessoriesBefore installing this type of accessory (particularly for transmitters/receivers: frequency bandwidth, power level, posi-
tion of the aerial, etc.), make sure it is compatible with your vehicle. Consult an authorised dealer. Connect accessories
with a maximum power of 120 Watts only. Fire hazard.
No work may be carried out on the vehicle’s electrical or radio circuits, except by authorised dealers: an incorrectly connected
system may result in damage being caused to the electrical equipment and/or the components connected to it. In the case of
subsequent fitting of electrical equipment, ensure that it is properly protected by a fuse. Establish the rating and position of
this fuse.
Use of transmission/receiving devices (telephones, CB equipment etc.).Telephones and CB equipment with integrated aerials may cause interference to the electronic systems originally fitted to the
vehicle: it is advisable only to use equipment with an external aerial. Furthermore, we remind you of the need to conform
to the legislation in force concerning the use of such equipment.
Fitting after-market accessoriesIf you wish to install accessories on the vehicle: please contact an authorised dealer. Furthermore, to ensure the correct opera-
tion of your vehicle, and to avoid any risk to your safety, we recommend that you use only accessories specifically designed for
your vehicle, which are the only accessories for which the manufacturer will provide a warranty. If you are using an anti-theft
device, only attach it to the brake pedal.
Obstructions to the driverOn the driver’s side, only use mats suitable for the vehicle, attached with the pre-fitted components, and check the fitting regu-
larly. Do not lay one mat on top of another. There is a risk of wedging the pedals.
Special features of LPG versionsCertain LPG versions are not compatible with towbars. Please contact an authorised dealer before attempting any installation.
Furthermore, to ensure the correct operation of your vehicle, and to avoid any risk to your safety, we recommend that you use
only accessories specifically designed for your vehicle, which are the only accessories for which the manufacturer will provide
