echnical specifications at the time of writing. This hand-

fitted to the vehicle depends on the version, options selected and the c\
ountry where the vehicle is sold.
This handbook may also contain information about items of equipment to b\
e introduced later in the model year.
Throughout the manual, the «approved dealer» is your DACIA dealer.
