ENG_NU_817-9_B90_Dacia_2
On versions with an automatic gear-
box, it is preferable to keep the gear
lever in position D.
– Do not try to maintain the same
speed up a hill, accelerate no more
than you would on the level. Keep
your foot in the same position on the
accelerator pedal.
– Double declutching and accelerating
before switching off are unnecessary
in modern vehicles.
– Poor weather conditions, flooded
roads. Do not drive through water if it
is higher than the lower edge of the
wheel rim.Exhaust gas monitoring
system
The exhaust gas monitoring system de-
tects operating faults in the vehicle’s
antipollution system. These faults may
cause mechanical damage or the re -
lease of harmful substances.
ÄThis warning light on the in -
strument panel will indicate if
there are any faults in the system:
This comes on when the ignition is
switched on and goes out after three
seconds.
– If it comes on continuously, consult
an approved dealer as soon as pos-
sible.
– If it flashes, reduce the engine speed
until the light stops flashing. Contact
an approved dealer as soon as pos-
sible.
Driving– Drive carefully for the first few miles
until the engine reaches its normal
operating temperature, rather than
let it warm up while the vehicle is sta-
tionary.
ADVICE: antipollution, fuel economy and driving (2/3)
Driving problems
On the driver ’s side, only
use mats specially adapted
for the vehicle and attached
to prefitted devices. Check regularly
to make sure they are secure. Do
not overlay several mats.
Risk of pedals jamming .
– Speed is expensive.
– Sporty driving uses a lot of fuel: drive
with a light right foot.
– Study the road ahead so that you are
able to brake as little as possible, it
can be sufficient just to lift off the ac-
celerator.
– Avoid sudden acceleration.
– Do not overrev the engine in the in-
termediate gears. Always use the
highest gear possible without labour-
ing the engine.

Roof bars
ROOF BARS
Access to the mounting
points
(depending on the vehicle)
Open the doors. Behind seal 2 are
blanking bolts 1 which protect the
mounting bolt locations.
When fitting roof bars, replace the
blanking bolts with the mounting bolts
supplied with the roof bars.
Never remove blanking
bolts 1 without plugging the
holes afterwards.
Once they are secured on
to the vehicle, the mount -
ing bolts should never be
removed (risk of damag -
ing the vehicle). Only bolts supplied
originally with the roof bars should
be used to fit the roof bars onto the
vehicle.
For information on the range of
equipment adapted to your ve -
hicle, we advise you to consult
an approved Dealer. Refer to the
manufacturer ’s instructions for in -
formation on how to fit and operate

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.
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 an approved dealer at once
if you notice an abnormal or re -
peated drop in any of the fluid levels.
Resetting the alert after an oil
change
(depending on the vehicle)
If you change the oil yourself, you will
need to reset the oil change warning.
To do this, after switching on the igni -
tion, for ten seconds you must:
– Depress the accelerator pedal fully,
– with your foot on the accelerator, de-
press the brake pedal three times in
succession.
Reinitialisation is complete when the
# indicator light goes out. If this is
not the case, repeat the operation.
Special case : if you change the oil
before the oil change interval exceeded
warning is displayed, it will also be nec-
essary to reset the display. In this case,
the
# warning light comes on for
approximately 5 seconds to confirm the
reset.
Never run the engine in an
enclosed space as exhaust
gases are poisonous.

BODyWORK MAINTENANCE (2/3)
y ou should
–
Respect local regulations about
washing vehicles (e.g. do not wash
your vehicle on a public highway).
– Always follow the recommenda -
tions supplied with the high-pressure
cleaning equipment (jet distance and
pressure).
– Before using a roller type car wash,
put the windscreen wiper stalk in
Park position (refer information
on the “Windscreen wash/wipe” in
Section 1), check that the external
accessories, additional lights, and
mirrors are securely fitted and that
the wiper blades and radio aerial are
taped down.
Remove the radio aerial mast if your
vehicle is fitted with this equipment.
Remember to remove the tape and
refit the antenna after washing. –
Wash your vehicle frequently with
the engine off , using shampoo ap -
proved by our Technical Department
(never use abrasive products) and
rinse thoroughly using a warm or
cold water jet (never hot):
– spots of tree resin and industrial
grime;
– the layer of dust or mud and any
insects;
– bird droppings , which contain
chemicals that rapidly discolour
paintwork and may even cause
the paint to peel off ;
Wash the vehicle immediately to
remove these marks since it is im-
possible to remove them by pol -
ishing; –
salt deposited in the wheel arches
and underneath the body after
driving in areas where the roads
are chemically treated;
– mud in the wheel arches and un-
derneath the body which form
damp patches.
– Clean mud and sand from the
wheels, in particular the inside of the
wheels and the brakes, as this can:
– reduce the braking efficiency and
damage the components of the
braking system;
– cause vibrations in the bodywork
and steering column.
We have selected special products
to care for your vehicle and you can
obtain these from approved dealer
accessory outlets.

Removing/refitting factory
fitted removable equipment
in the vehicle
If you need to remove equipment to
clean the passenger compartment (e.g.
mats), always make you refit it properly
and on the correct side (driver’s side
mats must be fitted on the driver’s side,
etc.), using retaining components sup-
plied with the equipment (e.g. the driv-
er’s side mat must always be secured
using prefitted retaining devices).
In all cases, with the vehicle stationary,
ensure that nothing can hinder driving
(obstacle underneath the pedals, heel
trapped by the mat, etc.).
What you should not do
You are strongly advised not to place
items such as air fresheners, perfume
etc. near the air vents as these could
damage the dashboard fittings.
INTERIOR TRIM MAINTENANCE (2/2)
You are strongly recom -
mended not to use high -
pressure or spray cleaning
equipment inside the pas -
senger compartment: this equip -
ment could impair the correct func-
tioning of the electrical or electronic
components in the vehicle, or have
other detrimental effects.

TYRE INFLATION KIT (3/3)
Once the tyre is inflated correctly:
– stop using the kit;
– close the integrated cap on the bottle
again;
– disconnect adapter 8; –
a ff i x d r i v i n g r e c o m m e n d a t i o n
label 10 to the dashboard where it
can easily be seen by the driver;
– store the kit;
– after the first inflation procedure the
tyre will still be leaking; it is vital to
drive in order to plug the hole;
– start immediately and drive at be -
tween 12 and 36 mph (20 and
60 km/h) to distribute the product
evenly throughout the tyre, stopping
after a distance of 2 miles (3 kilome-
tres) to check the pressure; –
if the pressure is above 1.3 bar but
lower than the recommended pres -
sure, readjust it (refer to the label
affixed to the edge of the driver ’s
door), otherwise contact an ap -
proved dealer: repair is not possible.
Note : after using the inflation kit, you
should visit an approved dealer to re -
place the inflation hose and the bottle
of repair product.
Precautions when using the
kit
The kit should not be operated for more
than 15 consecutive minutes.
Important: a missing or
loose valve cap may com -
promise the tyre seal and
cause a loss of pressure.
Always use valve caps which are
identical to the originals and fully
tightened.
Following repair with the kit,
do not travel further than
120 miles (200 km). In addi -
tion, reduce your speed and
under no circumstances exceed 48
mph (80 km/h). The sticker, which
you must affix in a prominent posi -
tion on the dashboard, reminds you
of this.
Depending on the country or local
legislation, a tyre repaired with the
tyre pressure kit will need to be re-
placed.
Nothing should be placed
around the driver ’s feet
as such objects may slide
under the pedals during
sudden braking manoeuvres and
obstruct their use.

you may tow the vehicle with all four
wheels on the ground, only going for -
ward, with the gear lever in the N posi-
tion, and for a distance not exceeding
30 miles (50 km).
If the lever is stuck in P,
even though you are de -
pressing the brake pedal,
the lever can be released
manually.
To do this, unclip the cover at the
base of the lever.
