FUEL TANK (2/3)
Petrol version
It is essential to use unleaded petrol.
The octane rating (RON) must conform
with the specifications given on the
label inside the fuel filler flap A.
Diesel versions
It is essential to use diesel fuel that
conforms to the specifications given on
the label inside fuel filler flap A.
Filling with fuel
Insert the nozzle to open valve B and
insert it fully before turning it on to fill
the fuel tank (risk of splashing).
Hold it in this position for the whole fill-
ing operation. Following the first auto -
matic shut-off at the end of filling, the
trigger can be pulled two more times at
most, to leave room for expansion.
Make sure that no water enters the fuel
tank during filling. Valve B and its sur -
round must remain clean.
Petrol versions
Using leaded petrol will damage the
antipollution system and may lead to a
loss of warranty.
To ensure that the fuel tank is not filled
with leaded petrol, the fuel tank filler
neck contains a restrictor fitted with a
foolproof system which only allows
the nozzle for unleaded petrol to be
used (at the pump).
Persistent smell of fuel
If you notice a persistent
smell of fuel you should:
– stop the vehicle as soon
as traffic conditions allow and
switch off the ignition;
– switch on the hazard warning
lights and ask your passengers to
leave the vehicle and stay clear
of the traffic;
– contact an approved Dealer.

Vehicle equipped with an automatic
gearbox
Before starting, move the lever to posi-
tion N or P.
Refer to the information on the
“Automatic gearbox” in Section 2.
Petrol injection
Engine warm or cold
– Activate the starter without de-
pressing the accelerator.
– Release the key as soon as the
engine starts.ÉDiesel injection
Turn the ignition key to ignition “On” po-
sition M, and hold this position until the
preheating warning light goes out.
Move the key to “Start” position D with-
out accelerating. Release the key as
soon as the engine starts.
Stopping the engine
With the engine idling, turn the key
back to “Stop” position St.
Starting the engine
In very cold conditions (temperatures
below –20°C): so that it is easier to
start the engine, switch on the ignition
for several seconds before starting the
engine.
Make sure the engine immobiliser is not
activated. Refer to the information on
the “Engine immobiliser” in Section 1.
Starting/stopping the engine
STARTING/STOPPING THE ENGINE
Never leave your vehicle with the key or remote control inside and never leave a child (or a pet) unsupervised, even
for a short while.
The reason for this is that the child may endanger himself or others by starting the engine, activating equipment such
as the window winders for example, or locking the doors.
Risk of serious injury.
Never switch off the ignition before the vehicle has stopped completely. Once the engine has stopped, the brake servo,
power assisted steering and passive safety equipment such as air bags wi\
ll no longer operate.
The steering is locked when the key is removed.

Special features of petrol versions
SPECIAL FEATURES OF PETROL VERSIONS
The following operating conditions:
– driving for long periods when the low
fuel level warning light is lit;
– using leaded petrol;
– using oil or fuel additives which are
not approved by the manufacturer.
Or operating faults such as:
– faulty ignition system, running out of
fuel or disconnected spark plugs re-
sulting in the engine misfiring or cut-
ting out 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 operating
faults, have the necessary repairs car-
ried out as soon as possible by an ap-
proved Dealer.
These faults may be avoided by reg
-
ularly taking your vehicle to your ap -
proved dealer at the intervals speci -
fied in your Maintenance Service
Document.
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.

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.

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.
Operating faults

– Warning light x lights up on the
instrument panel: the ABS is deacti-
vated.
Braking safety is still guaranteed.
–
x and D are lit on the in -
strument panel, this indicates a
fault in the braking system.
In both cases, consult an approved
Dealer.

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.
