WARNING LIGHTS (3/4)
The presence and operation of the warning lights DEPEND ON THE EQUIPMENT\
AND COUNTRY.
ÄToxic Fume Filter System
Warning Light
It comes on when the ignition is
switched on and then goes out.
– 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.
Refer to the information “Advice on
antipollution, fuel economy and driving”
in Section 2.
DHandbrake on and brake cir-
cuit incident warning light
If it lights up, check that the hand brake
is fully released. If not, it indicates that
the fluid level is low in one of the cir -
cuits. It may be dangerous to continue
driving, contact an approved dealer.
fRear fog light tell-tale
ÆSTOP light
This lights up when the ignition
is switched on and goes out as soon as
the engine is started. It lights up at the
same time as other warning lights, and
is accompanied by a beep.
It requires you to stop immediately, for
your own safety, as soon as traffic con-
ditions allow.
Switch off the engine and do not restart
it.
Consult an approved dealer.
gFront fog light tell-tale
^Water in the diesel filter
warning light
If it remains lit or comes on while driv-
ing, it indicates that water is present in
the diesel filter. Contact an approved
dealer as soon as possible.
ÅDoor status warning light
This indicates the status of the doors
(or tailgate).

Petrol injection
Engine warm or cold
– Turn the key to the start position
without depressing the accelera -
tor.
– 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.
Turn the key to starter position D with-
out depressing the accelerator
pedal.
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.

Conseils : antipollution, économies de carburant, conduite (H79 - Da\
cia)
ENG_NU_898-5_H79_Dacia_2
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.
– Speed is expensive.
– Sporty driving uses a lot of fuel: drive
with a light right foot.
– Brake as little as possible. If you an-
ticipate an obstacle or bend in ad -
vance, you may then simply release
the accelerator pedal.
– Avoid sudden acceleration.
ADVICE: antipollution, fuel economy and driving (2/3)
– Double declutching and accelerating
before switching off are unnecessary
in modern vehicles.
– 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.
– Do not overrev the engine in the in-
termediate gears. Always use the
highest gear possible without labour-
ing the engine.
On versions with an automatic gear-
box, it is preferable to keep the gear
lever in position D.
Your vehicle has a greater
ground clearance than an
ordinary passenger vehicle.
This gives it a higher centre
of gravity, making it more suscepti-
ble to rolling during sudden or ag -
gressive manoeuvres, or when cor-
nering at high speeds.
Take extra care when the vehicle is
loaded (in particular when the load
is on the roof).
Ensure that all passengers are
wearing their seat belts.
A label affixed to the sun visor re -
minds you of this.
Vehicles with 4x4 (4WD) trans -
mission
On flat, level ground, with the vehi-
cle unladen, you are recommended
to start in second gear.
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 .

GEAR LEVER, HANDBRAKE
To select reverse gear(vehicle stationary)
Follow the grid shown on knob 1.
The reversing light will come on as
soon as reverse gear is selected (igni -
tion on).
An impact to the underside of the vehicle (eg. striking a post, raised kerb
or other street furniture) may result in damage to the vehicle (eg. defor-
mation of an axle).
To prevent any risk of accident, have your vehicle checked by an ap -
proved dealer.
Handbrake
To release
Pull lever 2 up slightly, press button 3
and then lower the lever to the floor. To apply
Pull lever
2 upwards and make sure the
vehicle is immobilised.
W h e n t h e v e h i c l e i s
stopped, depending on the
gradient and/or the vehicle
load, it may be necessary to
apply the handbrake by at least two
further notches and engage a gear
(1
st or reverse).
When driving, make sure
the handbrake is com -
pletely released.
Risk of overheating.

TRANSMISSION: 4-wheel drive (4WD) (3/4)
Electronic stability program and
traction control when driving off -
road
(vehicles equipped with ESP)
When driving on soft ground (sand,
mud, deep snow), we recommend that
you deactivate the ESP function by
pressing the “ESP” switch.
In this case, only individual wheel brak-
ing remains active. This function ap -
plies the brake to any wheel that is slip-
ping, allowing the engine torque to be
transferred to the wheels with the most
grip. This is particularly useful when
crossing a bridge.
All the ESP functions will be reactivated
when the vehicle speed reaches ap -
proximately 30 mph (50 km/h), (36 mph
(60 km/h) in “4WD Lock” mode), or
when the engine is restarted, or when
the “ESP” button is pressed again.Operating faults
If the system detects an operating
fault, it automatically switches to “2WD”
mode, and the
‘ and Ò warn-
ing lights come on.
Drive as soon as possible at a moder-
ate speed to an approved dealer.
For certain operating faults, the system
may not be able to switch to “2WD" or
"4WD Lock" mode. "AUTO" mode re -
mains active.
Contact an approved dealer as soon as
possible.
In this case, we recommend that you
stop as soon as possible to allow the
system to cool down (until the warning
light stops flashing).
Cooling may take up to five minutes.
If the system detects excessive wheel
-
spin on the front wheels, it adapts the
engine to run in a way that reduces
wheelspin.
Anti-lock braking in “ LOCK” mode
(vehicles equipped with ABS)
When “4WD Lock" mode is active, the
ABS switches to off-road mode. In this
case, the wheels may lock intermit -
tently to achieve better grip, thus reduc-
ing braking distances on soft ground.
When this mode is active:
– the vehicle’s manoeuvrability is lim -
ited during braking. This operating
mode is therefore not recommended
in very low-grip conditions (eg. ice).
– there may be some noise. This is
normal, and does not indicate an op-
erating fault.

DRIVER CORRECTION DEVICES/AIDS (2/4)
Emergency brake assist with
electronic brake distribution
(depending on the vehicle)
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
– If the x warning light on the in-
strument panel comes on while you
are driving, the brakes will still
work normally without ABS;
– If the
x and D warning
lights on the instrument panel come
on while you are driving, there is a
fault in the braking system.
In both cases, consult an approved
Dealer.
Yo u r b r a k i n g s y s t e m s
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.
