Fuel tank (filling with fuel)
FUEL TANK (1/3)
Usable capacity of the fuel tank:
50 litres approximately.
Fuel filler cap: this is spe-
cific to the vehicle type. If
you have to replace it, make
sure the new cap is of the
same type. Contact an approved
dealer.
Never place the cap near a source
of heat or flame.
Do not wash the filler area with a
high-pressure washer.

To open fuel flap A, insert your finger in
recess B.
To close, push the fuel filler flap A by
hand as far as it will go. Depending
on the vehicle, the cap 1 is unlocked
using the ignition key. If not, it will be
connected to the vehicle by a strip of
plastic. For details on filling the fuel
tank, please refer to the information on
“Filling with fuel”.
There is a cap holder 2 on the fuel filler
flap for holding the cap when the tank is
being filled.

Conseils : antipollution, économies de carburant, conduite (H79 - Da\
cia)
ENG_NU_898-5_H79_Dacia_2
ADVICE: antipollution, fuel economy and driving (3/3)
– In vehicles fitted with air condi -
tioning, it is normal to observe an
increase in fuel consumption (es -
pecially in urban conditions) when
it is used. For vehicles fitted with
manual air conditioning, switch off
the system when it is not required.
Advice for reducing consumption
and therefore helping to preserve
the environment:
If the vehicle has been parked in the
sun, open the doors for a few mo -
ments to let the hot air escape before
starting the engine.
– Never fill the fuel tank right to the
brim to avoid overflow.
– Do not leave an empty roof rack
fitted to the vehicle.
– It is better to fit a trailer for bulky ob-
jects.
– When towing a caravan, fit a wind
deflector and adjust it carefully.
Advice on use
– Electricity is fuel; switch off all the
electrical components which are
not really needed. However (safety
first), keep your lights on when the
visibility is bad (“see and be seen”).
– Use the air vents. Driving with the
windows open at 60 mph (100 km/h)
will increase fuel consumption by
4%. –
Avoid using the vehicle for door-to -
door journeys (short journeys, with
long stops in-between) because in
these conditions, the engine never
reaches its ideal temperature.
Tyres
Increased fuel consumption could be
the result of:
– insufficient pressure,
– using non-recommended tyres.

Bodywork maintenance, engine compartment
BODyWORK MAINTENANCE, ENGINE COMPARTMENT (1/3)
A well-maintained vehicle has a longer
service life. It is therefore recom -
mended that attention is paid to the out-
side of the vehicle on a regular basis.
Protection against the effects
of corrosive agents
Although your vehicle has been treated
with very effective anti-corrosion prod -
ucts, it nevertheless remains subject to
the effects of:
– corrosives in the atmosphere
– atmospheric pollution (urban and in-
dustrial areas);
– saline atmosphere (near the sea,
particularly in hot weather);
– seasonal and damp climatic condi -
tions, (e.g.: road salt in winter, water
from road cleaners, etc.).
– abrasives
Wind-borne dust and sand, mud, road grit thrown up by other vehicles, etc.
– minor impacts
You should take a minimum number of
precautions in order to safeguard your
vehicle against such risks and not to
lose the benefit of your vehicle’s anti -
corrosion protection.
y ou should not:
– Degrease or clean mechanical com-
ponents, underneath the body, parts
with hinges (eg. fuel filler cap, inside
the fuel flap) and painted plastic ex-
ternal fittings (eg. bumpers) using
high-pressure cleaning equipment
or by spraying on products not ap -
proved by our Technical Department.
If adequate precautions are not
taken, this could cause corrosion or
lead to operational faults.
– Aim a high pressure water jet directly
onto damaged parts of the vehicle
(eg. painted bumpers, lights, etc.).
Wash these parts carefully by hand.
– Wash the vehicle in bright sunlight or
freezing temperatures. –
Use hard brushes to clean alloy
wheels. These can scratch or
damage the wheel’s protective coat-
ing.
– Scrape off mud or dirt without
prewetting.
– Allow dirt to accumulate.
– Allow rust to form following minor im-
pacts.
– Use solvents not approved by the
Technical Department to remove
stains as this could damage the
paintwork.
– Drive when the vehicle is muddy or
covered in snow (the wheel arches,
underneath the body, radiator, etc.
must always be free from mud or
snow).
It is forbidden to wash the engine compartment using a high-pressure
water jet: this risks damaging the electrical/electronic components in the
engine compartment.
A label affixed in the engine compartment reminds you of this.
