Avertisseur de perte de pression des pneumatique (H79 Ph2 - Dacia)
ENG_NU_1079-3_H79Ph2_Dacia_2
TYRE PRESSURE LOSS WARNING (1/3)
If fitted on the vehicle, while driving, this
system notifies the driver if one or more
tyres lose pressure.
Operating principle
Each wheel (except for the emergency
spare wheel) has a sensor in the infla-
tion valve which periodically measures
the tyre pressure while driving.
Warning light
 1 comes on to
notify the driver if the pressure is too
low.
Resetting the standard level
for the tyre pressures
This should be done:
– when the standard tyre pressure needs to be changed to adapt to
usage conditions (empty, carrying a
load, motorway driving, etc.);
– after changing a wheel.
It should always be done after checking
the tyre pressure of all four tyres when
cold.
Tyre pressures must correspond to the
current usage of the vehicle (empty,
carrying a load, motorway driving, etc.).
This function is an additio-
nal driving aid.
However, the function does
not take the place of the
driver. It cannot, therefore, under
any circumstances replace the vi-
gilance or the responsibility of the
driver.
Check the tyre pressures, including
the emergency spare wheel, once a
month.

TYRE PRESSURE LOSS WARNING (2/3)
With the engine stopped:
– repeatedly press the button 3 to
select “SEt tP” on the display 2;
– press and hold (around 3 seconds) button 3 to start initialisation. “SEt tP”
flashes then comes on steady.
When “SEt tP” disappears, the stan-
dard tyre pressure is saved.
Reinitialisation is carried out after a few
minutes’ driving. Note:
The standard tyre pressure cannot be
less than that recommended and indi-
cated on the door frame.
Check tyre pressure
The warning light
 comes on (not
flashing). This indicates that at least
one tyre is flat.
Check and, if necessary, readjust the
pressures of the four wheels when cold.
The warning light
 goes off after a
few minutes’ driving.
Puncture
The warning light  and the red
warning light
Ò light up on the ins-
trument panel, alongside a beep.
This indicates that at least one wheel
is punctured or severely underinflated.
Replace it or contact an authorised
dealer if it is punctured. Top up the tyre
pressure if the wheel is deflated.
Check tyre sensors
The warning light
 flashes for
several seconds, then stays on, along
with the orange warning light
Ò.
This indicates that the sensor on at
least one wheel is missing or faulty.
The sudden loss of pressure in a
tyre (burst tyre, etc.) cannot be de-
tected by the system.

The red warning light Ò
requires you to stop imme-
diately, for your own safety,
as soon as traffic conditions allow.

TYRE PRESSURE LOSS WARNING (3/3)
Readjustment of tyre
pressures
The tyre pressures must be adjusted
when cold (please refer to the label lo-
cated on the edge of the driver’s door).
If tyre pressures cannot be checked
when the tyres are cold, the recom-
mended pressures must be increased
by 0.2 to 0.3 bar (3 PSI).
Never deflate a hot tyre.
Replacing wheels/tyres
This system requires specific equip-
ment (wheels, tyres, hubcaps, etc.).
Contact an approved Dealer to fit new
tyres and to find out about available ac-
cessories compatible with the system
and available from your dealer network:
the use of any other accessory could
affect the correct operation of the
system or damage a sensor.
Emergency spare wheel
If the vehicle is equipped with an emer-
gency spare wheel, it will not have a
sensor.
When fitted to the vehicle, the warn-
ing light
 and the orange warning
light
Ò are displayed on the instru-
ment panel.
Inflation kit
Because the valves are specially desi-
gned, only use equipment approved by
the approved network.

Transmission : 4 roues motrices (4WD) (H79 - Dacia)
ENG_NU_1079-3_H79Ph2_Dacia_2
4x2 (2WD) and 4x4 (4WD)
mode selector
Depending on the road conditions, tur-
ning selector 1 enables the following
modes to be selected:
– 2WD ;
– AUTO ;
– 4WD Lock.
TRANSMISSION: 4-wheel drive (4WD) (1/4)
“AUTO" mode
To activate this mode, turn the selec-
tor 1 to the “AUTO” position.
Operating principle
“AUTO” mode automatically distributes
the engine torque between the front and
rear axles according to the road condi-
tions and the vehicle speed. This po-
sition optimises roadholding. Use this
mode on any type of road (dry, snow-
covered, slippery, etc.) or when towing
(trailer or caravan). This mode is not in-
dicated on the instrument panel.
“2WD" mode
To activate this mode, turn selector 1 to
the “2WD" position. The
‘ indica-
tor light will light up on the instrument
panel.
Operating principle
The “2WD” mode uses the front wheels
only. Use this mode on dry roads with
good grip.
Remember that driving a vehicle off-
road is very different to driving it on
the road.
To make the most of your vehicle
in an off-road situation, we recom-
mend that you are trained to drive a
4x4 (4WD) vehicle.
The safety of both you and your
passengers is your responsibility,
and depends on your skill and the
care you take when driving off-road.

Transmission : 4 roues motrices (4WD) (H79 - Dacia)
ENG_NU_1079-3_H79Ph2_Dacia_2
TRANSMISSION: 4-wheel drive (4WD) (2/4)
This problem may be resolved by chan-
ging the tyres. Always use four identi-
cal tyres (same brand, profile, etc.) and
with similar wear.
In the event of excessive wheelspin,
the mechanical components may be
overheating.
If this happens:
– at first, the
’ warning light
flashes. “4WD Lock” mode is still
active, however we recommend that
you stop as soon as possible to allow
the system to cool down (until the
warning light stops flashing);
– if the wheels still spin, the system au- tomatically switches to “2WD” mode
to protect the mechanical compo-
nents.
The
‘ warning light flashes. The
mode cannot be changed while the
light is flashing.
After one minute, the system switches
to “2WD” or “AUTO” mode depending
on the position of the selector.
Note: if the vehicle speed exceeds
36 mph (60 km/h) in 4WD Lock mode,
the system automatically switches back
to AUTO mode. The
’ indicator
light goes out.
Special features of the
4-wheel drive transmission
The vehicle may make more noise when
the “AUTO" or "4WD Lock" modes are
activated. This is normal. If the system
detects a difference in the dimensions
of the front and rear wheels (eg. un-
derinflation, severe wear on an axle),
the system automatically switches to
"2WD" mode.
The
‘ and Ò warning lights on
the instrument panel come on. Drive as
soon as possible at a moderate speed
to an approved dealer.
To deactivate this mode, turn selector
1
to the “AUTO” position. The
‘ indi-
cator light on the instrument panel goes
out.
“4WD Lock" mode
To activate this mode, turn selector 1 to
the “4WD Lock” position. The selector
the returns to the “AUTO” position. The
’ indicator light will light up on the
instrument panel.
Operating principle
“4WD Lock” mode distributes the
engine torque between the front and
rear axles in order to optimise the per-
formance capacity of the vehicle in off-
road situations. This mode should only
be used in extreme driving conditions
(mud, steep slopes, sand).
To deactivate this mode, turn selector 1
to the “4WD Lock” position again. The
indicator light on the instrument panel
goes out. When the engine is switched
off, the system stays in “4WD Lock”
mode for one minute.

TRANSMISSION: 4-wheel drive (4WD) (3/4)
Electronic stability program and
traction control when driving off-
road
(vehicles equipped with ESC)
When driving on soft ground (sand,
mud, deep snow), we recommend that
you deactivate the ESC function by
pressing the “ ESC” switch.
In this case, only individual wheel bra-
king 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 ESC 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), when
the engine is restarted or when the
“ESC” button is pressed again.Operating faults
If the system detects an operating
fault, it automatically switches to “2WD”
mode, and the
‘ and Ò war-
ning lights come on.
Drive as soon as possible at a mode-
rate 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 whee-
lspin 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 redu-
cing braking distances on soft ground.
When this mode is active:
– the vehicle’s manoeuvrability is limi- ted 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
operating fault.
