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.
–
A
void sudden acceleration.
ADVICE: antipollution, fuel economy and driving (2/3)
– Double declutching and accelerating before switching off are unnecessary
in modern vehicles.
–
D
o 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 .

Transport d’objets dans le coffre (H79 - Dacia)
ENG_NU_898-5_H79_Dacia_3
Transporting objects in the boot
TRANSPORTING OBjECTS IN THE LuGGAGE COMPARTMENT
Always position the heavi-
est items directly on the
floor. Use the lashing points
on the luggage compart-
ment floor, if these are fitted to the
vehicle. The luggage should be
loaded in such a way that no items
will be thrown forward and strike the
occupants if the driver has to brake
suddenly.
Always place objects being transported
so that their longest side rests against
the back of the rear bench seatbacks,
as with normal loads (example
A )
or
against the back of the front seats when
the rear bench seatbacks are folded
down. Refer to the information on the
“Rear bench seat” in this section.
A
Fasten the rear seat belts,
even if the seats are not oc-
cupied.
Ensure that the load is evenly distrib-
uted over the largest loading surface to
prevent damage to the vehicle.

Use a soft or cotton cloth. If this does
not clean them properly, use a soft cloth
(or cotton wool) slightly moistened with
soapy water and then wipe clean with
another damp soft or cotton cloth.
Finally, dry off carefully with a soft dry
cloth.

or warm, soapy water and a sponge
and wipe with a dry cloth.
Detergents or dyes must not be used
under any circumstances.
Interior trim maintenance
INTERIOR TRIM MAINTENANCE (1/2)
A well-maintained vehicle will have a
longer service life. It is therefore ad-
visable to maintain the vehicle interior
regularly.
Stains should always be dealt with
quickly. Whatever type of stain is on
the trim, use soapy water (if possible,
warm water) containing:
Do not use detergents (washing up
liquid, powdered products, alcohol-
based products, etc.).
Use a soft cloth.
Rinse and soak up the excess.Fabrics (seats, door trim,
etc.)
Dust fabrics regularly.
Liquid stains
Use soapy water.
Dab lightly (never rub) with a soft cloth,
rinse and remove the excess.
Solid or thick stains
Remove any excess solid or thick ma-
terial immediately and carefully using
a spatula (from the edge inwards to
avoid spreading the stain).
Clean using the procedure for a liquid
stain.
Special instructions for sweets or
chewing gum
Put an ice cube on the stain to solidify
it, then proceed as for a solid stain.
For advice on interior maintenance
and/or on unsatisfactory results,
contact an approved dealer.

TOWING: breakdown (2/3)
4-wheel drive vehicles (4WD)
Whichever type of gearbox is fitted, a
4WD vehicle must never be towed if
any of its 4 wheels are touching the
ground.
Off-road recovery
If your vehicle is stuck in sand, snow
or mud, attach a flexible towing device
(towing belt or other device specially
designed for this purpose) to the front
or rear towing point (refer to the in-
formation on “Front and rear towing
points” on the previous page).
For off-road recovery, it
is forbidden to use a rigid
bar to tow a vehicle that is
stuck. Risk of mechanical
damage.You must never tow a 4-wheel drive
vehicle, irrespective of the mode se-
lected, if one of the 4 wheels is in
contact with the ground (except for
off-road recovery). Risk of mechani-
cal damage.
Refer to the manufacturer’s instruc-
tions for information on how to fit
and operate the equipment.
If a 4x4 (4WD ) vehicle becomes
stuck, it should only be towed for a
short distance. Risk of mechanical
damage.

On the road POSSIBLE CAUSESWHAT TO DO
The power-assisted steering be-
comes heavy. Belt broken.
Lack of power-assisted steer-
ing oil in the pump.Have the belt replaced.
For maintenance operations on the power-assisted
steering, contact an approved dealer.
The engine overheats. The coolant
temperature indicator light comes
on. Engine cooling fan not work-
ing.
Stop the vehicle, switch off the engine and contact
an approved dealer.
Coolant leaks. Stop the vehicle, switch off the engine and check
the coolant reservoir: it should contain fluid. If there
is no coolant, consult an approved dealer as soon
as possible.
Radiator blocked or clogged. Stop the vehicle, switch off the engine and clean the radiator (refer to the information on “Bodywork
maintenance/engine compartment” in Section 2). If
it is clean, consult an approved dealer as soon as
possible.
OPERATING FAULTS (4/5)
Radiator: If there is a significant lack of coolant, remember that it must never be topped up using cold coolant while
the engine is very warm. After any procedure on the vehicle which has involved even partial draining of the cooling
system, it must be refilled with a new mixture prepared in the correct proportions. Reminder: only products approved
by the Technical Department may be used for this purpose.
