Démarrage, Arrêt du moteur (B90 - L90 Ph2 - F90 Ph2 - R90 Ph2 - Dacia)
ENG_NU_817-9_B90_Dacia_2
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.

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.

Handbrake
To release
Pull lever 1 up slightly, press button 2
and then lower the lever to the floor.
Handbrake/Power-assisted steering
HANDBRAKE, POWER-ASSISTED STEERING
To apply
Pull lever 1 upwards and make sure the
vehicle is immobilised.
Depending on the gradient
and/or vehicle load, it may
be necessary when station-
ary to apply the brake by
at least a further two notches and
engage a gear (1
st or reverse gear).
Never switch off the igni -
tion when travelling down -
hill, and avoid doing so in
normal driving (assistance
is not provided).
Make sure that the hand -
brake is properly released
when driving (red indicator
light off), otherwise over -
heating, or even damage, may
occur.

Power-assisted steering
With the engine running, do not leave
the steering wheel at full lock while sta-
tionary as this may damage the power -
assisted steering pump.
With the engine switched off, or if there
is a system fault, it is still possible to
turn the steering wheel. The force re -
quired will be greater.

ABS (anti-lock braking
system)
Under heavy braking, the ABS prevents
the wheels from locking, allowing the
stopping distance to be managed and
keeping control of the vehicle.
Under these circumstances, the vehi -
cle can be steered to avoid an obstacle
whilst braking. In addition, this system
can increase stopping distances, par -
ticularly on roads with low surface grip
(wet ground etc.).
You will feel a pulsation through the
brake pedal each time the system is
activated. The ABS does not in any way
improve the vehicle's physical perform-
ance relating to the road surface and
roadholding. It is still essential to follow
the rules of good driving practice (such
as driving at a safe distance from the
vehicle in front etc.).
Driver correction devices/aids
DRIVER CORRECTION DEVICES/AIDS (1/2)
Depending on the vehicle, this is com-
posed of:
– t h e A B S ( a n t i - l o c k b r a k i n g
system);
– emergency brake assist.
These functions are an ad-
ditional aid in the event of
critical driving conditions,
enabling the vehicle behav -
iour to be adapted to suit the driving
conditions.
However, the functions do not take
the place of the driver. They do
not increase the vehicle’s limits
and should not encourage you
to drive more quickly. Therefore,
they can under no circumstances
replace the vigilance or responsibil -
ity of the driver when manoeuvring
the vehicle (the driver must always
be ready for sudden incidents which
may occur when driving).
In an emergency, apply firm and
continuous pressure to the brake
pedal. There is no need to pump
it repeatedly. The ABS will modu -
late the force applied in the braking
system.
