ENG_NU_1079-3_H79Ph2_Dacia_1
LPG versions
Useful capacity of fuel tank: approx.
32 litres.
Filling up with LPG
Engage the handbrake, stop the engine,
switch off the ignition and switch off the
lights.
Always respect the safety instructions
given at filling stations.
When filling the tank, add the desired
quantity of LPG.
When the pump stops delivering LPG,
or when the pump flow reduces signi-
ficantly, the maximum LPG level has
been reached.
At this point, do not attempt to carry on
filling.
If you exceed the LPG tank capacity when filling completely, please go
to an accredited garage or your authorised dealer to check the automatic\
filler device.
FUEL TANK (4/6)
Filling stations without self-service
If service station staff fill your vehicle
with LPG, give them a filling adapter 4,
as supplied in a pouch in the glovebox.
IMPORTANT:
The adapter 4 depends on the
country in which the vehicle is sold.
Before travelling to another country,
please consult an authorised dealer.

Mise en route / Arrêt du moteur (H79 Ph2 - Dacia)
ENG_NU_1079-3_H79Ph2_Dacia_2
Stopping the engineWith the engine idling, turn the key
back to “Stop” position St.
Special note
Depending on the vehicle, accessories
(e.g. radio) stop working either when
the engine is switched off or when the
driver’s door is opened or when the
doors are locked.LPG versionsThe engine is always started using
petrol:
– activate the starter without accelerat- ing;
– release the key as soon as the engine starts.
The system will automatically deter-
mine the switchover from petrol to LPG.
When operating on LPG, the fuel gauge
may indicate a drop in the petrol level
and the on-board computer will not op-
erate.
Every 3,000 miles driven using LPG,
drivers are recommended to drive for
around 3 to 6 miles in petrol mode.
To enable the system to operate
smoothly and to prevent any wear to
the vehicle’s electric petrol pump, the
petrol tank should always be around
1/4 full.
vehicles 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.
Starting the engineIn 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.
When starting the engine, if the outdoor
temperature is very low (below -10°C):
hold down the clutch pedal until the
engine starts.
Make sure the engine immobiliser is not
activated. Refer to the information on
the “Engine immobiliser” in Section 1.
Petrol injection
– 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.
STARTING/STOPPING THE ENGINE
Never leave your vehicle
with the key or remote con-
trol inside and never leave
a child (or a pet) unsuper-
vised, even for a short while.
The reason for this is that the child
may endanger himself or others by
starting the engine, activating equip-
ment 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 as-
sisted steering and passive safety
equipment such as air bags will no
longer operate.
The steering is locked when the key
is removed.

Conseils de conduite, eco conduite (H79 Ph2 - Dacia)
ENG_NU_1079-3_H79Ph2_Dacia_2
DRIVING ADVICE, ECO-DRIVING (3/5)
– Avoid sudden acceleration.
– Brake as little as possible. If you an-
ticipate an obstacle or bend in ad-
vance, you may then simply release
the accelerator pedal.
– 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.
On versions with an automatic gear-
box, it is preferable to keep the gear
lever in position D.
Vehicles with 4x4 (4WD) trans-
mission
On flat, level ground, with the vehi-
cle unladen, you are recommended
to start in second gear.
Driving advice, Eco-driving
Behaviour
– 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.
– Do not overrev the engine in the in- termediate gears.
You should always use the highest gear possible.
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 .

Handbrake
To release
Pull lever 2 up slightly, press button 3
and then lower the lever to the floor.
The red warning light on the instrument
panel will come on if you are driving
with an incorrectly released handbrake.
To apply
Pull lever 2 upwards and make sure the
vehicle is immobilised.
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
approved dealer.
GEAR LEVER, HANDBRAKE
When stationary, and de-
pending on the slope and/or
vehicle load, it may be nec-
essary to pull up the hand-
brake at least two extra notches and
engage a gear (1
st or reverse gear)
for vehicles with a manual gearbox
or position P for vehicles with an au-
tomatic gearbox.
When driving, make sure
the handbrake is com-
pletely released.
Risk of overheating.

Transmission : 4 roues motrices (4WD) (H79 - Dacia)
ENG_NU_1079-3_H79Ph2_Dacia_2
TRANSMISSION: 4-wheel drive (4WD) (4/4)
All-wheel drive system
– Irrespective of the mode selected, do not start the engine if one or more wheels are not in contact with the ground
(eg. when the vehicle is on a jack or roller bench).
– Do not turn the mode selector when cornering, reversing or if the wheels\
are spinning excessively. Only select the
“2WD”, “AUTO” or “4WD Lock” mode when the vehicle is being driven in a str\
aight line.
– Only use tyres which meet the required specifications.
– “4WD Lock” mode is reserved solely for use off-road. The use of this mode in any other conditions may adversely affect the
vehicle’s manoeuvrability and damage its mechanical components.
– Always ensure tyres with identical specifications are fitted to all four\
wheels (brand, size, structure, wear etc.). Fitting tyres
of different sizes to the front and rear wheels and/or left and right wheels m\
ay have serious consequences for the tyres,
gearbox, transfer gearbox and the rear differential pinions.
