At temperatures close to 0°C or less, it
is recommended to use ECO mode to
maximise the use of LPG. Please refer
to the information on “Driving advice,
Eco-driving” in Section 2.
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. LPG versions
The 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.
Under certain winter conditions, the
system may delay or prevent the oper-
ation of LPG, without any warning light
coming on or any beep.
After stopping the engine (not putting it
on standby), if the environmental con-
ditions are once again suitable, the
system may once again permit LPG
mode.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.
When starting the engine, if the outdoor
temperature is very low (below -10°C):
hold down the clutch pedal until the
engine starts.
Petrol injection
– 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” position 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.

STARTING, STOPPING THE ENGINE (2/2)
Stopping the engine
With 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
doors are locked, or when the driver’s
door is opened.
Never leave your vehi-
cle with the key or remote
control inside and never
leave a child (or a pet) un-
supervised, 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.

STOP AND START function (1/3)
For manual gearboxes:
– the gearbox is in neutral;
and
– the clutch pedal is released.
If warning light
flashes, this
means that the clutch pedal is not
sufficiently released.
and
– the vehicle speed is less than ap-
proximately 7 mph (3 km/h).
In all vehicles, the warning light
on the instrument panel is lit when the
engine is on standby.
The vehicle equipment remain opera-
tional while the engine is stopped.
This system enables a reduced fuel
consumption and lower greenhouse
gas emissions.
The system is activated automatically
when the vehicle is started.
While driving, the system stops the
engine (standby) when the vehicle is
at a standstill (traffic jam, traffic lights,
etc).
Conditions for engine
standby

was parked;
For automatic or sequential gear-
box:
– the box is in position D or N ;
and
– the brake pedal is depressed (suffi-
ciently hard);
and
– the accelerator pedal is not de-
pressed;
and
– the speed is zero for around
1 second.
The engine remains on standby if posi-
tion P is selected, or if position N is se-
lected with the handbrake engaged and
the brake pedal released.
Do not drive off when the
engine is on standby (warn-
ing light
is displayed
on the instrument panel).
Before getting out of the
vehicle, you must switch off
the ignition (please see sec-
tion on “Starting, stopping
the engine”).
If you get out of the vehicle, a beep
notifies you that the engine is on
standby and has not been switched
off.
If the engine stalls while the system
is in operation, pressing the clutch
pedal right down will start it again.
Engine on standby - braking
assistance is no longer ope-

Particularités des versions essence (X95 - J95 - R95 - Renault) ENG_NU_975-8_X92_Dacia_2
SPECIAL FEATURES OF PETROL VERSIONS
Do not park the vehicle or
run the engine in locations
where combustible sub-
stances or materials such
as grass or leaves can come into
contact with the hot exhaust system.
The following operating conditions
should be avoided:
– driving for long periods when the low
fuel level warning light is lit;
– using leaded petrol;
– using fuel or lubrication additives
which are not approved.
Or operating faults such as:
– faulty ignition, running out of fuel or
disconnected spark plugs resulting
in the engine misfiring or cutting out
when driving;
– loss of power,
may cause the catalytic converter to
overheat, reducing its efficiency which
may irreparably damage it and cause
heat damage to the vehicle.If you notice any of the above operating
faults, have the necessary repairs car-
ried out as soon as possible by an ap-
proved dealer.
These faults may be avoided by regu-
larly taking your vehicle to an approved
Dealer at the intervals specified in the
Maintenance Document.
Starting problems
To avoid damaging the catalytic con-
verter, do not keep trying to start the
engine (using the start button, or by
pushing or towing the vehicle) without
having identified and corrected the
cause of the fault.
If the fault cannot be identified, do not
continue to try and start the engine, but
contact an approved dealer.

Particularités des versions diesel (X92 - Renault) ENG_NU_975-8_X92_Dacia_2
SPECIAL FEATURES OF DIESEL VERSIONS
Diesel engine speed
Diesel engines are fitted with an injec-
tion pump which prevents the engine
speed being exceeded irrespective of
the gear selected.
When driving, depending on the fuel
grade used, it is possible that white
smoke may be emitted.
This is due to the exhaust particle filter
being cleaned automatically, and does
not affect the way the vehicle runs.
Running out of fuel
If the tank has been completely
drained, the system must be reprimed
after the tank is refilled: see information
on the “Fuel tank” in section 1 before
restarting the engine.Precautions to be taken in winter
To avoid any faults in icy weather:
– ensure that the battery is always fully
charged,
– always keep the diesel tank rela-
tively full to avoid water vapour con-
densing in it and accumulating at the
bottom of the tank.
Do not park the vehicle or
run the engine in locations
where combustible sub-
stances or materials such
as grass or leaves can come into
contact with a hot exhaust system.

LPG stands for Liquefied Petroleum
Gas.
It can be readily identified by its charac-
teristic smell.
An LPG installation on a ve-
hicle may lead to changes
to the vehicle’s features,
compared to petrol ver-
sions. This may relate to the number
of seats, mass (usable capacity)
and towing capacity.
Contact an authorised dealer.
LPG/petrol fuel mode selection
control C
This enables the driver to switch from
one fuel to another.
Green warning light D
A lit warning light indicates that LPG
mode is active.

indicates that the system is waiting for
the necessary conditions to switch to
LPG mode.
