DRIVING ADVICE, ECO-DRIVING (3/4)
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.
– 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.
– Bad weather, flooded roads:
Do not drive through
floods if the water is
above the lower edge of
the wheel rims.
Obstructions to the driver
On the driver’s side, only
use mats suitable for the
vehicle, attached with the
pre-fitted components, and check
the fitting regularly. Do not lay one
mat on top of another.
There is a risk of wedging the
pedals

Avertisseur de perte de pression des pneumatique (X92 - Dacia) ENG_NU_975-8_X92_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
alert the driver in the event of insuffi-
cient pressure (deflated wheel, punctu-
red tyre, etc.).
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 swapping a wheel (however this
practice is not recommended);
– 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.

Note:
The standard tyre pressure cannot be
less than that recommended and indi-
cated on the door frame.
Display
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 come on steady to-
gether with a beep.
They indicate 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.
TYRE PRESSURE LOSS WARNING (2/3)
Resetting procedure
With the ignition on:
– repeatedly press the button 3 to
select the “SEt tP” function on the
display 2;
– press and hold (around 3 seconds)
the button 3 to start initialisation. The
flashing, lasting around five seconds,
followed by a constant display of the
message “SEt tP” indicates that the
reset request for the tyre pressure
reference value has been taken into
account.
Reinitialisation is carried out after a few
minutes’ driving.
The sudden loss of pressure in a
tyre (burst tyre, etc.) cannot be de-
tected by the system.

Check tyre sensors
The warning light
flashes for
several seconds, then stays on, along
with the orange warning light
Ò.
They indicate that at least one tyre is
not fitted with sensors (e.g. emergency
spare wheel). In other cases, contact
an authorised dealer.
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.
TYRE PRESSURE LOSS WARNING (3/3)
Replacing wheels/tyres
This system requires specific equip-
ment (wheels, tyres, hubcaps, etc.).
Please see the information on “Tyres”
in Section 5.
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.
Please refer to “Tyre inflation kit” in
Section 5.

To release
Pull lever 1 up slightly, press button 2
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.
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.

DRIVER CORRECTION DEVICES/AIDS (1/3)
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 per-
formance relating to the road surface
and road-holding. 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.).Operating faults:
– If the
x warning light on the in-
strument panel comes on while driv-
ing, braking is still operational;
– If the
x and D warning
lights on the instrument panel come
on when driving, this indicates a
fault with the braking system.
In this case, ABS, ESC and emergency
braking assist are also deactivated.
Consult an approved dealer.
Depending on the vehicle, this is com-
posed of:
– of the ABS (anti-lock braking
system);
– electronic stability program ESC
with understeer control and trac-
tion control;
– emergency brake assist with, de-
pending on the vehicle, braking
anticipation;
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.
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).
Your braking systems
are partially operational.
However, it is dangerous
to brake suddenly and
it is essential to stop immediately,
as soon as traffic conditions allow.
Contact an approved dealer.

DRIVER CORRECTION DEVICES/AIDS (2/3)
Electronic stability program
ESC with understeer control
and traction control
Electronic stability control ESC
This system helps you to keep control
of the vehicle in critical driving condi-
tions (avoiding an obstacle, loss of grip
on a bend, etc.).
Operating principle
A sensor in the steering wheel detects
the direction selected by the driver.
Other sensors throughout the vehicle
measure the actual direction.
The system compares driver input to
the actual trajectory of the vehicle and
corrects the trajectory if necessary by
controlling the braking of certain wheels
and/or engine power. In the event that
the system is engaged, indicator light
flashes on the instrument panel.Operating faults
When the system detects an operating
fault, the
and/or warning
lights on the instrument panel come on.
In this case, the electronic stability pro-
gram ESC with understeer control and
traction control are deactivated.
Consult an approved dealer. Understeer control
This system optimises the action of the
ESC in the case of pronounced under-
steering (loss of front axle road hold-
ing).
Traction control
This system helps to limit wheelspin of
the drive wheels and to control the ve-
hicle when pulling away accelerating or
decelerating.
Operating principle
Using the wheel sensors, the system
measures and compares the speed of
the drive wheels at all times and slows
down their over-rotation. If a wheel is
starting to slip, the system brakes au-
tomatically until the drive supplied be-
comes compatible with the level of grip
under the wheel again.
The system also adjusts the engine
speed to the grip available under the
wheels, independently of the pressure
exerted on the accelerator pedal.
