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

DRIVING ADVICE, ECO-DRIVING (4/4)
Tyres
– An underinflated tyre increases fuel
consumption.
– The use of non-recommended tyres
can increase fuel consumption.Advice on use
– Favour ECO mode.
– Electricity is fuel; switch off all the
electrical components which are
not really needed. However (safety
first), keep your lights on when the
visibility is bad (“see and be seen”).
– Use the air vents. Driving with the
windows open at 60 mph (100 km/h)
will increase fuel consumption by
4%.
– Never fill the fuel tank right to the
brim to avoid overflow.– In vehicles fitted with air condi-
tioning, it is normal to observe an
increase in fuel consumption (es-
pecially in urban conditions) when
it is used. For vehicles fitted with
manual air conditioning, switch off
the system when it is not required.
Advice for reducing consumption
and therefore helping to preserve
the environment:
If the vehicle has been parked in the
sun, open the doors for a few mo-
ments to let the hot air escape before
starting the engine.
– Do not leave an empty roof rack
fitted to the vehicle.
– It is better to fit a trailer for bulky ob-
jects.
– When towing a caravan, fit a wind
deflector and adjust it carefully.
– Avoid using the car for door-to-door
calls (short journeys with long waits
in between) because the engine
never reaches its normal operating
temperature.

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.

The red warning light Ò
requires you to stop imme-
diately, for your own safety,
as soon as traffic conditions allow.

Dispositifs de correction et d’assistance à la conduite (X92 - Renault) ENG_NU_975-8_X92_Dacia_2
DRIVER CORRECTION DEVICES/AIDS (3/3)
The traction control system offers ad-
ditional safety. It is recommended that
you do not drive with the function disa-
bled. Correct this as soon as possible
by pressing the switch 1 again.
Note: The function is reactivated auto-
matically when the ignition is switched
on or when a speed of approximately
30 mph (50 km/h) is exceeded.
Emergency brake assist
This is an additional system to ABS
which helps reduce vehicle stopping
distances.
Operating principle
The system detects an emergency
braking situation. In this case, the brak-
ing assistance immediately develops
maximum power and may trigger ABS
regulation.
ABS braking is maintained as long as
the brake pedal is not released.
Hazard warning lights switching on
Depending on the vehicle, these may
light up in the event of sudden decel-
eration.
Operating faults
When the system detects an operating
fault, the warning light
x is dis-
played on the instrument panel.
Consult an approved dealer.
Braking anticipation
Depending on the vehicle, when you
rapidly release the accelerator, the
system anticipates the braking ma-
noeuvre in order to reduce stopping
distances. Disabling the traction control
system
In some situations (driving on very wet
ground: snow, mud, etc. or driving with
snow chains fitted), the system may
reduce the engine output to limit wheel-
spin. If this is not required, it is possible
to deactivate the function by pressing
switch 1. In this case, the warning light
 comes on, on the instrument
panel. This action does not deactivate
the ESC.

Régulateur-limiteur de vitesse : fonction régulateur (X92 - Dacia) ENG_NU_975-8_X92_Dacia_2
CRUISE CONTROL/SPEED LIMITER: cruise control function (3/4)
Exceeding the cruising speed
The cruising speed may be exceeded
at any time by depressing the accelera-
tor pedal. While it is being exceeded,
the cruising speed flashes on the in-
strument panel.
Then, release the accelerator: after a
few seconds, the vehicle will automati-
cally return to its set cruising speed.
Cruising speed cannot be
maintained
When driving down a steep gradient,
the system is unable to maintain the
cruising speed: the stored speed will
flash on the instrument panel informa-
tion display to inform you of this situ-
ation.
Adjusting the cruising speed
The cruising speed may be changed by
pressing the following repeatedly:
– switch 2 (+) to increase the speed,
– switch 3 (-) to decrease the speed.
The cruise control function
is in no way linked to the
braking system.

Aide au parking (X92 - Renault) ENG_NU_975-8_X92_Dacia_2
This function is an addi-
tional aid that indicates the
distance between the vehi-
cle and an obstacle whilst
reversing, using sound signals.
Under no circumstances should it
replace the driver’s care or respon-
sibility whilst reversing.
The driver should always look out
for sudden hazards during driving:
always ensure that there are no
moving obstacles (such as a child,
animal, pram, bicycle, etc.) or small,
narrow objects such as stones or
posts in your path when manoeu-
vring.
Operating principle
Ultrasonic sensors, fitted in the vehi-
cle’s rear bumper, measure the dis-
tance between the vehicle and an ob-
stacle when reversing.
This measurement is indicated by
beeps which become more frequent the
closer you come to the obstacle, until
they become a continuous beep when
the vehicle is approximately 40 centi-
metres from the obstacle.
There is a beep when reverse gear is
engaged. If the beep sounds for a long
time (3 seconds), this signals an oper-
ating fault.
NB: ensure that the ultrasonic sensors
are not obscured (by dirt, mud, snow,
etc.).
PARKING DISTANCE CONTROL (1/2)
An impact to the under-
side of the vehicle while
manoeuvring (e.g.: strik-
ing a post, raised kerb or
other street furniture) may result in
damage to the vehicle (e.g.: defor-
mation of an axle).
To avoid any risk of accident, have
your vehicle checked by an ap-
proved dealer.
