Transmission : 4 roues motrices (4WD) (H79 Ph2 - Dacia) ENG_NU_1079-6_H79Ph2_Dacia_2
TRANSMISSION: 4-wheel drive (4WD) (3/4)
Electronic stability program and
traction control when driving off-
road
(vehicles equipped with ESC)
When driving on soft ground (sand,
mud, deep snow), we recommend that
you deactivate the ESC function by
pressing the “ ESC” switch.
In this case, only individual wheel bra-
king remains active. This function ap-
plies the brake to any wheel that is slip-
ping, allowing the engine torque to be
transferred to the wheels with the most
grip. This is particularly useful when
crossing a bridge.
All the ESC functions will be reactivated
when the vehicle speed reaches ap-
proximately 30 mph (50 km/h) (36 mph
(60 km/h) in 4WD Lock mode), when
the engine is restarted or when the
“ESC” button is pressed again.Operating faults
If the system detects an operating
fault, it automatically switches to “2WD”
mode, and the
‘ and Ò war-
ning lights come on.
Drive as soon as possible at a mode-
rate speed to an approved dealer.
For certain operating faults, the system
may not be able to switch to “2WD" or
"4WD Lock" mode. "AUTO" mode re-
mains active.
Contact an approved dealer as soon as
possible. In this case, we recommend that you
stop as soon as possible to allow the
system to cool down (until the warning
light stops flashing).
Cooling may take up to five minutes.
If the system detects excessive whee-
lspin on the front wheels, it adapts the
engine to run in a way that reduces
wheelspin.
Anti-lock braking in “LOCK” mode
(vehicles equipped with ABS)
When “4WD Lock" mode is active, the
ABS switches to off-road mode. In this
case, the wheels may lock intermit-
tently to achieve better grip, thus redu-
cing braking distances on soft ground.
When this mode is active:
– the vehicle’s manoeuvrability is limi-
ted during braking. This operating
mode is therefore not recommended
in very low-grip conditions (eg. ice).
– there may be some noise. This is
normal, and does not indicate an
operating fault.

DRIVER CORRECTION DEVICES/AIDS (2/4)
Emergency brake assist with
electronic brake distribution
(depending on the vehicle)
This system supplements the ABS
and helps reduce vehicle stopping dis-
tances.
Operating principle
The system is for detecting an emer-
gency braking situation. In this case,
the braking assistance immediately de-
velops maximum power and may trig-
ger ABS regulation.
ABS braking is maintained as long as
the brake pedal is applied. Operating faults
– If the x warning light on the ins-
trument panel comes on while you
are driving, the brakes will still
work normally without ABS;
– If the
x and D warning
lights on the instrument panel come
on while you are driving, there is a
fault in the braking system.
In both cases, consult an approved
Dealer.
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 (3/4)
Electronic stability program
ESC with understeer control
and traction control
Electronic Stability Program ESC
(depending on the vehicle)
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.).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 vehi-
cle when pulling away accelerating or
decelerating.
Deactivating the ESC
function
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 whee-
lspin. If this is not required, it is possible
to deactivate the function by pressing
switch 1.
The warning light
on the instru-
ment panel comes on to warn you of
this.
If you deactivate this function, the
traction control system will also be
deactivated.
With the Electronic Stability Program
ESC with understeer control and trac-
tion control providing additional safety,
you are advised not to drive with the
function disabled. Correct this as soon
as possible by pressing the switch 1
again.
Note: The function is automatically
reactivated when the ignition is switched
on, or when the speed exceeds 30 mph
(50 km/h) in “AUTO” and “2WD” modes,
and approximately 36 mph (60 km/h) in
“4WD Lock” mode.

DRIVER CORRECTION DEVICES/AIDS (4/4)
Hill start assistance
This function assists the driver when
starting on hills. It prevents the vehicle
from rolling forwards or backwards by
automatically applying the brakes when
the driver lifts their foot off the brake
pedal to depress the accelerator pedal.
It only operates when the gear lever is
in a position other than neutral (other
than N or P for automatic transmis-
sions) and the vehicle is completely
stationary (brake pedal depressed).
The system holds the vehicle for ap-
proximately 2 seconds. The brakes are
then gradually released (the vehicle will
move according to the slope). 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, the indicator
light
flashes on the instrument
panel.
Operating faults
When the system detects an opera-
ting fault the warning lights
Ò and
appear on the instrument panel.
In this case, the Electronic Stability
Program ESC with understeer control
and traction control are deactivated.
Please consult an authorised dealer if
these warning lights remain displayed
on the instrument panel after the igni-
tion is switched off and on again.
The hill start assistance
system cannot completely
prevent the vehicle from
rolling backwards in all sit-
uations (extremely steep gradients,
etc.).
In all cases, the driver may depress
the brake pedal to prevent the
vehicle from rolling forwards or
backwards.
The hill start assistance function
should not be used for prolonged
stops: use the brake pedal.
This function is not designed to im-
mobilise the vehicle permanently.
If necessary, use the brake pedal to
stop the vehicle.
The driver must remain particularly
vigilant when driving on slippery or
low-grip surfaces and/or on hills.
Risk of serious injury.

CRUISE CONTROL/SPEED LIMITER: speed limiter function (3/3)
Recalling the limit speed
If a speed has been saved, it can be re-
called by pressing switch 4 ((R)).
Putting the function on
standby
The speed limiter function is suspended
when you press the switch 5 (O). In this
case, the speed limit remains stored
and, depending on the vehicle, the
message "MEM” or the warning light
appears on the instrument panel,
accompanied by the stored speed.
Switching off the function
The speed limiter function is deac-
tivated if you press switch 1: in this
case a speed is no longer stored. The
orange instrument panel warning light
goes out, confirming that the func-
tion is stopped.
When the speed limiter is put on
standby, pressing switch 2 (+) re-
activates the function without taking
into account the stored speed: it is
the speed at which the vehicle is
moving that is taken into account.

Régulateur-limiteur de vitesse : fonction régulateur (H79 Ph2 - Dacia) ENG_NU_1079-6_H79Ph2_Dacia_2
Switching off the function
The cruise control function is deacti-
vated if you press switch 1: in this case
a speed is no longer stored. The two in-
strument panel warning lights
and
go out to confirm that the function is
deactivated. Returning to the cruising speed
If a speed is stored, it can be recalled,
once you are sure that the road con-
ditions are suitable (traffic, road sur-
face, weather conditions, etc.). Press
switch 4 (R) if the vehicle speed is
above 20 mph (30 km/h).
When the stored speed is recalled, acti-
vation of the cruise control is confirmed
by the illumination of the
warning
light.
NB: if the speed previously stored is
much higher than the current speed,
the vehicle will accelerate more rapidly
to reach this threshold.
When the cruise control function is
put on standby, pressing switch 2
(+) reactivates the cruise control
function without taking into account
the stored speed: it is the speed at
which the vehicle is moving that is
taken into account.
Putting the function on
standby
The function is set to standby if you:
– use the switch 5 (O);
– the brake pedal;
– depress the clutch pedal or shift into
neutral if the vehicle has an auto-
matic gearbox.
In all three cases and depending on
the vehicle, the cruising speed remains
stored and, depending on the vehicle,
the message “MEM”or the
warn-
ing light appears on the instrument
panel.
Standby is confirmed when indicator
light
goes out.
CRUISE CONTROL/SPEED LIMITER: cruise control function (4/4)
Putting the cruise control
on standby or switching it
off does not cause a rapid
reduction in speed: you
must brake by depressing the brake
pedal.

AUTOMATIC GEARBOX (2/4)
Driving in manual modeWhen the selector lever is in position D,
move the lever to the left.
Shifting the lever repeatedly allows you
to change gears manually:
– To move down through the gears,
push the lever backwards;
– to move up through the gears, push
the lever forwards.
Depending on the vehicle:
– to move down through the gears,
push the lever forwards;– to move up through the gears, push
the lever backwards.
The gear selected is displayed on the
instrument panel.
Special cases
In certain driving conditions (e.g.: to
protect the engine) the “automated
system” may change the gear automa-
tically.
Likewise, to prevent incorrect ma-
noeuvres, a gear change may be re-
fused by the automatic system: in this
case the gear display flashes for a few
seconds as a warning.
Economical driving
When driving, always leave the lever
in position D, keeping the accelerator
pedal lightly depressed to ensure auto-
matic gear changes at a lower engine
speed.
Accelerating and overtaking
Depress the accelerator pedal firmly
and fully (so that it goes beyond the
kickdown point).
This will enable you to change down
to the optimum gear within the
engine range.

ELECTRIC WINDOWS (3/3)
One-touch windows
When the vehicle is equipped with this
function, the one-touch mode works in
addition to the operation of the electric
windows described previously.
It is only fitted to the driver’s window.
– Fully and briefly press down on the
relevant switch down: the window
will open completely.
– Fully and briefly lift the relevant
switch: the window will close com-
pletely.
Pressing the switch again while the
window is moving will stop its move-
ment.
Special features
If the window detects resistance when
closing (e.g.: fingers, branch of a tree,
etc.) it stops and then lowers again by a
few centimetres.
If you use the switch while the window
is moving, it stops working.
Operating faults
In case of a fault when closing a window,
the system reverts to normal mode: pull
the switch concerned up to fully close
the window, then hold the switch (still
on the closure side) for three seconds
then lower and raise the window fully to
reinitialise the system.
If necessary, contact an approved
Dealer.
Closing windows can cause
serious injury.
Avoid resting any objects against
a half-open window: there is a risk
that the electric window could be
damaged.
