For manual gearboxes:
– the gearbox is in neutral;
and
– the clutch pedal is released.
If the

tional while the engine is stopped.
STOP AND START function (1/3)
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

Particularités des versions diesel (H79 - Dacia) ENG_NU_1079-6_H79Ph2_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.
If the
Ä and Ò warning lights
come on, consult an approved dealer
as soon as possible.
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.

Fuel gauge warning light A
The warning lights A (4 green lights and
1 red light) indicate the level in the LPG
tank.
The red warning light indicates the fuel
tank.
The amount of LPG indicated is an in-
dicative value.
The red warning light indicates that
the tank is almost empty and that the
engine is operating using the fuel tank
(approximately 11 to 13 litres).
SPECIAL FEATURES OF LPG VERSIONS (1/3)
LPG vehicles
These vehicles operate using petrol or
LPG.
They have two separate tanks.
What is LPG?
LPG stands for Liquefied Petroleum
Gas.
It can be readily identified by its charac-
teristic smell.
An LPG installation on
a vehicle may lead to
changes to the vehicle’s
features, compared to
petrol versions. 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.
Rapid flashing of the warning light D
indicates that the system is waiting for
the necessary conditions to switch to
LPG mode.
Yellow warning light B
A lit warning light indicates that petrol
mode is active.
If the yellow warning light is
on while the green warning
light flashes slowly and a
beep is heard, please take

Changing fuel while driving
To switch from petrol to LPG
Press control C. The vehicle will switch
to LPG the next time the accelerator
pedal is pressed.
The LPG fuel level A is activated. The
yellow warning light B goes out and the
green warning light D flashes quickly to
confirm that LPG has been selected,

active.
Pressing control C stops the beep from
sounding and only the yellow warning
light B stays on.
To switch from LPG to petrol.
Release the accelerator pedal and
press the control C.
Petrol mode is indicated by the yellow
warning light B.Automatic switch to petrol
The system automatically switches to
petrol mode if there is no more LPG
remaining in the tank. You will be in-
formed by:
– the green D and yellow B warning
lights coming on;
– a beep sounds.
Pressing control C stops the beep from
sounding and only the yellow warning
light B stays on.
Depending on the vehicle, under certain
conditions of use, the system may opt to
temporarily switch back to petrol mode
(the green warning light D flashes wi-
thout any beep sounding, for example,
during strong acceleration). Once the
suitable conditions are present once
again, it will automatically switch back
to LPG mode. After several unsuccess-
ful attempts, the system may decide to
remain in petrol mode for the current
driving session. A further attempt may
be made after the engine has been at a
complete stop for 1 minute.

MAINTENANCE AND ANTIPOLLUTION ADVICE
Your vehicle complies with criteria for
recycling and recovering vehicles at the
end of their service life, which will come
into force in 2015.
Some of the parts on your vehicle have
been designed to be recycled later.
These parts are easily removable in
order to be collected and reprocessed
in recycling networks.
Furthermore, by virtue of its design,
moderate fuel consumption and initial
settings, your vehicle also conforms
to current anti-pollution regulations.
The manufacturer is actively striving
to reduce pollutant exhaust gas emis-
sions and to save energy. However,
the fuel consumption of your vehicle
and the level of pollutant exhaust gas
emissions are also your responsibility.
Ensure that it is maintained and used
correctly.Maintenance
It is important to remember that fail-
ure to respect anti-pollution regulations
could lead to legal action being taken
against the vehicle owner.
In addition, replacing engine, fuel
supply system and exhaust compo-
nents with parts other than those origi-
nally recommended by the manufac-
turer may alter your vehicle so that it
no longer complies with anti-pollution
regulations.
Have your vehicle adjusted and
checked by an authorised dealer, in ac-
cordance with the instructions given in
your maintenance schedule: they will
have all the equipment necessary for
ensuring that your vehicle is maintained
to its original standard.
Engine adjustments
– Air filter, fuel filter: a choked ele-
ment will reduce efficiency. It must
be replaced.
– Idle speed: no adjustment is needed.
Exhaust gas monitoring
system
The exhaust gas monitoring system will
detect any operating faults in the vehi-
cle’s antipollution system.
If this system malfunctions, toxic sub-
stances may be released into the at-
mosphere or damage may occur.
ÄThis warning light on the in-
strument panel will indicate if
there are any faults in the system:
This lights up when the ignition is
switched on and goes out when the
engine is started.
– If it lights up continuously, consult an
approved Dealer as soon as possi-
ble;
– if it flashes, reduce the engine speed
until the light stops flashing. Contact
an authorised dealer as soon as pos-
sible.
