LPG versions
The engine is always started using
petrol:
– activate the starter without accelera-
ting;
– 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 disable operation
with LPG.
After stopping the engine, if the envi-
ronmental conditions are once again
suitable, the system may once again
permit LPG mode.
Starting the engineIn 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.
Make sure the engine immobiliser is not
activated. Refer to the information on
the “Engine immobiliser” in Section 1.
Petrol injection
– Turn the key to the start position
without depressing the accelera-
tor.
– Release the key as soon as the
engine starts.
ÉDiesel injection
Turn the ignition key to ignition “On” po-
sition M, and hold this position until the
preheating warning light goes out.
Turn the key to starter position D with-
out depressing the accelerator
pedal.
Release the key as soon as the engine
starts.
STARTING, STOPPING THE ENGINE (1/4)
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.

vehicles with an automatic
gearbox
Before starting, move the lever to posi-
tion P.
Refer to the information on the
“Automatic gearbox” in Section 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
driver’s door is opened or when the
doors are locked.Driver’s responsibility
Never leave an animal,
child or adult who is not
self-sufficient alone on your
vehicle, even for a short time.
They may pose a risk to themselves
or to others by starting the engine,
activating equipment such as the
electric windows or locking the
doors, for example.
Also, in hot and/or sunny weather,
please remember that the tempera-
ture inside the passenger compart-
ment increases very quickly.
Never switch off the ignition
before the vehicle has stopped
completely. Switching off the
engine disables the assistance
equipment: brakes, steering, etc.,
and additional seatbelt devices.
The steering is locked when the key
is removed.
RISK OF DEATH OR SERIOUS
INJURY.
STARTING, STOPPING THE ENGINE (2/4)
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.

Fonction Stop and Start (H79 Ph2 - Dacia) ENG_NU_1079-6_H79Ph2_Dacia_2
For manual gearboxes:
– the gearbox is in neutral;
and
– the clutch pedal is released.
If the
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
appears on the instrument panel to warn
you when the engine is on standby.
The vehicle equipment remain opera-
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
standby
The vehicle has set off from where it
was parked;
For automatic or sequential gear-
box:
– The gearbox 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 vehicle’s speed is zero for around
one 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.
Engine on standby - braking
assistance is no longer op-
erational.
The ignition must be
switched off before leaving
the vehicle (please see sec-
tion on “Starting, stopping
the engine”).
Keep your vehicle station-
ary when the engine is
on standby (shown by the
warning light
on the
instrument panel).
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.
