On versions with an automatic gear-
box, it is preferable to keep the gear
lever in position D.

o 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.

P
oor weather conditions, flooded
roads. Do not drive through water if it
is higher than the lower edge of the
wheel rim.Exhaust gas monitoring
system
The exhaust gas monitoring system de-
tects operating faults in the vehicle’s
antipollution system. These faults may
cause mechanical damage or the re-
lease of harmful substances.
ÄThis warning light on the in-
strument panel will indicate if
there are any faults in the system:
This comes on when the ignition is
switched on and goes out after three
seconds.
–

f it comes on continuously, consult
an approved dealer as soon as pos-
sible.
–
If
it flashes, reduce the engine speed
until the light stops flashing. Contact
an approved dealer as soon as pos-
sible.
Driving– 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.
ADVICE: antipollution, fuel economy and driving (2/3)
Driving problems
On the driver ’s side, only
use mats specially adapted
for the vehicle and attached
to prefitted devices. Check regularly
to make sure they are secure. Do
not overlay several mats.
Risk of pedals jamming .
– Speed is expensive.
–
Sporty
driving uses a lot of fuel: drive
with a light right foot.
–
Study
the road ahead so that you are
able to brake as little as possible, it
can be sufficient just to lift off the ac-
celerator.

Do
not overrev the engine in the in-
termediate gears. Always use the
highest gear possible without labour-
ing the engine.

ADVICE: antipollution, fuel economy and driving (3/3)
– 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.
–
N
ever fill the fuel tank right to the
brim to avoid overflow.
–
D
o not leave an empty roof rack
fitted to the vehicle.
–
It
is better to fit a trailer for bulky ob-
jects.
–
W
hen towing a caravan, fit a wind
deflector and adjust it carefully.
Advice on use
– 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”).
–
U
se the air vents. Driving with the
windows open at 60 mph (100 km/h)
will increase fuel consumption by
4%. –
A
void using the vehicle for door-to-
door journeys (short journeys, with
long stops in-between) because in
these conditions, the engine never
reaches its ideal temperature.
Tyres
Increased fuel consumption could be
the result of:
–
insuf
ficient pressure,
–
using non-recommended tyres.

ENG_NU_817-10_B90_Dacia_2
Parking the vehicleWhen the vehicle is stopped, move the
lever to position P while keeping your
foot on the brake pedal: the gearbox is
in neutral and the drive wheels are me-
chanically locked by the driveshaft.
Apply the handbrake.
AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (3/3)
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.

Operating faults
If a vehicle with an automatic gear-
box breaks down, please refer to the
information on “Towing” in Section 5.
When setting off, if the lever is locked
in position P even though you are
pressing the brake pedal, the lever can
be released manually. To do this, unclip
the base of the lever, press recess
6 ,
visible
on the gear lever gaiter, and the
unlocking button

.
–
I
f the road contour and bends in
the road do not allow you to stay in
automatic mode (e.g.: in mountain-
ous areas), it is recommended that
you switch to manual mode.
This will prevent the automatic gear-
box from changing gears repeatedly
when climbing, and permit engine
braking on long descents.
–
I
n cold weather
, start the engine
and wait a few seconds before
moving the selector lever from posi-
tion P or N and engaging it in D or R
to prevent the engine stalling.
–
V
ehicles not fitted with traction
control: on a slippery surface or
surface with a low level of adhesion,
change to manual mode and select
second gear (or even third) before
starting the engine to avoid wheel-
spin when accelerating.
In very cold weather , the system
may prevent the gears from being
shifted in manual mode until the
gearbox reaches the right tempera-
ture.
For safety reasons, do not
switch off the ignition before
the vehicle has come to a
complete standstill.

HEATING, VENTILATION, AIR CONDITIONING (2/2)
In very hot weather or when the vehicle
has been parked in the sun, open the
doors for a few moments to let the hot
air escape before starting the engine.
Use the passenger compartment isola-
tion function to lower the temperature
as quickly as possible to the required
comfort level. Switch off the air recircu-
lation function once a comfortable level
has been reached. When the air conditioning system is op-
erating, all windows must be closed for
maximum efficiency.
If there is an operating fault, contact an
approved dealer.
If no cold air is produced
Check that the controls are set correctly
and that the fuses are sound. If they are
not, switch off the heating and air condi-
tioning system (warning light integrated
into button
B
)
and contact an author-
ised dealer.
Adjusting the air temperature.
Move control F to obtain the desired
temperature. The further the control is
in the red, the more the temperature will
be increased.
Do not open the refrigerant
fluid circuit. The fluid may
damage eyes or skin.

Bodywork maintenance
BOdyWORk MAINTENANCE (1/2)
you should
Wash your car frequently, with the
engine off, with cleaning products rec-
ommended by the manufacturer (never
use abrasive products). Rinse thor-
oughly beforehand with a jet:
–
s
pots of tree resin and industrial
grime;
–
mud
in the wheel arches and under-
neath the body which forms damp
patches;
–
b
ird droppings , which cause a
chemical reaction with the paint that
rapidly discolours paintwork and
may even cause the paint to peel
off;
w
ash the vehicle immediately to
remove these marks since it is im-
possible to remove them by polish-
ing;
–
salt,
particularly in the wheel arches
and underneath the body after driv-
ing in areas where the roads have
been gritted.
Remove any plant matter (resin, leaves,
etc.) from the vehicle regularly.
What you should not doDo not degrease or clean mechani-
cal components (e.g. the engine com-
partment), underneath the body, parts
with hinges (e.g. inside the doors) and
painted plastic external fittings (e.g.
bumpers) using high-pressure clean-
ing equipment or by spraying on prod-
ucts not approved by our Technical
Department. Doing this could give rise
to corrosion or operational faults.
Wash the vehicle in bright sunlight or
freezing temperatures.
Do not scrape off mud or dirt without
pre-wetting.
Allow dirt to accumulate on the exterior.
Allow rust to form following minor im-
pacts.
Do not use solvents not approved by
our Technical Department to remove
stains as this could damage the paint-
work.
Do not drive in snow or muddy condi-
tions without washing the vehicle, par-
ticularly under the wheel arches and
body.
A well-maintained vehicle will last
longer. It is therefore recommended to
maintain the exterior of the vehicle reg-
ularly.
Your vehicle has been treated with very
effective anti-corrosion products. It is
nevertheless subject to various outside
influences.
Corrosive agents in the atmosphere
–
a
tmospheric pollution (built-up and
industrial areas),
–
s
aline atmospheres (near the sea,
particularly in hot weather),
–
s
easonal and damp weather condi-
tions (e.g. road salt in winter, water
from road cleaners, etc.).
Minor impacts
Abrasive action
Dust and sand in the air, mud, road grit
thrown up by other vehicles, etc.
You should take a number of minor pre-
cautions in order to safeguard your ve-
hicle against such risks.

OPERATING FAULTS (4/5)
On the road POSSIBLE CAUSES WHAT TO DO
Whistling Roof aerial poorly positioned. Position the aerial.
The engine overheats. The coolant
temperature indicator light comes
on. Engine cooling fan not working. Stop the vehicle, switch off the engine and
contact an approved dealer.
Coolant leaks. Stop the vehicle, switch off the engine and
check the coolant reservoir: it should con-
tain fluid. If there is no coolant, consult an
approved dealer as soon as possible.
The oil change warning light remains
lit after an oil change. Warning not reset after oil change. Reset the warning after changing the oil;
refer to the information on “Resetting the
