Seat belts
Always wear your seat belt when trav-
elling in your vehicle. You must also
comply with the legislation of the par-
ticular country you are in.
Make sure that the rear bench seat
is locked in position correctly so that
the rear seat belts will operate effi-
ciently. Refer to the information on
the “Rear bench seat: functions” in
Section 3.
I n c o r r e c t l y a d j u s t e d o r
twisted seat belts may
cause injuries in the event
of an accident.
Use one seat belt per person,
whether child or adult.
Even pregnant women should wear
a seat belt. In this case, ensure that
the lap belt is not exerting too much
pressure on the abdomen, but do
not allow any slack.
Before starting, adjust your driving
position and then have each occu-
pant adjust their seat belt to ensure
optimum protection.
Adjusting your driving position
(depending on the vehicle)
–

S
it well back in your seat (having
removed your coat or jacket etc.).
This is essential to ensure your back
is positioned correctly;
–

a
djust the distance between the
seat and the pedals. Your seat
should be as far back as possible
while still allowing you to depress
the clutch pedal fully. The seatback
should be adjusted so that your arms
are slightly bent when you hold the
steering wheel;
–

adjust
the position of the steering
wheel.
–

a
djust the position of your head-
rest. For the maximum safety, your
head must be as close as possible to
the headrest;
–

Adjust
the height of the seat. This
adjustment allows you to select the
seat position which offers you the
best possible view. Adjusting the seat belts
Sit with your back firmly against the
seatback.

Fuel tank (filling with fuel)
FUEL TANK (1/3)
Capacity of the fuel tank: 50 litres ap-
proximately.
The cap can be unlocked with the igni-
tion key.
For details on filling the fuel tank, refer
to the information on “Filling with fuel”.
There is a cap holder
1 on the fuel filler
flap for holding the cap when the tank is
being filled.
Fuel grade
Always use a high-grade fuel that
complies with the legislation in force
in each country. It must conform to the
specifications given on label A inside
the fuel filler flap.
Refer to the “Engine specifications”
table in Section 6.
Vehicles running on ethanol-based
fuel
Always use unleaded petrol or fuel
containing a maximum of 85 percent
ethanol (E85).
In very cold conditions, it may be very
difficult or even impossible to start the
engine.
Note: you may notice an increase in
fuel consumption with this type of fuel.
When the fuel is changed the engine
must adjust, which may cause minor in-
conveniences for a few minutes (longer
starting times, cutting out, etc.).
Fuel filler cap: this is spe-
cific to the vehicle type. If
you have to replace it, make
sure the new cap is of the
same type. Contact an approved
dealer.
Never place the cap near a source
of heat or flame.
Do not wash the filler area with a
high-pressure washer.

Do not mix even small
amounts of petrol (un-
leaded or E85) with diesel.
Do not use ethanol-based
fuel if your vehicle is not compatible
with this fuel.
Do not add any additives to the fuel,
you risk damaging the engine.

ENG_NU_817-10_B90_Dacia_2
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.

ABS (anti-lock braking
system)
Under heavy braking, the ABS prevents
the wheels from locking, allowing the
stopping distance to be managed and
keeping control of the vehicle.
Under these circumstances, the vehi-
cle can be steered to avoid an obstacle
whilst braking. In addition, this system
can increase stopping distances, par-
ticularly on roads with low surface grip
(wet ground etc.).
You will feel a pulsation through the
brake pedal each time the system is
activated. The ABS does not in any way
improve the vehicle's physical perform-
ance relating to the road surface and
roadholding. It is still essential to follow
the rules of good driving practice (such
as driving at a safe distance from the
vehicle in front etc.).
Driver correction devices/aids
DRIVER CORRECTION DEVICES/AIDS (1/2)
Depending on the vehicle, this is com-
posed of:
–

t
h e A B S ( a n t i - l o c k b r a k i n g
system);
–

emergency brake assist.
These functions are an ad-
ditional aid in the event of
critical driving conditions,
enabling the vehicle behav-
iour to be adapted to suit the driving
conditions.
However, the functions do not take
the place of the driver. They do
not increase the vehicle’s limits
and should not encourage you
to drive more quickly. Therefore,
they can under no circumstances
replace the vigilance or responsibil-
ity of the driver when manoeuvring
the vehicle (the driver must always
be ready for sudden incidents which
may occur when driving).
In an emergency, apply firm and
continuous pressure to the brake
pedal. There is no need to pump
it repeatedly. The ABS will modu-
late the force applied in the braking
system.

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.
