Conseils entretien et antipollution (X98 - X87 - X07 - Renault)
ENG_NU_975-6_X92_Dacia_2
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 parts of your vehicle have there-
fore been designed to facilitate future
recycling.
These parts are easy to remove so
that they can be recovered and reproc-
essed by recycling companies.
By virtue of its design, moderate fuel
consumption and initial settings, your
vehicle also conforms to current anti-
pollution regulations. The manufac-
turer is actively striving to reduce pol-
lutant exhaust gas emissions and to
save energy. But the fuel consumption
of your vehicle and the level of pollutant
exhaust gas emissions are also your
responsibility. Ensure that it is main-
tained and used correctly.
Maintenance
It is important to remember that fai-
lure to respect antipollution 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 manufactu-
rer may alter your vehicle so that it no
longer complies with antipollution regu-
lations.
Have your vehicle adjusted and
checked by an approved 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
– Spark plugs:
for optimum condi-
tions of use, output and performance
the specifications laid down by our
Design Department must be strictly
applied.
If the spark plugs have to be changed, use the make, type and gap specified
for your vehicle’s engine. Contact an
authorised dealer for this.
– Air filter: a choked element will reduce efficiency. It must be re-
placed.
– Ignition and idle speed: no adjust-
ment 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 pos-
sible;
– if it flashes, reduce the engine speed until the light stops flashing. Contact
your approved dealer as soon as
possible.

GEAR LEVER
Selecting reverse gear(vehicle stationary)
Follow the grid marked on knob 1 and,
depending on the vehicle, lift the ring
against the knob to engage reverse
gear.
The reversing lights will come on as
soon as reverse gear is selected with
the ignition on.
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 prevent any risk of accident,
have your vehicle checked by an
approved dealer.

Dispositifs de correction et d’assistance à la conduite (X92 - Re\
nault)
ENG_NU_975-6_X92_Dacia_2
DRIVER CORRECTION DEVICES/AIDS (3/3)
The traction control ASR offers addi-
tional safety, it is recommended that
you do not drive with the function disa-
bled. Correct this as soon as possible
by pressing switch 1 again.
Note: The function is reactivated auto-
matically when the ignition is switched
on or when a speed of approximately
30 mph (50 km/h) is exceeded.
Emergency brake assist
This is an additional system to ABS
which helps reduce vehicle stopping
distances.
Operating principle
The system detects an emergency
braking situation. In this case, the brak-
ing assistance immediately develops
maximum power and may trigger ABS
regulation.
ABS braking is maintained as long as
the brake pedal is not released.
Hazard warning lights switching on
Depending on the vehicle, these may
light up in the event of sudden decel-
eration.
Operating faults
When the system detects an operating
fault, the warning light
x is dis-
played on the instrument panel.
Consult an approved dealer.
Braking anticipation
Depending on the vehicle, when you
rapidly release the accelerator, the
system anticipates the braking ma-
noeuvre in order to reduce stopping
distances.
Disabling the function ASR
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 wheel-
spin. If this is not required, it is possible
to deactivate the function by pressing
switch
1. In this case, the warning light
comes on, on the instrument
panel. This action does not deactivate
the ESC.

BATTERY: troubleshooting (2/2)
Connect the positive cable (+) A to the
(+) terminal 1 of the discharged battery,
then to the (+) terminal 2 of the battery
supplying the current.
Connect the negative cable (–) B to the
(–) 3 terminal of the battery supplying
the current and then to the (–) 4 termi-
nal of the discharged battery.
Start the engine as normal. As soon as
it starts, disconnect cables A and B in
reverse order (4-3-2-1).
Starting the vehicle using the
battery from another vehicle
If you have to use the battery from an-
other vehicle to start, obtain suitable
jump leads (with a large cross section)
from an approved dealer or, if you al-
ready have jump leads, ensure that
they are in perfect condition.
The two batteries must have an iden-
tical nominal voltage of 12 volts. The
battery supplying the current should
have a capacity (amp-hours, Ah) which
is at least the same as that of the dis-
charged battery.
Ensure that there is no risk of contact
between the two vehicles (risk of short
circuiting when the positive terminals
are connected) and that the discharged
battery is properly connected. Switch
off your vehicle ignition.
Start the engine of the vehicle supply-
ing the current and run it at an interme-
diate engine speed.
Check that there is no con-
tact between leads A and B
and that the positive lead A
is not touching any metal
parts on the vehicle supplying the
current.
Risk of serious injury and/or damage
to the vehicle.

Refitting a front or rear wiper
blade
To refit the wiper blade, proceed in re-
verse order to removal. Make sure that
the blade is correctly locked in position.
Check the condition of the wiper
blades. You are responsible for their
service life:
– clean the blades, windscreen and rear screen regularly with soapy
water;
– do not use them when the wind- screen or rear screen are dry;
– free them from the windscreen or rear screen when they have not
been used for a long time.
– In frosty weather, make
sure that the wiper blades
are not stuck by ice (to
avoid the risk of the motor
overheating).
– Check the condition of the wiper
blades.
Replace the wiper blades as soon
as they begin to lose efficiency
(approximately once a year).
Whilst changing the blade, take care
not to drop the arm onto the window
after it has been removed as this
may break the window.
