Boîte de vitesses automatique (H79 Ph2 - Dacia)

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION (3/3)
– If 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.
– In 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.
– Vehicles 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.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.
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 when you are pressing the
brake pedal, the lever can be released
manually. To do this, unclip the base of
the lever, and press recess 7 and the
unlocking button 2 simultaneously.
In very cold weather, the system
may prevent the gears from being
shifted in manual mode until the
gearbox reaches the right tempera-
ture.
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.
For safety reasons, do not
switch off the ignition before
the vehicle has come to a
complete standstill.

Niveau huile moteur : appoint / remplissage (H79 Ph2 - Dacia)
ENG_NU_1079-3_H79Ph2_Dacia_4
ENGINE OIL LEVEL: topping up, filling (3/3)
Never run the engine in an
enclosed space as exhaust
gases are poisonous.
Resetting the alert after an oil
change
(depending on the vehicle)
If you change the oil yourself, you will
need to reset the oil change warning.
To do this, after switching on the igni-
tion, for ten seconds you must:
– Depress the accelerator pedal fully,
– with your foot on the accelerator,
depress the brake pedal three times
in succession.
Reinitialisation is complete when the
# indicator light goes out. If this is
not the case, repeat the operation.
Special case: if you change the oil
before the oil change interval excee-
ded warning is displayed, it will also be
necessary to reset the display. In this
case, the
# warning light comes on
for approximately 5 seconds to confirm
the reset.
The engine may be hot
during operations in close
proximity. In addition, the
engine cooling fan may
come on at any moment.
Risk of injury.
Exceeding the maximum
engine oil level
Under no circumstances
must the maximum fill level
be exceeded: risk of damage to the
engine and catalytic converter.
If the oil level exceeds the maximum
level, do not start your vehicle .
Contact an authorised dealer.

LEVELS (1/3)
Brake fluid level
This should be checked frequently,
and immediately if you notice even the
slightest loss in braking efficiency.
The level should be read with the engine
switched off and on level ground. Level
It is normal for the level to drop as the
brake shoes become worn, but it must
never drop lower than the “MINI” warn-
ing line shown on brake fluid reser-
voir 1.
If you wish to check the disc and drum
wear yourself, you should obtain the
document explaining the checking pro-
cedure from the manufacturer’s net-
work or web site.
Topping up
After any operation on the hydraulic cir-
cuit, a specialist must replace the fluid.
Only use fluids approved by our
Technical Department (and taken from
a sealed container).
Replacement intervals
Refer to the Maintenance Document for
your vehicle.
The engine may be hot
when carrying out opera-
tions in close proximity. In
addition, the engine cooling
fan can come on at any moment.
Risk of injury.
Consult your approved dealer at
once if you notice an abnormal or
repeated drop in any of the fluid
levels.
