Interpreting some of the
values displayed after
resetting
The values showing average fuel
consumption, range and average
speed will become more stable and re-
liable the further you travel after pres-
sing the reset button.
For the first few miles after pressing
the reset key you will notice that the
range increases as you travel. This
range takes into account the average
fuel consumption since the last time the
reset button was pressed. Therefore,
the fuel consumption may decrease
when:
– the vehicle stops accelerating,
– the engine reaches its operating
temperature (engine cold when
reset button pressed),
– when driving from a built-up area
onto the open road.
Therefore, if the average fuel
consumption decreases, the
range will increase. – You may also notice that the ave-
rage fuel consumption increases
when the vehicle is stationary and
the engine idling.
This is normal, since the computer
takes account of fuel used during
idling.
Manually resetting the journey para-
meters: with the display showing one
of the journey parameters, press the
button 2 until the display is reset.
Automatically resetting the journey
parameters: the reset is automatic
when the capacity of one of the memo-
ries is exceeded.

Stopping the engineWith 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.LPG versionsThe engine is always started using
petrol:
– activate the starter without accelerat- ing;
– 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.
Every 3,000 miles driven using LPG,
drivers are recommended to drive for
around 3 to 6 miles in petrol mode.
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 N or P.
Refer to the information on the
“Automatic gearbox” in Section 2.
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
Never leave your vehicle
with the key or remote con-
trol inside and never leave
a child (or a pet) unsuper-
vised, even for a short while.
The reason for this is that the child
may endanger himself or others by
starting the engine, activating equip-
ment such as the window winders
for example, or locking the doors.
Risk of serious injury.
Never switch off the ignition
before the vehicle has stopped
completely . Once the engine has
stopped, the brake servo, power as-
sisted steering and passive safety
equipment such as air bags will no
longer operate.
The steering is locked when the key
is removed.

Particularités des versions GPL (H79 Ph2 - Dacia)

SPECIAL FEATURES OF LPG VERSIONS (3/3)
If driving under severe
conditions
If driving under severe conditions
(heavily laden vehicle, high outside
temperature, starting on a steep slope,
etc), you are recommended to switch to
petrol mode.
In the event of an accident
The main precautions to be taken are
the same as with petrol vehicles:
– apply the handbrake;
– stop the engine (a safety device that stops LPG from entering the engine
is automatically triggered);
– switch off the ignition;
– observe local regulations.
LPG has a very specific
smell so you will be able to
detect any leaks easily. If
you smell gas in your vehi-
cle or immediately surrounding your
vehicle:
– switch to petrol mode immedi- ately and make sure there are no
flames or sources of fire near the
vehicle;
– go to an authorised dealer.
Do not touch, hit or dis-
mantle any part of the LPG
system components.

Conseils de conduite, eco conduite (H79 Ph2 - Dacia)
ENG_NU_1079-3_H79Ph2_Dacia_2
DRIVING ADVICE, ECO-DRIVING (3/5)
– Avoid sudden acceleration.
– Brake as little as possible. If you an-
ticipate an obstacle or bend in ad-
vance, you may then simply release
the accelerator pedal.
– Do 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.
On versions with an automatic gear-
box, it is preferable to keep the gear
lever in position D.
Vehicles with 4x4 (4WD) trans-
mission
On flat, level ground, with the vehi-
cle unladen, you are recommended
to start in second gear.
Driving advice, Eco-driving
Behaviour
– 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.
– Speed is expensive.
– Sporty driving uses a lot of fuel: drive with a light right foot.
– Do not overrev the engine in the in- termediate gears.
You should always use the highest gear possible.
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 .
