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.

Mise en route / Arrêt du moteur (H79 Ph2 - Dacia)
ENG_NU_1079-3_H79Ph2_Dacia_2
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.

R90 Ph2 - H79 - Dacia)
ENG_NU_1079-3_H79Ph2_Dacia_2
SPECIAL FEATURES OF PETROL VERSIONS
The following operating conditions:
– driving for long periods when the low
fuel level warning light is lit;
– using leaded petrol;
– using oil or fuel additives which are not approved by the manufacturer.
Or operating faults such as:
– faulty ignition system, running out of fuel or disconnected spark plugs re-
sulting in the engine misfiring or cut-
ting out when driving;
– loss of power,
may cause the catalytic converter to
overheat, reducing its efficiency which
may irreparably damage it and cause
heat damage to the vehicle. If you notice any of the above operating
faults, have the necessary repairs car-
ried out as soon as possible by an ap-
proved Dealer.
These faults may be avoided by reg-
ularly taking your vehicle to your ap-
proved dealer at the intervals speci-
fied in your Maintenance Service
Document.
Starting problems
To avoid damaging the catalytic con-
verter,
do not keep trying to start the
engine (using the start button, or by
pushing or towing the vehicle) without
having identified and corrected the
starting fault.
If the fault cannot be identified, do not
continue to try and start the engine, but
contact an approved dealer.
Do not park the vehicle or
run the engine in locations
where combustible sub-
stances or materials such
as grass or leaves can come into
contact with a hot exhaust system.

Particularités des versions diesel (H79 - Dacia)
ENG_NU_1079-3_H79Ph2_Dacia_2
SPECIAL FEATURES OF DIESEL VERSIONS
Diesel engine speed
Diesel engines are fitted with an injec-
tion pump which prevents the engine
speed being exceeded irrespective of
the gear selected.
If the
Ä and Ò warning lights
come on, consult an approved dealer
as soon as possible.
When driving, depending on the fuel
grade used, it is possible that white
smoke may be emitted.
This is due to the exhaust particle filter
being cleaned automatically, and does
not affect the way the vehicle runs.
Running out of fuel
If the tank has been completely
drained, the system must be reprimed
after the tank is refilled: see information
on the “Fuel tank” in Section 1 before
restarting the engine.
Precautions to be taken in
winter
To avoid any faults in icy weather:
– ensure that the battery is always fully charged;
– always keep the diesel tank rela- tively full to avoid water vapour con-
densing in it and accumulating at the
bottom of the tank.
Do not park the vehicle or
run the engine in locations
where combustible sub-
stances or materials such
as grass or leaves can come into
contact with a hot exhaust system.
