OperationSwitch on the ignition.
The display on the instrument panel
switches on.
If neutral ( N) is displayed, start the
engine but do not depress the accel-
erator.
If any gear other than neutral is en-
gaged, N flashes on the display; press
the brake pedal and place the lever in
position N. Start the engine.
NB: Do not attempt to start the engine
by pushing the vehicle if the battery is
flat (the display remains off when the ig-
nition is switched on).
Under certain conditions, the engine
starter may take some time. Keep the
key in the starting position.
Starting
Moving forwards (starting in neutral)
The gear display shows N then A.
With the brake pedal depressed, posi-
tion the selector lever to D.
Release the brake pedal: – The engine’s idle speed is suffi-
cient for parking manoeuvres.
– Accelerate gently to move for-
wards. Reverse gear
(from neutral, with the
vehicle stationary)
With the brake pedal depressed, posi-
tion the selector lever to R. The letter R
appears on the display.
Release the brake pedal:
– The engine’s idle speed is suffi-
cient for parking manoeuvres.
– Accelerate gently to reverse.
There is a beep when reverse gear is
engaged.
You may shift from reverse gear to a
forwards gear by pushing the lever to D
once the vehicle is stationary.
Note: When the vehicle is stationary,
you must depress the brake pedal to
engage a gear. Otherwise, warning
light
Ó will come on.
SEQUENTIAL GEARBOX (2/6)
Exactly like a vehicle
equipped with a manual
gearbox, a vehicle equipped
with a sequential gearbox is
unable to prevent the vehicle from
rolling on a slope if the handbrake is
not applied or the brake pedal con-
stantly depressed.

Driving in manual mode
This mode can be activated at any time
when driving by pushing the lever to po-
sition M.
To shift up a gear, simply push the se-
lector lever backwards without neces-
sarily releasing the accelerator.
To shift down a gear, simply push the
selector lever forwards without neces-
sarily releasing the accelerator. The system will not tolerate a series
of up or down changes that cause the
engine to underrev or overrev.
By pushing the lever backwards twice,
you can move up two gears at a time
(except if under-revving). By pushing
the lever forwards twice, you can move
down two gears at a time (except if
over-revving).
When decelerating with the foot off the
pedal, the gears will automatically drop
to the low engine speed limit to avoid
stalling. The vehicle may be kept sta-
tionary (stop, red light etc.) by depress-
ing the brake pedal without shifting into
neutral N.The vehicle will move off again:
– either slowly, if you release the brake
without accelerating (e.g. when in a
traffic jam),
– or quickly, if you release the brake and accelerate.
Note: Neutral N may only be selected
when the vehicle is being driven or is
stationary or without touching the brake
pedal.
If the engine speed is too high or too
low, the system will choose the opti-
mum gear.
Manual mode can be deactivated and
reactivated at any time with the engine
running by moving the lever to position
D and respectively to M.

Driving in automatic mode
Each time the ignition is switched on,
starting in neutral, place the lever to D
to be able to shift directly to automatic
mode.
The letter A appears on the display.
The vehicle is controlled using the ac-
celerator and the brake. Gears will
change automatically at the correct
moment and at a suitable engine speed
because automatic mode takes into
consideration the road surface and the
chosen driving style.
Note:
Automatic mode takes account of:
– the position and speed of depression of the accelerator pedal to assess
driving style and select the optimum
gear,
– action on the brake pedal, to com- mence engine braking in preparation
for a downshift.
When stopped at traffic lights, with the
gear engaged, you can keep the ve-
hicle stationary by pressing the brake
pedal without changing to neutral N.
The vehicle will move off again:
– either slowly, if you release the brake
without accelerating (e.g. when in a
traffic jam),
– or quickly, if you release the brake and accelerate.
Economical driving
When driving, always leave the lever
in position D , keeping the accelerator
pedal lightly depressed to ensure auto-
matic gear changes at a lower engine
speed.
SEQUENTIAL GEARBOX (4/6)
Accelerating and overtaking
– slowly depress the accelerator pedal to accelerate gradually,
– to obtain maximum vehicle per- formance regardless of the mode
selected (automatic or manual),
quickly depress the accelerator
pedal beyond the kickdown point.
The speed with which you depress
the pedal will allow you to downshift
according to the vehicle’s capabili-
ties.
If the engine is being overrevved or
underevved, the system will select
the optimal gear.

Parking
When the vehicle is immobilised
– on a flat stretch of road, engage the
handbrake then switch off the igni-
tion,
– on a slope, it is possible to keep a gear engaged by positioning the
lever to position D or R, engage the
handbrake and switch off the igni-
tion.
Bleep
Never leave the vehicle with the engine
running when in gear. For safety rea-
sons, you will hear an intermittent
beeping sound when you open the door
if you have not shifted into neutral.
SEQUENTIAL GEARBOX (5/6)
An impact to the underside
of the vehicle (e.g.: striking
a post, raised kerb or other
street furniture) may result
in damage to the vehicle (e.g.: de-
formation of an axle).
To avoid any risk of accident, have
your vehicle checked by an ap-
proved Dealer.
Special circumstances
– If the bends and road surface do
not allow you to stay in automatic
mode (e.g. in the mountains), we
recommend that you change to
manual mode. This will prevent the
automatic gearbox from changing
gear repeatedly when climbing, and
permit engine braking on long de-
scents.
– On a slippery surface or surface
with little grip, change to manual
mode M and select second gear
before accelerating to avoid wheel-
spin.
In very cold weather, the system
may delay the gears from being
shifted while the engine reaches the
right temperature.

Towing a vehicle with a
sequential gearbox
If the gearbox is stuck in a gear:
– switch on the ignition,
– select neutral,
– check that the gearbox is in neutral,
– turn off the ignition.
If you cannot find neutral you must tow
the vehicle with the front wheels raised.
The vehicle should always be towed
with the ignition switched off.
SEQUENTIAL GEARBOX (6/6)
Operating faults – When driving, if the warning light 5
appears on the instrument panel dis-
play, this indicates a fault.
Consult an approved dealer.
– If the warning light 5 and the orange
warning light
Ò come on together
on the instrument panel while you
are driving, drive carefully to an au-
thorised dealer as soon as possible.
Failure to follow this recommendation
risks damaging your vehicle.

Changement de roue (X52 - Dacia)
ENG_NU_993-5_X52_Dacia_5
Offer up the jack 4 horizontally; the jack
head must be lined up with the sill 1 ,
closest to the wheel concerned, as
shown by arrow 2.
Crank up the jack 4 by hand at first to
align the base plate (which should be
inclined further inwards than the jack
head).
Turn the wheelbrace until the wheel lifts
off the ground.
CHANGING A WHEEL (1/2)
Vehicles equipped with a jack
and wheelbrace
If necessary, remove the hubcap.
Use the wheelbrace 3 to slacken off
the wheel bolts. Fit it so that you press
downwards rather than pulling up-
wards.
If the vehicle is parked on
the hard shoulder, you must
warn other road users of
your vehicle’s presence
with a warning triangle or with other
devices as per the legislation apply-
ing to the country you are in.
To prevent any risk of injury
or damage to the vehicle,
only crank the jack until the
wheel you are replacing is
a maximum of 3 centimetres off the
ground.
If the vehicle is not equipped with a
jack or wheelbrace, you can obtain
these from your approved dealer.Switch on the hazard warn-
ing lights.
Keep the vehicle away from
traffic and on a level surface
where it will not slip.
Apply the parking brake and engage
a gear (first or reverse).
Ask all passengers to leave the ve-
hicle and keep them away from traf-
fic.
