Avertisseur de perte de pression des pneumatiques (X52 - Dacia)
ENG_NU_993-5_X52_Dacia_2
TYRE PRESSURE LOSS WARNING (1/3)
If fitted on the vehicle, while driving, this
system notifies the driver if one or more
tyres lose pressure.
Operating principle
Each wheel (except for the emergency
spare wheel) has a sensor in the infla-
tion valve which periodically measures
the tyre pressure while driving.
Warning light
1 comes on to
notify the driver if the pressure is too
low.
Resetting the standard level
for the tyre pressures
This should be done:
– when the standard tyre pressure needs to be changed to adapt to
usage conditions (empty, carrying a
load, motorway driving, etc.);
– after changing a wheel.
It should always be done after checking
the tyre pressure of all four tyres when
cold.
Tyre pressures must correspond to the
current usage of the vehicle (empty,
carrying a load, motorway driving, etc.).
This function is an addi-
tional driving aid.
However, the function does
not take the place of the
driver. It cannot, therefore, under
any circumstances replace the vig-
ilance or the responsibility of the
driver.
Check the tyre pressures, including
the emergency spare wheel, once a
month.

Operating faults
– If the
x warning light on the ins-
trument panel comes on while dri-
ving, braking is still operational ;
– If the
x and D warning
lights on the instrument panel come
on when driving, this indicates a
fault with the braking system.
ABS, ESP and emergency brake assist
are deactivated.
Consult an approved dealer.
Depending on the vehicle, this is com-
posed of:
– of the ABS (anti-lock braking
system);
– electronic stability control ESC
with understeer control and trac-
tion control ASR ;
– emergency brake assist;
– hill start assistance.
These functions are an ad-
ditional aid in the event of
critical driving conditions,
enabling the vehicle beha-
viour to be adapted to suit the dri-
ving conditions.
However, the functions do not take
the place of the driver. They do
not increase the vehicle’s limits
and should not encourage you
to drive more quickly. Therefore,
they can under no circumstances
replace the vigilance or responsibi-
lity of the driver when manoeuvring
the vehicle (the driver must always
be ready for sudden incidents which
may occur when driving).
Your braking systems
are partially operational.
However, it is dangerous
to brake suddenly and
it is essential to stop immediately,
as soon as traffic conditions allow.
Contact an approved dealer.
ABS (anti-lock braking
system)
Under heavy braking, the ABS prevents
the wheels from locking, allowing the
stopping distance to be managed and
keeping control of the vehicle.
Under these circumstances, the vehi-
cle can be steered to avoid an obstacle
whilst braking. In addition, this system
can increase stopping distances, parti-
cularly on roads with low surface grip
(wet ground etc.).
You will feel a pulsation through the
brake pedal each time the system is
activated. The ABS does not in any
way improve the vehicle's physical per-
formance relating to the road surface
and road-holding. It is still essential to
follow the rules of good driving practice
(such as driving at a safe distance from
the vehicle in front etc.).
In an emergency, apply firm and
continuous pressure to the brake
pedal. There is no need to pump
it repeatedly. The ABS will modu-
late the force applied in the braking
system.

Electronic stability control
ESC with understeer control
and traction control ASR
Electronic stability control ESC
(depending on vehicle)
This system helps you to keep control
of the vehicle in critical driving condi-
tions (avoiding an obstacle, loss of grip
on a bend, etc.).
Operating principle
A sensor in the steering wheel detects
the direction selected by the driver.
Other sensors throughout the vehicle
measure the actual direction.
The system compares the direction se-
lected by the driver and the actual di-
rection of the vehicle and corrects this
as necessary by applying the brakes
selectively and/or acting on the engine
power. Understeer control
This system optimises the action of the
ESC in the case of pronounced un-
dersteer (loss of front axle road hol-
ding).
Traction control ASR
This system helps to limit wheelspin of
the drive wheels and to control the vehi-
cle when pulling away accelerating or
decelerating.
Operating principle
Using the wheel sensors, the system
measures and compares the speed of
the drive wheels at all times and slows
down their over-rotation. If a wheel is
starting to slip, the system brakes au-
tomatically until the drive supplied be-
comes compatible with the level of grip
under the wheel again.
The system also adjusts the engine
speed to the grip available under the
wheels, independently of the pressure
exerted on the accelerator pedal.
Warning light
on the instrument
panel flashes when the function ESC
starts operating (with ASR).
These functions are an ad-
ditional aid in the event of
critical driving conditions,
enabling the vehicle beha-
viour to be adapted to suit the dri-
ving conditions.
However, the functions do not take
the place of the driver. They do
not increase the vehicle’s limits
and should not encourage you
to drive more quickly. Therefore,
they can under no circumstances
replace the vigilance or responsibi-
lity of the driver when manoeuvring
the vehicle (the driver must always
be ready for sudden incidents which
may occur when driving).
Operating fault
When the system detects an opera-
ting fault, the
warning light on
the instrument panel comes on. In this
case, the ESC and the ASR are deac-
tivated.
Please contact an authorised dealer.

Emergency brake assist
This system supplements the ABS
and helps reduce vehicle stopping dis-
tances.
Operating principle
The system is for detecting an emer-
gency braking situation. In this case,
the braking assistance immediately de-
velops maximum power and may trig-
ger ABS regulation.
ABS braking is maintained as long as
the brake pedal is applied.
Hazard warning lights switching on
Depending on the vehicle, these may
light up in the event of sudden decele-
ration.
Operating faults
When the system detects an operating
fault, the warning light
x is dis-
played on the instrument panel.

Régulateur-limiteur de vitesse : fonction régulateur (X52 - Dacia\
)
ENG_NU_993-5_X52_Dacia_2
The cruise control function helps you to
maintain your driving speed at a speed
that you choose, called the cruising
speed.
This cruising speed may be set at any
speed above 20 mph (30 km/h).
This function is an additio-
nal driving aid. However,
the function does not take
the place of the driver.
Therefore, it can under no circums-
tances replace the driver’s responsi-
bility to respect speed limits and to
be vigilant (the driver must always
be ready to brake).
Cruise control must not be used in
heavy traffic, on undulating or slip-
pery roads (black ice, aquaplaning,
gravel) and during bad weather (fog,
rain, side winds etc.).
There is a risk of accidents.
The cruise control function
is in no way linked to the
braking system.
Controls
1 Main “On/Off” switch.
2 Cruising speed activation, storage and increase switch (+).
3 Decreasing cruising speed (-).
4 Activation with recall of saved crui- sing speed (R).
5 Switch the function to standby (with cruising speed saved) (O).

Aide au parking (X52 - Dacia)
ENG_NU_993-5_X52_Dacia_2
This function is an addi-
tional aid that indicates the
distance between the vehi-
cle and an obstacle whilst
reversing, using sound signals.
Under no circumstances should it
replace the driver’s care or respon-
sibility whilst reversing.
The driver should always look out
for sudden hazards during driving:
always ensure that there are no
moving obstacles (such as a child,
animal, pram, bicycle, etc.) or small,
narrow objects such as stones or
posts in your path when manoeu-
vring.
Operating principle
Ultrasonic sensors, fitted in the vehi-
cle’s rear bumper, measure the dis-
tance between the vehicle and an ob-
stacle when reversing.
This measurement is indicated by
beeps which become more frequent the
closer you come to the obstacle, until
they become a continuous beep when
the vehicle is approximately 40 centi-
metres from the obstacle.
There is a beep when reverse gear is
engaged. If the beep sounds for a long
time (3 seconds), this signals an oper-
ating fault.
NB: ensure that the ultrasonic sensors
are not obscured (by dirt, mud, snow,
etc.).
PARKING DISTANCE CONTROL (1/2)
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.

Boîte de vitesses robotisée (X52 - Dacia)
ENG_NU_993-5_X52_Dacia_2
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.

ENG_NU_993-5_X52_Dacia_3
Fuel consumption
You will normally notice an increase in
fuel consumption (especially when driv-
ing in town) when the air conditioning is
operating.
For vehicles fitted with air conditioning
with no automatic mode, switch off the
system when it is not required.
Advice for reducing consumption
and helping to preserve the environ-
ment
Drive with the air vents open and the
windows closed.
If the vehicle has been parked in the
sun, open the doors for a few moments
to let the hot air escape before starting
the engine.
Maintenance
Refer to the Maintenance Document
for your vehicle for the inspection fre-
quency.
AIR CONDITIONING: information and advice on use
Operating faults
As a general rule, contact your ap-
proved dealer in the event of an oper-
ating fault.
– Reduction in de-icing, demisting
or air conditioning performance .
This may be caused by the passen-
ger compartment filter cartridge be-
coming clogged.
– No cold air is being produced .
Check that the controls are set cor-
rectly and that the fuses are sound.
Otherwise, switch off the system.
Presence of water under the
vehicle
After prolonged use of the air condi-
tioning system, it is normal for water
to be present under the vehicle. This is
caused by condensation.
Do not open the refriger-
ant fluid circuit. The fluid
may damage eyes or skin.
