A

Passenger compartment fuses
If any electrical component does not

work, check the condition of the fuses.

Unclip flap A using notch 1 to help you.
Use the fuse allocation label on the

back of flap A to identify the fuses.

To comply with current legislation, or

as a precaution, you can obtain an

emergency kit from your approved

dealer containing a set of spare

bulbs and fuses.

Tweezers 2
Disconnect the fuse using tweezers 2,

on the back of flap A.

To remove the fuse from the tweezers,

slide the fuse to the side.

It is not advisable to use the free fuse

locations.

Check the fuse in question and

replace it, if necessary, with a fuse of

the same rating.
If a fuse is fitted where the rating is too high, it may cause the electrical

circuit to overheat (risk of fire) in the event of an item of equipment using

an excessive amount of current.

Fuses in engine compartment B

Some functions are protected by fuses

located in the engine compartment

(unit B).

However, because of their reduced

accessibility,

we advise you to have

your fuses replaced by an approved

Dealer.

Batterie : dépannage (B90 - Dacia)

ENG_NU_817-9_B90_Dacia_5

Battery

BATTERY: troubleshooting

(1/2)

To avoid all risk of sparks:

– Ensure that any consumers (cour-

tesy lights, etc.) are switched off

before disconnecting or reconnect-

ing the battery;

– when charging, stop the charger

before connecting or disconnecting

the battery;

– to avoid creating a short circuit be-

tween the terminals, do not place

metal objects on the battery;

– always wait at least one minute after

the engine has been switched off

before disconnecting a battery;

– make sure that you reconnect the

battery terminals after refitting.

Handle the battery with care

as it contains sulphuric acid,

which must not come into

contact with eyes or skin. If

it does, wash the affected area with

plenty of cold water and consult a

doctor, if necessary.
Ensure that naked flames, red hot

objects and sparks do not come into

contact with the battery as there is a

risk of explosion.
The engine may be hot when car-

rying out operations in close prox-

imity. In addition, the engine cooling

fan can come on at any moment.
Risk of injury.

Connecting a battery charger

The battery charger must be com-

patible with a battery with nominal

voltage of 12 volts.
Do not disconnect the battery when the

engine is running.

Follow the instruc-

tions given by the manufacturer of

the battery charger you are using.
When many accessories are fitted to

the vehicle, have them connected to

the + after ignition feed.

Some batteries may have

specific conditions for re-

charging. Consult your ap-

proved dealer. Avoid the

risk of sparks, as this could cause

a sudden explosion, and always

charge the battery in a well-venti-

lated area.
Risk of serious injury.

Connect the positive (+) lead A to (+)

terminal 1 of the discharged battery,

then to (+) terminal 2 of the battery sup-

plying the current.
Connect the negative (–) lead B to (–)

terminal 3 of the battery supplying the

current and then to (–) terminal 4 of the

discharged battery.
Start the engine as normal. As soon as

it is running, disconnect leads A and B

in the reverse order

(4-3-2-1)

Starting the vehicle using the

battery from another vehicle

If you have to use the battery from an-

other vehicle to start, obtain suitable

jump leads (with a large cross section)

from an approved dealer or, if you al-

ready have jump leads, ensure that

they are in perfect condition.
The two batteries must have an iden-

tical nominal voltage of 12 volts. The

battery supplying the current should

have a capacity (amp-hours, Ah) which

is at least the same as that of the dis-

charged battery.
Ensure that there is no risk of contact

between the two vehicles (risk of short

circuiting when the positive terminals

are connected) and that the discharged

battery is properly connected. Switch

off your vehicle ignition.
Start the engine of the vehicle supply-

ing the current and run it at an interme-

diate engine speed.

Check that there is no con-

tact between leads A and B

and that the positive lead A

is not touching any metal

parts on the vehicle supplying the

current.
Risk of serious injury and/or damage

to the vehicle.

The steering wheel must be un-

locked and the ignition key must be

in position M (ignition on) to pro-

vide stop lights and hazard warning

lights on the towed vehicle. Always

switch on the lights when driving at

night. Remove any trailer.
It is also essential to observe the towing

regulations imposed by current legisla-

tion in each country, and not to exceed

the towable weight for your vehicle.

Consult an approved dealer.

Only use:

– at the front, towing hitch 1 (from

the luggage compartment)

and

towing point 3.

– At the rear, towing point 4.

These towing points may only be used

for pulling the vehicle, never for lifting it

either directly or indirectly.

Do not remove the key from

the ignition when the vehi-

cle is being towed.

– Use a rigid towing bar.

If a rope or cable is used

(where the law allows this),

the vehicle being towed

must be able to brake.

– A vehicle must not be towed if it is

not fit to be driven.

– Avoid accelerating or braking

suddenly when towing, as this

may result in damage being

caused to the vehicle.

– When towing a vehicle, it is ad-

visable not to exceed

15 mph

(25 km/h).
