Get Driving -> STARTING, STOPPING THE ENGINE: vehicle with card Guide for Dacia Sandero 4 Door Third Generation (2021-2026)

STARTING, STOPPING THE ENGINE: vehicle with card (1/6)

LPG version

The engine always starts with petrol,

activate the starter without revving.

The system will automatically deter-

mine the switchover from petrol to LPG.

Depending on the vehicle, under cer-

tain conditions of use (e.g. strong ac-

celeration, particle filter regeneration

etc.), the system may opt to temporarily

switch back to petrol mode. If the en-

vironmental conditions are once again

suitable, the system may once again

permit LPG mode.

At temperatures close to 0°C or less, it

is recommended to use ECO mode to

maximise the use of LPG.➥ 2.27
