BATTERY breakdown
To avoid all risk of sparks:
- Ensure the “accessories” are
switched off before disconnecting
or reconnecting the battery.
- When charging is finished, switch
off the charger before connecting
or disconnecting the battery.
- Do not place metal objects on the
battery to avoid creating a short
circuit between the terminals.
Connecting a battery charger
Both battery leads must be
disconnected (engine switched off).
Do not disconnect the battery when
the engine is running.Follow the
instructions for use given by the
manufacturer of the battery charger
you are using.Only a well-charged and well-
maintained battery will have a long
and useful life and enable you to
start your vehicle's engine normally.
The battery must be kept clean and
dry and the terminals and clips
must be cleaned and coated with
anti-acid grease.
Have the battery's charging capacity
checked regularly:
• Especially if you use your vehicle
for short journeys or for frequent
town driving.
• If an abnormal amount of
electrolyte is used.
• When the external temperature
drops, it isnormal for the
charging capacity to decrease.In
winter, only use those electrical
components which are really
necessary.
• Finally, remember that the battery
charge decreases naturally owing
to a certain number of permanent
accessories on the vehicle such as
the clock or other accessories
fitted.When a large number of accessories
are fitted to the vehicle, have them
connectedafter the ignition switch.
In this case, it is advisable to have
your vehicle fitted with a battery
which has an increased nominal
capacity. Consult your Renault
Dealer.
If the vehicle is to be left stationary
for a long time, disconnect the
battery and recharge it regularly,
especially in cold weather. The
memories, radio etc. will then have
to be reprogrammed. The battery
must be stored in a dry and
ventilated area protected from frost.
Specific procedures may
be required to charge
some batteries. Consult
your Dealer.
Avoid all risks of sparks which
may cause an immediate
explosion and charge the battery
in a well-ventilated area. Risk of
serious injury.

TOWING breakdown,(continued)
• Renault specifies the
use of 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.
• Do not accelerate or brake
suddenly when towing, as this
may result in damage being
caused to the vehicle.
• When towing a vehicle, it
is advisable not to exceed
15 mph (25 km/h).Towing a vehicle with
automatic transmission: special
notes
Engine switched off:The transmission
is no longer lubricated. It is
preferable to tow this type of
vehicle on a trailer or tow it with the
front wheels off the ground.
In exceptional cases, you can tow
the vehicle with all four wheels on
the ground for a maximum distance
of 30 miles (50 km).
The selector lever must be in
neutral (position N).
If the lever becomes jammed in P
position, even though you are
pressing down the brake pedal, the
lever can be released manually. To
do this, unclip coverI. Press on both
the raised part (under coverI)and
the unlocking buttonAat the same
time to move the lever from
positionP.
