ADVICE ON ANTIPOLLUTION AND HOW TO ECONOMISE ON FUEL WHEN DRIVING(continued)
General hints
•Electricity is “fuel”; switch off all
the electrical units which are not
really needed.
However,(with safety always in
mind), keep your lights on when
the visibility is bad (see and be
seen).
• Try to use the air vents. Driving at
a speed of 60 mph (100 km/h)
with the windows open will
increase the use of fuel by 4%.•For vehicles fitted with air
conditioning,morefuelmaybe
used during urban driving; switch
off the system when it is not really
needed.
• Never fill the fuel tank up to the
brim to avoid it overflowing.
• Do not leave an empty roof rack in
position.
• Use a trailer for carrying bulky
objects.
• When towing a caravan, fit a wind
deflector and adjust it properly.
• Avoid using the car for door to
door calls (short journeys with
long stops in between), as the
engine never reaches its ideal
temperature. Try to group your
calls.
Tyres
•Inflation pressures which are too
low may increase fuel
consumption.
• The use of non-recommended
tyres may also increase fuel
consumption.

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.

WEIGHTS(continued)
(1)Towed weight
(Towing a caravan, boat, etc.)
- It is important that the towing weights in each country governed by local legislation are respected. Consult your Renault
Dealer for all towing attachments.In all cases, never exceed the maximum permissible total train weight (vehicle +
trailer).
- If your vehicle is already being used fully laden (maximum permitted all up weight); your maximum speed must be
limited to 60 mph (100 km/h) and the tyre inflation pressures should be increased by 0.2 bar.
- Engine output and performance on hills are reduced with altitude. We recommend that you reduce the maximum load by
10% at an altitude of 1000 metres, then by an additional 10% for each 1000 metres thereafter.
