BODYWORK MAINTENANCE (continued)
You should
- Frequently wash your car, with the
engine off , with cleaning products
recommended by us (never use
abrasive products) and be sure to
rinse the wheel arches and
underneath the bodywork to
eliminate:
- spots of tree resin and industrial grime;
- bird droppings , which contain
chemicals that rapidly discolour
paintwork and may even cause
the paint to peel off;
The vehicle must bewashed
immediately to remove these
marks since it is impossible to
remove them by polishing.
- salt deposited in the wheel arches and the underside of the body
after driving in areas where the
roads have been gritted,
- mud in the wheel arches and the underside of the body which
forms damp patches. - Observe the vehicle stopping
distances when driving on gravelled
surfaces to prevent paint damage.
- Repair, or have repaired quickly, areas where the paint has been
damaged to prevent corrosion
spreading.
- Remember to visit the body shop periodically in order to maintain
your RENAULT anti-corrosion
warranty. Refer to the Warranty
and Services booklet.
- Respect local regulations about washing vehicles (e.g. do not wash
your vehicle on a public highway). - Before using a roller type car wash,
return the wiper stalk to the Stop
position (refer to the
Wipers/Washers information in
section 1). Check the mounting of
external accessories, additional
lights and rear-view mirrors and
take care to attach the wiper blades
and radio aerial with an adhesive.
Remove the car phone aerial if your
vehicle is fitted with this
equipment.
- Spray mechanical components, hinges, etc. with products
approved by RENAULT’s Technical
Department to protect them after
they have been cleaned.
We have selected special
products to care for your vehicle
and you can obtain these from
RENAULT accessory outlets.

BATTERY: troubleshooting (continued)
Connecting a battery charger
The battery charger should be
compatible with a battery with a
nominal voltage of 12 Volts.
With the engine switched off, it is
essential to disconnect the cables
connected to both battery terminals,
starting with the negative terminal .
Do not disconnect the battery when
the engine is running. Follow the
manufacturer’s instructions for 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 the vehicle’s engine normally.
The battery must be kept clean and
dry.
Have the battery’s charge status
checked regularly:
 Especially if you use your vehicle for short journeys or for frequent
driving in town.  When the external temperature
drops (in winter), the charge
decreases . In winter, only use
electrical equipment which is
really necessary.
 Finally, you should understand that the charge decreases naturally
as a result of certain “permanent
electrical consumers” such as the
clock, After-Sales accessories, etc.
When many accessories are fitted to
the vehicle, have them connected
to + after ignition feed . In this case,
it is advisable to have your vehicle
fitted with a battery which has an
increased capacity. Contact your
RENAULT Dealer. If your vehicle is to be left stationary
for a relatively long time, disconnect
the battery or have it recharged
regularly, in particular during cold
weather. The equipment with a
memory, radio etc. will then have to
be reprogrammed. The battery must
be stored in a cool dry place,
protected from frost.
Special procedures may
be required to charge
some batteries. Contact
your RENAULT Dealer.
Avoid all risk of sparks which
may cause an immediate
explosion and charge the battery
in a well-ventilated area. Risk of
serious injury.

TOWING: breakdown
Press the Start/Stop button twice in
succession once towing is finished
(risk of running down the battery).
Furthermore, it is essential to
respect the towing regulations
defined in the legislation of the
country concerned and, if your
vehicle is the towing vehicle, do not
exceed the towing weight of your
vehicle. Contact your RENAULT
Dealer.Towing procedure
Before any towing, check that the
steering column is not locked.
If it is not locked, insert the
RENAULT card into the reader and
press the start/stop button for five
seconds without pressing on the
pedals. The steering column
unlocks, the vehicle accessory
functions are supplied with power
and you can use the lights (stop
lights, directional indicator lights,
etc.): the vehicle must have its lights
on at night.
Do not remove the RENAULT card
from the reader at any point when
the vehicle is being towed.
Towing a vehicle with
automatic transmission: special
information
Engine switched off: The gearbox 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.
Under exceptional circumstances ,
you may tow the vehicle with all
four wheels on the ground, only
going forward, with the gear lever in
the N position, and for a distance
not exceeding 30 miles (50 km).
If the lever is stuck at P,
even though you are
depressing the brake
pedal, the lever can be
released manually.
To do this, unclip the upper
section of the cover at the base of
the lever.
Press simultaneously on the mark
on the gaiter and the unlocking
button on the lever.
