TOWING: breakdown recovery (2/2)
Only use the front 3  and rear  6 towing 
points
(never use the drive shafts or any other 
part of the vehicle)
These towing points may only be used 
for towing: never use them for lifting the 
vehicle directly or indirectly.Access to towing points
Unclip cover  5 or 7 by sliding a flat tool 
(or the key integrated in the RENAULT 
card) under the cover.
Tighten towing hitch  4  fully: as much 
as possible by hand at first, then finish 
tightening it using the wheelbrace or, 
depending on the vehicle, the lever.
Only use the towing eye 4  and the 
wheelbrace located under the lug-
gage compartment carpet in the tool kit 
(please refer to the information under 
“Tools” in Section 5).
When the engine is 
stopped, steering and brak-
ing assistance are not op-
erational.Do not leave the tools unse-
cured inside the vehicle as 
they may come loose under 
braking.

– 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  30 mph 
(50 km/h).
–  Do not push the vehicle if the  steering column is locked.

WEIGHTS (in kg)
The weights indicated for a basic vehicle without options: they vary dep\
ending on the your vehicle’s equipment. Consult 
your approved Dealer.Maximum permissible all-up weight (MMAC)
Maximum permissible all-up weight (MMTA)
Gross Train Weight (MTR) Weights are indicated on the vehicle identification plate (refer to 
the information on “Vehicle identification plates” in Section 6)
Braked Trailer Weight* found by calculating: MTR - MMAC
Unbraked Trailer Weight* 575
Permissible nose weight* 60 kg except 1.5 dCi engine
75 kg for 1.5 dCi engine
Maximum permissible load on roof 80 kg (including carrying device)
* Towing weight (towing a caravan, boat, etc.)
Towing is prohibited when the MTR - MMAC calculation is equal to zero, or\
 when the MTR is equal to zero (or is not listed) on 
the identification plate.
–  It is important to comply with the towing weights, governed by local leg\
islation in each country and, in particular, laid down in  the Road Traffic Regulations. Contact an approved Dealer about any towing equipment.
–  When towing, under no circumstances may  the total train weight (vehicle + trailer) be exceeded . However the following is 
permitted:
–  rear axle MMTA exceeded by no more than 15%,
–  maximum MMAC exceeded by no more than 10% or 100 kg (whichever is reach\
ed first).
  In either case, the maximum speed of the vehicle and trailer must not ex\
ceed 60 mph (100 km/h) and the tyre pressures must  be increased by 0.2 bar (3 PSI).
–  The engine output and climbing capability are reduced with altitude. We recommend that the maximum load be reduced by  10% at an altitude of 1,000 metres and by an additional 10% for each 1,0\
00 metres thereafter.
Weight transfer (except utility version)
Depending on the local legislation, if the Maximum Authorised Mass of the vehicle has not been reached, up to 300 kg can be\
 
transferred to the braked trailer, within the limits of the Gross Train Weight.
