TYRE PRESSURES (2/2)
Tyre safety and use of snow chains:
Refer to the information on “Tyres” in
Section 5 for the servicing conditions
and, depending on the version, the use
of chains.
For your safety, please re-
spect the speed limit.
When they need to be re-
placed, only tyres of the
same make, size, type and profile
should be used on a single axle.
They must: either have a load ca-
pacity and speed rating at least
equal to those of the original
tyres, or conform to those recom-
mended by an authorised dealer.
Failure to heed these instructions
could endanger your safety and
affect your vehicle’s roadworthi-
ness.
Risk of loss of control of the ve-
hicle.
Special note concern-
ing fully laden vehicles
(Maximum Permissible
All-Up Weight) and towing
a trailer: the maximum speed must
be limited to 60 mph (100 km/h) and
the tyre pressure increased by 0.2
bar.
Please refer to the information on
“Weights” in Section 6.
Risk of tyre blowouts.

Do not leave the tools unsecured inside the vehicle as they may come loo\
se under braking. After use, check that all the
tools are correctly clipped into the tool kit, then position it correctl\
y in its housing: there is a risk of injury.
If wheel bolts are supplied in the tool kit, only use these bolts for th\
e emergency spare wheel: refer to the label affixed
to the emergency spare wheel.
The jack is designed for wheel changing purposes only. Under no circumstances should it be used for carrying out repairs un-
derneath the vehicle or to gain access to the underside of the vehicle.

TOWING: breakdown recovery (1/2)
Before towing, unlock the steering
column: with the clutch depressed,
engage first gear (lever in position N
or R for vehicles with automatic gear-
boxes), insert the RENAULT card in the
card reader, then press the engine start
button for two seconds.
Reposition the lever to neutral (posi-
tion N for vehicles fitted with an auto-
matic gearbox).
The column is unlocked, the acces-
sory functions are supplied: the vehi-
cle lights can be used (indicators, brake
lights etc.). At night the vehicle must
have its lights on.
Once you have finished towing, press
the engine start button twice (risk of
running down the battery). The speed specified by current legis-
lation for towing must always be ob-
served. If your vehicle is the towing
vehicle, do not exceed the maximum
towing weight for your vehicle (refer to
the information on “Weights” in Section
6).
Towing a vehicle with an
automatic gearbox
With the engine switched off, the trans-
mission 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 neutral N position,
and for a distance not exceeding
30 miles (50 km).
Do not remove the
RENAULT card from the
reader when the vehicle is
being towed.

If the lever is stuck in P , even though
you are depressing the brake pedal, the
lever can be released manually. To do
this, unclip the base of the lever, then
insert a tool (with a hard rod to it) into
the slot 1 and press the button 2 at the
same time in order to unlock the lever.
Contact an authorised dealer as soon
as possible.

5.35
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).
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
Front towing point 3
Unclip the cover 5 by sliding a flat tool
(or the key integrated in the RENAULT
card) under the cover.
Rear towing point 6
Unclip the flap 7 by inserting a flat-
blade screwdriver in the groove A.
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.
6
74– 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.
– In all cases, it is advisable not to exceed 15.5 mph (25 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* 620
Permissible nose weight* 75 kg
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.
