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
The steering lock must not be
applied; the ignition key must be in
position “M” (ignition) allowing
lights and signals to be used (stop
lights and direction indicators).
The vehicle lights must be used at
night.
It is also important to observe the
towing conditions defined by the
legislation for the particular country
you are in. Do not exceed the towing
weight for your vehicle. Consult
your Renault Dealer.Only use the towing ring2(in the
tool kit1) and the towing points at
the front3and rear4. (Never use
the drive shafts.) These towing
points may only be used for pulling
the vehicle, never for lifting it either
directly or indirectly.Front towing point3
Rear towing point4
Unclip the cover5.
First screw in the towing
ring2by hand as far as it
will go. Then use the
wheelbrace from the tool
kit to finish tightening it.

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.

ACCESSORIES
Using mobile phones and
CB equipment
Mobile phones and CB
equipment with integrated
aerials may cause interference to
the original electronic systems
fitted to the vehicle: it is advisable
only to use equipment with an
external aerial.
Also, for your own safety, we
would advise you always to take
account of traffic conditions and
not to use this type of equipment
when you are driving.After-sales installation of
electric or electronic
accessories
•Anyworkontheelectric
circuit of the vehicle must be
carried out by Renault network
engineers: if the system is
connected incorrectly, it may
result in damage being caused to
the electrical installation and/or
the units connected to it.
• If the vehicle is retrofitted with
any electrical equipment, make
sure that the unit is correctly
protected by a fuse. Ask for
information on the rating and
position of this fuse.
After-sales installation of
non-electrical accessories (roof
bars, towing attachments, etc.)
Accessories approved by Renault
are based on a strict specification
and are regularly tested. We would
recommend that you use approved
accessories (particularly where
these affect safety) because they are
particularly reliable and
appropriate for your vehicle.
