Handle the battery with care as it contains sulphuric acid, which must not come into contact with eyes or skin. If it does, wash the affected area with
plenty of cold water. If necessary, consult a doctor.
Ensure that naked flames, red hot objects and sparks do not come into contact with the battery as there is a risk of explosion.

BATTERY: troubleshooting (3/4)
Special procedures may be required to charge some batteries. Contact your ap- proved Dealer.
Avoid all risk of sparks which may cause an immediate explosion and charge the battery in a well-venti- lated area. Risk of serious injury.
If your vehicle is to be left stationary for a relatively long time, disconnect the battery or have it recharged regularly, particularly during cold weather. It will then be necessary, with the engine run- ning, to move the steering wheel slowly, from lock to lock and to reprogram the electronic equipment with a memory feature, radio, etc. The battery should be stored in a cool and dry location pro- tected from frost.
Note: if you have disconnected or re- charged a battery, move the steering wheel slowly from lock to lock to reset the system.
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 exterior temperature drops
(in winter), the charge decreases. In winter, only use the electrical equipment that 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 the + after ignition feed. In this case, it is advisable to have your vehicle fitted with a battery which has an increased nominal capacity. Contact an approved Dealer.
Connecting a battery charger
The battery charger must be com- patible with a battery with nominal voltage of 12 volts.
Switch the engine off and then discon- nect both battery leads starting with the negative terminal.
Do not disconnect the battery when the engine is running. Follow the instruc- tions given by the manufacturer for the battery charger you are using.
Only a fully charged and well-main- tained 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.

Towing a vehicle with an
automatic gearbox
With the engine switched off: the transmission is no longer lubricated. It is preferable to tow this type of vehi- cle 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 position, and for a distance not exceeding 30 miles (50 km).
If the lever is stuck in P, even though you are de- pressing the brake pedal, the lever can be released manually.
To do this, unclip the upper sec-
tion of the cover at the base of the lever.
Press simultaneously on the mark on the gaiter and the unlocking button on the lever.
– Use a rigid towing bar. If a rope or cable is used (where the law allows this), the ve- hicle 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 sud
- denly when towing, as this may result in damage being caused to the vehicle.
– When towing a vehicle, it is ad
- visable not to exceed 15 mph (25 km/h).
– Do not push the vehicle if the
steering column is locked.
Towing procedure
Before any towing, check that the steer- ing column is not locked.
If it is locked, insert the RENAULT card into the reader and press the Start/Stop button for five seconds without press- ing on the pedals. The steering column unlocks and the vehicle accessories functions are supplied.
Leave the card in the reader while towing.
Press the Start/Stop button twice in succession once towing is finished (risk of running down the battery).
TOWING: breakdown (2/3)
Do not leave the tools unse- cured inside the vehicle as they may come loose under braking.
When the engine is stopped, steering and braking assist- ance are not operational.
