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.

much as possible by hand at first, then

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 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.
– 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 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.
W h e n t h e e n g i n e i s
stopped, steering and brak-
ing assistance are not op -
erational.
Do not remove the key from
the ignition switch or the
card from the reader during
towing.
