Furthermore, we remind you of
the need to comply with the legis-

Fire hazard.
– No work may be carried out on
the vehicle’s electrical or radio
circuits, except by approved
Dealers: an incorrectly con -
nected system may result in
damage being caused to the
electrical equipment and/or the
components connected to it;
– if the vehicle is fitted with any
aftermarket electrical equip -
ment, make sure that the unit
is correctly protected by a fuse.
Establish the rating and position
of this fuse.
Before fitting an electrical or
electronic device (particu -
larly for transmitters/receiv-

power level, position of the aerial
etc.), ensure that it is compatible
with your vehicle.
Contact an approved dealer for this
information.
Fitting after-market

If you wish to install acces-
sories on the vehicle: con -
sult an approved dealer.
Also, to ensure the correct opera -
tion of your vehicle, and to avoid
any risk to your safety, we recom -
mend that you use only specific ac-
cessories, designed for your vehi -
cle, which are the only accessories
for which the manufacturer will pro-
vide a warranty.
If you are using an anti-theft
device, only attach it to the
brake pedal.

Towing
tOwIng : breakdown (1/2)
Before towing, insert the key in the
switch or the RENAULT card in the
reader to unlock the steering column:
depress the clutch pedal, select first
gear (lever in position n or r for vehi-
cles with an automatic gearbox).
Reposition the lever to neutral (posi -
tion N for vehicles fitted with an auto -
matic transmission)
The steering column is unlocked, power
is supplied to the accessory functions:
the vehicle lights can be used (hazard
warning lights, 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).
t owing 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.
u nder exceptional circumstances,
you may tow the vehicle with all four
wheels on the ground, only going for -
ward, with the gear lever in the n posi-
tion, and for a distance not exceeding
50 miles (80 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, insert a rigid
rod in the hole 2, press the rod and
unlocking button 1 located on the
lever simultaneously.

suddenly when towing, as this
may result in damage being
caused to the vehicle.

Weights
Towing weights
Weights (in kg)
the weights indicated for a basic vehicle without options: they vary depending on the your vehicle’s equipment. consult
your approved dealer.
maximum permissible all-up weight (mmac)
gross t rain 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* 650
permissible nose weight* 75
permissible load on the roof with the carrying device 80 kg (including the carrying device)
* t owing 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 legislation 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 reached first).
In either case, the maximum speed of the vehicle and trailer must not exceed 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 1,000 m\
etres thereafter.
