A
Always position the heavi -
est items directly on the
floor. Use the lashing points
on the floor of the luggage
compartment, if these are fitted to
the vehicle. The luggage should be
loaded in such a way that no items
will be thrown forward and strike the
occupants if the driver has to brake
suddenly. Fasten the rear seat belts,
even if the seats are not occupied.
c
Always place the objects to be trans -
ported so that their largest side rests
against the back of the rear bench
seat, for normal loads, or against the
back of the front seats when the rear
bench seatbacks are folded down
(Example A).
If you have to place objects on the
folded seat back, it is vital that you
remove the headrests before folding
the seat back so that it can be folded as
flat as possible against the seat. Four-door version
C = 1,085 mm
Five-door version C = 867 mm

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.
