BATTERY: troubleshooting (continued)
Connecting a battery charger
The battery charger should be
compatible with a battery with a
nominal voltage of 12 Volts.
With the engine switched off, it is
essential to disconnect the cables
connected to both battery terminals,
starting with the negative terminal .
Do not disconnect the battery when
the engine is running. Follow the
manufacturer’s instructions for 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 the vehicle’s engine normally.
The battery must be kept clean and
dry.
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 external temperature
drops (in winter), the charge
decreases . In winter, only use
electrical equipment which 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 + after ignition feed . In this case,
it is advisable to have your vehicle
fitted with a battery which has an
increased capacity. Contact your
RENAULT Dealer. If your vehicle is to be left stationary
for a relatively long time, disconnect
the battery or have it recharged
regularly, in particular during cold
weather. The equipment with a
memory, radio etc. will then have to
be reprogrammed. The battery must
be stored in a cool dry place,
protected from frost.
Special procedures may
be required to charge
some batteries. Contact
your RENAULT Dealer.
Avoid all risk of sparks which
may cause an immediate
explosion and charge the battery
in a well-ventilated area. Risk of
serious injury.

TOWING: breakdown
Press the Start/Stop button twice in
succession once towing is finished
(risk of running down the battery).
Furthermore, it is essential to
respect the towing regulations
defined in the legislation of the
country concerned and, if your
vehicle is the towing vehicle, do not
exceed the towing weight of your
vehicle. Contact your RENAULT
Dealer.Towing procedure
Before any towing, check that the
steering column is not locked.
If it is not locked, insert the
RENAULT card into the reader and
press the start/stop button for five
seconds without pressing on the
pedals. The steering column
unlocks, the vehicle accessory
functions are supplied with power
and you can use the lights (stop
lights, directional indicator lights,
etc.): the vehicle must have its lights
on at night.
Do not remove the RENAULT card
from the reader at any point when
the vehicle is being towed.
Towing a vehicle with
automatic transmission: special
information
Engine switched off: The gearbox 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.
Under exceptional circumstances ,
you may tow the vehicle with all
four wheels on the ground, only
going forward, with the gear lever in
the N position, and for a distance
not exceeding 30 miles (50 km).
If the lever is stuck at P,
even though you are
depressing 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.

TOWING: breakdown (continued)
Only use the front 1and rear 4
towing points (never use the drive
shafts). These towing points may
only be used for towing: never use
them for lifting the vehicle directly
or indirectly.Access to towing rings
Unclip cover 2or 5.
Screw in towing hitch 3fully, as
much as possible by hand at first,
then finish by tightening it using the
wheelbrace.
Towing hitch 3and the wheelbrace
are located under the luggage
compartment carpet in the tool kit
(see Tool kit in section 5).
When the engine is
stopped, steering and
braking assistance are not
operational. - 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, do not exceed 15 mph (25 km/h).

(1) Towing weight(Towing a caravan, boat, etc.)
- It is important to comply with the towing weights, governed by local leg\
islation in each country and, in particular laid down in the Road Traffic Regulations. Consult your RENAULT Dealer about any attachments. Under no circumstances
may the gross train weight (= maximum permissible all-up weight plus we\
ight towed) be exceeded.
- If your vehicle is already at full load (maximum permissible all-up wei\
ght), the maximum speed must be limited to 60 mph (100 km/h) and the tyre pressures 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 metres thereafter.
