run the engine in locations
where combustible
substances or materials such
as grass or leaves can come into
contact with the hot exhaust system.

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).
