Battery
Battery: troubleshooting (1/2)
to avoid all risk of sparks:
– Ensure that any electrical consumers
(courtesy lights, etc.) are switched
off before disconnecting or recon -
necting the battery.
– When charging, stop the charger
before connecting or disconnecting
the battery.
– Do not place metal objects on the
battery to avoid creating a short cir-
cuit between the terminals.
– Always wait at least one minute after
the engine has been switched off
before disconnecting a battery.
– Make sure that you reconnect the
battery terminals after refitting.
connecting a battery charger
the battery charger must be com -
patible with a battery with nominal
voltage of 12 volts.
Do not disconnect the battery when the
engine is running. Follow the instruc-
tions given by the manufacturer of
the battery charger you are using.
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.
Handle the battery with care
as it contains sulphuric acid,
which must not come into
contact with eyes or skin. If
it does, wash the affected area with
plenty of cold water. If necessary,
consult a doctor.
Ensure that naked flames, red hot
objects and sparks do not come into
contact with the battery as there is a
risk of explosion.
The engine may be hot when car -
rying out operations in close prox -
imity. In addition, the engine cooling
fan can come on at any moment.
Risk of injury.

Towing
tOwIng : breakdown (1/2)
Before towing, unlock the steering
column: with the clutch depressed,
engage first gear (lever in position n
or r for vehicles with automatic trans -
missions), insert the RENAULT card in
the card reader then press the engine
start button for two seconds.
Reposition the lever to neutral (posi -
tion N for vehicles fitted with an auto -
matic gearbox)

hicle’s accessory functions are pow -
ered, and you can use the vehicle lights
(brake lights, hazard warning lights,
etc.). At night, the vehicle must be lit.
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
