TOWING: breakdown (1/2)

2
Before towing, unlock the steering
column: with the clutch depressed,
engage first gear (lever in position N
or R for vehicles with automatic gear-
boxes), insert the RENAULT card in the
card reader, then press the engine start
button for two seconds.
Reposition the lever to neutral (position
N for vehicles fitted with an automatic
gearbox).
The column is unlocked, the acces-
sory functions are supplied: the vehi-
cle lights can be used (indicators, 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).
Towing 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.
Under 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
48 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, unclip the base
of the gear lever starting on the side
below air conditioning controls A.
Press button 2 and at the same
time, press the button on lever 1.
Do not remove the
RENAULT card from the
reader when the vehicle is
being towed.

5.33
TOWING: breakdown (2/2)
Only use the front 3 and rear towing
points 5 (never use the driveshafts).
These towing points may only be used
for towing: never use them for lifting the
vehicle directly or indirectly.Access to towing points
Unclip cover 6 or 7 by sliding a flat tool
(or the key integrated in the RENAULT
card) under the cover.
Tighten the tow eye 4 fully: as much
as possible by hand at first, then finish
tightening it using the wheelbrace or,
depending on the vehicle, the lever.
Use only the towing eye 4 and the
wheelbrace located under the boot
carpet with the tools (please refer to the
information under “Tools” in Section 5).
When the engine is
stopped, steering and brak-
ing assistance are not op-
erational.Do not leave the tools unse-
cured inside the vehicle as
they may come loose under
braking.
– Use 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.
– Avoid accelerating or braking suddenly when towing, as this
may result in damage being
caused to the vehicle.
– When towing a vehicle, it is ad- visable not to exceed 30 mph
(50 km/h).
– Do not push the vehicle if the steering column is locked.

WEIGHTS (in kg)
The weights indicated are for a basic vehicle without options: they may \
vary depending on your vehicle’s equipment.
Consult an approved Dealer.
Maximum Permissible All-Up Weight (MMAC)
Gross Train 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* 695
Permissible nose weight* 75
Permissible load on the roof with the carrying device 80 kg (including the carrying device)
* Towing weight (towing a caravan, boat, etc.)
Towing is prohibited when the MTR - MMAC calculation is equal to zero, or\
when the GTW is equal to zero (or is not listed) on t he
identification plate.
– 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. 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:
– the Maximum permissible weight at the rear may be exceeded by no more th\
an 15%,
– the maximum permissible all-up weight may be exceeded by no more than 10\
% or 100 kg (whichever occurs first).
In either case, the maximum speed of the vehicle and trailer must not ex\
ceed 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.
Weight transfer
If the Maximum Authorised Mass of the vehicle has not been reached, up to 200 kg can be\
transferred to the braked trailer, with in
the limits of the Gross Train Weight.
