TOOLS (1/2)
Do not leave the tools un-
secured inside the vehicle
as they may come loose
under braking. After use,
check that all the tools are correctly
clipped into the tool kit, then posi-
tion it correctly in its housing: risk of
injury.
If wheel bolts are supplied in the tool
kit, you must use these bolts, and
only these, for the emergency spare
wheel: refer to the label affixed to
the emergency spare wheel.
The jack is designed for wheel
changing purposes only. Under no
circumstances should it be used for
carrying out repairs underneath the
vehicle or to gain access to the un-
derside of the vehicle.
The presence of the tools depends on
the vehicle.
Jack 1
Fold it correctly before refitting it in its
housing (ensure that the wheelbrace is
correctly positioned 2).
Hubcap tool 3
This tool is used to remove the wheel
trims.
Screw guide 4

vehicles fitted with alloy wheels

Refer to the information on “Towing” in
Section 5.

TOWING: breakdown (1/2)
Before towing, put the gearbox in neu-
tral, unlock the steering column and re-
lease the parking brake.
For vehicles fitted with an automatic
gearbox, if it is not possible to put the
gear lever in position N, please consult
an approved dealer.
Steering column unlocking
Insert the key into the ignition or, de-
pending on the vehicle, with the
RENAULT card on you, press the
engine start button for approximately
2 seconds.
Reposition the lever to neutral (posi-
tion N for vehicles fitted with an auto-
matic gearbox).
The steering column unlocks, the ac-
cessory functions are powered: you
can use the vehicle’s lights (direction
indicators, brake lights, etc.). At night
the vehicle must have its lights on.
Depending on the vehicle, 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
Transport the vehicle on a trailer or tow
it with the front wheels off the ground.
In exceptional circumstances
, you
may tow it with all four wheels on the
ground, only in a forward gear, with the
gear in neutral position N over a maxi-
mum distance of 50 miles and not ex-
ceeding a speed of 15 mph (25 km/h).
When activated, in the event that the
lever is stuck in P , depress the brake
paddle. It is possible to free the lever
manually. To do this, unclip the base of
the lever, then insert a tool (rigid rod)
into the slot 2 (located on the left or
right of the lever depending on the ve-
hicle) and press simultaneously on the
button 1 to unlock the lever.
Contact an authorised dealer as soon
as possible.

TOWING : breakdown (2/2)
Only use the front 3 and rear 7 towing
points (never use the driveshafts or any
other part of the vehicle). These towing
points may only be used for pulling.
They must never be used for lifting the
vehicle directly or indirectly.Access to towing points
Front towing point
Press zone A and keep depressed
while pulling zone B to open flap 4.
Rear towing point
Press zone C and keep depressed
while pulling zone D to open flap 6.
Tighten the towing hitch 5 fully: first
by hand until it stops then finish by lock-
ing it with the wheel brace.
Do not leave the tools unse-
cured inside the vehicle as
they may come loose under
braking.
Use the towing hitch 5 only (refer to the
information on “Tools” in Section 5).

– 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.
– In all cases, it is advisable not to exceed 15.5 mph (25 km/h).
When the engine is
stopped, steering and brak-
ing assistance are not op-
erational.

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)
Maximum permissible all-up weight (MMTA)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* 750
Permissible nose weight* 75
Permissible load on the roof with the carrying device 80 (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 MTR 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.
– For vehicles fitted with a trailer, the total train weight (vehicle + trailer) must never be exceeded. However, for vehicles with
a long chassis, the following conditions are permitted:
– rear axle MMTA exceeded by no more than 15%,
– maximum MMAC exceeded by no more than 10% or 100 kg (whichever is reach\
ed 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. You need to reduce the total train weight by 10% at an a l-
titude of 1,000 metres and by an additional 10% for each 1,000 metres th\
ereafter.
Weight transfer
If the Maximum Authorised Mass of the vehicle has not been reached, up to 350 kg can be\
transferred to the braked trailer, with in
the limits of the Gross Train Weight.
