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 into position N, please con-
sult an authorised 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 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.
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).

If the lever is stuck in P , even though
you are depressing the brake pedal, the
lever can be released manually.
To do this, unclip the flap 2, then insert a
tool (with a hard rod to it) into the hole 1
and press the button 3 at the same time
in order to unlock the lever.
Contact an authorised dealer as soon
as possible.

Use the towing hitch 6 only (refer to the
information on “Tools” in Section 5).
TOWING: breakdown (2/2)
Only use the front 5 and rear 7 towing
points (never use the driveshafts or any
other part of the vehicle).
These towing points may only be used
for towing: never use them for lifting the
vehicle directly or indirectly.Access to towing points
Unclip the cover A or B by inserting a
tool 4 or similar under the lower part of
the cover (refer to the information on
“Tools” in Section 5).
Tighten the towing hitch 6 fully: first
by hand until it stops then finish by lock-
ing it with the wheel brace.
When the engine is
stopped, steering and brak-
ing assistance are not op-
erational.
AB44– 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.
Do not leave the tools unse-
cured inside the vehicle as
they may come loose under
braking.

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* 730
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 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.
– When towing, under no circumstances may the total train weight (vehicle + trailer) be exceeded . However the following is
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 100km/h (60 mph) and the tyre pressure 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.
