TOWING: breakdown
Towing procedure
Before any towing, check that the
steering column is not locked.
If it is 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.
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
a
vehicle with an
automatic transmission: special
features
With the 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 shift in
the Neutral position, and for a
distance not exceeding 30 miles (50
km)
Never remove the RENAULT card
from the reader during towing.
If the lever is stuck in P,
even though you are
pressing 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 the mark on the gaiter and
the unlocking button on the lever
simultaneously.
