TOWING: breakdown

Towing procedure

Before any towing, check that the steer-
ing 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 press-
ing on the pedals. The steering column
unlocks, the vehicle's accessory func-
tions are powered, and you can use the
signalling lights (brake lights, direction
indicator light etc.): at night, the vehicle
must be lit.
Do not remove the RENAULT card
from the reader at any point when
the vehicle is being towed.

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 vehi-
cle, do not exceed the towing weight of
your vehicle. Contact your RENAULT
Dealer.
Towing a vehicle with an
automatic gearbox
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 lever in the
Neutral position, and for a distance
not exceeding 30 miles (50 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 upper sec-
tion of the cover at the base of the
lever.
Press simultaneously on the mark
on the gaiter and the unlocking
button on the lever.
