TOWING: breakdown
- RENAULT specifies the
use of 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.
- Do not accelerate
suddenly when towing, as this
may result in damage to the
vehicle.
- When towing a vehicle, it is
advisable not to exceed 15 mph
(25 km/h).
