Towing (Breakdown - Trailer) - Renault Clio 2003 Owner's Manual

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 or brake
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).
