indicator lights, etc): the vehicle

Never remove the RENAULT card
from the reader when the vehicle
is being towed.

Press the Start/Stop button twice
in succession once towing is
finished (risk of running down the

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.
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 simultaneously on the
mark on the gaiter and the
unlocking button on the lever.
