Towing/Breakdown - Renault Trafic Handbook

TOWING: breakdown
The steering wheel must be un-
locked and the ignition key must be
in position M (ignition on) to provide
brake lights and hazard warning
lights on the towed vehicle. At night
the vehicle must have its lights on.
Unhitch the trailer, etc., if one is
being towed.
You must observe the towing regu-
lations which apply in the country in
which you are driving: do not exceed
the towing weight for your vehicle.
Contact an approved dealer.
Use only
At the rear:
– for vehicles without towing equip-
ment, towing point 1;
– for vehicles with towing equip-
ment, towing hitch 3 (from the tool
kit) and towing point 4.
At the front:
– At the front, towing hitch 3 (from
the tool kit) and towing point 5.
(1/2)
Never use the drive shafts or axles.
These towing points may only be used
for pulling the vehicle, never for lifting it
either directly or indirectly.
– Use 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 sud-
denly when towing, as this may
result in damage being caused to
the vehicle.
– When towing a vehicle, do not
exceed 15 mph (25 km/h).
