Towing - Renault velSatis Driver's Handbook 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 being
caused to the vehicle.
- When towing a vehicle, do not
exceed 15 mph (25 km/h).

Under exceptional circumstances,
you may tow the vehicle with all

going forward, with the gear lever
in Neutral (position N), and for a
distance not exceeding 30 miles
