TOWING (breakdown)
The steering wheel must be
unlocked and the ignition key must
be in position “M” (ignition “on”) to
provide stop lights and direction
indicators on the towed car. The
towed vehicle lights must be
switched on at night.
You must observe the towing
regulations which apply in the
country in which you are driving:
do not exceed the towing weight for
your vehicle. Consult your Renault
Dealer.
Only use the front 2 and rear 3
towing points (never use the
driveshafts). These towing points
may only be used for traction: never
use them for lifting the vehicle
directly or indirectly.
Towing points 1 and 3
Screw the towing hitch 1
in fully, initially by hand
as far as possible then
finish by locking it with
the wheelbrace located in the
tool kit.
• RENAULT recommends
the use of a rigid
towing bar. When
using a rope or cable
(where legislation permits),
the towed vehicle must be able
to brake.
• A vehicle which is no longer
roadworthy must not be
towed.
• It is essential to avoid
hesitation when accelerating
and braking which may
damage the vehicle.
• In all cases, it is recommended
that the maximum speed is
limited to 25 km/h.
