TOWING: breakdown
(continued)
• 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).
Towing a vehicle with automatic
gearbox: special notes
Engine switched off:
The gearbox is
no longer lubricated. It is preferable
to tow this type of vehicle on a
trailer or tow it with the front
wheels off the ground.
Under exceptional circumstances
,
you may tow the vehicle with all
four wheels on the ground, only
going forward, with the gear shift in
the
Neutral
position, and for a
distance not exceeding 30 miles
(50 km).
When
the
engine
is
stopped,
steering
and
braking assistance are
not operational.
The gear selector lever must be in
neutral (position N).
If the lever becomes jammed in P
position, even though you are
pressing down the brake pedal, the
lever can be released manually.
To do this, unclip cover I then
simultaneously press the button
(located
under
cover
I)
and
unlocking button A to move the
lever from position
P
.
