TOWING: breakdown
(1/2)
Before towing, unlock the steering
column: with the clutch depressed,
engage
first gear
(lever in position
N
or
R
for vehicles with automatic trans-
missions), insert the RENAULT card in
the card reader then press the engine
start button for
two seconds
.
Reposition the lever to neutral (posi-
tion
N
for vehicles fitted with an auto-
matic gearbox).
The column is unlocked, the acces-
sory functions are supplied: the vehi-
cle lights can be used (indicators, brake
lights etc.). At night the vehicle must
have its lights on.
Once you have finished towing, press
the engine start button twice (risk of
running down the battery).
The speed specified by current legisla-
tion for towing must always be obser-
ved. If your vehicle is the towing vehi-
cle, do not exceed the maximum towing
weight for your vehicle (refer to the in-
formation on “Weights” in Section 6).
Towing a vehicle with an
automatic gearbox
With the engine switched off, the trans-
mission is no longer lubricated. It is pre-
ferable 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 lever in the
N
po-
sition, and for a distance not exceeding
50 miles (80 km).
If the lever is stuck in
P
,
even though you are de-
pressing the brake pedal,
the lever can be released
manually. To do this, insert a rigid
rod in the hole
2
, press the rod and
unlocking button

located on the
lever simultaneously.
