TOWING: breakdown (2/2)
Only use the front 3 and rear towing
points 5 (never use the driveshafts).
These towing points may only be used
for towing: never use them for lifting the
vehicle directly or indirectly.
Access to towing points
Unclip cover 4 or 6 by sliding a flat
tool (or the key integrated with the
RENAULT card) under the cover.
Screw in towing hitch 7 fully: as much
as possible by hand at first, then finish
by tightening it using the wheelbrace.
Use only towing hitch 7 and the wheel-
brace located under the luggage com-
partment carpet in the tool kit (refer
to the information on the Tool kit in
Section 5).
When the engine is stopped,
steering and braking assist-
ance are not operational.
Do not leave the tools unse-
cured inside the vehicle as
they may come loose under
braking.
Use a rigid towing bar. If a
rope or cable is used (where
the law allows this), the ve-
hicle being towed must be
able to brake.
A vehicle must not be towed if it is
not fit to be driven.
Avoid accelerating or braking sud-
denly when towing, as this may
result in damage being caused to
the vehicle.
When towing a vehicle, it is ad-
visable not to exceed 3
0 mph
(50 km/h).
