TOWING: breakdown (continued)
• RENAULT specifies the
use of a rigid towing bar.
If a rope or cable is used
(wher e 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 transmission: special
notes
Engine switched off: The
transmission 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.
In exceptional cases, you can tow
the vehicle with all four wheels on
the ground for a maximum distance
of 30 miles (50 km).
The 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 m anually.
To do this, unclip cover I then
simultaneously press the button
(located under the cover I)and
unlocking button A to move the
lever from position P.
