TOWING: breakdown (2/2)
Only use the front 4 and rear 5
towing points.
These towing points may only be used
for towing: never use them for lifting the
vehicle directly or indirectly.
Access to towing points
Unclip the cover 3 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 wheel-
brace.
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 brak-
ing assistance are not op-
erational.
Do not leave the tools unse-
cured inside the vehicle as
they may come loose under
braking.
After use, check that all the tools
are correctly clipped into the tool kit,
then, depending on the vehicle, po-
sition it correctly in its housing.
Risk of injury.

– Use 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.
– Avoid accelerating or braking
suddenly when towing, as this
may result in damage being
caused to the vehicle.
– When towing a vehicle, it is ad-
visable not to exceed 30 mph
(50 km/h).
