TOWING: breakdown
The steering wheel must be
unlocked and the ignition key must
be in position “M” (ignition on) to
provide stop lights and direction
indicators on the towed car. At
night the vehicle must have its
lights on.
Unhitch the trailer, etc., if one is
being towed.
You must observe the towing
regulations which apply in the
country in which you are driving:
do not exceed the towing weight for
your vehicle. Contact your
RENAULT Dealer.
Use only
At the rear:
- for vehicles without towing
equipment, towing point 1;
- for vehicles with towing
equipment, towing hitch 3
(located in the tool kit) and towing
point 4.
At the front:
- towing hitch 3 (located in the
towing department) and towing
point 5.
Never use the drive shafts or axles.
These towing points may only be
used for towing: never use them for
lifting the vehicle directly or
indirectly.
• 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, do not
exceed 15.53 mph (25 km/h).
Rear towing point 1.
(Vehicle without towing equipment.)
