Tyre safety and use of chains
Refer to the paragraph “Tyres” in section 5 for information on maintenance and, depending on the version, the conditions
under which chains may be fitted to the vehicle.
Special points relating to the 2.0 litre
16Vversion
This vehicle is equipped with wheels which cannot be fitted with chains. If you wish to fit chains, it is essential to use
specific equipment.Consult your Renault Dealer.
(1)Special note concerning vehicles used at full load(maximum permissible all-up weight and weight towed)and towing
a vehicle:
The maximum speed must be limited to 60 mph (100 km/h) and the tyre inflation pressure increased by0.2 bar.
Refer to the information on “weights” in section 6 for more details.

TOWING breakdown,(continued)
• 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 being
caused 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 manually. To
do this, unclip coverI. Press on both
the raised part (under coverI)and
the unlocking buttonAat the same
time to move the lever from
positionP.

ACCESSORIES
Using mobile phones and
CB equipment
Mobile phones and CB
equipment with integrated
aerials may cause interference to
the original electronic systems
fitted to the vehicle: it is advisable
only to use equipment with an
external aerial.
Also, for your own safety, we
would advise you always to take
account of traffic conditions and
not to use this type of equipment
when you are driving.After-sales installation of
electric or electronic
accessories
•Anyworkontheelectric
circuit of the vehicle must be
carried out by Renault network
engineers: if the system is
connected incorrectly, it may
result in damage being caused to
the electrical installation and/or
the units connected to it.
• If the vehicle is retrofitted with
any electrical equipment, make
sure that the unit is correctly
protected by a fuse. Ask for
information on the rating and
position of this fuse.
After-sales installation of
non-electrical accessories (roof
bars, towing attachments, etc.)
Accessories approved by Renault
are based on a strict specification
and are regularly tested. We would
recommend that you use approved
accessories (particularly where
these affect safety) because they are
particularly reliable and
appropriate for your vehicle.

WEIGHTS(continued)
(1)Towed weight
(Towing a caravan, boat, etc.)
- It is important that the towing weights in each country governed by local legislation are respected. Consult your Renault
Dealer for all towing attachments.In all cases, never exceed the maximum permissible total train weight (vehicle +
trailer).
- If your vehicle is already being used fully laden (maximum permitted all up weight); your maximum speed must be
limited to 60 mph (100 km/h) and the tyre inflation pressures should be increased by 0.2 bar.
- Engine output and performance on hills are reduced with altitude. We recommend that you reduce the maximum load by
10% at an altitude of 1000 metres, then by an additional 10% for each 1000 metres thereafter.
