* Towing weight (towing a caravan, boat, etc.).
- It is important to comply with the towing weights, governed by local legislation in each country and, in particular laid down in the Road
Traffic Regulations. Consult your Renault Dealer about any attachments.Under no circumstances may the total train weight (= max.
permissible all-up weight and weight towed) be exceeded.
- If your vehicle is already used at full load (max. permissible all-up weight), the maximum speed must be limited to 60 mph (100 km/h)
and the tyre inflation pressure increased by 0.2 bar.
- The engine output and climbing capability are reduced with altitude. We recommend that the maximum load be reduced by 10% at an
altitude of 1000 metres and by an additional 10% for each 1000 metres thereafter.
