TOWING breakdown,(continued)
• Renault recommends
using 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
exceed15 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 coverJ.Presson
both the raised part (under coverJ)
and the unlocking buttonAat the
same time to move the lever from
positionP.

ACCESSORIES
Using mobile phones and
CB equipment.
Mobile phone equipment
with integrated aerials may
cause interference to the original
electronic systems fitted to the
vehicle: we recommend that you
only use equipment with an
exterior aerial.
Furthermore, we remind you of
the need to conform to the
legislation in force concerning the
use of such equipment.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.
After-sales installation of electric
or electronic accessories
•Any work on the electric 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.
