ADVICE ON ANTIPOLLUTION AND HOW TO ECONOMISE ON FUEL WHEN DRIVING(continued)
General hints
•Electricity is “fuel”; switch off all
the electrical units which are not
really needed.
However,(with safety always in
mind), keep your lights on when
the visibility is bad (see and be
seen).
• Try to use the air vents. Driving at
a speed of 60 mph (100 km/h)
with the windows open will
increase the use of fuel by 4%.•For vehicles fitted with air
conditioning,morefuelmaybe
used during urban driving; switch
off the system when it is not really
needed.
• Never fill the fuel tank up to the
brim to avoid it overflowing.
• Do not leave an empty roof rack in
position.
• Use a trailer for carrying bulky
objects.
• When towing a caravan, fit a wind
deflector and adjust it properly.
• Avoid using the car for door to
door calls (short journeys with
long stops in between), as the
engine never reaches its ideal
temperature. Try to group your
calls.
Tyres
•Inflation pressures which are too
low may increase fuel
consumption.
• The use of non-recommended
tyres may also increase fuel
consumption.

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.

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.
