Towing a vehicle with an
automatic gearbox
With the engine switched off: the transmission is no longer lubricated. It is preferable to tow this type of vehi- cle on a trailer or tow it with the front wheels off the ground.
Under exceptional circumstances, you may tow the vehicle with all four wheels on the ground, only going forward, with the gear lever in the Neutral position, and for a distance not exceeding 30 miles (50 km).
If the lever is stuck in P, even though you are de- pressing the brake pedal, the lever can be released manually.
To do this, unclip the upper sec-
tion of the cover at the base of the lever.
Press simultaneously on the mark on the gaiter and the unlocking button on the lever.
– Use a rigid towing bar. If a rope or cable is used (where the law allows this), the ve- hicle being towed must be able to brake.
– A vehicle must not be towed if it is
not fit to be driven.
– Avoid accelerating or braking sud
- denly when towing, as this may result in damage being caused to the vehicle.
– When towing a vehicle, it is ad
- visable not to exceed 15 mph (25 km/h).
– Do not push the vehicle if the
steering column is locked.
Towing procedure
Before any towing, check that the steer- ing column is not locked.
If it is locked, insert the RENAULT card into the reader and press the Start/Stop button for five seconds without press- ing on the pedals. The steering column unlocks and the vehicle accessories functions are supplied.
Leave the card in the reader while towing.
Press the Start/Stop button twice in succession once towing is finished (risk of running down the battery).
TOWING: breakdown (2/3)
Do not leave the tools unse- cured inside the vehicle as they may come loose under braking.
When the engine is stopped, steering and braking assist- ance are not operational.

Towing a vehicle with a
Quickshift gearbox
If a gear is engaged:
– with the ignition on, select neutral
while depressing the brake pedal;
– check that neutral is engaged (e.g.
by pushing the vehicle);
– switch off the ignition.
The vehicle should always be towed with the ignition switched off.
If you cannot engage neutral, the vehi- cle must be towed with its front wheels off the ground.

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. Contact an approved Dealer for any modifications to tow\
ing equipment.
– When towing, under no circumstances may
the total train weight (vehicle + trailer) be exceeded. However the following is permitted:
– the Maximum permissible weight at the rear may be exceeded by no more th\
an 15%,
– the maximum permissible all-up weight may be exceeded by no more than 10\
% or 100 kg (whichever occurs first).
In either case, the maximum speed of the towing assembly must not exceed 60 mph (100 km/h) and the tyre pressure must be increased by 0.2 bar (3 PSI). In all cases, comply with local legislat\
ion.
– The engine output and climbing capability are reduced with altitude. We recommend that the maximum load be reduced by
10% at an altitude of 1,000 metres and by an additional 10% for each 1,0\
00 metres thereafter.
