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.
