blades.
Replace the wiper blades as soon
as they begin to lose efficiency
(approximately once a year).
Whilst changing the blade, take care
not to drop the arm onto the window

rear screen regularly with soapy
water;
– do not use them when the wind-
screen or rear screen are dry;

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 section
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 vehicle 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
suddenly 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.
W h e n t h e e n g i n e i s
stopped, steering and brak-
ing assistance are not op -
erational.

the ignition switch or the
