Brake fluid level
The level should be read with the engine
switched off and on level ground. This
should be checked frequently, and im -
mediately if you notice even the slight-
est loss in braking efficiency. level 2
It is normal for the level to drop as
the linings become worn, but it should
never drop below the
Min line.
If you wish to check the disc and drum
wear yourself, you should obtain the
document explaining the checking pro-
cedure from our network or from the
manufacturer’s website. t
opping up
After any operation on the hydraulic cir-
cuit, a specialist must replace the fluid.
Only use fluids approved by our
Technical Department (and taken from
a sealed container).

Towing
tOwIng : breakdown (1/2)
Before towing, insert the key in the
switch or the RENAULT card in the
reader to unlock the steering column:
depress the clutch pedal, select first
gear (lever in position n or r for vehi-
cles with an automatic gearbox).
Reposition the lever to neutral (posi -
tion N for vehicles fitted with an auto -
matic transmission)
The steering column is unlocked, power
is supplied to the accessory functions:
the vehicle lights can be used (hazard
warning lights, brake lights etc.). At
night the vehicle must have its lights on.
Once you have finished towing, press
the engine start button twice (risk of
running down the battery). The speed specified by current legis
-
lation for towing must always be ob -
served. If your vehicle is the towing
vehicle, do not exceed the maximum
towing weight for your vehicle (refer
to the information on “Weights” in
Section 6).
t owing a vehicle with an
automatic gearbox
With the engine switched off, the trans-
mission 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.
u nder exceptional circumstances,
you may tow the vehicle with all four
wheels on the ground, only going for -
ward, with the gear lever in the n posi-
tion, and for a distance not exceeding
50 miles (80 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, insert a rigid
rod in the hole 2, press the rod and
unlocking button 1 located on the
lever simultaneously.
