Towing
tOWInG : breakdown
Before  towing,  unlock  the  steering 
column:  with  the  clutch  depressed, 
engage first  gear   (lever  in  position  n 
or  r  for  vehicles  with  automatic  trans -
missions),  insert  the  RENAULT  card  in 
the  card  reader  then  press  the  engine 
start button for two seconds.
The  column  is  unlocked,  the  acces -
sory  functions  are  supplied:  the  vehi -
cle lights can be used (indicators, 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 
30 miles (50 km).
D o   n o t   r e m o v e   t h e 
RENAULT  card  from  the 
reader  when  the  vehicle  is 
being towed.
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 1, press the rod and 
unlocking button located on the gear 
lever knob simultaneously.

tOWInG : breakdown (continued)
Only  use  the  front  3  and  rear  5 
towing  points   (never  use  the  drive -
shafts or any other part of the vehicle). 
These  towing  points  may  only  be  used 
for towing: never use them for lifting the 
vehicle directly or indirectly.

Access to towing points
Unclip cover  2 or 6 by sliding a flat tool 
(or the key integrated in the RENAULT 
card) under the cover.
Screw in towing hitch  4 fully: as much 
as  possible  by  hand  at  first,  then  finish 
by tightening it using the wheelbrace.
Use only towing hitch  4 and the wheel-
brace  located  under  the  luggage  com -
partment  carpet  in  the  tool  kit  (refer 
to  the  information  on  the  “Tool  kit”  in 
Section 5).
–  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 leave the tools unse-
cured  inside  the  vehicle  as 
they may come loose under 
braking.
After  use,  check  that  all  the  tools 
are correctly clipped into the tool kit, 
then, depending on the vehicle, po-
sition it correctly in its housing.

Weights
Towing weights
Weights  (in kg)
the weights indicated for a basic vehicle without options: they vary depending on the your vehicle’s equipment.  consult 
your approved dealer.
maximum permissible all-up weight (mmac)
gross t rain Weight (mtR) Weights are indicated on the vehicle identification plate (refer to 
the information on “Vehicle identification plates” in Section 6)
Braked t railer Weight* found by calculating:mtR - mmac
Unbraked t railer Weight* 650
permissible nose weight* 75
permissible load on the roof with the carrying device 80 kg (including the carrying device)
* t owing weight (towing a caravan, boat, etc.)
Towing is prohibited when the MTR - MMAC calculation is equal to zero, or when the MTR is equal to zero (or is not listed) on the 
identification plate.
–  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 your approved dealer about any towing equipment.
–  When towing, under no circumstances may  the total train weight (vehicle + trailer) be exceeded . However the following is 
permitted:
–  rear axle MMTA exceeded by no more than 15%,
–  maximum MMAC exceeded by no more than 10% or 100 kg (whichever is reached first).
  In either case, the maximum speed of the vehicle and trailer must not exceed 60 mph (100 kph) and the tyre pressures must 
be increased by 0.2 bar (3 PSI).
–  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 1,000 metres thereafter .
Weight transfer
The towing load must not exceed 1,500 kg.
If the Maximum Authorised Mass of the vehicle has not been reached, up to 200 kg can be transferred to the braked trailer, within 
the limits of the Gross Train Weight.
