TOWING: breakdown (2/2)
Only use the front 3 and rear 6
towing points.
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 5 or 7 by sliding a flat tool
(or the key integrated in the RENAULT
card) under the cover.
Tighten the tow eye 4 fully: as much
as possible by hand at first, then finish
tightening it using the wheelbrace or,
depending on the vehicle, the lever.
Use only the tow eye 4 and the whee-
lbrace or the lever located under the
boot carpet in the tool kit (please refer
to the information under “Tools” in
Section 5).
When the engine is stop-
ped, steering and braking
assistance are not opera-
tional.Do not leave the tools unse-
cured inside the vehicle as
they may come loose under
braking.
– 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 30 mph
(50 km/h).
– Do not push the vehicle if the steering column is locked.

The weights indicated for a basic vehicle without options: they vary dep\
ending on the your vehicle’s equipment. Consult
your approved Dealer.
Maximum permissible all-up weight (MMAC)
Total train weight (MTR)Weights are indicated on the vehicle identification plate (refer to
the information on “Vehicle identification plates” in Section 6)
Braked Trailer Weight* found by calculating: MTR - MMAC
Unbraked Trailer Weight* 750
Permissible nose weight* 50
Maximum permissible load on roof Prohibited
Maximum permissible load on the tailgate
* Towing weight (towing a caravan, boat, etc.)
Towing is prohibited when the GTW - MAM calculation is equal to zero, or \
when the GTW is equal to zero (or is not listed) on th e
identification plate.
– It is important to comply with the towing weights, governed by local leg\
islation 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:
– 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 vehicle and trailer must not ex\
ceed 60 mph (100 km/h) 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 m\
etres thereafter.
