lected on the display, press button  2

Interpreting some of the 
values displayed after 
resetting
The values showing average fuel con-
sumption, range and average speed 
will become more stable and reliable 
the further you travel after pressing the 
reset button.
For the first few miles after pressing 
the reset key you will notice that the 
range increases as you travel. This 
range takes into account the average 
fuel consumption since the last time the 
reset button was pressed. Therefore, 
the average fuel consumption may de-
crease when:
–   the vehicle stops accelerating;
–   the engine reaches its operating 
temperature (if the engine was cold 
when the reset key was pressed);
–   when driving from an urban area 
onto the open road.

TOWING: breakdown (2/2)
Only use the front 3  and rear  6 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 in-
directly.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 towing hitch  4 and the wheel-
brace or the lever located under the 
luggage compartment carpet in the tool 
kit (please refer to the information on 
the “Tool kit” in Section 5).
When the engine is 
stopped, steering and brak-
ing assistance are not op-
erational.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.
