Towing Four-Wheel Drive (4WD) models
RENAULT recommends that your vehicle be towed
with all wheels off the ground as illustrated or place
the vehicle on aflatbed truck.
CAUTION
Never tow 4WD models with any of the wheels on
the ground. Doing so will cause serious and ex-
pensive damage to the drivetrain. Freeing trapped vehicle WARNING
• Never allow anyone to stand near the towing
line during the pulling operation.
• Never spin the tyres at high speed. This could
cause them to explode and result in serious
injury. Parts of the vehicle could also overheat
and be damaged.
In the event that your vehicle’s tyres become trapped
in sand, snow, or mud, and the vehicle is unable to
free itself without being pulled, use the towing eye.
• Use the towing eye only. Do not attach the pull-
ing device to any other part of the vehicle body.
Otherwise, the vehicle body may be damaged.
• Use the towing eye to free
avehicle only. Never
tow avehicle using only the towing eye. NCE481
