Operating faultsIf the battery is too weak to ensure cor-
rect operation, you can still start (insert
the RENAULT card in the card reader)
and lock/unlock the vehicle (refer to the

Do not throw away your
used batteries; give them to
an organisation responsible
for collecting and recycling
batteries.

Check the condition of the wiper
blades. You are responsible for their
service life:
– clean the blades, windscreen and
rear screen regularly with soapy
water;
– do not use them when the wind- screen or rear screen are dry;
– free them from the windscreen or rear screen when they have not
been used for a long time.
Before changing the wiper
blade, make sure the stalk
is in the off position (deac-
tivated).

sure that the wiper blades
are not stuck by ice (to
avoid the risk of the motor
overheating).

as they begin to lose efficiency
(approximately once a year).
Whilst changing the blade, take care
not to drop the arm onto the window
after it has been removed as this
may break the window.

TOWING: breakdown recovery (1/2)
Before towing, unlock the steering
column: with the clutch depressed,
engage first gear (lever in position N
or R for vehicles with automatic gear-
boxes), insert the RENAULT card in the
card reader, then press the engine start
button for two seconds.
Reposition the lever to neutral (posi-
tion N for vehicles fitted with an auto-
matic gearbox).
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).
Towing 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.
Under
exceptional circumstances, you
may tow the vehicle with all four wheels
on the ground, only going forward, with
the gear lever in the neutral N position,
and for a distance not exceeding
30 miles (50 km).
Do not remove the
RENAULT card from the
reader when the vehicle is
being towed.

If the lever is stuck in P , even though
you are depressing the brake pedal, the
lever can be released manually. To do
this, release the base of the lever, then
use a tool (rigid rod) in the slot 1 and si-
multaneously press button 2 to unlock
the lever.
Contact an authorised dealer as soon
as possible.

TOWING: breakdown recovery (2/2)
Only use the front 2 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 4 or 6 by sliding a flat tool
(or the key integrated in the RENAULT
card) under the cover.
Tighten towing hitch 3 fully: as much
as possible by hand at first, then finish
tightening it using the wheelbrace or,
depending on the vehicle, the lever.
Only use the towing eye 3 and the
wheelbrace located under the lug-
gage compartment carpet in the tool kit
(please refer to the information under
“Tools” 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.
