TOWING: breakdown (1/2)
Before towing, put the gearbox in neu-
tral, unlock the steering column and re-
lease the parking brake.
For vehicles fitted with an automatic 
gearbox, if it is not possible to put the 
gear lever in position N, please consult 
an approved dealer.
Steering column unlocking
Insert the key into the ignition or, de-
pending on the vehicle, with the 
RENAULT card on you, press the 
engine start button for approximately 
2 seconds.
Reposition the lever to neutral (posi-
tion  N for vehicles fitted with an auto-
matic gearbox).
The steering column unlocks, the ac-
cessory functions are powered: you 
can use the vehicle’s lights (direction 
indicators, brake lights, etc.). At night 
the vehicle must have its lights on.
Depending on the vehicle, 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
Transport the vehicle on a trailer or tow 
it with the front wheels off the ground.
In exceptional circumstances
, you 
may tow it with all four wheels on the 
ground, only in a forward gear, with the 
gear in neutral position  N over a maxi-
mum distance of 50 miles and not ex-
ceeding a speed of 15 mph (25 km/h).
When activated, in the event that the 
lever is stuck in P , depress the brake 
paddle. It is possible to free the lever 
manually. To do this, unclip the base of 
the lever, then insert a tool (rigid rod) 
into the slot 2  (located on the left or 
right of the lever depending on the ve-
hicle) and press simultaneously on the 
button 1 to unlock the lever.
Contact an authorised dealer as soon 
as possible.
