From the luggage compartment, tighten
the bolt fully in order to wind the retain-
ing cable, ensuring that the wheel re-
mains horizontal and the cable taut.
As the punctured wheel is wider than the emergency spare wheel, when
you place the punctured wheel in the emergency spare wheel bay, the
vehicle’s ground clearance is reduced. To prevent damage, proceed ca-
refully when driving over raised sections of road and when dismounting
pavements When this is fitted to the vehicle, which must only be a tempo\
rary
measure, the driving speed must not exceed the speed indicated on the la\
bel
on the wheel. Replace the emergency spare wheel as soon as possible with\
a
wheel with the same dimensions as the original.

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).

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.

may result in damage being
caused to the vehicle.
