TOWING: breakdown recovery (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 automa-
tic gearbox, if it is not possible to put
the gear lever into position N, please
consult an authorised dealer.
Steering column unlocking
Insert the key into the ignition or, de-
pending on the vehicle, having 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
maximum distance of 50 miles (80 km)
and not exceeding a speed of 16 mph
(25 km/h).

Do not remove the key from
the ignition when the vehi-
cle 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, insert a tool (with a hard rod to it)
into the slot 1 and press the button 2 at
the same time to unlock the lever.
Contact an authorised dealer as soon
as possible.
