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
information on "Locking/unlocking the
doors" in Section 1).
RENAULT CARD: battery
Replacing the batteryWhen the message “Keycard battery
low” appears on the instrument panel,
replace the RENAULT card battery,
press the button 1 while pulling on
the emergency key 2 , then unclip the
cover 3 using the tab 4.
Remove the battery by pressing on one
side (movement A) and by lifting the
other (movement B) then replace it, en-
suring the polarity and model, shown
on cover 3 are respected.
Do not throw away your
used batteries; give them to
an organisation responsible
for collecting and recycling
batteries.

The batteries are available from approved Dealers, and their service lif\
e approxi-
mately two years. Check that there is no dye on the battery: risk of an \
incorrect
electrical contact.

Check that the cover is clipped shut.

5.19
Choice of breakdown service
In the event of an energy fault
In the event of a fully discharged trac-
tion battery, any type of towing is per-
mitted: towing on a flatbed truck or
towing on the road using the tow eye
(please see following pages). It is es-
sential to wait approximately 5 minutes
after locking the doors to start towing.
All other cases
Only towing on a flatbed truck is per-
mitted.
TOWING, BREAKDOWN (1/3)
Before any recovery, unlock the stee-
ring column: with the clutch pressed,
engage the lever in position N, insert
the card in the reader then press the
engine starting button for approxima-
tely two seconds.
The regulations in force for breakdown
recovery must always be observed.Towing on a flatbed truck
Breakdown recovery must be perfor-
med on a flat surface under all circums-
tances except where the vehicle is im-
mobilised following a full discharge of
the traction battery. In the event of a
total energy loss, please see the fol-
lowing pages.

5.20
Once you have finished towing, press
the engine start button twice (risk of
running down the 12 V battery).
If the lever is stuck in P, even though
you are depressing the brake pedal, the
lever can be released manually.
To do this, unclip the cover at the base
of the lever.
Simultaneously press at the location 7
and the unlocking button 6 on the lever.
