TOWING: breakdown (2/2)
Only use the front 3 and rear 6 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 in-
directly.
Access to towing points
Unclip cover 5 or 7 by sliding a flat tool
(or the key integrated in the RENAULT
card) under the cover.
Tighten the tow eye 4 fully: as much
as possible by hand at first, then finish
tightening it using the wheelbrace or,
depending on the vehicle, the lever.
Use only towing hitch 4 and the wheel-
brace or the lever located under the
luggage compartment carpet in the tool
kit (please refer to the information on
the “Tool kit” 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.
