– do not use them when the wind-

screen or rear screen are dry;

– free them from the windscreen or

rear screen when they have not

been used for a long time.

– In frosty weather, make

sure that the wiper blades

are not stuck by ice (to

avoid the risk of the motor

overheating).

– Check the condition of the wiper

blades.

Replace the wiper blades as soon

as they begin to lose efficiency

(approximately once a year).

Whilst changing the blade, take care

not to drop the arm onto the window

after it has been removed as this

may break the window.

Towing

tOwIng: breakdown

(1/2)

Before towing, unlock the steering

column: with the clutch depressed,

engage

first gear (lever in position n

or

r for vehicles with automatic trans-

missions), insert the RENAULT card in

the card reader then press the engine

start button for

two seconds.

Reposition the lever to neutral (posi-

tion N for vehicles fitted with an auto-

matic gearbox)
The steering column unlocks, the ve-

hicle’s accessory functions are pow-

ered, and you can use the vehicle lights

(brake lights, hazard warning lights,

etc.). At night, the vehicle must be lit.
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

With the engine switched off, the trans-

mission is no longer lubricated. It is

preferable to tow this type of vehicle on

a trailer or tow it with the front wheels

off the ground.
under exceptional circumstances,

you may tow the vehicle with all four

wheels on the ground, only going for-

ward, with the gear lever in the

n posi-

tion, and for a distance not exceeding

50 miles (80 km).

If the lever is stuck in

P,

even though you are de-

pressing the brake pedal,

the lever can be released

manually. To do this, insert a rigid

rod in the hole 2, press the rod and

unlocking button 1 located on the

lever simultaneously.

Do not remove the

RENAULT card from the

tOwIng: breakdown

(2/2)

Only use:

– at the rear, towing point 5;
– at the front, towing hitch 4 (lo-

cated in the tool kit).

These towing points may only be used

for pulling the vehicle, never for lifting it

either directly or indirectly.

access to towing points

Unclip cover 3 or 6 by sliding a flat tool

(or the key integrated in the RENAULT

card) under the cover.
screw in towing hitch 7 fully: as

much as possible by hand at first, then

finish by tightening it using the wheel-

brace.
Use only towing hitch 7 and the wheel-

brace located under the luggage com-

partment carpet in the tool kit (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).
