ACCESSORIES

Electrical and electronic accessories

Before installing this type of accessory (particularly for transmitters/receivers: frequency bandwidth, power level, po-

sition of the aerial, etc.), make sure it is compatible with your vehicle. You can get advice from an authorised dealer.

Connect accessories with a maximum power of 120 Watts only. Fire hazard. When several accessory sockets are

used at the same time, the total power of the connected accessories must not exceed 180 watts.

No work may be carried out on the vehicle’s electrical or radio circuits, except by authorised dealers: an incorrectly connected

system may result in damage being caused to the electrical equipment and/or the components connected to it.

If the vehicle is fitted with any aftermarket electrical equipment, make sure that the installation is correctly protected by a fuse.

Establish the rating and position of this fuse.

Using the diagnostic socket

The use of electronic accessories on the diagnostic socket may cause serious disturbance to the vehicle’s electronic systems.

For your safety we recommend that you use only electronic accessories approved by the manufacturer, consult an Approved

Dealer. Serious accident risk.

Use of transmitting/receiving devices (telephones, CB equipment etc.).

Telephones and CB equipment with integrated aerials may cause interference to the electronic systems originally fitted to the

vehicle: it is advisable only to use equipment with an external aerial. Furthermore, we remind you of the need to conform

to the legislation in force concerning the use of such equipment.

Fitting aftermarket accessories

If you wish to install accessories on the vehicle: please contact an authorised dealer. Also, to ensure the correct operation of

your vehicle, and to avoid any risk to your safety, we recommend that you use only accessories specifically designed for your

vehicle, which are the only accessories for which the manufacturer will provide a warranty.

If you are using an anti-theft device, only attach it to the brake pedal.

Obstructions to the driver

On the driver’s side, only use mats suitable for the vehicle, attached with the pre-fitted components, and check the fitting regu-

larly. Do not lay one mat on top of another. There is a risk of wedging the pedals.

TOWING: breakdown recovery

(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 gear-

boxes), 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 column is unlocked, the acces-

sory functions are supplied: the vehi-

cle lights can be used (indicators, brake

lights etc.). At night the vehicle must

have its lights on.
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 forward, with

the gear lever in the neutral N position,

and for a distance not exceeding

30 miles (50 km).

Do not remove the

RENAULT card from the

reader when the vehicle 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, release the base of the lever, then

use a tool (rigid rod) in the slot 1 and si-

multaneously press button 2 to unlock

the lever.
Contact an authorised dealer as soon

as possible.

5.39

TOWING: breakdown recovery

(2/2)

Only use the front 2 and rear 5 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 indirectly.

Access to towing points

Unclip cover 4 or 6 by sliding a flat tool

(or the key integrated in the RENAULT

card) under the cover.
Tighten towing hitch 3 fully: as much

as possible by hand at first, then finish

tightening it using the wheelbrace or,

depending on the vehicle, the lever.
Only use the towing eye 3 and the

wheelbrace located under the lug-

gage compartment carpet in the tool kit

(please refer to the information under

“Tools” 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.
