Renault Clio: Towing a vehicle with an automatic gearbox
With the engine switched off, the transmission
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).
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 simultaneously
press button 2 to unlock the
lever.
Contact an authorised dealer as
soon as possible. |
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.
When the engine is
stopped, steering and braking
assistance are not operational. |

The following advice will enable you to carry out quick, temporary repairs.
For safety reasons you should always contact
an approved Dealer as soon as possible.
