My key card is not working. I need to get my car towed but this is not possible when the handbrake is engaged.

How do I manually turn off the electric handbrake?

Hey NIC0903,

Unfortunately we do not have the information here for your vehicle.

Electric park brake systems usually have a release for the situation you are in.

The owners manual will include a section on towing and how to wind off the park brake.

If you do not have the manual i would advise calling a Renault dealer and asking them to run you through the process over the phone.

Hope that helps.

Best of luck getting your vehicle going.

Let us know the solution, others in the same situation will appreciate the information.

Regards, Joe
