Renault Captur Towbars

Renault Captur Towing Specifications

Below we will cover the Renault Captur's towing specifications.

Renault Captur Towbar electric kits

We recommend that all tow bars fitted to a Renault Captur's are fitted with a dedicated electrics kit, this not only helps to ensure all modern features, such as trailer stability, parking sensors function correctly, but also ensures that the vehicles manufacturer’s warranty is not invalidated.

A quick look at Renault's warranty page, personally I found Renault's warranty page to be the most confusing, however it does appear to offer the option to extend your warranty up to 10 years, which makes it by far one of the most comprehensive warranty programs I have seen, also the cost of additional years is more than fair. (year 4 for a Captur is only £229.00, a bargain)

Depending on whether you have taken the extended warranty cover, Renault Captur's produced from 2016 Onwards, (at time of writing) which have driven less than 100,000 miles on the clock, will have a manufacturers warranty active.

" Renault New car warranty EasyLife Pack

Renault Warranty information

We do of course offer, Renault Captur universal electrics kits, however as stated these will invalidate any manufacturer warranty you may have.

Bypass Relays

Renault Captur will require a bypass relay when universal electrics are fitted. Bypass relays are used to ensure that the kit does not present faults on the dashboard.

A bypass relay helps the universal kit hide from your vehicle ECU and functions so as not to put faults on the dashboard hence the name “BYPASS”.

A dedicated system works in harmony with your vehicles ECU and all of its functions.

Coding

This is the coding of the ECU to accept the dedicated system, this updates your vehicle's software to run smoothly with the new towbar, it works very much like an update to your smartphone. All Renault Captur's will require coding. Dedicated kits will not invalidate any warranty you may have

Bumper cuts

The only option on the Renault Captur towbars are No Cut, a bumper cut is not required.

Nose weight

Nose weight is the amount of weight pushing down on the tow ball, it is important to not exceed the nose weight set on the tow bar, failure to do so could damage the car chassis and/or tow bar mounting points. For the Renault Captur, the maximum capacity nose weight is 75kg, nose weights are displayed under each tow bar below.

Towing weight

Towing weight is the weight that the Renault Captur onwards towbars can tow safely, without damaging the vehicle, the maximum towing weight capacity is 1200kg.


You will need to check the towing limit for your model of Renault Captur as it may not be able to tow up to the weight limit that the tow bar can tow.
