fog light RENAULT ALASKAN 2017 User Guide

The rear window defogger switch operates when
the ignition switch is in the ONposition.
The defogger is used to reduce the moisture, fog or
frost on the rear window and outside rearview mir-
ror (where fitted) surfaces to improve the rear view.
When the defogger switch is pushed, the indicator
light j
Ai lluminates and the rear window defogger operates for approximately 15 minutes. After the
preset time has passed, the defogger will turn off
automatically.
To turn the rear window defogger off manually, push
the defogger switch again.
CAUTION
• When operating the defogger continuously,
be sure to start the engine. Otherwise, it may
cause the battery to discharge.
• When cleaning the inner side of the window,
be careful not to scratch or damage the elec-
trical conductors on the surface of the win-
dow. To clean the headlights, pull the windscreen washer
switch towards you while the headlight switch is in
the position and the ignition switch is in the ON
position.
NOTE
The headlight cleaner will automatically operate
every fifth operation of the wiper and washer
switch.
HEADLIGHT CLEANER SWITCH
(where fitted)
The headlight cleaner operates when the headlight
and turn signal switch is in the position and the

The air conditioner system contains refrigerant
under high pressure. To avoid personal injury,
any air conditioner service should be done only
by an experienced technician with the proper
equipment.
The air conditioner system in your vehicle is charged
with arefrigerant designed with the environment in
mind. This refrigerant will not harm the earth’s ozone
layer. However, it may contribute in asmall part to
global warming.
Special charging equipment and lubricant are re-
quired when servicing your vehicle’s air conditioner.
Using improper refrigerants or lubricants will cause
severe damage to the air conditioner system. (See
“Recommended fluids/lubricants and capacities” in
the “9. Technical information” section.)
An approved dealer or qualified workshop will be
able to service your environmentally friendly air con-
ditioner system.
