sensor RENAULT ALASKAN 2017 Owner's Guide

While driving on
aslippery surface, be careful when
braking, accelerating or downshifting. Abrupt brak-
ing or acceleration could cause the wheels to skid
and result in an accident.
Wet brakes
When the vehicle is washed or driven through wa-
ter, the brakes may get wet. As aresult, your brak-
ing distance will be longer and the vehicle may pull
to one side during braking.
To dry the brakes, drive the vehicle at asafe speed
while lightly depressing the footbrake pedal to heat
up the brakes. Do this until the brakes return to nor-
mal. Avoid driving the vehicle at high speeds until
the brakes function correctly.
Parking brake running-in
Break in the parking brake shoes whenever the
stopping effect of the parking brake is weakened or
whenever the parking brake shoes and/or drums/
rotors are replaced, in order to assure the best brak-
ing performance.
This procedure is described in the vehicle service
manual and can be performed by an approved dealer
or qualified workshop.
ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM (ABS) WARNING
The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) is
asophis-
ticated device, but it cannot prevent accidents
resulting from careless or dangerous driving
techniques. It can help maintain vehicle control during braking on slippery surfaces. Remember
that stopping distances on slippery surfaces will
be longer than on normal surfaces even with ABS.
Stopping distances may also be longer on rough,
gravel or snow covered roads, or if you are using
tyre chains. Always maintain
asafe distance from
the vehicle in front of you. Ultimately, the driver
is responsible for safety.
Tyre type and condition may also affect braking
effectiveness.
• When replacing tyres, install the specified size
of tyres on all four wheels.
• When installing
aspare tyre, make sure that it
is the proper size and type as specified on the
tyre placard. (See “Vehicle identification” in
the “9. Technical information” section.)
• For detailed information, see “Tyres and
wheels” in the “9. Technical information” sec-
tion.
The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) controls the
brakes so the wheels do not lock during hard brak-
ing or when braking on slippery surfaces. The sys-
tem detects the rotation speed at each wheel and
varies the brake fluid pressure to prevent each wheel
from locking and sliding. By preventing each wheel
from locking, the system helps the driver maintain
steering control and helps to minimise swerving and
spinning on slippery surfaces. Using system
Depress the brake pedal and hold it down. Depress
the brake pedal with firm steady pressure, but do
not pump the brakes. The ABS will operate to pre-
vent the wheels from locking up. Steer the vehicle to
avoid obstacles. WARNING
Do not pump the brake pedal. Doing so may re-
sult in increased stopping distances.
Self-test feature
The ABS includes electronic sensors, electric
pumps, hydraulic solenoids and acomputer. The
computer has abuilt-in diagnostic feature that tests
the system each time you start the engine and move
the vehicle at alow speed in forward or reverse.
When the self-test occurs, you may hear a“clunk”
noise and/or feel apulsation in the brake pedal. This
is normal and does not indicate amalfunction. If the
computer senses amalfunction, it switches the ABS
off and illuminates the ABS warning light on the
instrument panel. The brake system then operates
normally, but without anti-lock assistance. If the ABS
warning light illuminates during the self-test or while
driving, have the vehicle checked by an approved
dealer or qualified workshop.
Normal operation
The ABS operates at speeds above 5to10km/h (3
to 6M PH). The speed varies according to road con-
ditions.
5-50 Starting and driving

•
Do not galvanise the emergency tyre punc-
ture repair kit.
• Do not use the emergency tyre puncture re-
pair kit under the following conditions. Con-
tact an approved dealer or qualified workshop
or professional road assistance.
–w
hen the sealant has passed its expiration
date (shown on the label attached to the
bottle)
–w hen the cut or the puncture is approxi-
mately 6mm(0.25 in) or longer
–w hen the side of the tyre is damaged
–w hen the vehicle has been driven with a
considerable loss of air from the tyre
–w hen the tyre is completely displaced in-
side or outside the rim
–w hen the tyre rim is damaged
–w hen two or more tyres are flat Getting emergency tyre puncture repair
kit
Take the emergency tyre puncture repair kit from its
storage position under the left rear seat. The repair
kit consists of the following items:
➀
Tyre sealant bottle
➁ Air compressor
➂ Speed restriction sticker
NOTE
For models with the emergency tyre puncture
repair kit, aspare tyre, jack and rod are not
equipped as standard. These parts are dealer
options. Contact an approved dealer or qualified
workshop about obtaining these parts. See
“Changing flat tyre (for models with spare tyre) ”
earlier in this section for usage of jacking tools
and tyre replacement. Before using emergency tyre puncture
repair kit
• If any foreign object (for example,
ascrew or
nail) is embedded in the tyre, do not remove it.
• Check the expiration date of the sealant (shown
on the label attached to the bottle). Never use a
sealant whose expiration date has passed.
Repairing tyre WARNING
Observe the following precautions when using
the emergency tyre puncture repair kit.
• Swallowing the compound is dangerous. Im-
mediately drink as much water as possible
and seek prompt medical assistance.
• Rinse well with lots of water if the compound
comes into contact with skin or eyes. If irrita-
tion persists, seek prompt medical attention.
• Keep the repair compound out of the reach of
children.
• The emergency repair compound may cause
am
alfunction of the tyre pressure sensors
(where fitted) and cause the low tyre pres-
sure warning light (where fitted) to illuminate.
Have the tyre pressure sensor replaced as
soon as possible. NCE483
In case of emergency
6-7

If the pressure drops again,
the tyre cannot be
repaired with this tyre puncture repair kit. Con-
tact an approved dealer or qualified workshop.
When the tyre pressure is the specified
pressure:
The temporary repair is completed.
See an approved dealer or qualified workshop for
the repair/replacement as soon as possible.
After repairing tyre
See an approved dealer or qualified workshop for
tyre repair or replacement and for anew tyre seal-
ant bottle and hose, as soon as possible.
CAUTION
• Before driving, ensure tyre is adjusted to rec-
ommended inflation pressure as indicated on
vehicle placard. Monitor tyre pressure until
sealed tyre is replaced.
• Do not drive the vehicle at speeds faster than
50 MPH (80 km/h), and the damaged tyre
must be replaced as quickly as possible
(within
amaximum driving distance of 200 km
(120 miles)). You must not continue to drive if
heavy vibrations, unsteady steering behaviour
or noises should occur while driving.
• Immediately after using Emergency Tyre Seal-
ant to repair
aminor tyre puncture, take your
vehicle to an approved dealer or qualified
workshop to inspect, and repair or replace
the tyre. The Emergency Tyre Sealant cannot
permanently seal apunctured tyre. Continu- ing operation of the vehicle without
aperma-
nent tyre repair can lead to acrash.
• If you used Emergency Tyre Sealant to repair
am
inor tyre puncture, your approved dealer
or qualified workshop will also need to re-
place the TPMS sensor in addition to repair-
ing or replacing the tyre.
• RENAULT recommends using only RENAULT
Genuine Emergency Tyre Sealant provided
with your vehicle. Other tyre sealants may
damage the valve stem seal which can cause
the tyre to lose air pressure. WARNING
• Incorrect jump starting can lead to
abattery
explosion. The battery explosion may result in
severe injury or death. It may also result in
damage to the vehicle. Be sure to follow the
instructions in this section.
• Explosive hydrogen gas is always present in
the vicinity of the battery. Keep all sparks and
flames away from the battery.
• Always wear suitable eye protection and re-
move rings, bracelets, and any other jewellery
whenever working on or near
abattery.
• Never lean over the battery while jump start-
ing.
• Never allow battery fluid to come into contact
with eyes, skin, clothes or the vehicle’s
painted surfaces. Battery fluid is
acorrosive
sulphuric acid which can cause severe burns.
If the fluid comes into contact with anything,
immediately flush the contacted area with
plenty of water.
• Keep the battery out of the reach of children.
• The booster battery must be rated at 12 volts.
Use of an incorrectly rated battery will dam-
age your vehicle.
• Never attempt to jump start
afrozen battery.
It could explode and cause serious injury.
