ECO mode RENAULT ALASKAN 2017 Manual PDF

For additional traction on icy roads, studded tyres
may be used. However, some states and provinces
prohibit their use. Check local, state and provincial
laws before installing studded tyres. Skid and trac-
tion capabilities of studded snow tyres on wet or dry
surfaces may be poorer than that of non-studded
snow tyres.
Four-Wheel Drive (4WD) model
CAUTION
• Always use tyres of the same type, size, brand,
construction (bias, bias-belted or radial), and
tread pattern on all four wheels. Failure to do
so may result in
acircumference difference
between tyres on the front and rear axles
which will cause excessive tyre wear and may
damage the transmission, transfer case and
differential gears.
• ONLY use spare tyres specified for the 4WD
model.
If excessive tyre wear is found, it is recommended
that all four tyres be replaced with tyres of the same
size, brand, construction and tread pattern. The tyre
pressure and wheel alignment should also be
checked and corrected as necessary. Contact an
approved dealer or qualified workshop. TYRE CHAINS
Use of tyre chains may be prohibited according to
location. Check the local laws before installing tyre
chains. When installing tyre chains, make sure that
they are of proper size for the tyres on your vehicle
and are installed according to the chain manufactur-
er’s instructions.
Use chain tensioners when recommended by the
tyre chain manufacturer to ensure
atight fit. Loose
end links of the tyre chains must be secured or
removed to prevent the possibility of whipping ac-
tion damage to the wings or underbody. If possible,
avoid fully loading your vehicle when using tyre
chains. In addition, drive at areduced speed. Oth-
erwise, your vehicle may be damaged and/or ve-
hicle handling and performance may be adversely
affected.
Tyre chains must be installed only on the rear
wheels and not on the front wheels.
Do not drive with tyre chains on paved roads which
are clear of snow. Driving with chains in such condi-
tions can cause damage to the various mechanisms
of the vehicle due to some overstress. TYRE ROTATION
RENAULT recommends that tyres be rotated every
5,000 km (3,000 miles) for Four-Wheel Drive (4WD)
or every 10,000 km (6,000 miles) for Two-Wheel
Drive (2WD) model. However, the timing for tyre
rotation may vary according to your driving habits
and the road surface conditions. (See “Flat tyre” in
the “6. In case of emergency” section for the tyre
replacement.)
WARNING
• After rotating the tyres, adjust the tyre pres-
sure.
• Retighten the wheel nuts when the vehicle
has been driven for 1,000 km (600 miles) (also
in cases of
aflat tyre, etc.).
• Do not include the spare tyre in tyre rotation. SDI1662Z
