2017 RENAULT ALASKAN wheel size

•
When
aspare tyre is mounted or
awheel is
replaced, the TPMS will not function and the
low tyre pressure warning light will flash for
approximately 1minute. The light will remain
on after 1minute. Contact an approved dealer
or qualified workshop as soon as possible for
tyre replacement and/or system resetting.
• Replacing tyres with those not originally speci-
fied by RENAULT could affect the proper op-
eration of the TPMS.
CAUTION
• The TPMS is not
asubstitute for the regular
tyre pressure check. Be sure to check the tyre
pressure regularly.
• If the vehicle is being driven at speeds of less
than 25 km/h (16 MPH), the TPMS may not
operate correctly.
• Be sure to install the specified size of tyres to
all four wheels correctly. Low washer fluid warning light
(where fitted)
The low washer fluid warning light illuminates when
the washer fluid in the reservoir is at alow level. Add
washer fluid as necessary. (See “Window washer
fluid” in the “8. Maintenance and do-it-yourself” sec-
tion.) Malfunction warning light (red)
(where fitted)
When the ignition switch is placed in the ON posi-
tion, the malfunction warning light illuminates in red.
This means that the system is operational. After
starting the engine, the warning light turns off.
For the orange Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL),
see “Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)” later in this
section for details.
If the malfunction warning light (red) illuminates con-
tinuously while the engine is running, it may indicate
an engine control system malfunction. Have your
vehicle inspected by an approved dealer or qualified
workshop. You do not need to have your vehicle
towed to the dealer.
CAUTION
Continuing vehicle operation without proper ser-
vicing of the engine control system could lead to
poor driveability, reduced fuel economy, and
damage to the engine control system, which may
affect the vehicle’s warranty coverage. Master warning light (where
fitted)
When the ignition switch is in the ON position, the
master warning light illuminates if any of the follow-
ing are displayed on the vehicle information display.

Dynamic predictive course lines ➅:
The dynamic predictive course lines will be dis-
played on the monitor when the steering wheel is
turned. The course lines will move depending on
how much the steering wheel is turned and will not
be displayed while the steering wheel is in the neu-
tral position.
The front view will not be displayed when the vehicle
speed is above 10 km/h (6 MPH). WARNING
• The distance between objects viewed in the
rear view differs from actual distance because
aw ide-angle lens is used. Objects in the rear
view will appear visually opposite than when
viewed in the rear view and outside mirrors.
• On
asnow-covered or slippery road, there
may be adifference between the predictive
course line and the actual course line.
• The displayed lines on the rear view will ap-
pear slightly off to the right because the rear
view camera is not installed in the rear centre
of the vehicle. NOTE
When the monitor displays the front view and the
steering wheel turns about 90 degrees or less
from the neutral position, both the right and left
predictive course lines
➅are displayed. When
the steering wheel turns about 90 degrees or
more, aline is displayed only on the opposite
side of the turn.
Bird’s-eye view WARNING
• Objects in the bird’s-eye view will appear fur-
ther than the actual distance because the
bird’s-eye view is apseudo view that is pro-
cessed by combining the views from the cam-
eras on the outside mirrors, the front and the
rear of the vehicle.
• Tall objects, such as
akerb or avehicle, may
be misaligned or not displayed at the seam of
the views.
• Objects that are above the camera cannot be
displayed.
• The view for the bird’s-eye view may be mis-
aligned when the camera position alters.
• Al
ine on the ground may be misaligned and is
not seen as being straight at the seam of the
views. The misalignment will increase as the
line proceeds away from the vehicle. The bird’s-eye view shows the overhead view of the
vehicle, which helps confirm the vehicle position and
the predicted course to
aparking space.
The vehicle icon ➀shows the position of the ve-
hicle.
NOTE
The size of the vehicle icon on the bird’s-eye
view may differ somewhat from the actual ve-
hicle.
At first operation, the blind spot corner lines ➁on
all four corners of the vehicle icon are blinking yel-
low for about 3seconds. The four corners
➂of the
vehicle are displayed in red.
NOTE
• The areas that the cameras cannot cover are
indicated in black.
• Blind spot corner lines
➁blink (yellow) on all
four corners of the vehicle icon as areminder
to be cautious. This is not amalfunction. NAA1694

•
Do not drive across steep slopes. Instead
drive either straight up or straight down the
slopes. Off-road vehicles can tip over side-
ways much more easily than they can forward
or backward.
• Many hills are too steep for any vehicle. If you
drive up them, you may stall. If you drive down
them, you may not be able to control your
speed. If you drive across them, you may roll
over.
• Do not shift ranges while driving on downhill
grades as this could cause loss of control of
the vehicle.
• Stay alert when driving to the top of
ahill. At
the top there could be adrop-off or other haz-
ard that could cause an accident.
• If your engine stalls or you cannot make it to
the top of
asteep hill, never attempt to turn
around. Your vehicle could tip or roll over.
Always back straight down in R(Reverse)
range. Never back down in N(Neutral) or with
the clutch pedal depressed (MT model) using
only the brake, as this could cause loss of
control.
• Heavy braking going down
ahill could cause
your brakes to overheat and fade, resulting in
loss of control and an accident. Apply brakes
lightly and use alow range to control your
speed.
• Unsecured cargo can be thrown around when
driving over rough terrain. Properly secure all cargo so it will not be thrown forward and
cause injury to you or your passengers.
• To avoid raising the centre of gravity exces-
sively, do not exceed the rated capacity of the
roof rail (where fitted) and evenly distribute
the load. Secure heavy loads in the cargo area
as far forward and as low as possible. Do not
equip the vehicle with tyres larger than speci-
fied in this manual. This could cause your ve-
hicle to roll over.
• Do not grip the inside or spokes of the steer-
ing wheel when driving off-road. The steering
wheel could move suddenly and injure your
hands. Instead drive with your fingers and
thumbs on the outside of the rim.
• Before operating the vehicle, ensure that the
driver and all passengers have their seat belts
fastened.
• Always drive with the floor mats in place as
the floor may became hot.
• Lower your speed when encountering strong
crosswinds. With
ahigher centre of gravity,
your vehicle is more affected by strong side
winds. Slower speeds ensure better vehicle
control.
• Do not drive beyond the performance capabil-
ity of the tyres, even with 4WD engaged.
• Do not attempt to raise two wheels off the
ground and shift the transmission to any drive
or reverse position with the engine running.
Doing so may result in drivetrain damage or unexpected vehicle movement which could
result in serious vehicle damage or personal
injury.
• Do not attempt to test
a4WD equipped ve-
hicle on a2-wheel dynamometer or similar
equipment even if the other two wheels are
raised off the ground. Make sure you inform
test facility personnel that your vehicle is
equipped with 4WD before it is placed on a dynamometer. Using the wrong test equip-
ment may result in drivetrain damage or unex-
pected vehicle movement which could result
in serious vehicle damage or personal injury.
• When
awheel is off the ground due to an
unlevel surface, do not spin the wheel exces-
sively.
• Accelerating quickly, sharp steering manoeu-
vres or sudden braking may cause loss of con-
trol.
• If at all possible, avoid sharp turning manoeu-
vres, particularly at high speeds. Your vehicle
has
ahigher centre of gravity than aconven-
tional passenger car. The vehicle is not de-
signed for cornering at the same speeds as
conventional passenger cars. Failure to oper- ate this vehicle correctly could result in loss
of control and/or arollover accident.
• Always use tyres of the same type, size, brand,
construction (bias, bias-belted or radial), and
tread pattern on all four wheels. Install tyre
chains on the rear wheels when driving on
slippery roads and drive carefully.

Avoid sudden steering.
• Avoid following too close to the vehicle in front.
ja TPMS indicator light
j b TPMS tyre location indicator
j A Tyre valve with sensor
The tyre pressure monitoring system monitors the
tyre pressure of the four wheels while the vehicle is
in motion. Following aloss in pressure, the system
will warn the driver using avisual warning. Each TPMS sensor
jAh asaregistered wheel location
and sends pressure and temperature data via radio
to ar eceiver inside the vehicle.
Each tyre, including the spare (where fitted), should
be checked monthly when cold and inflated to the
inflation pressure recommended by the vehicle
manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tyre inflation
pressure label. (If your vehicle has tyres of adiffer-
ent size than the size indicated on the vehicle plac-
ard or tyre inflation pressure label, you should deter-
mine the proper tyre inflation pressure for those
tyres.)

TYRE RECOMMENDATION FOR 4WD
CAUTION
• Always use tyres of the same size, brand, con-
struction (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 Four-
Wheel Drive (4WD) models.
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.
Snow tyres
If you install snow tyres, they must also be of the
same size, brand, construction and tread pattern on
all four wheels.
Tyre inflation pressure
Periodically check the pressures of all tyres, includ-
ing the spare, with agauge while at aservice sta-
tion. If necessary, adjust to the specified pressure.
Tyre pressures are shown on the tyre placard af-
fixed to the driver’s side centre pillar or rear access
door. Tyre rotation
RENAULT recommends that tyres should be rotated
every 5,000 km (3,000 miles).
Snow chains
Snow chains must be installed only on the rear
wheels and not on the front wheels.
Do not drive with snow chains on paved roads that are clear of snow. Driving with chains in such condi-
tions can cause damage to the various mechanisms of the vehicle due to overstress. When driving on
clear paved roads, be sure to change to Two-Wheel
Drive (2WD) mode. The rear differential lock is designed to transmit en-
gine power to the left and right rear wheels equally.
If your vehicle is stuck in sand, snow, mud, etc. or
one wheel is off the ground and the differential lock
is not on, engine power is transmitted to the wheel
with least resistance causing it to spin, leaving insuf-
ficient traction on the other wheel. The rear differen-
tial lock allows the left and right wheels to rotate as
au
nit, enabling your vehicle to free itself.
To lock the rear differential gear:
1) Stop the vehicle completely.
2) Turn the 4WD mode switch to the 4LO position. For operation of the 4WD mode switch, see
“Four-Wheel Drive (4WD) (where fitted)” earlier
in this section.
3) Push the differential lock mode switch to the ON position.
The differential lock indicator light will blink
in the meter and then remains on while the differ-
ential gear is completely locked. JVS0533XZ

SYSTEM (where fitted)
5-32 Starting and driving

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

When the ABS senses that one or more wheels are
close to locking up, the actuator rapidly applies and
releases hydraulic pressure. This action is similar to
pumping the brakes very quickly. You may feel a
pulsation in the brake pedal and hear anoise from
under the bonnet or feel avibration from the actua-
tor when it is operating. This is normal and indicates
that the ABS is operating properly. However, the
pulsation may indicate that road conditions are haz-
ardous and extra care is required while driving.
When the differential lock (where fitted) is engaged,
the ABS warning light illuminates. This indicates that
the anti-lock function is not fully operating. (See
“Rear differential locking system (where fitted)” ear-
lier in this section for the rear differential lock func-
tion.) WARNING
• Whatever the condition, drive with caution.
Accelerate and decelerate with great care. If
accelerating or decelerating too fast, the drive
wheels will lose even more traction.
• Allow more stopping distance in cold weather
driving. Braking should be started sooner than
on dry pavement.
• Keep at
agreater distance from the vehicle in
front of you on slippery roads.
• Wet ice (0°C, 32°F and freezing rain), very cold
snow and ice can be slick and very difficult to
drive on. The vehicle will have
alot less trac-
tion or grip under these conditions. Try to
avoid driving on wet ice until the road is salted
or sanded.
• Watch for slippery spots (glaring ice). These
may appear on an otherwise clear road in
shaded areas. If
apatch of ice is seen ahead,
brake before reaching it. Try not to brake while
actually on the ice, and avoid any sudden
steering manoeuvres.
• Do not use cruise control on slippery roads.
• Snow can trap dangerous exhaust gas under
your vehicle. Keep snow clear of the exhaust
pipe and from around your vehicle. BATTERY
If the battery is not fully charged during extremely
cold weather conditions, the battery fluid may freeze
and damage the battery. To maintain maximum effi-
ciency, the battery should be checked regularly. For
details, see “Battery” in the “8. Maintenance and
do-it-yourself” section of this manual.
ENGINE COOLANT
If the vehicle is to be left outside without anti-freeze,
drain the cooling system, including the engine block.
Refill before operating the vehicle. For details, see
“Engine cooling system” in the “8. Maintenance and
do-it-yourself” section of this manual.
TYRE EQUIPMENT
1. If you have snow tyres installed on the front/rear
wheels of your vehicle, they should be of the
same size, loading range, construction and type
(bias, bias-belted or radial) as the rear/front tyres.
2. If the vehicle is to be operated in severe winter conditions, snow tyres should be installed on all
four wheels.
3. For additional traction on icy roads, studded tyres may be used. However, some countries, prov-
inces and states prohibit their use. Check local,
state and provincial laws before installing stud-
ded tyres.
Skid and traction capabilities of studded snow
tyres, on wet or dry surfaces, may be poorer
than that of non-studded snow tyres.
COLD WEATHER DRIVING
Starting and driving5-51

4. Snow chains may be used if desired. Make sure
they are the proper size for the tyres on your
vehicle and are installed according to the chain
manufacturer’s instructions. Use chain tension-
ers when recommended by the tyre chain manu-
facturer to ensure atight fit. Loose end links of
the tyre chains must be secured or removed to
prevent the possibility of whipping action dam-
age to the wings or underbody. In addition, drive
at ar educed speed, otherwise, your vehicle may
be damaged and/or vehicle handling and perfor-
mance may be adversely affected.
SPECIAL WINTER EQUIPMENT
It is recommended that the following items be car-
ried in the vehicle during the winter:
• As
craper and stiff-bristled brush to remove ice
and snow from the windows.
• As
turdy, flat board to be placed under the jack
to give it firm support.
• As
hovel to dig the vehicle out of snowdrifts.
PARKING BRAKE
When parking in the area where the outside tem-
perature is below 0°C (32°F), do not apply the park-
ing brake to prevent it from freezing. For safe park-
ing:
• Place the shift lever in the
P(Park) position (Au-
tomatic transmission model).
• Place the shift lever in the
1(1st) or R(Reverse)
gear (Manual transmission model). •
Securely block the wheels.
CORROSION PROTECTION
Chemicals used for road surface deicing are ex-
tremely corrosive and will accelerate corrosion and
the deterioration of underbody components such as
the exhaust system, fuel and brake lines, brake
cables, floor pan and wings.
In the winter, the underbody must be cleaned
periodically. For additional information, see
“Cleaning exterior” in the “7. Appearance and
care” section of this manual.
For additional protection against rust and corrosion,
which may be required in some areas, consult an
approved dealer or qualified workshop.
