2017 RENAULT ALASKAN reset

Accordingly, when the TPMS indicator light illumi-
nates, safely stop the vehicle to check the tyres as
soon as possible and inflate the tyres to the proper
pressure. Driving on asignificantly under-inflated
tyre causes the tyre to overheat and can lead to tyre
failure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency
and tyre tread life which may affect the vehicle’s
handling and stopping ability.
NOTE
The TPMS is not asubstitute for proper tyre main-
tenance. It is the driver’s responsibility to main-
tain correct tyre pressure, even if under-inflation
has not reached the level to trigger the illumina-
tion of the TPMS indicator light j
a.
The TPMS indicator light flashes for ashort period
and then turns on continuously if the system is not
operating properly. This sequence will continue
upon subsequent vehicle start-ups as long as the
malfunction exists (missing or faulty TPMS sensor
or TPMS system malfunction). When the malfunc-
tion warning light is illuminated, the system may not be able to detect or signal low tyre pressure as
intended. TPMS malfunctions may occur for avari-
ety of reasons including the installation of replace-
ment or alternate tyres or wheels on the vehicle that
prevent the TPMS from functioning properly. Always
check the TPMS indicator light after replacing one
or more tyres or wheels on your vehicle to ensure
that the replacement or alternate tyres and wheels
allow the TPMS to continue to function properly.
• The TPMS does not monitor the tyre pressure of
the spare tyre.
• The TPMS will activate only when the vehicle is
driven at speeds above 25 km/h (16 MPH). Also,
this system may not detect
asudden drop in tyre
pressure (for example aflat tyre while driving).
• The TPMS indicator light may not automatically
turn off when the tyre pressure is adjusted.
After
the tyre is inflated to the recommended COLD
tyre pressure,d rive the vehicle at speeds above
25 km/h (16 MPH) to activate the TPMS. See
“Adjusting TPMS target pressure” later in this
section
• Following
achange in the outside temperature,
the TPMS indicator light may illuminate even if
the tyre pressure has been adjusted properly.
Adjust the tyre pressure to the recommended
COLD tyre pressure again when the tyres are
cold, and reset the TPMS.
For additional information, see “TPMS tempera-
ture calibration” later in this section. WARNING
• If the TPMS indicator light illuminates while
driving:
–a void sudden steering manoeuvres
–a void abrupt braking
–r educe vehicle speed
–p ull off the road to asafe location
–s top the vehicle as soon as possible
• Driving with under-inflated tyres may perma-
nently damage the tyres and increase the like-
lihood of tyre failure. Serious vehicle damage
could occur which may lead to an accident
and could result in serious personal injury.
• Check the tyre pressure for all four tyres. Ad-
just the tyre pressure to the recommended
COLD tyre pressure shown on the tyre plac-
ard to turn the TPMS indicator light “OFF”. In
case of
aflat tyre, replace it with aspare tyre
as soon as possible. (See “Flat tyre” in the
“6. In case of emergency” section for chang-
ing aflat tyre.)
• When
aspare tyre is mounted or awheel is
replaced, the TPMS will not function and the
TPMS indicator light will flash for approxi-
mately 1minute. The light will remain on after
1m inute. Be sure to follow all instructions for
wheel replacement and mount the TPMS sys-
tem correctly. NIC2225

ADJUSTING TPMS TARGET
PRESSURE
j A Tyre pressure
j B Tyre pressure units
j C Front target pressure
j D Rear target pressure
If you are using your vehicle in aheavily laden condi-
tion, the tyre pressures should be inflated to the
‘Laden Pressure’ shown on the tyre placard.
The TPMS system can be adjusted in the vehicle
information display to set the target pressure to the
‘Laden Pressure’ shown on the tyre placard. See “Vehicle information display” in the “2. Instruments
and controls” section. To adjust the target pressure
use the steering wheel switches to select the [Set-
tings] menu, followed by [Tyre Pressures]. Select
[Target front] and [Target rear] and set the desired
tyre pressure.
The TPMS target pressures will be displayed in the centre of the front and rear axle on the TPMS screen
of the vehicle information display.
TYRE PRESSURE UNITS
The units displayed by the TPMS system can be
selected using the vehicle information display. Se-
lect the [Settings] menu, followed by [Tyre Pres-
sures]. Select [Tyre pressure unit] and choose the
unit that you want.
[CHECK COLD TYRE] MESSAGE
If the tyre pressure becomes higher than the target
pressure during alow tyre pressure condition, the
[Check Cold Tyre] message will be displayed in the vehicle information display (see “Vehicle information
display” in the “2. Instruments and controls” sec-
tion).
NOTE
Even if the pressure is above the preset target
pressure, the yellow colour in the tyre pressure
warning means that the tyre pressure is actually
too low. Tyre pressure is increasing during driv-
ing. Check the tyre pressure when the tyre is
cold.
TPMS TEMPERATURE CALIBRATION
The tyre pressure is affected by the temperature of
the tyre; the tyre temperature increases when the
car is driven. To be able to accurately monitor the
tyre air leakage and to prevent false TPMS warnings
due to reductions in temperature, the TPMS system
uses temperature sensors in the tyres to perform
temperature compensation calculations.
On rare occasions it may be necessary to recalibrate
the TPMS system reference temperature using the
vehicle information display. See “Vehicle informa-
tion display” in the “2. Instruments and controls”
section. This operation should only be performed
when the actual tyre pressure has been adjusted,
whilst the current ambient temperature is signifi-
cantly different to the current calibration tempera-
ture. NIC2227

5-14 Starting and driving

•
When driving on extremely inclined surfaces
such as higher banked corners, the ESP sys-
tem may not operate properly and the ESP
warning light may illuminate. Do not drive
on these types of roads.
• When driving on an unstable surface such as
at urntable, ferry, elevator or ramp, the ESP
warning light may illuminate. This is not a
malfunction. Restart the engine after driving
onto astable surface.
• If wheels or tyres other than the RENAULT
recommended ones are used, the ESP sys-
tem may not operate properly and the ESP
warning light may illuminate.
• The ESP system is not
asubstitute for winter
tyres or tyre chains on asnow covered road.
The Electronic Stability Programme (ESP) system
uses various sensors to monitor driver inputs and
vehicle motion. Under certain driving conditions, the
ESP system performs the following functions:
• Controls brake pressure to reduce wheel slip on
one slipping drive wheel so power is transferred
to
an on slipping drive wheel on the same axle.
• Controls brake pressure and engine output to
reduce drive wheel slip based on vehicle speed
(traction control function). •
Controls brake pressure at individual wheels and
engine output to help the driver maintain control
of the vehicle in the following conditions:
–u
ndersteer (vehicle tends to not follow the
steered path despite increased steering in-
put)
–o versteer (vehicle tends to spin due to cer-
tain road or driving conditions).
The ESP system can help the driver to maintain con-
trol of the vehicle, but it cannot prevent loss of ve-
hicle control in all driving situations.
When the ESP system operates, the ESP warning
light in the instrument panel flashes so note the
following:
• The road may be slippery or the system may
determine some action is required to help the
vehicle on the steered path.
• You may feel
apulsation in the brake pedal and
hear anoise or vibration from under the bonnet.
This is normal and indicates that the ESP system
is working properly.
• Adjust your speed and driving to the road condi-
tions.
If am alfunction occurs in the system, the ESP warn-
ing light illuminates in the instrument panel. The
ESP system automatically turns off.
The ESP OFF switch is used to turn off the ESP
system. The ESP off indicator light illuminates
to indicate the ESP system is off. When the ESP
OFF switch is used to turn off the system, the ESP system still operates to prevent one drive wheel from
slipping by transferring power to
anon slipping drive
wheel. The ESP warning light flashes if this
occurs. All other ESP functions are off and the ESP
warning light will not flash. The ESP system is
automatically reset to on when the ignition switch is
placed in the OFFposition then back to the ONposi-
tion.
When the <4LO> position is selected with the Four-
Wheel Drive (4WD) mode switch, the ESP system
is disabled and the ESP OFF indicator light illumi-
nates.
See “Warning lights, indicator lights and audible
reminders” in the “2. Instruments and controls” sec-
tion and “Four-Wheel Drive (4WD) (where fitted)”
earlier in this section.
The computer has abuilt-in diagnostic feature that
tests the system each time you start the engine and
move the vehicle forward or in reverse at aslow
speed. When the self-test occurs, you may hear a
“clunk” noise and/or feel apulsation in the brake
pedal. This is normal and is not an indication of a
malfunction.
