2017 RENAULT ALASKAN turn signal

Your new vehicle was designed to be used primarily
to carry passengers and luggage.
Towing atrailer will place additional loads on your
vehicle’s engine, drive train, steering, braking and
other systems. The towing of atrailer will exagger-
ate other conditions such as sway caused by cross-
winds, rough road surfaces or passing trucks.
Your driving style and speed must be adjusted ac-
cording to the circumstances. Before towing a
trailer, see an approved dealer or qualified work-
shop for an explanation about the proper use of tow-
ing equipment.
OPERATING PRECAUTIONS
• Avoid towing
atrailer during the running-in pe-
riod.
• Before driving, make sure that the lighting sys-
tem of the trailer works properly.
• Observe the legal maximum speeds for trailer
operation.
• Avoid abrupt starts, accelerations and stops.
• Avoid sharp turns and lane changes.
• Always drive your vehicle at
amoderate speed.
• Follow the trailer manufacturer’s instructions.
• Choose proper coupling devices (trailer hitch,
safety chain, roof carrier, etc.) for your vehicle
and trailer. These devices are available from an
approved dealer or qualified workshop where
you can also obtain more detailed information
about trailer towing. •
Never allow the total trailer load (trailer weight
plus its cargo weight) to exceed the maximum
set for the vehicle and the coupling device. See
an approved dealer or qualified workshop for
more information.
• The trailer must be loaded so that heavy goods
are placed over the axle. The maximum allowable
vertical load on the trailer hitch must not be ex-
ceeded.
• Have your vehicle serviced more often than at
the intervals specified in
aseparate maintenance
booklet.
• Trailer towing requires more fuel than under nor-
mal circumstances because of
aconsiderable
increase in traction power and resistance.
While towing atrailer, check the engine coolant
temperature indicator to prevent the vehicle from
overheating.
TYRE PRESSURE
When towing atrailer, inflate the vehicle tyres to the
maximum recommended COLD tyre pressure (for
full loading) indicated on the tyre placard.
Do not tow atrailer when the vehicle is installed with
at emporary spare tyre or acompact spare tyre.
SAFETY CHAINS
Always use asuitable chain between the vehicle
and trailer. The chain should be crossed and should
be attached to the hitch, not to the vehicle bumper
or axle. Be sure to leave enough slack in the chain
to permit turning corners. TRAILER BRAKES
Ensure that trailer brakes are installed as required
by local regulations. Also check that all other trailer
equipment conforms to local regulations.
Always block the wheels on both the vehicle and
trailer when parking. Apply the hand brake on the
trailer where fitted. Parking on
asteep slope is not
recommended.
If parking on asteep slope is unavoidable, place the
shift lever in the P(Park) position (Automatic trans-
mission model), or in an appropriate position
(Manual transmission model), and turn the front
wheels towards the kerb.
TRAILER DETECTION (where fitted)
When towing atrailer with agenuine RENAULT tow
bar electrical kit and the turn signal switch is used,
the electrical system of the vehicle will detect the
additional electrical load of the trailer lighting. As a
result, the direction indicator tone will be different.

• Be sure to move the shift lever to the
R(Re-
verse) position (manual transmission model).
• Never change tyres when the vehicle is on a
slope, ice or slippery area. This is hazardous.
• Never change tyres when the oncoming traf-
fic is close to your vehicle. Call for profes-
sional road assistance.
1. Safely move the vehicle off the road and away from traffic.

Lights*:
Clean the headlights on
aregular basis. Make sure
that the headlights, stop lights, tail lights, turn signal
lights, and other lights are all operating properly and
installed securely. Also check the aim of the head-
lights.
Tyres*:
Check the pressure with agauge often and always
prior to long distance trips. Adjust the pressure in all
tyres, including the spare, to the pressure specified.
Check carefully for damage, cuts or excessive wear.
Tyre rotation*:
In the case of Two-Wheel Drive (2WD), and where
front and rear tyres are the same size: tyres should
be rotated every 10,000 km (6,000 miles). Tyres
marked with directional indicators can only be ro-
tated between front and rear. Make sure that the
directional indicators point in the direction of wheel
rotation after the tyre rotation is completed.
In the case of the Four-Wheel Drive and All Wheel
Drive (4WD/AWD), and where front and rear tyres
are the same size: tyres should be rotated every
5,000 km (3,000 miles). Tyres marked with direc-
tional indicators can only be rotated between front
and rear. Make sure that the directional indicators
point in the direction of wheel rotation after the tyre
rotation is completed.
In the case that front tyres are different size from
rear tyres: tyres cannot be rotated.
The timing for tyre rotation may vary according to
your driving habits and the road surface conditions. Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)
transmitter components (where fitted):
Replace the TPMS transmitter grommet seal, valve
core and cap when the tyres are replaced due to
wear or age.
Wheel alignment and balance:
If the vehicle should pull to either side while driving
on astraight and level road, or if you detect uneven
or abnormal tyre wear, there may be aneed for
wheel alignment. If the steering wheel or seat vi-
brates at normal highway speeds, wheel balancing
may be needed.
Windscreen:
Clean the windscreen on aregular basis. Check the
windscreen at least every six months for cracks or
other damage. Repair as necessary.
Wiper blades*:
Check for cracks or wear if not functioning cor-
rectly. Replace as necessary.
Inside vehicle
The maintenance items listed here should be
checked on aregular basis, such as when perform-
ing periodic maintenance, cleaning the vehicle, etc.
Accelerator pedal:
Check the pedal for smooth operation and make
sure that the pedal does not catch or require uneven
effort. Keep the floor mats away from the pedal. Brake pedal*:
Check the pedal for smooth operation and make
sure that it is the proper distance from the floor mat
when depressed fully. Check the brake booster
function. Be sure to keep the floor mats away from
the pedal.
Parking brake*:
Check the parking brake operation regularly. Check
that the lever (where fitted) or the pedal (where fit-
ted) has the proper travel. Also make sure that the
vehicle is held securely on
afairly steep hill when
only the parking brake is applied.
Seat belts:
Check that all parts of the seat belt system (for
example, buckles, anchors, adjusters and retrac-
tors) operate properly and smoothly, and are in-
stalled securely. Check the belt webbing for cuts,
fraying, wear or damage.
Steering wheel:
Check for changes in the steering condition, such
as excessive play, hard steering or strange noises.
Warning lights and chimes:
Make sure that all warning lights and chimes are
operating properly.
Windscreen defogger:
Check that the air comes out of the defogger outlets
properly and in good quantity when operating the
heater or air conditioner.

Replacing halogen headlight bulb
The halogen headlight is asemi-sealed beam type
which uses replaceable headlight (halogen) bulbs.
They can be replaced from inside the engine com-
partment without removing the headlight assembly.
CAUTION
High-pressure halogen gas is sealed inside the
bulb. The bulb may break if the glass envelope is
scratched or the bulb is dropped.
1. Disconnect the battery negative cable.
2. Disconnect the electrical connector from the
rear end of the bulb.
3. Pull off the rubber cap
➀.
4. Push and turn the retaining pin
➁to loosen it.
5. Remove the headlight bulb. Do not shake or
rotate the bulb when removing it.
6. Install the new bulb in the reverse order of
removal.
CAUTION
• When handling the bulb, do not touch the
glass envelope.
• Use the same number and wattage as origi-
nally installed:
Halogen headlight model
High/low beam bulb: 60W/55W (H4)
• Do not leave the bulb out of the headlight
reflector for
along period of time as dust, moisture and smoke may enter the headlight
body and affect the performance of the head-
light.
Aiming adjustment is not necessary if only the bulbs
are replaced. When aiming adjustment is neces-
sary, contact an approved dealer or qualified work-
shop.
