2017 RENAULT ALASKAN warning

•
Tampering with the supplemental air bag sys-
tems may result in serious personal injury.
Tampering includes changes to the steering
wheel and the instrument panel by placing
materials over the steering wheel pad and
above, around or on the instrument panel or
by installing additional trim materials around
the supplemental air bag systems.
• Work on and around the supplemental air bag
systems should be done by an approved
dealer or qualified workshop. The SRS wiring
should not be modified or disconnected. Un-
authorised electrical test equipment and
probing devices should not be used on the
supplemental air bag systems.
• The SRS wiring harness connectors are yel-
low for easy identification.
• Never install
arear-facing child restraint sys-
tem on the front passenger seat without first
deactivating the passenger air bag with the
front passenger air bag switch. In afrontal
collision, supplemental front-impact air bags
inflate with great force. An inflating supple-
mental front-impact air bag could seriously
injure or kill your child.
When the air bags inflate, afairly loud noise may be
heard, followed by the release of smoke. This smoke
is not harmful and does not indicate afire. Care
should be taken not to inhale it, as it may cause irri-
tation and choking. Those with ahistory of abreath-
ing condition should get fresh air promptly. Supplemental front-impact air bag
system
The driver’s supplemental front-impact air bag is
located at the centre of the steering wheel. The pas-
senger’s supplemental front-impact air bag is lo-
cated at the instrument panel above the glove box.
The supplemental front-impact air bag system is de-
signed to inflate in higher severity frontal collisions,
although it may inflate if the forces in another type of
collision are similar to those of
ahigher severity fron-
tal impact. It may not inflate in certain frontal colli-
sions. Vehicle damage (or lack of it) is not always an
indication of proper supplemental front-impact air
bag system operation. WARNING
Never install
arear-facing child restraint system
on the front passenger seat without first deacti-
vating the passenger air bag with the front pas-
senger air bag switch (where fitted), see “Front
passenger air bag switch (where fitted)” later in
this section. In afrontal collision, supplemental
front-impact air bags inflate with great force. An
inflating supplemental front-impact air bag could
seriously injure or kill your child. Front passenger air bag status light (where fit-

sions, although it may inflate if the forces in another
type of collision are similar to those of ahigher se-
verity impact. It may not inflate in certain collisions. NP A1296
1-38 Safety —seats, seat belts and supplemental restraint system

Vehicle damage (or lack of it) is not always an indi-
cation of proper supplemental driver’s knee air bag
system operation.
Supplemental side-impact air bag
system (where fitted)
The supplemental side-impact air bag is located at
the outside of the front seats’ seatbacks.
The supplemental side-impact air bag system is de-
signed to inflate in higher severity side collisions,
although it may inflate if the forces in another type of
collision are similar to those of ahigher severity side
impact. It may not inflate in certain side collisions.
Vehicle damage (or lack of it) is not always an indi-
cation of proper supplemental side-impact air bag
system operation. Supplemental curtain side-impact air
bag system (where fitted)
The supplemental curtain side-impact air bag is lo-
cated at the roof rails.
The supplemental curtain side-impact air bag sys-
tem is designed to inflate in higher severity side col-
lisions, although it may inflate if the forces in another
type of collision are similar to those of ahigher se-
verity side impact. It may not inflate in certain side
collisions. Vehicle damage (or lack of it) is not al-
ways an indication of proper supplemental curtain
side-impact air bag system operation.
PRE-TENSIONER SEAT BELT
SYSTEM (where fitted) WARNING
• The pre-tensioner seat belt cannot be reused
after activation. It must be replaced together
with the retractor and buckle as aunit.
• If the vehicle becomes involved in
acollision
but the pre-tensioner is not activated, be sure
to have the pre-tensioner system checked
and, if necessary, replaced by an approved
dealer or qualified workshop.
• No unauthorised changes should be made to
any components or wiring of the pre-tensioner
seat belt system. This is to prevent accidental
activation of the pre-tensioner seat belt or
damage to the pre-tensioner seat belt sys-
tem. •
Work around or on the pre-tensioner seat belt
system should be done by an approved dealer
or qualified workshop. The SRS wiring should
not be modified or disconnected. Unautho-
rised electrical test equipment and probing
devices should not be used on the pre-ten-
sioner seat belt system.
• If you need to dispose of the pre-tensioner
seat belt system, or scrap the vehicle, contact
an approved dealer or qualified workshop.
Correct pre-tensioner disposal procedures are set forth in the appropriate maintenance
service manual. Incorrect disposal proce-
dures could cause personal injury.
The pre-tensioner is encased with the front seat
belt’s retractor and anchor. These seat belts are
used the same as conventional seat belts.
When the pre-tensioner seat belt activates, afairly
loud noise may be heard, followed by the release of
smoke. This smoke is not harmful and does not indi-
cate afire. Care should be taken not to inhale it, as
it may cause irritation and choking. Those with ahis-
tory of abreathing condition should get fresh air
promptly. SSS1092Z

have been inflated, the air bag modules will
not function and must be replaced. The air
bag modules must be replaced by an ap- proved dealer or qualified workshop. The in-
flated air bag modules cannot be repaired.
• The air bag systems should be inspected by
an approved dealer or qualified workshop if
there is any damage to the vehicle.
• If you need to dispose of the SRS or scrap the
vehicle, contact an approved dealer or quali-
fied workshop. Correct disposal procedures
are set forth in the appropriate maintenance
service manual. Incorrect disposal proce-
dures could cause personal injury.
The supplemental front-impact air bags and pre-
tensioner seat belts (where fitted) are designed to
activate on aone-time-only basis. As areminder,
unless the SRS air bag warning light is damaged,
the SRS air bag warning light remains illuminated
after inflation has occurred. The repair and replace-
ment of the SRS should be done only by an ap-
proved dealer or qualified workshop. When maintenance work is required on the vehicle,
information about the air bags, pre-tensioner seat
belts and related parts should be pointed out to the
