2017 RENAULT ALASKAN ECU

With the ignition switch in the ON position, push the
button or move the shift lever to the R
(Reverse) position to operate the 360° Camera. The
monitor displays various views of the position of the
vehicle.
NOTE
At first operation, the corner lines are blinking
yellow for about 3seconds. This is not amalfunc-
tion but areminder to be cautious.
Available views:
• Bird’s-eye View
The surrounding view of the vehicle.
• Front-side View
The view around and ahead of the front passen-
ger’s side wheel.
• Front view
The view to the front of the vehicle.
• Rear view
The view to the rear of the vehicle.
The system is designed as an aid to the driver in
situations such as slot parking or parallel parking. There are some areas where the system will not
show objects. When in the front or the rear view dis-
play, an object below the bumper or on the ground
may not be viewed
➀.W
hen in the bird’s-eye view,
at all object near the seam of the camera viewing
areas will not appear in the monitor ➁. WARNING
• The 360° Camera is intended for day time use.
Do not use the system in bad light conditions.
• The 360° Camera is
aconvenience feature. It
is not asubstitute for proper vehicle opera-
tion because it has areas where objects can-
not be viewed. The four corners of the vehicle
in particular, are blind spots where objects do
not appear in the bird’s-eye, front or rear
views. Always look out the windows and check
to be sure that it is safe to move. The driver is
always responsible for safety during parking
and other manoeuvres.
• Do not use the 360° Camera with the outside
mirror in the stored position, and make sure
that the tailgate is securely closed when op-
erating the vehicle using the 360° Camera.
• The distance between objects viewed on the
360° Camera differs from the actual distance.
• The cameras are installed on the front grille,
the outside mirrors and above the rear num-
ber plate. Do not put anything on the cam-
eras.
• When washing the vehicle with high-pressure
water, be sure not to spray it around the cam-
eras. Otherwise, water may enter the camera
unit causing water condensation on the lens,
am alfunction, fire or an electric shock. NAA1864

WARNING
• Never leave children or adults who would nor-
mally require the support of others alone in
your vehicle. Pets should not be left alone
either. They could unknowingly activate
switches or controls, or move the vehicle, and
inadvertently become involved in aserious ac-
cident and injure themselves. On hot, sunny
days, temperatures in aclosed vehicle could
quickly become high enough to cause severe
or possibly fatal illness to people or animals.
• Properly secure all cargo to help prevent it
from sliding or shifting. Do not place cargo
higher than the seatbacks. In
asudden stop
or collision, unsecured cargo could cause per-
sonal injury.
NOTE
During the first few months after purchasing a
new vehicle, if you smell strong odours of Vola-
tile Organic Compounds (VOCs) inside the ve-
hicle, ventilate the passenger compartment thor-
oughly. Open all the windows before entering or
while in the vehicle. In addition, when the tem-
perature in the passenger compartment rises, or
when the vehicle is parked in direct sunlight for a
period of time, turn off the air recirculation mode
of the air conditioner and/or open the windows
to allow sufficient fresh air into the passenger
compartment. EXHAUST GAS (carbon monoxide) WARNING
• Do not breathe exhaust gas; it contains co-
lourless and odourless carbon monoxide. Car-
bon monoxide is dangerous. It can cause un-
consciousness or death.
• If you suspect that exhaust fumes are enter-
ing the vehicle, drive with all windows fully
open, and have the vehicle inspected imme-
diately.
• Do not run the engine in closed spaces such
as
ag arage.
• Do not park the vehicle with the engine run-
ning for an extended period of time.
• If electrical wiring or other cable connections
must pass to
atrailer through the seal of the
body, follow the manufacturer’s recommen-
dations to prevent carbon monoxide entry into
the vehicle.
• If
as pecial body or other equipment is added
for recreational or other usage, follow the
manufacturer’s recommendation to prevent
carbon monoxide entry into the vehicle.
(Some recreational vehicle appliances such
as stoves, refrigerators, heaters, etc. may also
generate carbon monoxide.)
• The exhaust system and body should be in-
spected by
aqualified mechanic whenever:
–Y our vehicle is raised while being serviced. –Y
ou suspect that exhaust fumes are enter-
ing into the passenger compartment.
–Y ou notice achange in the sound of the
exhaust system.
–Y ou have had an accident involving dam-
age to the exhaust system, underbody, or
rear of the vehicle.
AdBlue® SELECTIVE CATALYTIC
REDUCTION (SCR) SYSTEM (where
fitted for diesel engine model)
AdBlue® or Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF), is anon-
toxic solution of 32.5% urea in de-ionized water.
This fluid is sprayed into the exhaust system of die-
sel vehicles to cause achemical reaction that breaks
down potentially dangerous NOx (nitrogen oxides)
emissions into harmless nitrogen and water. This
system is called Selective Catalytic Reduction
(SCR). AdBlue® fluid is not afuel additive and is
never mixed with diesel fuel. It is always stored in a
separate tank on the vehicle.
AdBlue® will begin to freeze below -11°C (12°F). If
you often drive in areas where the temperature is
below -11°C (12°F), the AdBlue® tank should al-
ways be filled with AdBlue® at the beginning of the
cold season to ensure enough defrosting capacity with heating.
PRECAUTIONS WHEN STARTING
AND DRIVING
Starting and driving5-3

•
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.

Unlocking the steering wheel
1) Insert the key into the ignition switch.
2) Gently turn the ignition switch while rotating the steering wheel left and right. PRECAUTIONS ON PUSH-BUTTON
IGNITION SWITCH OPERATION WARNING
Do not operate the push-button ignition switch
while driving the vehicle except in an emergency.
(The engine will stop when the ignition switch is
pushed 3consecutive times or the ignition switch
is pushed and held for more than 2seconds.)
The steering wheel may lock and could cause
the driver to lose control of the vehicle. This could
result in serious vehicle damage or personal in-
jury.
REMOTE CONTROL KEY SYSTEM
The Remote Control Key system can operate the
ignition switch without taking the key out from your
pocket or bag. The operating environment and/or
conditions may affect the Remote Control Key sys-
tem operation.
Some indicators and warnings for operation are dis-
played in the vehicle information display and/or in
the meter. (See “Warning lights, indicator lights and
audible reminders” in the “2. Instruments and
controls” section and “Vehicle information display”
in the “2. Instruments and controls” section.)
CAUTION
• Be sure to carry the Remote Control Key with
you when operating the vehicle.
• Never leave the Remote Control Key inside
the vehicle when you leave the vehicle. •
If the vehicle battery is discharged, the igni-
tion switch cannot be switched from the
“LOCK” position, and if the steering lock is
engaged, the steering wheel cannot be
moved. Charge the battery as soon as pos-
sible. (See “Remote Control Key battery
replacement” in the “8. Maintenance and
do-it-yourself” section.)
Operating range
The Remote Control Key can only be used for start-
ing the engine when the Remote Control Key is
within the specified operating range ➀as illus-
trated.
When the Remote Control Key battery is almost dis-
charged or strong radio waves are present near the
operating location, the Remote Control Key sys-
tem’s operating range becomes narrower and may
not function properly.

The speed limiter allows you to set the desired ve-
hicle speed limit. While the speed limiter is acti-
vated, you can perform normal braking and accel-
eration, but the vehicle will not exceed the set speed.
When the vehicle reaches the set speed limit or if
the set speed limit is lower than the actual vehicle
speed, the accelerator pedal will not work until the
vehicle speed drops below the set speed limit.
When the actual vehicle speed exceeds the set
speed, an audible warning will be heard ashort time
after the set speed is exceeded and driver interven-
tion is not detected.
When the speed limiter is on the cruise control sys-
tem cannot be operated. WARNING
• The speed limiter will not automatically brake
the vehicle to the set speed limit.
• Always observe posted speed limits. Do not
set the speed above them.
• Always confirm the setting status of the speed
limiter in the vehicle information display.
• When the speed limiter is set, avoid hard ac-
celeration to reach the set limit to ensure that
the system can limit the speed of the vehicle
correctly.
• When additional floor mats are used, be sure
that they are correctly secured and that they
cannot interfere with the accelerator pedal. Mats not adapted to the vehicle may prevent
proper operation of the speed limiter.
The speed limiter operation switches are located on
the steering wheel (right hand side).
The speed limiter operating condition is shown on
the top of vehicle information display. For details,
see “Vehicle information display” in the “2. Instru-
ments and controls” section.

Starting and driving 5-43

When leaving your vehicle unoccupied:
• Always take the key with you
-even when leav-
ing the vehicle in your own garage.
• Close all windows completely and lock all doors.
• Always park your vehicle where it can be seen.
Park in
awell lit area during the night.
• If the security system is equipped, use it
-even
for ashort period.
• Never leave children or pets in the vehicle unat-
tended.
• Never leave valuables inside the vehicle. Always
take valuables with you.
• Never leave the vehicle documents in the ve-
hicle.
• Never leave articles on
aroof rail. Remove them
from the rack and keep and lock them inside the
vehicle.
• Never leave the spare key in the vehicle. WARNING
If the engine is not running or is turned off while
driving, the power assist for the steering will not
work. The steering will be much harder to oper-
ate.
The power assisted steering is designed to use a
hydraulic pump driven by the engine, to assist steer-
ing.
If the engine stops or the drive belt breaks, you will
still have control of the vehicle. However, greater
steering effort is needed, especially in sharp turns
and at low speeds. The brake system has two separate hydraulic cir-
cuits. If one circuit malfunctions, you will still have
braking ability at two wheels.
BRAKE PRECAUTIONS
Vacuum assisted brakes
The brake booster aids braking by using engine
vacuum. If the engine stops, you can stop the ve-
hicle by depressing the footbrake pedal. However,
greater foot pressure on the footbrake pedal will be
required to stop the vehicle. The stopping distance
will be longer.
If the engine is not running or is turned off while driv-
ing, the power assisted brakes will not function.
Braking will be harder. WARNING
Do not coast with the engine stopped.
Using brakes
Avoid resting your foot on the footbrake pedal while
driving. This will overheat the brakes, wear out the
brake linings/pads faster, and increase fuel con-
sumption.
To help reduce brake wear and to prevent the brakes
from overheating, reduce speed and downshift to a
lower gear before going down aslope or long grade.
Overheated brakes may reduce braking perfor-
mance and could result in loss of vehicle control.
