2017 RENAULT ALASKAN Owners Manual

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

REPAIR AND REPLACEMENT
PROCEDURE WARNING
• Once the supplemental front-impact air bags
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
person performing the maintenance. The ignition
switch should always be in the “LOCK” position
when working under the bonnet or inside the ve-
hicle.

WARNING LIGHTS Anti-lock Braking System (ABS)
warning light (where fitted)
When the ignition switch is in the ON position, the
Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) warning light illumi- nates and then turns off. This indicates the ABS is
operational. If the ABS warning light illuminates while the engine
is running, or while driving, it may indicate the ABS
is not functioning properly. Have the system
checked by an approved dealer or qualified work-
shop promptly.
If an ABS malfunction occurs, the anti-lock function
is turned off. The brake system then operates nor-
mally, but without anti-lock assistance. (See “Anti-
lock Braking System (ABS)” in the “5. Starting and
driving” section.)
While the differential lock (where fitted) is en-
gaged, the ABS warning light illuminates. This
indicates that the anti-lock function is not fully
operating. (See “Rear differential locking system
(where fitted)” in the “5. Starting and driving” sec-
tion for the rear differential lock function.) Automatic Transmission (AT)
check warning light (AT model)
When the ignition switch is in the ON position, the
Automatic Transmission (AT) check warning light
illuminates and then turns off. This indicates that the
AT is operational.
If the AT check warning light illuminates while the
engine is running, or while driving, it may indicate
that the AT is not functioning properly and may need
servicing. Have the system checked, and if neces-
sary repaired, by an approved dealer or qualified
workshop promptly. Automatic Transmission (AT) oil
temperature warning light (AT
model)
This light illuminates when the Automatic Transmis-
sion (AT) oil temperature is too high. If the light illu-
minates while driving, reduce the vehicle speed as
soon as safely possible until the light turns off.
CAUTION
Continued vehicle operation when the AT oil tem-
perature warning light is on may damage the AT. Automatic Transmission (AT)
park warning light (AT model)
This light indicates that the Automatic Transmission
(AT) parking function is not engaged. If the transfer
control is not secured in any driving position while
the AT shift lever is in the P(Park) position, the
transmission will disengage and the wheels will not
lock.
For 4WD model: If the ATP warning light illumi-
nates with the shift lever in the P(Park) position,
shift the Four-Wheel Drive (4WD) mode switch to
the 2WD, 4H or 4LO position again with the shift
