2017 RENAULT ALASKAN brake sensor

•
When
aspare tyre is mounted or
awheel is
replaced, the TPMS will not function and the
low tyre pressure warning light will flash for
approximately 1minute. The light will remain
on after 1minute. Contact an approved dealer
or qualified workshop as soon as possible for
tyre replacement and/or system resetting.
• Replacing tyres with those not originally speci-
fied by RENAULT could affect the proper op-
eration of the TPMS.
CAUTION
• The TPMS is not
asubstitute for the regular
tyre pressure check. Be sure to check the tyre
pressure regularly.
• If the vehicle is being driven at speeds of less
than 25 km/h (16 MPH), the TPMS may not
operate correctly.
• Be sure to install the specified size of tyres to
all four wheels correctly. Low washer fluid warning light
(where fitted)
The low washer fluid warning light illuminates when
the washer fluid in the reservoir is at alow level. Add
washer fluid as necessary. (See “Window washer
fluid” in the “8. Maintenance and do-it-yourself” sec-
tion.) Malfunction warning light (red)
(where fitted)
When the ignition switch is placed in the ON posi-
tion, the malfunction warning light illuminates in red.
This means that the system is operational. After
starting the engine, the warning light turns off.
For the orange Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL),
see “Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL)” later in this
section for details.
If the malfunction warning light (red) illuminates con-
tinuously while the engine is running, it may indicate
an engine control system malfunction. Have your
vehicle inspected by an approved dealer or qualified
workshop. You do not need to have your vehicle
towed to the dealer.

•
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.
5-34 Starting and driving

ELECTRONIC STABILITY
PROGRAMME (ESP) OFF SWITCH
The vehicle should be driven with the Electronic
Stability Programme (ESP) system ON for most
driving conditions.
When the vehicle is stuck in mud or snow, the ESP
system reduces the engine output to reduce wheel spin. The engine speed will be reduced even if the
accelerator is depressed to the floor. If maximum
engine power is needed to free astuck vehicle, turn
the ESP system off.
To turn off the Electronic Stability Programme (ESP)
system, push the ESP OFF switch. The ESP off
indicator light will illuminate.
Push the ESP OFF switch again or restart the en-
gine to turn on the Electronic Stability Programme
(ESP) system. The Active Emergency Braking system can assist
the driver when there is
arisk of aforward collision
with the vehicle ahead in the travelling lane.
The Active Emergency Braking system uses aradar
sensor ➀located at the front of the vehicle to mea-
sure the distance to the vehicle ahead in the travel-
ling lane. WARNING
• The Active Emergency Braking system is a
supplemental aid to the driver. It is not are-
placement for the driver’s attention to traffic
conditions or responsibility to drive safely. It
cannot prevent accidents due to carelessness
or dangerous driving techniques.
• The Active Emergency Braking system does
not function in all driving, traffic, weather and
road conditions. SYSTEM OPERATION
The Active Emergency Braking system will function
when your vehicle is driven at speeds above ap-
proximately
5km/h (3 MPH).
If ar isk of aforward collision is detected, the Active
Emergency Braking system will provide the first
warning to the driver by flashing the forward colli-
sion warning light (orange) and providing an audible
warning.
If the driver applies the brakes quickly and forcefully
after the warning, and the Active Emergency Brak-
ing system detects that there is still the possibility of
af orward collision, the system will automatically in-
crease the braking force.
If the driver does not take action, the Active Emer-
gency Braking system issues the second visual
warning (red) and audible warning. If the driver re-
leases the accelerator pedal, then the system ap-
plies partial braking
If the risk of acollision becomes imminent, the Ac-
tive Emergency Braking system applies harder brak-
ing automatically. SSD1 149Z

Overview of warnings
NOTE
The vehicle’s brake lights come on when braking
is performed by the Active Emergency Braking
system.
Depending on vehicle speed and distance to the
vehicle ahead, as well as driving and roadway con-
ditions, the system may help the driver avoid afor-
ward collision or may help mitigate the
consequences if acollision should one be unavoid-
able.
If the driver is handling the steering wheel, acceler-
ating or braking, the Active Emergency Braking sys-
tem will function later or will not function.
The automatic braking will cease under the follow-
ing conditions:
• When the steering wheel is turned as far as nec-
essary to avoid acollision.
• When the accelerator pedal is depressed. •
When there is no longer
avehicle detected
ahead.
If the Active Emergency Braking system has
stopped the vehicle, the vehicle will remain at a
standstill for approximately 2seconds before the
brakes are released. WARNING
• The radar sensor does not detect the follow-
ing objects:
–P edestrians, animals or obstacles in the
roadway
–O ncoming vehicles
–C rossing vehicles
• The radar sensor has some performance limi-
tations. If
astationary vehicle is in the vehi-
cle’s path, the Active Emergency Braking sys-
tem will not function when the vehicle is driven
at speeds over approximately 70 km/h (44
MPH).
• The radar sensor may not detect
avehicle
ahead in the following conditions:
–D irt, ice, snow or other material covering
the radar sensor.
–I nterference by other radar sources.
–S now or road spray from travelling
vehicles.
–I fthe vehicle ahead is narrow (e.g. motor-
cycle). –W
hen driving on asteep downhill slope or
roads with sharp curves.
–W hen towing atrailer.
• In some road or traffic conditions, the Active
Emergency Braking system may unexpectedly
apply partial braking. When acceleration is
necessary, continue to depress the accelera-
tor pedal to override the system.
• Braking distances increase on slippery sur-
faces.
• Excessive noise will interfere with the warn-
ing chime sound, and the chime may not be
heard.
• The system is designed to automatically
check the sensor’s functionality, within cer-
tain limitations. The system may not detect
some forms of obstruction of the sensor area
of the front bumper such as ice, snow, stick-
ers, for example. In these cases, the system
may not be able to warn the driver properly.
Be sure that you check, clean and clear the
sensor area of the front bumper regularly
