Electronic Stability - Renault ALASKAN 2017 Driver's Handbook Manual

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 a stuck 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.
ACTIVE EMERGENCY BRAKING
SYSTEM (where fitted)
The Active Emergency Braking system can assist
the driver when there is a risk of a forward collision
with the vehicle ahead in the travelling lane.
SSD1149Z
The Active Emergency Braking system uses a radar
sensor located 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 a re-
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 5 km/h (3 MPH).
If a risk of a forward 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
NIC3103
a forward 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 a collision becomes imminent, the Ac-
tive Emergency Braking system applies harder brak-
ing automatically.
