Air Fresheners; Floor Mats; Glass; Seat Belts - Renault ALASKAN 2017 Driver's Handbook Manual

AIR FRESHENERS

Most air fresheners use a solvent that could affect
the vehicle interior. If you use an air freshener, take
the following precautions:
•
Hanging-type air fresheners can cause perma-
nent discoloration when they contact vehicle in-
terior surfaces. Place the air freshener in a loca-
tion that allows it to hang free and not contact an
interior surface.
•
Liquid-type air fresheners typically clip on the
vents. These products can cause immediate
damage and discoloration when spilled on inte-
rior surfaces.
Carefully read and follow the manufacturer's instruc-
tions before using air fresheners.

FLOOR MATS

The use of floor mats (where fitted) can extend the
life of your vehicle carpet and make it easier to clean
the interior. Regardless of what mats are used, be
sure they are fitted for your vehicle and are properly
positioned in the foot well to prevent interference
with pedal operation. Mats should be maintained
with regular cleaning and replaced if they become
excessively worn.

Appearance and care
Floor mat positioning aid
Example
This vehicle includes floor mat brackets to act as a
floor mat positioning aid.
Position the mat by placing the floor mat bracket
hook through the floor mat grommet hole while cen-
tering the mat in the foot area.
Periodically check that the mats are properly posi-
tioned.

GLASS

Use glass cleaner to remove smoke and dust film
from the glass surfaces. It is normal for glass to
become coated with a film after the vehicle is parked
in the hot sun. Glass cleaner and a soft cloth will
easily remove this film.
CAUTION
When cleaning the inside of the windows, do not
use sharp-edged tools, abrasive cleaners or chlo-
rine-based disinfectant cleaners. They could
damage the electrical conductors, such as radio
antenna elements or rear window defogger ele-
ments.

SEAT BELTS

WARNING
•
Do not allow wet seat belts to roll up in the
retractor.
•
Never use bleach, dye or chemical solvents to

a sponge dampened in a mild soap solution.
Allow the belts to dry completely in the shade before
using them. (See "Seat belts" in the "1. Safety —
