Electronic Stability Programme (Esp) System (Where Fitted) - Renault ALASKAN 2017 Driver's Handbook Manual

After using the rear differential lock, or when resum-
ing normal driving, push the differential lock mode
switch to the OFF position. The differential lock indi-
cator light will turn off after the differential lock is
released.
NOTE
•
The rear differential lock-up device operates
only when the engine is running.
•
In 4H mode, the rear differential lock-up de-
vice does not operate when the differential
lock mode switch is turned to the "ON" posi-
tion. (The differential lock indicator light will
flash.)
WARNING
•
Use the rear differential lock only in an emer-
gency when it is not possible to free a stuck
vehicle even using the 4LO position.
•
When the differential lock is in operation, turn-
ing the vehicle becomes hard and, especially
at high speeds, is dangerous.
•
While differential lock is on, the Anti-lock
Braking System (ABS) warning light and the
Electronic Stability Programme (ESP) off indi-
cator light illuminate. This indicates that anti-
lock function may not fully operate.
•
Do not operate the differential lock when the
vehicle is turning or when one side wheel is
rotating. Otherwise the power train system
parts could be damaged.
•
Avoid quick starts while the differential lock is
in operation. Otherwise the power train sys-
tem parts could be damaged.
Observe the above precautions. Otherwise, loss
of normal steering control may result.
ELECTRONIC STABILITY
PROGRAMME (ESP) SYSTEM
(where fitted)
WARNING
•
The Electronic Stability Programme (ESP) sys-
tem is designed to help the driver maintain
stability but does not prevent accidents due
to abrupt steering operation at high speeds or
by careless or dangerous driving techniques.
Reduce vehicle speed and be especially care-
ful when driving and cornering on slippery sur-
faces and always drive carefully.
•
Do not modify the vehicle's suspension. If
suspension parts such as shock absorbers,
struts, springs, stabiliser bars, bushings and
wheels are not recommended by RENAULT
for your vehicle or are extremely deteriorated,
the ESP system may not operate properly.
This could adversely affect vehicle handling
performance, and the ESP warning light
may illuminate.
•
If brake related parts such as brake pads, ro-
tors and callipers are not RENAULT-recom-
mended or are extremely deteriorated, the
ESP system may not operate properly and the
ESP warning light may illuminate.
•
If engine control related parts are not
RENAULT recommended or are extremely de-
teriorated, the ESP warning light
minate.
