Renault ALASKAN 2017 Driver's Handbook Manual page 263

NOTE
Use the power socket located on the lower
part of the cockpit .
7. Check the specified tyre pressure on the tyre
placard that is affixed to the driver's side centre
pillar.
8. Place the ignition switch in the ACC position.
Then turn the compressor switch to the ON (−)
position and inflate the tyre up to the pressure
that is specified on the tyre placard affixed to the
driver's side centre pillar if possible, or to the
minimum of 180 kPa (1.8 bar, 26 psi), for tyre
205R16 250 kPa (2.5 bar, 36 psi). Turn the air
compressor off briefly in order to check the tyre
pressure with the pressure gauge.
If the tyre is inflated to higher than the specified
pressure, adjust the tyre pressure by releasing
air with the pressure release valve. The cold tyre
pressures are shown on the tyre placard affixed
to the driver's side centre pillar.
WARNING
To avoid serious personal injury while using
the emergency tyre puncture repair kit.
•
Securely tighten the compressor hose to
the tyre valve. Failure to do so can cause
the sealant to spray into the air and get
into your eyes or on your skin.
•
Do not stand directly beside the damaged
NCE479
tyre while it is being inflated because of
the risk of rupture. If there are any cracks
or bumps, turn the compressor off imme-
diately.
CAUTION
•
Do not operate the compressor for more
than 10 minutes. If the tyre pressure does
not increase to the specified pressure
within 10 minutes, the tyre may be seri-
ously damaged and the tyre cannot be re-
paired with this tyre repair kit. Contact an
approved dealer or qualified workshop.
9. When the tyre pressure is at the specified value,
close the pressure release valve and turn the air
compressor off. If the pressure cannot be in-
flated to the specified value, the air compressor
can be turned off at the minimum of 180 kPa (1,8
bar, 26 psi) for tyre 205R16 250 kPa (2,5 bar, 36
psi). Remove the power plug from the power
outlet and quickly remove the hose from the tyre
valve. Attach the protective cap and valve cap.
Properly stow the emergency tyre puncture re-
pair kit in the storage location.
WARNING
To avoid serious personal injury when stowing
the emergency tyre puncture repair kit, keep the
sealant bottle screwed into the compressor. Fail-
ure to do so can cause the sealant to spray into
the air and get into your eyes or on the skin.
10. Immediately drive the vehicle for 10 minutes or
3–10 km (2–6 miles) (if the road situation al-
lows) at a speed of 80 km/h (50 MPH) or less.
11. After driving 10 km (6 miles), or 10 minutes,
screw the air tube of the air compressor se-
curely onto the tyre valve. Check the tyre pres-
sure with the pressure gauge.
The temporary repair is completed if the tyre
pressure does not drop.
Make sure the pressure is adjusted to the pres-
sure that is specified on the tyre placard before
driving.
If the tyre pressure drops under 130 kPa (19
psi):
The tyre cannot be repaired with this tyre punc-
ture repair kit. Contact an approved dealer or quali-
fied workshop.
If the tyre pressure is 130 kPa (19 psi) or more
but less than the specified pressure:
Turn the compressor switch to the ON (−) position
and inflate the tyre up to the specified pressure.
Then repeat the step from 8.
