Renault Alaskan (2017 year). Instruction - part 10

This symbol indicates that the vents are

closed. Moving the control to this

direction will close the vents.

This symbol indicates that the vents are

open. Moving the control to this direc-

tion will open the vents.

Adjust the air flow direction of the vents by moving

the centre knob (up/down, left/right) until the de-

sired position is achieved.

WARNING

•

The heater and air conditioner operate only

when the engine is running.

•

Never leave children or adults who would nor-

mally require the support of others alone in

the vehicle. Pets should not be left alone ei-

ther. They could unknowingly activate

switches or controls, or move the vehicle, and

inadvertently become involved in a serious ac-

cident and injure themselves. On hot, sunny

days, temperatures in a closed vehicle could

quickly become high enough to cause severe

or possibly fatal injuries to people or animals.

•

Do not use the recirculation mode for long

periods as it may cause the interior air to be-

come stale and the windows to fog up.

•

Do not adjust the heating and air conditioning

controls while driving so that full attention may

be given to vehicle operation.

The heater and air conditioner operate when the

engine is running. The air blower will operate even if

the engine is turned off and the ignition switch is

placed in the ON position.
NOTE

•

Condensation forms inside the air condition-

ing unit when the air conditioner (where fit-

ted) is running, and is safely discharged un-

derneath your vehicle.
Traces of water on the ground are therefore

normal.

•

Odours from inside and outside the vehicle

can build up in the air conditioner unit. Odour

can enter the passenger compartment

through the vents.

•

When parking, set the heater and air condi-

tioner controls to turn off air recirculation to

allow fresh air into the passenger compart-

ment. This should help reduce odours inside

the vehicle.

OPERATING TIPS (models with

automatic air conditioner)

When the engine coolant temperature and outside

air temperature are low, the air flow from the foot

outlets may not operate. However, this is not a mal-

function. After the coolant temperature warms up,

the air flow from the foot outlets will operate nor-

mally.

The sensors

A and

B , located on the instrument

panel, help maintain a constant temperature. Do not

put anything on or around the sensors.

SERVICING AIR CONDITIONER

WARNING

The air conditioner system contains refrigerant

under high pressure. To avoid personal injury,

any air conditioner service should be done only

by an experienced technician with the proper

equipment.
The air conditioner system in your vehicle is charged

with a refrigerant designed with the environment in

mind.

This refrigerant will not harm the earth’s ozone

layer. However, it may contribute in a small part to

global warming.
Special charging equipment and lubricant are re-

quired when servicing your vehicle’s air conditioner.

Using improper refrigerants or lubricants will cause

severe damage to the air conditioner system. (See

“Recommended fluids/lubricants and capacities” in

the “9. Technical information” section.)
An approved dealer or qualified workshop will be

able to service your environmentally friendly air con-

ditioner system.

virtually no perceptible loss in quality. MP3 com-

pression removes the redundant and irrelevant

parts of a sound signal that the human ear

doesn’t hear.

•

WMA — Windows Media Audio (WMA) is a

compressed audio format created by Microsoft

as an alternative to MP3. The WMA codec offers

greater file compression than the MP3 codec,

enabling storage of more digital audio tracks in

the same amount of space when compared to

MP3s at the same level of quality.

•

AAC (where fitted) — Advanced Audio Coding

(AAC) is a compressed audio format. AAC of-

fers greater file compression than MP3 and en-

ables music file creation and storage at the same

quality as MP3.

•

Bit rate — Bit rate denotes the number of bits

per second used by a digital music files. The size

and quality of a compressed digital audio file is

determined by the bit rate used when encoding

the file.

•

Sampling frequency — Sampling frequency is

the rate at which the samples of a signal are con-

verted from analog to digital (A/D conversion)

per second.

•

Multisession — Multisession is one of the meth-

ods for writing data to media. Writing data once

to the media is called a single session, and writ-

ing more than once is called a multisession.
