Prevention
Prevention involves alerting the driver to any type of anomaly likely to lead to a situation of risk. Information, alarms that are communicated in visual or sound form, or even both together encourage the dirver to modify his behaviour.
Accident prevention means enabling drivers to foresee risks and adapt their behavior accordingly.
Renault vehicles are fitted with two accident prevention systems:
- systems to prompt the driver into action when a risk arises (buzzers, warning lights, etc.);
- systems to make driving easier thus enabling the driver to concentrate fully on the road.
Audible seat belt reminder (SBR)
The SBR warns the driver that the seat belt is not properly fastened.
Automatic headlights and wipers
By taking care of routine operations like switching the headligthts or wipers on, automatic systems help the driver concentrate exclusively on the road.
Additional cornering lights
Visibility on winding roads is improved by illuminating the insides of curves.
Xenon and bi-xenon headlights
Powerful long-range headlights make night driving easier and safer.
Tire pressure monitoring system
This system, developed in partnership with Michelin, warns the driver of tire incidents such as underinflation and punctures.
