"The anticipator function detects all dangers and watches over your safety": computer-generated images of a driving simulator. Images of vehicles driving in an urban area to which are added the order to give way to a truck and vehicle speed.

 

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.
