divided into 3 categories

  

advanced driver-assistance systems

The advanced driver-assistance systems use cutting-edge technologies (sensors, software, cameras, etc.) to help make your drive easier and safer. They focus on three key areas:

 

 

  • Safety: road condition analysis, risk alerts, and intervention in case of danger. 
  • Driving: assistance for a smoother, safer, more serene experience.
  • Parking: manoeuvring aids to protect the vehicle and its surroundings.

safety features

Renault continuously pushes the boundaries of innovation in safety: 

  • by relying on a dedicated research and development lab for cutting-edge safety systems.
  • through a unique collaboration with the fire service. It has already filed over 2,000 patents for solutions like Renault QRescue, Fireman Access and SD Switch.
Prevents the risk of multi-vehicle collisions by automatically activating the brakes after a collision. The system helps prevent or mitigate the severity of a secondary collision that may occur if you lose control of Renault 4.
In the event of an accident, Renault QRescue saves the emergency services response time. By simply scanning a QR code placed as standard on the front and rear windscreens of Renault 4, they can quickly access the vehicle’s technical information.
The safety score evaluates your driving with Renault 4 based on data (speed, trajectory, safety distances) collected during your journey. At the end of each trip, it presents a score ranging from 0 to 100 and offers personalised tips to make your driving safer.

passive safety

Renault has been a key player in road safety for over 50 years. Continuously innovating and improving the passive safety of its models, the company remains committed to ensuring better protection for passengers in the event of a collision.

    • airbags

      For optimal protection in the event of a collision, Renault 4 is equipped with 6 airbags in the cabin: front airbags for the driver and front passenger, curtain side airbags covering both front and rear seats, and front side airbags.

    • anti-deformation structure

      The structure’s materials are designed to offer high energy absorption capacity, reducing the risk of severe structural deformation in the event of frontal, rear or side impact.

    • battery built into the structure

      Renault 4’s battery is directly integrated into its structure. This design enhances protection in the event of a collision, while increasing the overall rigidity of the vehicle.

    • Fix4 Sure

      A Renault solution that prevents occupants from slipping under their seatbelt in the event of a frontal collision (submarining). This is achieved through the low positioning of the seat belt buckles and a special seat frame design.

Always follow road safety regulations. It is your responsibility to stay alert, drive safely, remain alert of immediate surroundings and be in control of the vehicle at all times. Driver assistance features have speed and other limitations and should not be solely relied on. For more information, please refer to the owner’s manual or visit renault.co.uk/safety.
