Active driver assist combines intelligent adaptive cruise control with the Stop & Go system and lane centering. It regulates the speed according to the road conditions, maintains a safe driving distance, and keeps you centered in your lane. In slow traffic, Renault Rafale stops and restarts automatically and temporarily creates a safe passage for emergency vehicles.

hands-free parking*

Whether parking at an angle, perpendicularly, or in parallel, hands-free parking is a major advantage. After detecting that there is a big enough parking space for Renault Rafale, it sets the vehicle’s trajectory and then takes control of the steering. You retain control of the accelerator and braking.

active emergency braking
active emergency braking

With the help of the sensor, the system warns the driver any potential collisions, whether with pedestrians, cyclists, or motorcyclists. It does this by calculating the distance between Renault Rafale and the vehicle in front. The driver can then apply the brakes, but if the system still detects a risk of collision, the brake force is increased. If the driver fails to react, the system applies the brakes automatically.

At intersections, the system calculates the distance between Renault Rafale and oncoming or intersecting vehicles, alerting the driver in the event of a potential collision. The driver can then apply the brakes, but if the system still detects a risk of collision, the brake force is increased. If the driver fails to react, the system applies the brakes automatically.
