Renault Safety
Safety is a high priority for all of the Renault vehicles within our current range with most models achieving the highest scores in their class with EuroNCAP.
Euro NCAP provides motoring consumers, drivers and the automotive industry with a realistic and independent assessment of the safety performance of some of the most popular cars sold in Europe.
Koleos is now the tenth Renault to be awarded the top 5 star adult occupancy score and follows New Laguna, Clio, Modus, Mégane, Scenic and Espace. With ten cars earning this top score, it's more than any other manufacturer.
Renault commits 100 million euros per year and a staff of 600 to safety-related research and development.
These are some of the features that you will find amongst our current range and an explanation of exactly what they will do for you :-
Protection
It is good to know what`s coming up. Renault creates cars that empower drivers to anticipate and avoid hazards that could have otherwise led to an accident.
Cruise control and speed limiter
None of us are perfect. Cruise control, speed limiter and audible and visible seatbelt reminders help drivers to be more responsible.
Monitors
Monitors, including tyre pressure, warning lights for seatbelts, headlamps and ESP, help drivers to keep an eye on things.
Driver assistance
Being safe is not the same as being boring. Whether it`s automatic headlamps and windscreen wipers, parking sensors or stalk-control Radio/CD-player; we assist drivers with auxiliary tasks so they`re free to concentrate on their driving.
Awareness
To help drivers stay on the ball, features such as bi-xenon headlamps, fixed cornering lights and adaptive cruise control have been designed to give a heightened awareness of the surroundings.
Rain and light sensor
Fitted to the windscreen, the rain and light sensor controls the illumination of the headlights and the activation of the windscreen wipers. It ensures that the driver always has good visibility for safer driving.
Dedicated cornering lights
For perfect visibility and greater safety, additional cornering lights increase the driver`s lateral field of vision when his vehicle is travelling round a bend.
Correction
We all make mistakes, but how can technology help correct human error? Road holding and braking are fundamental to active safety and accident avoidance, so Renault has developed a comprehensive range of supporting technology to ensure our safety when we need a hand.
Anti-lock braking
Anti-lock braking (ABS) with electronic brake distribution (EBD) prevents wheel-lock, even when drivers have to brake hard at the last minute.
Emergency brake assist
Emergency brake assist (EBA) is a clever little thing that boosts braking power by detecting an emergency situation. It can tell just from how fast you hit the brake.
Electronic Stability Programme
Stay in control. Electronic Stability Programme (ESP) keeps your car on the road by acting on the brakes and engine.
ASR Traction Control
ASR Traction Control prevents the drive-wheels from spinning when you pull away.
Variable Power Steering
Variable Power Steering takes the arm-ache out of manoeuvring and maintains maximum precision at main road and motorway speeds.
