Renault 4

advanced driver-assistance systems

The advanced driver-assistance systems use cutting-edge technologies (sensors, software, cameras, etc.) to 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.

driver-assistance systems

speed limiter

To avoid speeding, simply set your desired speed limit, and let your Renault 4 keep you safely within the limit
cruise control

Keep your Renault 4 steady at your desired speed, perfect for a more relaxed drive on the motorway.
adaptive cruise control with Stop & Go feature

It adjusts Renault 4’s speed according to your preferences and the traffic. The cruise control applies the brakes, coming to a complete stop if needed, when the distance from the vehicle in front is too short, and accelerates when the road is clear.
intelligent adaptive cruise control

In addition to the adaptive cruise control, it analyses road conditions (such as dangerous bends, roundabouts, etc.) to proactively adjust Renault 4’s speed.
active driver assist

The intelligent adaptive cruise control works with lane centering to adjust speed based on traffic, maintain safe distances, and keep you centred in your lane. If traffic slows down, Renault 4 stops, and starts again automatically when the lane is clear.
distance warning

The front radar sensor calculates the safe distance between Renault 4 and the vehicle in front. If this distance is too short and there is a risk of collision, the system triggers an audible and visual alert.
hill start assist

Hill start assist activates when you start on a slope greater than 3%. The brakes on your Renault 4 are held for 2 seconds, giving you time to accelerate without the risk of rolling back.

park assist

rear park assist

Renault 4’s rear sensors trigger audible and visual warnings to indicate the presence of any obstacles behind the vehicle.
front park assist

The front radar sensors trigger both audible and visual warnings when obstacles are detected in front of your Renault 4.
side park assist

As you manoeuvre your Renault 4, the sensors use a combination of audible and visual alerts to warn you of obstacles to the side of the vehicle.
rear view camera

When you put your Renault 4 into reverse, the camera displays a rear view of your surroundings on the screen. Guiding lines make your manoeuvres easier and safer.
hand free parking

The system locates a suitable parking spot, then takes the wheel and controls the steering. You maintain control of the speed while your Renault 4 parks itself with ease.
rear cross traffic alert

Poor rear visibility or blind spots? The Renault 4 system alerts you if you’re getting too close to an obstacle you can’t see.

safety systems

blind spot warning

The system warns you of vehicles in your blind spot (above 15 km/h) with a light signal in the wing mirror of your Renault 4.
traffic sign recognition with speed alert

The system detects traffic signs and displays speed limit changes on the openR screen. It alerts you if you exceed the speed limit.
active emergency braking

If the system detects a risk of collision with pedestrians, cyclists or vehicles, it automatically applies the brakes to stop your Renault 4.
intersection automatic emergency braking system

It warns of the risk of imminent collision with oncoming vehicles, for example, when making a left turn at a junction. If danger persists without a response, it automatically applies Renault 4’s brakes.
lane departure warning

If you unintentionally cross a solid or broken line, the system alerts you by vibrating the steering wheel.
active lane keeping assist system

If you cross a solid or broken line without indicating, the system gently steers your Renault 4 back into its lane.
front and rear detection with emergency trajectory correction

If the system detects a collision risk with a vehicle overtaking Renault 4 or approaching head-on while you’re changing lanes, it alerts you and immediately adjusts your trajectory.
rear automatic emergency braking system

Renault 4 detects obstacles behind you during manoeuvres. If a collision is imminent, the system automatically brakes to prevent or reduce the impact, enhancing safety when reversing.
safe exit of occupants

Renault 4 alerts passengers when opening a door poses a danger (vehicles, cyclists). Using sensors, it analyses the surroundings and warns of any potential risk, ensuring enhanced safety.
driver attention alert

Renault 4 monitors signs of fatigue or inattention from the driver using sensors and behaviour analysis. If it detects reduced alertness, it triggers a warning to encourage breaks, ensuring safer driving.

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 QRescue, Fireman Access and SD Switch.

automatic braking

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.

Qrescue

In the event of an accident, QRescue saves the emergency services up to 15 minutes of 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.

safety score

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

Pour une protection optimale en cas de collision, Renault 4 dispose de 6 airbags dans l’habitacle : airbags frontaux pour le conducteur et le passager avant, airbags latéraux rideaux couvrant les places avant et arrière, et airbags latéraux avant.

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.

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.
