Renault 5

divided into 3 categories

advanced driver-assistance systems

Advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) are intelligent systems that rely on advanced technologies (radars, software, cameras, etc.) to assist the driver on journeys, making driving simpler and safer. They can be divided into 3 main categories:

driving: various technologies make driving easier and safer, for greater peace of mind
parking: systems make manoeuvres easier, while protecting the vehicle and its environment
safety: the systems analyse driving conditions, warn the driver of any risks and take action if danger is imminent

driver-assistance systems

speed limiter

It helps prevent speeding on the road. You set the maximum speed limit and Renault 5 ensures it is respected.
cruise control

It keeps Renault 5 at the desired speed so you can enjoy comfortable motorway driving.
adaptive cruise control

It adjusts Renault 5's speed according to your preferences and traffic. The cruise control applies the brakes 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 5's speed.
active driver assist

The system combines intelligent adaptive cruise control with the Stop & Go feature and lane centering. It adjusts Renault 5’s speed according to the traffic, maintaining a safe distance, and ensures you keep to your lane. If traffic slows down, Renault 5 stops, and starts again automatically when the lane is clear.
distance warning

system triggers an audible and visual alert.
hill start assist

The system activates when Renault 5 needs to start on a slope greater than 3%. The brake is then maintained for 2 seconds to allow acceleration without the risk of rolling backwards.
switch between main/ dipped beam headlights

The system analyses light conditions and traffic around Renault 5, automatically switching between main beam and dipped beam to enhance driving comfort.
eco-driving assistant

It analyses the road ahead (curves, roundabouts, etc.) and displays a specific icon when it is the ideal time to ease off the accelerator. Objective: to reach the correct speed while reducing fuel consumption without disrupting the smoothness of the journey.

park assist

rear park assist

Renault 5’s rear sensors trigger audible and visual warnings to indicate the presence of any obstacles behind the vehicle.
front park assist

Renault 5’s front radar sensors detect the proximity of any obstacles in front and inform you using both audible and visual alerts.
side park assist

The sensors assist your manoeuvres by providing audible and visual signals indicating the proximity of any obstacles to the side of Renault 5.
rear view camera

When you are in reverse gear, it displays a rear view of the surroundings behind Renault 5 on the screen. Guiding lines make your manoeuvres easier and safer.
hands-free parking

Once it identifies a suitable parking space, the system takes control of the steering, while you manage the speed of Renault 5, making parking effortless.
safe exit warning rear cross traffic alert

Rear sensors detect and alert you to the potential approach of a vehicle (or motorcycle, bicycle, etc.) that could lead to a collision at the rear of Renault 5.
rear automatic emergency braking

The system intervenes in addition to the rear cross traffic alert to automatically stop Renault 5 in case of danger.

safety systems

blind spot warning

Active above 15 km/h, it warns the driver, via a signal in Renault 5’s wing mirror, of the presence of vehicles that are not visible in the field of vision.
traffic sign recognition with speed alert

By recognising traffic signs, the system displays changes in speed limits on Renault 5’s screen and alerts the driver in case of speeding.
active emergency breaking

The system detects vehicles approaching from the front or side. In case of danger, it stops Renault 5 to avoid any collision.
intersection automatic emergency braking system

It warns of the risk of imminent collision with oncoming vehicles, for example, when making a left turn at an intersection. If danger persists without a response, it automatically applies Renault 5’s brakes.
lane departure warning

If you unintentionally cross a solid or broken line, the system alerts the driver by vibrating Renault 5’s steering wheel.
lane keeping assist

The system automatically corrects the trajectory to bring Renault 5 back into its lane if the indicator has not been activated (from 70 km/h).
front and rear detection with emergency trajectory correction

When changing lanes, if the system detects a potential collision with a passing or oncoming vehicle, it alerts you and automatically adjusts Renault 5’s trajectory.
occupant safe exit alert

If a passenger opens one of Renault 5’s doors while another vehicle is approaching, the system alerts the driver of the danger with an audible and visual warning, along with a light in the wing mirror.
emergency stop assistant

In addition to active driver assist, the system works to slow the vehicle down until it comes to a stop in its lane (if possible) if the driver is inactive (no hands detected on the steering wheel).
advanced driver monitoring system

The system monitors signs of driver fatigue or inattention in Renault 5 using an interior camera. If the driver's attention wanes, it issues an alert to prompt a break and ensure safer driving.

safety features

In terms of safety, Renault is constantly innovating:
through a dedicated laboratory for research and development of innovative safety systems
through a unique partnership with firefighters that has already resulted in over 2,000 patents filed for solutions such as QRescue and Fireman Access.

automatic braking

post-accident 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 5.

Qrescue

QRescue: a time-saving QR code

Placed as a standard feature on both the windscreen and rear window of Renault 5, this QR code helps the emergency services to swiftly access the car’s technical details with just a quick scan, potentially saving up to 15 minutes of intervention time.

safety score

Safety score, for safer driving

The system analyses the speed, trajectory and safe distance data transmitted during trips in Renault 5. It displays the driver’s score, between 0 and 100, after each journey. The safety coach can then provide personalised advice to help make your driving safer.

passive safety

Renault has been a key player in safety for over 50 years and is constantly innovating and improving the passive safety of its models. With its “human first program”, Renault improves the safety of all road users on a daily basis. To date, the Group has helped reduce the number of road casualties fivefold.

advanced airbags

For enhanced passenger protection in case of a collision, Renault 5 is equipped with multiple airbags in the cabin:

front driver and passenger airbags
side curtain airbags covering front and rear seats
central side airbag to safeguard the space between the two front occupants

reinforced structure for improved passenger protection

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

The battery is an integral part of Renault 5’s structure. In the event of a collision, this not only helps to better protect it, but also contributes to the vehicle’s overall rigidity.

fix4sure

It prevents the “submarining effect” (the pelvis slipping under the lap belt), in the event of frontal collision, through a specially designed seat frame and low-positioned seatbelt buckles. A made-in-Renault solution.
