Renault Clio: Emergency brake assist
Renault Clio IV (2014-2019) Owners Manual / Driving / Driver correction devices and aids / Emergency brake assist
This system supplements the ABS and helps reduce vehicle stopping distances.
Operating principle
The system is for detecting an emergency braking situation. In this case, the braking assistance immediately develops maximum power and may trigger ABS regulation.
ABS braking is maintained as long as the brake pedal is applied.
Hazard warning lights switching on
Depending on the vehicle, these may light up in the event of sudden deceleration.
Braking anticipation
Depending on the vehicle, when you rapidly release the accelerator, the system anticipates the braking manoeuvre in order to reduce stopping distances.
When using the cruise control:
- if you use the accelerator, when you release it, the system may be triggered;
- if you do not use the accelerator, the system will not be triggered.
Operating faults
When the system detects an operating
fault the message “CHECK BRAKING
SYSTEM” appears on the instrument
panel along with the 
warning
light.
Consult an approved dealer.
| These functions are an additional
aid in the event of
critical driving conditions,
enabling the vehicle behaviour
to be adapted to suit the driving
conditions. However, the functions do not take the place of the driver. They do not increase the vehicle’s limits and should not encourage you to drive more quickly. Therefore, they can under no circumstances replace the vigilance or responsibility of the driver when manoeuvring the vehicle (the driver must always be ready for sudden incidents which may occur when driving). |
