Get Driving -> Active emergency braking Guide for Renault Scenic 4 Door Fourth Generation (2017-2022)

ACTIVE EMERGENCY BRAKING (1/7)

1

This system can apply maximum

braking to the vehicle until it is

completely stationary if necessary.

For safety reasons, always wear

your seat belt when travelling in

your vehicle and make sure that it

is loaded so that no items can be

thrown forward and hit the occu-

pants.

Using information from the radar-cam-

era 1, the system calculates the dis-

tance which separates it from the

vehicle in front and the surrounding pe-

destrians.

It notifies the driver if there is a risk of

head-on collision. The driver can then

brake the vehicle to limit the damage

arising from a collision.

This function is an addi-

tional driving aid. This func-

tion is not under any circum-

stances intended to replace

the due care and attention of the

driver, who should at all times be

in control of the vehicle.

Note: make sure the windscreen is not

obscured (dirt, mud, snow, condensa-

tion etc.).

ACTIVE EMERGENCY BRAKING (2/7)

Detection of vehicles

Special features

When the vehicle speed:

Operation

– is less than 27.9 mph (45 km/h) ap-

proximately, the warning and brak-

ing are activated at the same time;

When driving (speed between about

4.34 and 99.2 mph (7 and 160 km/h)), if

there is a risk of collision with the vehi-

cle in front, the system:

2

– is between about 27.9 mph

(45 km/h) and 48 mph (80 km/h)

approximately, the warning is acti-

vated. Braking will only be triggered if

the vehicle preceding you is moving.

Braking is not activated for stationary

vehicles;

– warns you of a collision risk:

– the warning light



is dis-

played in red on the instrument

panel, accompanied by a beep;

or

– the indicator 2 is displayed in red

on the instrument panel and, de-

pending on the vehicle, on the head

up display, accompanied by a beep.

– is between about 48 mph (80 km/h)

and 99.2 mph (160 km/h), the warn-

ing and braking are only triggered if

the vehicle preceding you is moving.

The warning and braking are not ac-

tivated for stationary vehicles;

If the driver depresses the brake

pedal and the system still detects a

risk of collision, the brake force is in-

creased.

– is above 99.2 mph (160 km/h), the

system is not active.

– triggers braking:

if the driver fails to react following

the alert and collision becomes im-

minent.

You can interrupt braking at any

point by:

– tapping the accelerator pedal;

or

– turning the steering wheel in an

avoidance manoeuvre.

ACTIVE EMERGENCY BRAKING (3/7)

Detection of pedestrians

Operation

When driving (speed between about

4.2 mph (7 km/h) and 36 mph (60 km/h),

when there is a risk of impact with a pe-

destrian:

3

– the warning light



is displayed

in red on the instrument panel, ac-

companied by a beep;

or

– the indicator 3 is displayed in red on

the instrument panel and, depending

on the vehicle, on the head up dis-

play, accompanied by a beep.

When the impact is imminent, the

system activates the braking.

The system can apply maximum brak-

ing to the vehicle until it is completely

stationary if necessary.

Conditions for non-activation

of the system

The system cannot be activated:

– when the gear lever is in neutral;

– when the parking brake is activated;

– while cornering.

on the instrument panel, with the mes-

sage “Active braking disconnected”.

Consult an approved dealer

As a general rule, if the driver shows

signs of attention (action on the steering

wheel, pedals etc.), the system delays

its operation or does not activate.

The possible causes are:

– the system is temporarily blinded

(glare from the sun, dipped beam

headlights, bad weather conditions

etc.). The system will be operational

again when visibility conditions are

better;

– the system is temporarily disrupted

(for example: windscreen obscured

by dirt, ice, snow etc.). In this case,

park the vehicle and switch off the

engine. Clean the windscreen. When

you next start the engine, the warn-

ing light and the message go out;

– if this is not the case, this may arise

from another cause; contact an

Approved Dealer.

2.40

ACTIVE EMERGENCY BRAKING (6/7)

Active emergency braking

This function is an additional driving aid. This function is not under any circumstances intended to replace the due care

and attention of the driver, who should at all times be in control of the vehicle. The triggering of this function may be

delayed or prevented when the system detects clear signs of control of the vehicle by the driver (action on the steer-

ing wheel, pedals etc.).

System servicing/repairs

– In the event of an impact, the radar-camera alignment may be changed, and its operation may consequently be affected.

Deactivate the function, then consult an authorised dealer.

– Any work in the area where the radar-camera is located (repairs, replacements, windscreen modifications etc.) must be car-

ried out by a qualified professional.

Only an authorised dealer is qualified to service the system.

In the event of system disturbance

Some conditions can disturb or damage the operation of the system, such as:

– a complex environment (metal bridge, tunnel etc.);

– poor weather conditions (snow, hail, black ice etc.);

– poor visibility (night, fog etc.);

– poor contrast between the object (vehicle, pedestrian etc.) and the surrounding area (e.g. pedestrian dressed in white lo-

cated in a snowy area etc.);

– being dazzled (glaring sun, lights of vehicles travelling in the opposite direction etc.);

– windscreen obscured (by dirt, ice, snow, condensation etc.).

Risk of inadvertent braking.

2.41

ACTIVE EMERGENCY BRAKING (7/7)

Limitation of the system operation

– A vehicle travelling in the opposite direction will not trigger any alert or any action on the system operation.

– The radar-camera area on the windscreen should be kept clean and free of any modifications in order to ensure the

proper operation of the system.

– The system cannot respond to small vehicles such as motorbikes or bicycles as effectively as to other vehicles.

– The system may not operate properly when the road surface is slippery (rain, snow, black ice etc.).

– To ensure correct operation, the system needs to distinguish the complete outline of the pedestrian. So the system cannot

detect:

– pedestrians in the darkness or in poor lighting conditions;

– partially visible pedestrians:

– pedestrians less than approximately 80 cm tall;

– pedestrians carrying large objects;

– ...

Deactivating the function

You must disable the function if:

– the brake lights are not functioning;

– the area of the radar-camera has been damaged (on the windscreen side or the interior rear-view mirror side);

– the vehicle is being towed (breakdowns);

– the windscreen is cracked or distorted (do not carry out repairs on this area of the windscreen; have it changed by an

Authorised Dealer).

Halting the function

You can halt the active braking function at any time by tapping the accelerator pedal or by turning the steering wheel in a avoid-

ance manoeuvre.

In the event of the system behaving abnormally, deactivate it and consult an authorised dealer.
