RENAULT SCENIC 2018 Owners Manual

2.41
Special features
When the vehicle speed:
– is less than 27.9 mph (45 km/h) ap-
proximately, the warning and brak-
ing are activated at the same time;
– 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;
– 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;
– is above 99.2 mph (160 km/h), the
system is not active.
ACTIVE EMERGENCY BRAKING (2/7)
Detection of vehicles
Operation
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:
– warns you of a collision risk:
– the warning light
\b 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.
If the driver depresses the brake
pedal and the system still detects a
risk of collision, the brake force is in-
creased.
– triggers braking:
if the driver fails to react following the alert and collision becomes im-
minent.
2
You can interrupt braking at any
point by:
– tapping the accelerator pedal;
or
– turning the steering wheel in an avoidance manoeuvre.

2.42
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:
– the warning light
\b 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.

ACTIVE EMERGENCY BRAKING (3/7)
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.

2.44
ACTIVE EMERGENCY BRAKING (5/7)
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.
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.
Operating faults
When the system detects an operating
fault, the
\b warning light lights up
on the instrument panel, with the mes-
sage “Active braking disconnected”.
Consult an approved dealer
Temporarily not available
When the system detects a tempo-
rary unavailability, the
\b warning
light lights up on the instrument panel
accompanied by the message “Active
braking: sensor blind” or, depending on
the vehicle, “Radar-camera: no visibil-
ity”.
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.

2.45
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 t\
he 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, an\
d 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, replac\
ements, 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 su\
rrounding area (e.g. pedestrian dressed in white lo- cated in a snowy area etc.);
– being dazzled (glaring sun, lights of vehicles travelling in the opposi\
te direction etc.);
– windscreen obscured (by dirt, ice, snow, condensation etc.).
Risk of inadvertent braking.

2.46
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 bicycl\
es 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 o\
r the interior rear-view mirror side);
– the vehicle is being towed (breakdowns);
– the windscreen is cracked or distorted (do not carry out repairs on thi\
s 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 accel\
erator pedal or by turning the steering wheel in a avo id-
ance manoeuvre.
In the event of the system behaving abnormally, deactivate it and consult an authorised dealer.

tion etc.).
On equipped vehicles, some infor-
