Emergency Brake Assist - Renault Scenic Driver's Handbook Manual

EMERGENCY BRAKE ASSIST

This system is complementary to the
ABS and helps reduce vehicle stopping
distances.
Operating principle
The system is for detecting an emer-
gency braking situation. In this case,
the braking assistance instantly pro-
vides its maximum power.
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 decel-
eration.
In this case, the hazard warning lights
may be switched off by pressing
switch 1 once.

This function is an addi-
tional aid in the event of
critical driving conditions,
enabling the vehicle behav-
iour to be adapted to suit the driving
conditions.
However, the function does not take
the place of the driver. It does not
increase the vehicle's limits and
should not encourage you to
drive more quickly.
Therefore, it can under no circum-
stances replace the vigilance or re-
sponsibility of the driver when ma-
noeuvring the vehicle (the driver
must always be ready for sudden in-
cidents which may occur when driv-
ing).
