Emergency Braking Assist - Renault Kangoo 1998 Manual

EMERGENCY BRAKING ASSIST

This system is complementary to
ABS and helps reduce vehicle
stopping distances.
Operating principle
The system detects an emergency
braking situation by means of a
sensor which measures the speed
with which the brake pedal is
depressed. In this case, emergency
brake assist instantly reaches its
maximum power and allows ABS
regulation to be reached as quickly
as possible.
ABS braking is maintained as long
as the brake pedal is not released.
Hazard warning lights lighting
up
These may light up in the event of
rapid deceleration.

This function
additional aid in case of
critical driving conditions
to allow the
behaviour 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.
Thus, it 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).
