Renault safety

prioritizing your protection

human first program

At Renault, we strive to make safety accessible and humane for drivers, passengers & pedestrians alike. Following this approach, the Human First Program was born.

The initiative aims at offering you a secure driving experience, through the power of cutting-edge design & technology. Being at the frontline, we have upgraded the safety quotient and made our whole range BS6 step 2 compliant*.

In 2025, Renault takes safety a step further with the universal patent initiative by opening its safety patents to competitors

in safety, cutting-edge vehicles

In 50 years, Renault has helped divide by 5 the number of victims on the roads. To continuously improve everybody’s safety, the experts from the LAB (Accidents and Biomechanics Laboratory) and the 600 engineers and technicians innovate relentlessly. In total, over 2,000 patents have been filed and a range of cutting-edge technological solutions like the Fireman Access and SD Switch have been developed.

advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS)

Advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) are intelligent systems that rely on advanced technologies (radars, cameras, artificial intelligence, etc.) to help drivers during their journeys.

And yet 67% of drivers do not use driver-assistance systems unless they are activated automatically (2019 SSHRC study)*. Renault is working to reverse this trend.

restraint systems

Only 25% of children are fastened in correctly (10% not fastened in at all)*: this is why Renault equips its vehicles with innovative restraint systems to improve passenger safety.

making progress in road safety every day

Created in 1969 by the Renault and PSA Groups, the LAB is an accident research and biomechanics laboratory that also studies human behaviour. Its mission is to reduce the number of victims on the road; in 50 years, it has helped to reduce the number of people killed to a fifth of previous levels.
