Groupe Renault is also continuing its Group-wide communication, training and awareness-raising campaigns, as evidenced by the employee awareness initiatives conducted on sites by prevention, health and safety engineers, occupational physicians and road safety professionals. In May 2019, during road safety at work week, practical awareness-raising initiatives were undertaken in different countries including Algeria, Spain, France and Portugal.

include the over-speed warning, combined with the speed-limiter, head-up display of driving information, automatic switching of main-beam/dipped-beam headlamps at night, lane departure warning, blind-spot warning and safe distance alert. In 2015, the New ESPACE was the first in its range to feature these new functions, which are already to be found in other C-D-segment vehicles, namely the KADJAR, the TALISMAN, the MEGANE IV and the KOLEOS. The preparation of new systems is underway, benefiting from the very rapid progress in the development of sensors and onboard electronics. In 2016, SCENIC unveiled a new generation of even more powerful ADAS systems, including Automatic Emergency Braking with pedestrian detection. This will feature in the vast majority of our future products, including less-premium range over the coming months. This equipment has been improved with the renewal of the segment B CLIO/CAPTUR launched in 2019, which obtained 5 stars in the euroNCAP ratings. Groupe Renault makes over 1,100 educational videos presenting the functionalities and technologies of Renault and Dacia brand vehicles, including ADAS, available to customers . The website https://www.tutos-video.renault.fr/ has received 240,000 visits since September 2018 and the tutorials, available in 16 languages, have been seen 1,220,000 times. sustainable mobility. In September 2018, the Renault Foundation renewed its commitment and support to the Federation to work together in general interest missions carried out by the FNSPF and the French Fire and Rescue Services in terms of vehicle security, passenger safety and road safety. To confirm its commitment to the emergency services and ensure their safety during their interventions on Renault and Dacia range vehicles, Renault has included, within its CSR department, a Lieutenant-Colonel from SDIS 78 ( Service départemental d’incendie et de secours – Departmental Fire and Rescue Service) for a period of three years. His role is to contribute to the development of the inclusion of the activities of firefighters from the design of vehicles, and to apply the acquired know-how amongst his colleagues in France and abroad. In May 2019, Groupe Renault was a major partner of the National Firefighters’ Extraction Challenge, held from May 15 to 18 in Avignon, which brought together 22 French and two foreign teams. Renault provided 65 recent vehicles for this challenge. As a member of the World Rescue Organisation , Groupe Renault was a major partner of the International Extraction Challenge held from September 11 to 15 in La Rochelle, which brought together 34 teams from 16 countries. Renault provided 120 recent vehicles for this challenge. Rescue RESCUE In 2012, Groupe Renault became the official partner of the French National Federation of Fire and Rescue Services (Fédération Nationale Des Sapeurs-Pompiers de France or FNSPF), thereby rubber-stamping the long-lasting relationship that exists between these two major players in

Prevent-Correct-Protect

PREVENT CORRECT Groupe Renault has played an active part in road safety for more than 50 years, long before it became the familiar media topic we know today. This commitment to automotive safety has been substantiated by the attainment, 23 times over, of the maximum 5-star rating in Euro NCAP tests, having been the first carmaker to do so in 2001 (with the LAGUNA II). The in-depth knowledge of accident and injury mechanisms developed through LAB (the Groupe Renault-PSA Group Accidentology and Biomechanics Laboratory) research, has furnished Groupe Renault with an ambitious and pertinent vision of the steps needed to improve road safety. In addition to the results of consumer tests, Groupe Renault investigated areas which it deemed crucial to reducing injury risk during accidents, such as submarining and compatibility. These issues of submarining and compatibility are taken into account in developments to the Euro NCAP protocol introduced in 2015, then in 2020. This effort in the field of passive safety will therefore continue over the coming years, particularly supporting the tightening of rules for consumer testing around the world. While efforts in passive safety undertaken by the entire automotive industry have enabled extremely significant improvements to be achieved in terms of reducing the road death toll, recent technological advances, complementing public policy, have heralded a new and very promising area of progress, meaning that it is no longer a case of limiting the consequences of an accident, but rather, of reducing their severity, or even, avoiding them altogether. This is where primary road safety comes into play, with ADAS (Advanced driver assistance systems). These ADAS re taking corrective action on the driver’s behalf and in his/her place. These systems, the most typical today being Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB), will be able to deal with one of the recognized causes of accidents, i.e. , driver error due to inattention. Groupe Renault does not claim to be a pioneer in this field of development, which, due to the cost of these systems, mainly features in the high-end market. Nevertheless, the Group wants to make them accessible to a wider public, while working to integrate them in our vehicles. Other ADAS, however, are now well entrenched in Groupe Renault’s lineage (Groupe Renault was one of the pioneers of the speed-limiter in Europe). These PROTECT
