Renault 5 E-Tech ADAS Calibration

ADAS Systems on Your Renault 5 E-Tech

The 5 E-Tech launched in the UK with EASY DRIVE standard across all trims. As an entirely new platform, every UK example has the same sensor configuration:

• Active Emergency Braking (AEB) – combined radar and camera detection of vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists. Activates autonomous braking when a collision is imminent.
• Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) – radar-based, maintains set speed and distance to the vehicle ahead. The radar module sits behind the front bumper fascia.
• Lane Keeping Assist (LKA) – uses the windscreen-mounted camera to detect lane markings and applies steering correction when drifting.
• Lane Departure Warning (LDW) – camera-based visual and haptic alerts for unintended lane departure.
• Traffic Sign Recognition (TSR) – camera-dependent system that reads speed limit signs and displays them in the instrument cluster.
• Automatic High Beam – camera-based headlight management, detecting oncoming and preceding vehicles.

The compact dimensions of the 5 E-Tech mean the front radar has less bumper material protecting it from minor impacts – even a low-speed car park knock can displace the sensor.

Common Calibration Triggers for the Renault 5 E-Tech

After front bumper damage – the 5 E-Tech's radar is housed behind the front bumper panel. The compact front end offers less crumple zone than SUV models, so parking impacts that might not affect a Captur can shift the 5 E-Tech's radar enough to trigger AEB and ACC warnings. Radar recalibration restores alignment.

After windscreen replacement – LKA, LDW, TSR, and Automatic High Beam all depend on the forward camera behind the rearview mirror. Every windscreen swap requires camera recalibration before these systems function again.

After a frontal collision – even minor frontal impacts on the 5 E-Tech can affect both the bumper-mounted radar and the windscreen camera simultaneously. If multiple EASY DRIVE warnings appear after an incident, a Full System Reset covers everything.

Renault 5 E-Tech Calibration Pricing

Windscreen replacement on a 5 E-Tech triggers camera recalibration at £199 – our most common service for this model. If the front bumper was also involved, radar calibration adds £349.
