GSR II: Global Safety Regulation II
The latest Global Safety Regulation (GSR II) outlines new vehicle safety requirements in the European Union. The GSR II covers rules designed to improve road safety for all, and that includes pedestrians and cyclists. As part of changes in the GSR II, certain safety equipment becomes mandatory as of July, 2024.
The entire Dacia range will be compliant with the new regulation. Orders for the Sandero, Sandero Stepway, Jogger, and Logan models are scheduled to open in April 2024 (depending on country).
Changes to product design and content
2024 models feature product upgrades, some of which will make vehicles GSR II compliant.

A button on the “My Safety” dashboard allows drivers to deactivate certain ADAS while driving and each time the car is started. In addition, the entire range features the Rescue QR Code sticker, left clearly visible on the windscreen and rear window. When scanned with the free, dedicated app, it provides access to Dacia’s rescue information booklet. This gives firefighters all the information they need to safely and rapidly respond to an emergency, saving valuable minutes.
New E-SAVE function on the Jogger HYBRID 140
The new feature can be used to set a target charge level for the traction battery (~70%) in order to save enough energy for later in the trip. When drivers know they are about to come up against specific driving conditions (uphill), they can activate the mode a few kilometres before (< 5 km) and deactivate it once the steep climb is over. As such, drivers proactively choose to activate the E-SAVE mode; it turns itself off each time the engine is restarted.
