PRE-SAFE
®
may take the following measures
in these situations:
R
it tensions the front seat belts.
R
on vehicles with memory functions*: it
adjusts the front-passenger seat if this is in
an unfavourable position.
R
on vehicles with multicontour seat* or
active multicontour seat*: it increases the
air pressure in the seat side cushions and
the backrest side cushions.
R
if the vehicle skids, it closes the sliding/
tilting sunroof* or panorama sliding sun-
roof* and the side windows so that only a
small gap remains.
if the hazardous situation passes without
resulting in an accident, PRE-SAFE
®
slackens
the belt pretensioning. You can then reverse
all settings made by PRE-SAFE
®
. On vehicles
with a multi-contour seat* or an active multi-
contour seat*, the air pressure in the side
bolsters is then reduced again.
If the seat belts are not released:
X
Move the backrest or the seat back slightly
until the belt tension is reduced.
The locking mechanism releases.
G
Risk of injury
When adjusting the seat, make sure that
nobody can become trapped.
!
Make sure that there are no objects in the
footwell or behind the seats when adjusting
the seats. You could otherwise damage the
seats and the objects.
NECK-PRO head restraints
NECK-PRO head restraints are designed to
increase protection to the driver's and front-
passenger's head and neck. To this end, the
head restraints on the driver's and front-
passenger seats are moved forwards and
upwards in the event of a rear-end collision of
a certain severity when viewed in the direc-
tion of travel. This provides better head sup-
port.
G
Risk of injury
Head restraint covers prevent the NECK-PRO
head restraints from triggering correctly. Con-
sequently, the NECK-PRO head restraints
cannot provide the intended level of protec-
tion. Do not use head restraint covers.
If the NECK-PRO head restraints are triggered
in an accident, you must reset the head
restraints on the driver's and front-passenger
seats (
Y
page 303). Head restraints that have
been triggered are tilted forwards.
Children in the vehicle
If a child is travelling in your vehicle, secure
the child using a child restraint system which
is appropriate to the size and age of the child
and is recommended for Mercedes-Benz
vehicles. You should fit the restraint system
to a suitable rear seat. You can also secure
the child on the integrated child seat*
(
Y
page 53). Ensure that the child is secured
throughout the trip.
You can obtain information about the correct
child restraint system from any Mercedes-
Benz Service Centre.
i
It is advisable to use Mercedes-Benz care
products to clean child restraint systems.
Information about this can be obtained
from any Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.
G
Risk of injury
Do not leave children unsupervised in the
vehicle, even if they are secured in a child
restraint system. Children could injure them-
selves on parts of the vehicle. They could also
be seriously or even fatally injured by pro-
longed exposure to extreme heat or cold.
Do not expose the child restraint system to
direct sunlight. Parts of the child restraint sys-
tem could heat up and the child could burn
herself/himself on them.
