PRE-SAFE
®
(anticipatory occupant
protection)
!
Make sure that there are no objects in the
footwell or behind the seats when moving
the seat back. There is a risk that the seats
and/or the objects could be damaged.
PRE-SAFE
®
takes pre-emptive measures to
protect occupants in certain hazardous sit-
uations. Although your vehicle is equipped
with a PRE-SAFE
®
system, the possibility of
injury in the event of an accident cannot be
ruled out.
Always adapt your driving style to suit the
prevailing road and weather conditions and
maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in
front. Drive carefully.
PRE-SAFE
®
intervenes:
R
when BAS activates, e.g. in emergency
braking situations
R
when BAS PLUS – on vehicles with DIS-
TRONIC PLUS – intervenes heavily
R
if, on vehicles with DISTRONIC PLUS, the
radar sensor system detects an imminent
danger of collision in certain situations
R
in critical driving situations, e.g. when phys-
ical limits are exceeded and the vehicle
understeers or oversteers severely
PRE-SAFE
®
takes the following measures
depending on the hazardous situation detec-
ted:
R
the front seat belts are pre-tensioned.
R
vehicles with the memory function: the
front-passenger seat is adjusted if it is in an
unfavourable position.
R
vehicles with a multicontour seat or active
multicontour seat: the air pressure in the
side bolsters of the seat cushion and back-
rest is increased.
R
if the vehicle skids, the sliding sunroof and
the side windows are closed so that only a
small gap remains.
If the hazardous situation passes without
resulting in an accident, PRE-SAFE
®
slackens
the belt pretensioning. The air pressure in the
side bolsters on the multicontour seat/active
multicontour seat is reduced again. All set-
tings made by PRE-SAFE
®
can then be
reversed.
If the seat belts are not released:
X Move the backrest or seat back slightly, but
only when the vehicle is stationary.
Seat belt pretensioning is reduced and the
locking mechanism is released.
More information about seat belt adjustment,
a convenience function integrated into PRE-
SAFE
®
, can be found under "Seat belt adjust-
ment" (
