The ETDs for the rear outer seats will activate
with or without the respective seat belts
fastened.
In an impact, the ETDs remove slack from the
seat belts in such a way that the seat belts fit
more snugly against the body. Seat belt force
limiters, when activated, are employed to
help reduce the peak force exerted by the
seat belts on occupants during a crash.
i
The ETDs do not correct an incorrect seat
position or incorrectly worn seat belts.
The ETDs do not pull occupants back
toward the seat backrest.
G
Warning!
Pyrotechnic ETDs that were activated must be
replaced.
For your safety, when disposing of the
pyrotechnic ETDs always follow our safety
instructions. These are available at any
authorized Mercedes-Benz Center.
The PRE-SAFE
®
system has electrically
operated reversible pre-tensioners that do
not require replacement after activation.
Automatic comfort-fit feature seat belt
An automatic comfort-fit feature for the front
seats reduces the retracting force of the seat
belts when they are in normal use.
Preventive occupant safety (PRE-
SAFE
®
)
G
Warning!
The PRE-SAFE
®
system is intended to reduce
the effects of an accident on vehicle
occupants who are wearing their seat belt
properly. Despite your vehicle being equipped
with the PRE-SAFE
®
system, the possibility of
personal injuries occurring as a result of an
accident cannot be eliminated. Therefore,
always drive carefully and adjust your driving
to the prevailing road, weather, and traffic
conditions.
The PRE-SAFE
®
system takes preventive
measures to better protect the occupants
from the possibility of personal injuries in the
following hazardous situations:
R
emergency braking situations, e.g. if the
Brake Assist System (BAS) (
Y
page 63) is
activated
or when
vehicles with DISTRONIC PLUS:
the BAS PLUS (
Y
page 63) or the PRE-
SAFE
®
Brake (
Y
page 69) is strongly
engaging
R
when the radar sensors recognize the
immediate risk of collision in certain
situations (vehicles with DISTRONIC PLUS)
R
critical dynamic driving situations, e.g.
when the vehicle has been caused to
understeer or oversteer because it has
exceeded its physical limitations or in case
of evasive steering maneuvers at speeds
above approximately 85 mph (140 km/h)
The PRE-SAFE
®
system takes the following
measures when it is activated:
R
The front seat belts are pre-tensioned
automatically.
R
If the front passenger seat is in an
unfavorable position, the seat will be
adjusted to a position that seeks to better
protect the occupant.
R
The system increases the air pressure in
the air pockets (on the sides of the seat
cushion and backrest) of the drive-dynamic
multicontour front seats.
R
If the vehicle is in a critical dynamic driving
situation, the door windows and the tilt/
sliding sunroof or panorama roof with tilt/
sliding panel also closes, except for a
minimal gap that remains open.
If the closing procedure of any of these
elements is blocked, it will stop and open
slightly.
Once the hazardous situation no longer exists
and an accident has been avoided, the PRE-
SAFE
®
system loosens the seat belt pre-
