Pelvisbags
:
deploy next to and below the
outer seat cushions. They are deployed:
R
on the side on which an impact occurs
R
at the start of an accident with a high rate
of lateral vehicle deceleration or accelera-
tion, e.g. in a side impact
R
independently of the use of the seat belt
R
independently of the front airbags
R
independently of the belt tensioners
Windowbags
The windowbags enhance the level of protec-
tion for the head (but not chest or arms), of
the vehicle occupants on the side of the vehi-
cle on which the impact occurs.
The windowbags are integrated into the side
of the roof frame and deploy in the area
extending from the front door (A-pillar) to the
rear sidewall (C-pillar).

PRE-SAFE
®
(anticipatory occupant
protection)
PRE-SAFE
®
takes pre-emptive measures to
protect occupants in certain hazardous sit-
uations.
PRE-SAFE
®
intervenes:
R
when BAS PLUS intervenes powerfully on
vehicles with DISTRONIC PLUS
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
if the vehicle skids, the panorama 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. All settings made by
PRE-SAFE
®
can then be reversed.
