Headbags
Headbags enhance the level of protection for
the head, but not the chest or arms, of the
vehicle occupants in the front of the vehicle
on the side on which the impact occurs.
Headbags : deploy in the area of the side
windows at the front. They are deployed:
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
on the side on which an impact occurs
R
on the driver's and the front passenger's
side if the vehicle overturns and the system
determines that windowbag deployment
can offer additional protection to that pro-
vided by the seat belt
R
independently of the use of the seat belt
R
regardless of whether the front-passenger
seat is occupied
R
independently of the front airbags
PRE-SAFE ® (preventative 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 seat belts are pre-tensioned.
R
the front-passenger seat is adjusted if it is
in an unfavourable position.
R
if the vehicle skids, 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.
If the seat belts are not released:
X
Move the backrest or seat back slightly, but
only when the vehicle is stationary.
The belt pretensioning is reduced and the
locking mechanism is released.
!
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.
More information about seat-belt adjust-
ment, a convenience function integrated into
PRE-SAFE ® , can be found in the "Seat-belt
adjustment" section (

NECK-PRO head restraints
The NECK-PRO head restraints increase pro-
tection to the driver's and front passenger's
head and neck. To this end, the NECK-PRO
head restraints on the driver's and front-
passenger seats are moved forwards and
upwards in the event of a rear-end collision of
