PRE-SAFE (anticipatory occupant protec‐
tion)
®
PRE-SAFE is able to detect certain critical driv‐
ing situations and implement pre-emptive meas‐
ures to protect the vehicle occupants.

PRE-SAFE can implement the following meas‐
ures independently of each other:
Tightening the seat belts on the driver's seat
R
and front passenger seat.
Closing the side windows.

Vehicles with memory function: move the
R
front passenger seat to a more favorable
seat position.
Vehicles with multicontour seat: Increase
R
the air pressure in the seat side bolsters of
the seat backrest.
®
R PRE-SAFE Sound: provided that the multi‐
media system is switched on, generates a
brief noise signal to stimulate the innate pro‐
tective mechanism of a person's hearing.
* NOTE Damage caused by objects in the
footwell or behind the seat
The automatic adjustment of the seat posi‐
tion may result in damage to the seat and/or
the object.
Stow objects in a suitable place.
