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.
R
Vehicles with sliding sunroof: closing the slid-
R
ing sunroof.
Vehicles with memory function: moving the
R
front passenger seat to a more favorable seat
position.
Vehicles with multicontour seat: increasing the
R
air pressure in the seat side bolsters of the
seat backrest.
®
PRE-SAFE Sound: provided that the multime-
R
dia system is switched on, generating a brief
noise signal to stimulate the innate protective
mechanism of a person's hearing.

may result in damage to the seat and/or the

Function of PRE-SAFE PLUS (anticipatory occu-
pant protection plus)
®
PRE-SAFE PLUS can detect certain impacts, par-
ticularly an imminent rear impact, and take pre-
emptive measures to protect the vehicle occu-
pants. These measures cannot necessarily pre-
vent an imminent impact.
®
PRE-SAFE PLUS can implement the following
measures independently of each other:
Tightening the seat belts on the driver's seat
R
and front passenger seat.
Increasing brake pressure when the vehicle is
R
stationary. This brake application is canceled
automatically when the vehicle pulls away.

measures that were taken are reversed.
