PRE-SAFE (anticipatory occupant
protection system)
G
WARNING
®
The PRE-SAFE system reduces the impact of
an accident on vehicle occupants, as long as
their seat belts have been fastened correctly.
Although your vehicle is equipped with a PRE-
SAFE ® system, the possibility of injury in the
event of an accident cannot be ruled out. You
should therefore always drive carefully and
adapt your driving style to the prevailing road,
weather and traffic conditions.
®
PRE-SAFE takes preemptive measures to
protect occupants in certain hazardous
situations.
®
PRE-SAFE intervenes:
if BAS PLUS intervenes powerfully on
R
vehicles with DISTRONIC PLUS
if, on vehicles with DISTRONIC PLUS, the
R
radar sensor system detects an imminent
danger of collision in certain situations
in critical driving situations, e.g. when
R
physical limits are exceeded and the
vehicle understeers or oversteers severely
If the seat belts are not released:
When the vehicle is stationary, move the
X
backrest or seat back slightly.
The seat belt pre-tensioning is reduced and
the locking mechanism is released.
G
WARNING
Make sure that nobody can become trapped
as you adjust the seat.
! Make sure that there are no objects in the
footwell or behind the seats when resetting
the seats. There is a risk that the seats
and/or the objects could be damaged.
More information about seat belt adjustment,
a convenience function integrated into PRE-
®
SAFE , can be found in the "Seat belt

NECK-PRO head restraints/NECK-
PRO luxury head restraints
G
WARNING
The function of the head restraint may be
impaired if you:
attach objects such as coat hangers to the
R
head restraints, for example
use head restraint covers
R
If you do so, the head restraints cannot fulfill
their intended protective function in the event
of an accident. In addition, objects attached
to the head restraints could endanger other
vehicle occupants. There is an increased risk
of injury.
Do not attach any objects to the head
restraints and do not use head restraint
covers.
NECK-PRO head restraints/NECK-PRO luxury
head restraints increase protection of the
driver's and front-passenger's head and
neck. In the event of a rear collision of a
certain severity, the NECK-PRO head
restraints/NECK-PRO luxury head restraints
on the driver's and the front-passenger seats
are moved forwards and upwards. This
provides better head support.
If the NECK-PRO head restraints/NECK-PRO
luxury head restraints have been triggered in
an accident, reset the NECK-PRO head
restraints/NECK-PRO luxury head restraints
on the driver's and front-passenger seats
