Mercedes-Benz PRE-SAFE® is an advanced occupant-protection system available across the Mercedes-Benz lineup. When the system detects certain driving situations that suggest a collision or rollover may be imminent, it can take precautionary measures to help prepare occupants and the vehicle’s restraint systems for a potential impact. Explore this innovative technology firsthand at Fields Motorcars.
How Does Mercedes-Benz PRE-SAFE® Work?
Mercedes-Benz PRE-SAFE® uses information from a network of vehicle sensors to recognize certain critical driving situations that may indicate an imminent collision or rollover. When activated, the system can tighten the driver and front-passenger seat belts, initiate closing of the side windows and sunroof, and, on appropriately equipped models, move the front-passenger seat to a more favorable position. These precautionary measures are designed to better prepare occupants and the vehicle’s restraint systems in the moments before a potential collision.
Enhanced Mercedes-Benz PRE-SAFE® Features
Select Mercedes-Benz models can offer additional PRE-SAFE® technologies designed for specific collision scenarios. PRE-SAFE® PLUS can respond when certain imminent rear impacts are detected, including by increasing brake pressure when the vehicle is stationary. PRE-SAFE® Sound can emit a brief noise through the vehicle’s audio system to stimulate the ear’s natural protective mechanism before a potential impact. On appropriately equipped models, PRE-SAFE® Impulse Side can rapidly inflate an air cushion in the outer front-seat bolster to move the occupant’s upper body toward the center of the vehicle when an imminent side impact is detected.
What Happens if a Collision Doesn’t Occur?
PRE-SAFE® responds proactively, but a detected critical situation doesn’t always result in a collision. If no accident occurs, the system can reverse certain precautionary measures, such as releasing the seat-belt tensioners. You can then readjust the seat or reopen the windows or sunroof as needed.
