We are driven by the vision of accident-free driving. Our integral safety concept takes us a step closer to achieving this. It is a comprehensive approach which paves

the way for new, synergy-based technological solutions, a case in point being the “Mercedes-Benz Intelligent Drive” system which combines comfort and safety.

Integral safety concept.

DISTRONIC PLUS with STEER CONTROL and Stop & Go Pilot takes the strain off the driver in both moving and stop-and-go traffic.

As the inventor of the motor car we feel a special responsi-

bility for road safety. Thatʼs why we became the first car

manufacturer to develop an integral safety concept that

seamlessly combines active and passive safety measures

to provide comprehensive protection. The holistic approach

is divided up into four phases and offers safety solutions

for every situation. These include systems for safe driving,

which help prevent hazards by providing timely alerts and

assistance. Our unique PRE-SAFE® system is triggered in

response to danger and activates anticipatory measures

to protect the occupants. If a collision should occur despite

these precautionary measures, other technologies provide

the required protection. We have also considered the time

immediately after an accident by developing solutions

that can prevent serious injury and enable the emergency

services to provide rapid assistance. A selection of these

technologies for the “Safe driving”, “In the event of danger”,

“In an accident” and “After an accident” phases is presented

on the pages which follow.

Safe driving: Driving Assistance package Plus (option).

This package is made up of many safety and assistance

systems, including DISTRONIC PLUS with STEER CONTROL,

the PRE-SAFE® Brake with active pedestrian protection,

BAS PLUS Brake Assist with Cross Traffic Assist, Active Blind

Spot Assist, Active Lane Keeping Assist and PRE-SAFE®

PLUS. These Mercedes-Benz Intelligent Drive technologies

help to take the burden off the driver, reduce the risk of

accidents and improve protection for the vehicle occupants

as well as other road users. DISTRONIC PLUS with STEER

CONTROL and Stop & Go Pilot helps the driver to maintain

a safe distance between him or herself and the vehicle in

front and to stay in the middle of the lane. The Tailback

Assist system therefore provides a high level of relief, partic-

ularly

on long journeys and in traffic jams. In urban driving

in particular, BAS PLUS Brake Assist with Cross Traffic

Assist and the PRE-SAFE® Brake with active pedestrian

protection can help reduce the risk of accidents at junctions,
