Every accident comes with plenty of hindsight. In the S-Class, accidents also come with foresight —

foresight provided by Mercedes-Benz PRE-SAFE.

Should the vehicle’s sensors detect motion that indicates

a possible collision, the S-Class prepares, adjusting the front passenger seat to a more favorable position,

tensioning the front seat belts for further protection and, if necessary, automatically raising the windows

and closing the sunroof.

After an accident, the S-Class shuts off the engine, cuts the fuel supply, unlocks

the doors and automatically calls an Emergency Response Center.

PRE-SAFE. More proof that our lead

in the area of safety is getting longer.

Preparing for

the unthinkable

by thinking of just

about everything.

Predictive Brake Priming

Reinforces critical areas of the body

and frame for safer construction and

more precise handling.

Indicators that rescue workers can use to cut

the pillars in order to remove the roof without

cutting into any undeployed safety systems.

Lift off the accelerator quickly,

and the brake pads move closer

to the discs for faster response.

When the wipers are on, the brake pads

periodically contact the discs to keep

them dry. And more effective.
