SAFE 11

No system, regardless of how advanced, can overcome the laws of physics or correct careless driving. Please always

wear your seat belt. Best performance in snow is obtained with winter tires.

Optional on the R320 CDI and R350

4MATIC

as part of the Bi

Xenon Headlamp package. Standard on the R550 4MATIC.

The R

Class can recognize hazards

so you don’t have to deal with them later.

PRO

SAFE

™

is the philosophy which defines the Mercedes-Benz approach

to safety. It stands for the brand’s aim to achieve the highest possible

degree of safety for all road users. As the first element in the PRO

SAFE

™

concept, PERFORM

SAFE comprises measures which can contribute to

safety when driving, such as comfort features to reduce driver stress and

the control and display concept which reduces distractions that might divert

the driver’s attention. Then there are systems which assist the driver,

providing support in critical situations and raise awareness of potential

hazards. At the first sign of skidding, the Electronic Stability Program

(

ESP®

)

can intervene to provide improved traction.

As soon as the sensors detect

a critical dynamic handling situation, braking is applied to one or more

wheels as required and the engine output may also be adjusted.

Complementing ESP® is our Brake Assist System

(

BAS

)

. When emergency

braking is detected, BAS instantly applies full brake pressure, compensating

for a driver’s tendency to apply less brake pressure than necessary in

panic situations.

Additionally, your R

Class can be equipped with Active Bi

Xenon headlamps

featuring dynamic headlamp range adjustment, headlamp washers and

cornering lights.

The headlamps follow the steering wheel’s movements,

improving illumination of curves by up to 90%.
