12 SAFETY PASSIVE

SAFE AND POST

SAFE

We keep getting safer and safer.

WARNING: The forces of a deploying air bag can cause serious or fatal injuries to a child under age 13. Children

under 13 should be seated in the back seat if possible. See Operator’s Manual for additional warnings and information

on air bags, seat belts and child seats.

The PASSIVE

SAFE group of functions is designed to provide the

occupants with the best possible protection in the event of an accident.

A high-strength passenger cell built from high quality materials and

offering long deformation paths provides a reliable protective barrier for

the occupants. The driver and front passenger are both protected by

two-stage air bags as well as side air bags.

The second and third rows

of seats are protected by side full

length window curtain air bags.

To support the heads of the driver and front passenger in the event of a

rear

end collision, Mercedes-Benz has created the innovative NECK

PRO

headrests. When sensors detect an impact, pre-tensioned springs bring

your head restraint forward to reduce the risk of whiplash.

POST

SAFE comprises measures which help to prevent a post-accident

situation from deteriorating: a fuel tank situated in a protected position

ahead of the rear axle and an automatic engine cut-off function which is

triggered after a severe collision. POST

SAFE also features measures that

assist you and other drivers in the event of an accident — like automatic

door unlocking and activation of the hazard warning flashers.

NECK

PRO headrests are

sensor

controlled, moving almost

instantaneously into position to

reduce the risk of whiplash.
