Windowbags are deployed:

R

at the start of an accident with a high rate

of lateral vehicle deceleration or accelera-

tion, e.g. in a side impact

R

on the side on which an impact occurs

R

on the driver's and the front passenger's

side if the vehicle overturns and the system

determines that deployment can offer addi-

tional protection to that provided by the

seat belt

R

independently of the use of the seat belt

R

regardless of whether the front-passenger

seat is occupied

R

independently of the front airbags

PRE-SAFE

®

(anticipatory occupant

protection)

!

Make sure that there are no objects in the

footwell or behind the seats when moving

the seat back. There is a risk that the seats

and/or the objects could be damaged.

PRE-SAFE

®

takes pre-emptive measures to

protect occupants in certain hazardous sit-

uations. Although your vehicle is equipped

with a PRE-SAFE

®

system, the possibility of

injury in the event of an accident cannot be

ruled out.

Always adapt your driving style to suit the

prevailing road and weather conditions and

maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in

front. Drive carefully.

PRE-SAFE

®

intervenes:

R

when BAS activates, e.g. in emergency

braking situations.

R

when adaptive Brake Assist intervenes

powerfully on vehicles with DISTRONIC

PLUS.

R

in critical driving situations, e.g. when phys-

ical limits are exceeded and the vehicle

understeers or oversteers severely.

PRE-SAFE

®

takes the following measures

depending on the hazardous situation detec-

ted:

R

the front seat belts are pre-tensioned.

R

vehicles with the memory function: the

front-passenger seat is adjusted if it is in an

unfavourable position.

R

if the vehicle skids, the panorama sliding

sunroof and the side windows are closed so

that only a small gap remains.

If the hazardous situation passes without

resulting in an accident, PRE-SAFE

®

slackens

the belt pretensioning. All settings made by

PRE-SAFE

®

can then be reversed.

If the seat belts are not released:

X

Move the backrest or seat back slightly, but

only when the vehicle is stationary.

Seat belt pretensioning is reduced and the

locking mechanism is released.

The seat-belt adjustment is an integral part of

the PRE-SAFE

®

convenience function. More

information about seat-belt adjustment can

be found under "Seat-belt adjustment"

(Y page 48).

Seat belts

Important safety notes

G

WARNING

A seat belt which is not worn correctly, or

which has not been engaged in the seat belt

buckle correctly, cannot provide the intended

level of protection. Under certain circumstan-

ces, this could cause severe or even fatal inju-

ries in the event of an accident.

Therefore, make sure that all occupants — in

particular, pregnant women — wear their seat

belts correctly at all times.

R

The seat belt must fit snugly on your body

and must not be twisted.Therefore, avoid

wearing bulky clothing, e.g. a winter coat.

The shoulder section of the belt must be

routed across the centre of your shoulder
