Occupant safety
Automatic comfort-fit feature seat belt
An automatic comfort-fit feature for front
seats reduces the retracting force of the
seat belts when they are in normal use.
Preventive occupant safety
(PRE-SAFE
®
)
Your vehicle automatically takes preven-
tive measures to better protect the occu-
pants in the following hazardous
situations:
ț You execute an emergency braking ma-
neuver and the Brake Assist System
(
୴ page 90) is activated.
ț The PRE-SAFE
®
system detects a criti-
cal driving dynamics situation.
In such cases, the following systems are
automatically activated:
ț The front seat belts are pre-tensioned
electrically.
ț If the vehicle is in a severe skid or is
spinning, the door windows and the
tilt/sliding sunroof close until a small
gap remains.
Vehicles with front passenger seat memo-
ry function*:
ț If the seat is in an unfavorable position,
it will be adjusted to a better position.
If the seat belts do not release:
̈ Adjust the backrest or seat slightly to
the rear until the seat belt tension is di-
minished.
The locking mechanism releases.
Warning! G
The PRE-SAFE
®
system is intended to re-
duce the effects of a crash on properly
seat-belted vehicle occupants. Despite hav-
ing the PRE-SAFE
®
system in your vehicle,
the possibility of injuries occurring as a re-
sult of an accident cannot be eliminated.
Therefore, you should always drive carefully
and adjust your driving to the prevailing
road, weather, and traffic conditions.
i
If the closing procedure of the tilt/sliding
sunroof or door window is blocked, the tilt/slid-
ing sunroof or door window will stop and open
slightly.
i
The PRE-SAFE
®
system is activated in the
previously described circumstances only at
speeds exceeding 20 mph (30 km/h).
When the critical driving dynamic situation has
passed without an accident occurring, the
pre-tensioning on the seat belts is deactivated.
You can then adjust the seat, the door windows
and the tilt/sliding sunroof to their previous po-
sition.
