If you are driving faster than approximately
35 km/h, PRE-SAFE ®
takes the following
measures in the aforementioned situations:
R It tensions the front seat belts.
R On vehicles with the memory package*: it
adjusts the front-passenger seat to a more
favourable position.
R If the vehicle skids, it closes the sliding/
tilting sunroof* or panorama sliding/tilting
sunroof* and the side windows, leaving a
small gap.
If the hazardous situation passes without
resulting in an accident, PRE-SAFE ®
releases
the belt pretensioning. You can then readjust
the front-passenger seat and, on vehicles
with the memory package*, the sides win-
dows and the sliding/tilting sunroof* or pan-
orama sliding/tilting sunroof* .
If the seat belts are not released:
X Move the backrest or the seat back slightly
until the belt tension is reduced.
The locking mechanism releases. G
Risk of injury
Make sure that nobody can become trap -
ped as you adjust the seat. !
Make sure that there are no objects in the
footwell or behind the seats when adjustin g
the seats. You could otherwise damage the
seats and the objects . NECK-PRO head restrain
t
NECK-PRO head restraints are designed to
increase protection to the driver's and front-
passenger's head and neck. To this end, the
head restraints on the driver's and front-
passenger seats are moved forwards and
upwards in the event of a rear-end collision in
the direction of travel. This provides better
head support. G
Risk of injury
Head restraint covers prevent the NECK -
PRO head restraints from triggering cor-
rectly. Consequently, the NECK-PRO head
restraints cannot provide the intended level
of protection. Do not use head restraint
covers .
If the NECK-PRO head restraints are triggered
in an accident, you must reset the head
restraints on the driver's and front-passenger
seats (Y page 303). Head restraints that have
been triggered are tilted forwards. Children in the vehicle
If a child is travelling in your vehicle, secure
the child, preferably on a suitable seat in the
rear, using a child restraint system appropri-
ate to the size and age of the child and rec-
ommended for Mercedes-Benz vehicles. If
possible you should do this on a suitable rear
seat.
You can obtain information about the correct
child restraint system from any Mercedes-
Benz Service Centre.
i It is advisable to use Mercedes-Benz care
products to clean child restraint systems.
You can obtain information about this from
any Mercedes-Benz Service Centre. G
Risk of injury
Do not leave children unsupervised in the
vehicle, even if they are secured in a chil d
restraint system. They could be injured on
parts of the vehicle. They could be seriously
or even fatally injured by prolonged expo-
sure to extreme heat or cold.
Do not expose the child restraint system to
direct sunlight. The metallic parts of the
child restraint system could heat up and the
child could be burned by them. Safety
