The windowbags are integrated into the side
of the roof frame They are located between
the front door (A-pillar) and the rear windows
(D-pillar). Windowbags
:are deployed:
R at the start of an accident with a high rate
of vehicle acceleration or deceleration in a
lateral direction
R on the side on which an impact occurs
R independently of the front airbags
R regardless of whether the front-passenger
seat is occupied
R independently of the seat belt use PRE-SAFE
®
* system
PRE-SAFE ®
system takes pre-emptive meas-
ures to protect you in certain hazardous sit-
uations.
PRE-SAFE ®
intervenes in the event of:
R emergency braking situations, e.g. if the
BAS Brake Assist intervenes
R critical situations involving driving dynam-
ics, e.g. if the vehicle oversteers or under-
steers significantly due to physical limits
being exceeded If you are driving faster than approximately
30 km/h,
PRE-SAFE®
may take the following
measures in these situations:
R it tensions the front seat belts.
R on vehicles with memory functions*: it
adjusts the front-passenger seat if this is in
an unfavourable position.
R if the vehicle skids, it closes the sliding/
tilting sunroof* and the side windows so
that only a small gap remains.
if the hazardous situation passes without
resulting in an accident, PRE-SAFE ®
slackens
the belt pretensioning. You can then reverse
all settings made by PRE-SAFE ®
.
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
When adjusting the seat, make sure that
nobody can become trapped.
! Make sure that there are no objects in the
footwell or behind the seats when adjusting
the seats. You could otherwise damage the
seats and the objects. NECK-PRO head restraints/NECK-
PRO luxury head restraints*
NECK-PRO head restraints/NECK-PRO luxury
head restraints are designed to increase pro-
tection of 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 when viewed in
the direction of travel. This provides better
head support. G
Risk of injury

Risk of injury
Make sure that the central area of the head
restraint supports the back of your head at
about eye level. You could seriously injure
your neck if your head is not correctly sup-
ported by the head restraint in the event of an
accident. Never travel without a correctly
adjusted and engaged head restraint.
! When you move the seats, make sure that
there are no objects in the footwell or
behind the seats. Otherwise, you could
damage the seats and the objects.
! When the rear bench seat is folded for-
wards, the front seats cannot be moved to
their rearmost position. Otherwise, you
could damage the seats and the rear bench
seat.
! Make sure that the sun visor is folded up
before setting the backrest angle and head
restraint height. Otherwise, the head
restraint and sun visor could collide when
the head restraint is fully extended.
i The rear-compartment head restraints
can be removed (Y page 69).
Please contact a Mercedes-Benz Service
Centre for more information. Adjusting the seat electrically i
If PRE-SAFE ®
is triggered in vehicles with

G
Risk of accident
If incident light from headlamps is prevented
from striking the sensor in the rear-view mir-
ror, for instance, if the safety net is fitted, the
mirror’s automatic anti-dazzle function will
not work.
Incident light could then dazzle you. This may
prevent you from observing the traffic condi-
tions, thereby causing an accident. In this
case, adjust the rear-view mirror manually. Memory functions*
Storing settings
Using the memory button you can store up to
three different settings, e. g. for three differ-
ent people.
The following settings are stored as a single
memory preset:
R position of the seat, backrest and head
restraint
R driver's side: steering wheel position
R driver's side: position of the exterior mir-
rors on the driver's and front-passenger
sides G
Risk of injury
The memory function can still be used when
the key has been removed. For this reason,
children should never be left unsupervised in
the vehicle. Otherwise, they could become
trapped when moving the seat or the steering
wheel. G
Risk of accident
Only use the memory function on the driver’s
side when the vehicle is stationary. Other-
wise, you could be distracted from the traffic
conditions by the steering wheel and seat
moving of their own accord, and as a result
cause an accident. X
Adjust the seat ( Ypage 64).
X On the driver's side, also adjust the steer-
ing wheel (Y page 70) and the mirrors
(Y page 72).
X Press memory button Mand press storage
position switch 1,2or 3within three sec-
onds.
The settings are stored in the selected pre-
set position. A tone sounds when the set-
tings have been completed. Calling up a stored setting
X Press and hold the relevant storage posi-
tion button 1,2or 3, until the seat, steering
wheel and exterior mirrors are in the stored
position.
i The setting procedure is interrupted as
soon as you release the storage position
switch. Passenger side exterior mirror park-
ing position
To make it easier to park, you can set and
store the front-passenger side exterior mirror
position in such a way that you can see the
rear wheel on that side as soon as you engage
reverse gear. 74
