vehicles with the memory function: the
front-passenge rseat is adjusted if it is in an
unfavourable position.
R vehicles with amulticontour seat or active
multicontour seat: the air pressure in the
side bolsters of the backrest is increased.
If the hazardous situation passes without
resulting in an accident, PRE-SAFE ®
slackens
the beltp re-tensioning. On vehicles with mul-
ticontour seats/active multicontour seats,
the air pressure in the side bolsters is reduced
again. All settings made by PRE-SAFE ®
can
then be reversed.
If the seat beltp re-tensioning is not reduced:
X Move the seat backrest or seat back
slightly when the vehicl eisstationary.
Seat beltp re-tensioning is reduced and the
locking mechanism is released.
The seat-belt adjustment is an integral part of
the PRE-SAFE ®

mation about the convenience function can

emptive measures to protect the vehicle
occupants.

tion of PRE-SAFE ®

tions if the rada rsensor system detects an
imminent head-on or rear-end collision.
PRE-SAFE ®
PLUS takes the following meas-
ures depending on the hazardous situation
