Re
versing the PRE- SAFE®
sy stem measures If an accident did not occur,
the pre-em ptive
measures that we retak en are reve rsed.
Yo u will need toper form certain settings your‐
self. #
Ifth e seat belt pre-tensioning is not reduced,
mo vethe seat backrest back slightl y.
The locking mechanism releases. Fu
nction of PRE-SAFE ®
PLUS (anticipatory
occupant pr otection plus) PRE-
SAFE®
PLUS can de tect cer tain impacts,
particular lyan imminent rear impact, and take
pre-em ptive measures toprotect theve hicle
occupants. These measures cannot necessarily
pr eve nt an imminent impact.
PRE-SAFE ®
PLUS can implement thefo llowing
measures independently of each other:
R Tightening the seat belts on the driver's seat
and front passenger seat.
R Activating there ar hazard warning lights at a
higher flashing frequenc y. R
Increasing brake pressure when theve hicle
is stationar y.This brake application is cancel‐
led automatically when theve hicle pulls
aw ay.
If an accident did not occur, the pre-em ptive
measures that we retake n are reve rsed.
Sy stem limits
The sy stem will not initiate any action in thefo l‐
lowing situations:
R when reve rsing
or
R when theve hicle is towing a trailer and there
is a risk of a rear impact
The sy stem will not initiate any braking applica‐
tion in thefo llowing situations:
R whilst driving
or
R when entering or exiting a parking space
while using Active Parking Assist Safely transporting
children in theve hicle Alw
ays obser vewhen children are tr avelling
in theve hicle %
Also strictly obser vethe saf ety no tesfo rthe
specific situation. In this wa yyo u can recog‐
nise po tential risks and avoid dangers if chil‐
dren are tr avelling in theve hicle
(/ page 46).
Be diligent
Bear in mind that neglecting tosecure a child in
th ech ild restra int sy stem may ha veserious con‐
sequences. Alw ays be diligent in securing a child
carefully before everyjou rney.
To impr oveprotection forch ildren younger than
12 years old or under 1.50 m in height,
Mercedes-Benz recommends you obse rvethe
fo llowing information:
R Alw ays secure thech ild in a child restra int

generative brake sy stem Fu
nction of there ge nerative brake sy stem
Depending on the selected recuperation le vel,
th e electric mo tor is operated as an alternator
when in overru n mode and du ring braking in
order tocharge the high-voltage battery while
driving. As soon as youre lease the accelera tor
pedal when theve hicle is in motion, recupera‐
tion in overru n mode is initia ted.
The rege nerati vebrake sy stem has thefo llowing
ch aracteristics:
R suppo rts braking with an electronically con‐
trolled brake forc e boosting
R con verts th e kinetic energy of theve hicle
into electric energy
In the drive program, you can use thesteering
wheel gearshift paddles tomanually adju st theintensity of
recuperation in overru n mode
(/ page 161).
Sy stem limits
The braking ef fect of the electric mo tor during
re cuperation in overru n mode may be reduced or
may not be available at all in thefo llowing situa‐
tions:
R when the high-voltage battery charge level
inc reases
R ifth e high-voltage battery is not yet at a nor‐
mal operating temp erature
R when driving at speeds close tozero
R in transmission position i
R during and af ter ESP ®
inter venes
In these cases, the desired deceleration is set by
th e brake control sy stem. Also brake with the
service brake if necessar y.
Manually setting recuperative deceleration
Yo u can use thesteering wheel gearshift paddles
to manually adju stthe intensity of recuperation
in ove rrun mode. The higher
there cuperation, the more sharply
th eve hicle is braked when coasting and the
more electrical energy is fed into the high-volt‐
age batter y.
% The standard setting is automatically set

engaging transmission position h. #
Toincrease recuperation: briefly pull gear‐
shift paddle 1. #
