Sound: provided that the multime-
dia system is switched on, generating a brief
noise signal to stimulate the innate protective mechanism of a person\bs hearing.*NOTE Damage caused by objects in the
footwell or behind the seat
The automatic adjustment of the seat position
may result in damage to the seat and/or the object.
Stow objects in a suitable place.
Backing up the PRE-SAFE n
system measures
If an accident did not occur, the pre-emptive
measures that were taken are reversed.
You will need to perform certain settings yourself.
If the seat belt pre-tensioning is not reduced,
move the seat backrest back slightly.
The locking mechanism releases.Function of PRE-SAFE n
PLUS (anticipatory occu-
pant protection plus)
PRE-SAFE n
PLUS can detect certain impacts, par-
ticularly an imminent rear impact, and take pre-
emptive measures to protect the vehicle occu-
pants. These measures cannot necessarily pre-
vent an imminent impact.
PRE-SAFE n
PLUS can implement the following
measures independently of each other:
= Tightening the seat belts on the driver\bs seat
and front passenger seat.
= Increasing brake pressure when the vehicle is
stationary. This brake application is canceled
automatically when the vehicle pulls away.
If an accident did not occur, the pre-emptive
measures that were taken are reversed.
System limits
The system will not initiate any action in the fol- lowing situations:
= when backing up
The system will not initiate any braking application
in the following situations:
= whilst driving
or
= when entering or exiting a parking space while
using Active Parking Assist
Function of PRE-SAFE n
Impulse Side
If an imminent side impact is detected, PRE-
SAFE n
Impulse Side can pre-emptively move the
front seat vehicle occupant\bs upper body towards
the center of the vehicle. It does this by rapidly
inOating an air cushion in the outer seat side bol-
ster of the seat backrest on the side on which the impact is anticipated. This increases the distance
between the door and the vehicle occupant.
If PRE-SAFE n
Impulse Side has been deployed or
is faulty, the PRE-SAFE Pulse Side Inoperative
