Occupant safety
Automatic comfort-fit feature seat belt
Your vehicle automatically takes preven-
tive measures to better protect the occu-
pants in the following hazardous
situations:
i
The PRE-SAFE® systems are activated
in the previously described circum-
stances only at speeds exceeding
22 mph (35 km/h).
An automatic comfort-fit feature for front
seats and for the rear outer seats (only for
vehicles with electrically adjustable rear
bench seat* or with individual seats* in the
rear) reduces the retracting force of the
seat belts when they are in normal use.
ț
You execute an emergency braking ma-
neuver and the Brake Assist System
(୴ page 80) is activated.
When the driving dynamic situation has
passed without an accident occurring,
the pre-tensioning on the seat belts is
deactivated.
ț
The PRE-SAFE® system detects a criti-
cal driving dynamics situation.
Preventive occupant safety
(PRE-SAFE®)

automatically activated:
You can then adjust the seats and the
tilt/sliding sunroof to their previous po-
sition.
Warning!

ț
A front seat belt with the seat belt
buckled is pre-tensioned electrically.
The PRE-SAFE® system is intended to re-
duce the effects of an accident on properly
seat-belted vehicle occupants. Despite hav-
ing the PRE-SAFE® system in your car, the
possibility of injuries occurring as a result of
an accident cannot be totally eliminated.
Therefore you should always drive carefully
and adjust your driving to the prevailing
road, weather, and traffic conditions.
If the seat belts do not release:
ț
If the occupied front passenger seat or
rear seats are in an unfavorable posi-
tion, they are adjusted to a better posi-
tion. Rear seat adjustment occurs only
in vehicles with individual seats* in the
rear.
̈
Adjust the backrest or seat slightly to
the rear until the seat belt tension is di-
minished.
The locking mechanism releases.
ț
The tilt/sliding sunroof closes if the ve-
hicle is in a severe skid or is spinning.
