Advanced restraints. The R-Class provides a 3-point seat belt

NECK-PRO active front head restraints help to prevent whiplash.
Tire safety. An advanced Tire Pressure Monitoring System can
show the inflation pressure of all four mounted tires in the in-dash

that can travel up to 50 miles at up to 50mph after a puncture.
