What Does the PRESAFE® Mercedes-Benz System Do?
If your Mercedes-Benz car senses that an accident is going to take place, the PRESAFE® system will kick in. It takes the steps below to protect you from harm:
- The front head restraints adjust for maximum crash protection by moving to the best position for preventing passenger injuries.
- The windows and sunroof close if a rollover is possible to prevent debris from entering the cabin.
- Increased tension in the front safety belts protects occupants from injury.
What is PRESAFE® Sound?
Some Mercedes-Benz vehicles come equipped with the PRESAFE® addition PRESAFE® Sound. This safety feature emits a specific “pink noise” that works within the inner ear to cause a reaction protecting your hearing from loud noises.
