R if the radar sensor system detects an immi-
nent danger of collisio nincertain situa-
tions (on vehicles with DISTRONIC PLUS)
R in critical driving situations, e.g. when phys-
ical limits are exceed and the vehicle under-
steers or oversteers severely
PRE-SAFE ®

depending on the hazardous situation detec-
ted:
R the fron tseat belts are pre-tensioned.
R it improves the seat position if, under acci-
dent conditions, the passenger seat is in an
