PRE-SAFE
®
PLUS can implement thefo llowing
measures independently of each other:
R Tightening the seat belts on the driver's seat
and front passenger seat.
R Activating there ar hazard warning lights at a
higher flashing frequenc y.
R Increasing brake pressure when theve hicle
is stationar y.This brake application is cancel‐
led automatically when theve hicle pulls
aw ay.
If an accident did not occur, the pre-em ptive
measures that we retake n are reve rsed.
Sy stem limitations
The sy stem will not initiate any action in thefo l‐
lowing situations:
R when reve rsing
or
R when theve hicle is towing a trailer and there
is a risk of a rear impact The sy
stem will not initiate any braking applica‐
tion in thefo llowing situations:
R whilst driving
or
R when entering or exiting a parking space
while using Active Parking Assist Safely transporting

Also strictly obser vethe saf ety no tesfo rthe
specific situation. In this wa yyo u can recog‐
nise po tential risks and avoid dangers if chil‐
dren are tr avelling in theve hicle
(0013 page 46).
Be diligent
Bear in mind that neglecting tosecure a child in
th ech ild restra int sy stem may ha veserious con‐
sequences. Alw ays be diligent in securing a child
carefully before every journe y. To
impr ove pr otection forch ildren younger than
12 years old or under 1.50 m in height,
Mercedes-Benz recommends you obse rvethe
fo llowing information:
R Alw ays secure thech ild in a child restra int
sy stem suitable forth is Mercedes-Benz vehi‐
cle.
R The child restra int sy stem must be appropri‐
ate tothe age, weight and size of thech ild.
R The vehicle seat must be suitable forfitting a
ch ild restra int sy stem (0013 page 52).
Ac cident statistics show that children secured
on there ar seats are generally sa ferth an chil‐
dren secured on the front seats. Forth is reason,
Mercedes-Benz stronglyadvises that youfit a

relie ve you of your responsibility per‐
ta ining toroad traf fic la w.Pay attention tothe
traf fic conditions at all times and inter vene
when necessa ry. Be aware of the limitations
re ga rding the safe use of these sy stems. Fu
nction of thera dar senso rs Some driving and driving sa
fety sy stems use
ra dar sensors tomonitor the area in front of,
behind or next totheve hicle (depending on the
ve hicle's equipment).
Depending on theve hicle's equipment, thera dar
sensors are integrated behind the bumpers
and/or behind the Mercedes star. Keep these
parts free of dirt, ice and slush
(0013 page 422). The sensors must not be cov‐
ered, forex ample bycycle rack s, overhanging
loads, sticke rs,fo il or foils toprotect against
st one chipping. In theeve nt of dama getothe
bumpers or radiator grille, or following a collision
impacting the bumpers or radiator grille, ha ve
th e function of thera dar sensors checked at a
qu alified specialist workshop. The driver assis‐
ta nce sy stem may no longer workproper ly. Overview of driving sy
