understeers significantly due to physical
limits being exceeded or if the vehicle
swerves to avoid an obstacle at aspeed of
over 14 0km/h.
PRE-SAFE ®
takes th efollowin gmeasures
dependin gonthe hazardou ssituation detec-
ted:
R the fron tseat belts are pre- tensio ned.
R vehicles with memory fun ctions: under
acciden tconditions, it adjusts the front-
passenger seat if it is in an unfavourable

R vehicles with amulticontour seat: the air
pressure in the seat side cushions and in
the backrest side bolsters is increased.
R if the vehicle skids ,the fron tside windows
and, on the Coupé, the panorama sliding
sunroof, are closed so that only asmall gap
remains.
If th ehazardous situation passe swithout
resulting in an accident ,PRE-SAFE ®
slackens
the belt pretensioning. The air pressure in the
side bols terson the multicontour seat is redu
