WARNING Risk of injury duetomalfunc‐
tions in there stra int sy stem
Components in there stra int sy stem may be
activated unintentionally or not deploy as
intended in an accident. #
Have there stra int sy stem checked and
re paired immediately at a qualified spe‐
cialist workshop. Fu
nction of there stra int sy stem in an acci‐
dent How
there stra int sy stem works depends on the
se verity of the impact de tected and the apparent
type of acciden t:
R Frontal impact
R Rear impact
R Side impact
R Rollover
The activation thre sholds forth e components of
th ere stra int sy stem are de term ined based on
th eev aluation of the sensor values measured at
va rious points in theve hicle. This process is pre-
em ptive in nature. The triggering/deployment of
th e components of there stra int sy stem must
ta ke place in good time at thest art of the colli‐
sion.
Fa ctors whi chcan only be seen and measu red
af te r a collision has occur red cann otplay a deci‐
sive role in airbag deployment. Nor do they pro‐
vide an indication of airbag deployment.
The vehicle may be deformed significantly with‐
out an airbag being deplo yed. This is the case if only parts which are
relatively easily deformed
are af fected and thera te ofvehicle deceleration
is not high. Con versely, an airbag may be
deplo yedev en though theve hicle suf fers only
minor deformation. If very rigid vehicle parts
such as longitudinal members are hit, this may
re sult in suf ficiently high le vels of vehicle decel‐
eration.
Depending on the de tected deployment situa‐
tion, the components of there stra int sy stem can
be activated or deplo yed independently of each
ot her:
R Seat belt tensioner: frontal impact, rear
impact, side impact, rollo ver
R Driver's airbag, front passenger airbag: fron‐
talimpact
R Knee airbag: frontal impact
R Side airbag: side impact
R Window airbag: side impact, rollo ver,frontal

PLUS (anticipatory
occupant pr otection plus) PRE-
SAFE®
PLUS can de tect cer tain impacts,
particular lyan imminent rear impact, and take
pre-em ptive measures toprotect theve hicle
occupants. These measures cannot necessarily
pr eve nt an imminent impact.
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 limits
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 Fu
nction of PRE-SAFE ®
Impulse Side If an imminent side impact is de
tected, PRE-
SA FE®
Impulse Side can pre-emptively mo vethe
front seat vehicle occupant's upper body
to wa rdsth e cent reoftheve hicle. It does this by
ra pidly inflating an air cushion in the outer seat
side bols ter of the seat backrest on the side on
which the impact is anticipated. This increases Occupant saf

tomatic measures af ter an accident
Depending on the type and se verity of the acci‐
dent, and depending on theve hicle's equipment,
th efo llowing measures can be implemente d,for
ex ample:
R automatic braking (post-collision brake)
R activating the hazard warning lights
R triggering an automatic emerge ncy call
(/ page 335)
R switching off the engine
To restart theve hicle, switch the ignition off
and switch it back on (/ page174).
Depending on the type and se verity of the
accident, it is possible that theve hicle can
no longer be star ted. R
switching off the fuel supply
R unlocking theve hicle doors
R lowe ring the side windo ws
R displaying the emer gency guide in the multi‐
media sy stem display
R switching on the interior lighting
Fu nction of the post-collision brake
Depending on the accident situation, the post-
collision brake can minimise the se verity of a fur‐
th er collision or even avo id it.
If an accident is de tected, the post-collision
brake can implement automatic braking. When
th eve hicle has come toast andstill, the electric
parking brake is automatically applied.
The driver can cancel automatic braking bytak‐
ing thefo llowing actions:
R braking more stronglythan automatic brak‐
ing
R fully depressing the accelerator pedal with
