When it comes to safety, you already know Mercedes-Benz is working to stay one step ahead of the game. That’s why they’ve developed PRE-SAFE®, a first-of-its-kind feature that will tense up the vehicle in the event that a collision may be imminent. PRE-SAFE® uses sensors to initiate braking power, tighten seatbelts, adjust headrests and close all the windows and sunroof to prepare the passengers for a possible collision. If no collision occurs, everything will return to its previous state.
