Safety and Security Occupant safety PRE-SAFE® takes action in the following instances: Emergency braking maneuver and the Brake Assist System (BAS) ( page 67) is activated or when BAS Plus* ( page 68) is strongly intervening. Critical dynamic driving situations, e.g. when the vehicle is understeering or oversteering because it has exceeded its physical limitations. Evasive steering maneuvers at speeds above 20 mph (30 km/h). When you are driving faster than 20 mph (30 km/h), PRE-SAFE® takes the following measures in such situations: If the OCS senses that the front passenger seat is occupied and the seat is in an unfavorable position, it will be adjusted to a better position. The system increases the air pressure in the air pockets (on the sides of the seat cushion and backrest) of the drive-dynamic multicontour front seats*. If the vehicle is understeering or oversteering, the tilt/sliding sunroof and the front side windows also close until only a small gap remains. Once the hazardous situation is over without an accident occurring, PRE-SAFE® decreases the air pressure in the air pockets of the drive-dynamic multicontour front seats*. You can readjust all of the settings made by PRE-SAFE®. ! When moving the seat, make sure there are no items in the footwell or behind the seats. Otherwise you could damage the seats. Children in the vehicle If an infant or child is traveling with you in the vehicle: Secure the child using an infant or child restraint appropriate to the age and size of the child. Make sure the infant or child is properly secured at all times while the vehicle is in motion. Warning! i If the closing procedure of the tilt/sliding sunroof or side windows is blocked, the tilt/sliding sunroof or side windows will stop and open slightly. G If the seat belts do not release: Adjust the backrest or seat slightly to the rear until the seat belt tension is diminished. The locking mechanism releases. Do not leave children unattended in the vehicle, even if they are secured in a child restraint system. The children could injure themselves on parts of the vehicle be seriously or fatally injured through excessive exposure to extreme heat or cold 57
