Electronic Stability Program (ESP

)

This advance continually monitors your vehicle’s motion to help keep you going in your intended

direction. If it detects wheelspin, severe understeer (plowing) or oversteer (shtailing), ESP

can brake individual wheels and reduce engine power to help bring the vehicle under control.

Mercedes-Benz pioneered this safety landmark in 1995 and has continued to rene its exacting

performance ever since.

Standard all models.

Body structure

A range of precision safety elements work together to protect you and your passengers in the

event of a collision. While High-Strength/Low-Alloy steel in important areas of the vehicle

helps to form an exceptionally rigid structure, advanced front and rear crumple zones deform

progressively to help absorb the energy of an impact. A front bulkhead also helps channel some

of the forces of a frontal impact under, over and around the cabin.

Standard all models.

Seat belts

Equipped with Emergency Tensioning Devices (ETDs) and belt force limiters,

seat belts are

arguably our most important passive safety feature. If a collision exceeds a preset threshold,

the ETDs instantly remove slack from the seat belts. Belt force limiters allow a slight amount

of give in the seat belts and reduce the peak seat-belt forces on the occupant.

Standard all models.

Mercedes-Benz safety philosophy

At Mercedes-Benz, safety goes well beyond

engineering vehicles that help protect you in an

accident. Our safety philosophy takes a proactive

approach to many aspects of driving safety: active

safety systems, such as the Electronic Stability

Program and Brake Assist, help you avoid a

potentially dangerous situation; PRE

SAFE enables

the vehicle to anticipate and make adjustments

to prepare for certain potential collisions; passive

safety features include air bags and seat-belt

tensioners; and post-collision features like

automatic engine cutoff are designed to reduce

the risk to occupants in the immediate aftermath

of an accident, help prevent worsening of the

situation and facilitate rapid assistance by rescue

workers. No other automaker has a more complete

view of safety than the one that invented crumple

zones and other safety advancements.

PRE

SAFE

Mercedes-Benz originated this landmark system,

and it’s still the only manufacturer to offer it

standard. PRE

SAFE acts decisively to prepare for

a possible accident. PRE

SAFE uses sensors from

two of the active safety systems already inside the

vehicle: Brake Assist and our Electronic Stability

Program (ESP

). If system sensors detect certain

vehicle movements that indicate an accident is

possible, PRE

SAFE takes action to help protect

the vehicle’s occupants. Electric tensioners

tighten the seat belts of the front-seat occupants.

PRE

SAFE adjusts the occupied front passenger’s

seat to a more favorable position for air-bag and

seat-belt effectiveness. In the event of severe

skidding, which indicates that a rollover is likely,

PRE

SAFE will close the sunroof

and windows.

no accident occurs, the tensioners loosen and you

simply readjust your seat, open the sunroof and

continue on your way.

Standard all models.

Brake Assist (BAS)

Research has shown that drivers rarely apply the brakes hard enough, soon enough during an

emergency situation. BAS monitors pedal application speed to sense emergency braking and,

in such cases, can deliver maximum stopping power.

Standard all models.

Integrated Restraint System

Our 8-air-bag system offers 10-way protection, including dual-stage front air bags, front- and

2nd-row side-impact air bags and full-length Window Curtain Air Bags along the sides of the

vehicle. (E 350 Wagon Window Curtain Air Bags extend only to the 2nd row.) With properly worn

seat belts, Window Curtain Air Bags help protect outboard occupants from head injury and

broken glass in certain side impacts or rollovers that exceed the deployment threshold.

Standard all models.

Active Front Head Restraints

In the case of a rear impact exceeding a preset threshold, the Active Front Head Restraints move

forward and slightly upward, reducing the distance between the head restraint and the front-seat

occupants’ heads. This action helps limit the rearward travel of their heads, thus reducing the

possibility or severity of whiplash-type neck injuries.

Standard all models.
