Detecting Potential Accidents with PRESAFE® Mercedes-Benz 

The Mercedes-Benz PRESAFE® system is comprised of a network of sensors that scan Frankfort roads and wheel slippage to determine if you’re about to have an accident. If the system determines your vehicle is at risk of an accident, it activates a variety of sensors that work to prevent the accident from happening. When that’s not possible, this system mitigates the force of the accident and maximizes everyone in the cabin’s safety.

PRESAFE® Mercedes-Benz Functions 

The Mercedes-Benz PRESAFE® protects you from harm in a variety of ways. Here are just several of the actions this suite of safety technologies takes to keep you safe when it detects the threat of an impending accident: 

• It will close the windows and sunroof to keep debris from the accident from entering the cabin if it determines the possibility of a rollover.
• It increases the tension of the seatbelt tensioners to ensure you’re well-strapped in.
• Front head restraints are repositioned to maximize crash protection and minimize potential injuries. 
• The PRESAFE® Impulse Side feature moves cabin occupants away from the crumple zones. 
• PRESAFE® Sound emits pink noise when the volume reaches 80 decibels to protect hearing during the crash. Pink noise protects hearing by weakening the connection between the ear and eardrum, which makes the Stapedius muscle contract. 

What Does “PRESAFE® Functions Limited” Mean?

If your vehicle’s information panel displays the warning, “PRESAFE® Functions Limited,” that means that there’s an issue with your sensors. In most cases, the sensors simply need to be cleaned or adjusted. Our mechanics can take care of this quickly and affordably.
