PLUS (anticipatory occu-
pant protection system PLUS)
Introduction
PRE-SAFE
®
PLUS is only available in vehicles
with the Driving Assistance package.
Using the radar sensor system, PRE-SAFE
®
PLUS is able to detect that a head-on or rear-
end collision is imminent. In certain hazardous
situations, PRE-SAFE
®
PLUS takes pre-emptive
measures to protect the vehicle occupants.
Important safety notes
The intervention of PRE-SAFE
®
PLUS cannot
prevent an imminent collision.
The driver is not warned about the intervention
of PRE-SAFE
®
PLUS.
PRE-SAFE
®
PLUS does not intervene if the
vehicle is backing up.
When driving, or when parking or exiting a
parking space using Active Parking Assist,
PRE-SAFE
®
PLUS will not apply the brakes.
Function
PRE-SAFE
®
PLUS intervenes in certain situa-
tions if the radar sensor system detects an
imminent head-on or rear-end collision.
PRE-SAFE
®
PLUS takes the following meas-
ures depending on the hazardous situation
detected:
R
if the radar sensor system detects that a
head-on collision is imminent, the seat belts
are pre-tensioned.
R
if the radar sensor system detects that a
rear-end collision is imminent:
-
the brake pressure is increased if the
driver applies the brakes when the vehicle
is stationary.
-
the seat belts are pre-tensioned.
The PRE-SAFE
®
PLUS braking application is
canceled:
R
if the accelerator pedal is depressed when a
gear is engaged
R
if the risk of a collision passes or is no lon-
ger detected
R
if Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC indi-
cates an intention to intervene
If the hazardous situation passes without
resulting in an accident, the original settings
are restored.

dent

measures are implemented, depending on the
