PERFORM-SAFE and PRE-SAFE`

A comprehensive approach to safety

PRO-SAFE™ – the safety philosophy of Mercedes-Benz

Rather than drawing a distinction between active and passive safety, PRO-SAFE™ combines both types of safety system into a forward-looking integrated Mercedes-Benz safety philosophy. Our approach to safety at Mercedes-Benz doesn’t just extend from ABS to ESP` – it extends from A to Z.

The standard of comfort on board makes the driver’s job easier, while assistance systems permanently monitor the driving situation. If certain dangers arise, the driver can be warned and supported. As a precaution, reversible protective measures can take effect, providing therequiredprotectionfortheoccupantsintheeventofan accident.AndtheprotectionofferedbyPRO-SAFE™ doesn’t stop once an accident occurs. Specific measures can help prevent anything worse from happening, reducing, for example, the likelihood of secondary accidents.

As you can see, at Mercedes-Benz we take a comprehensive, joined-up approach to safety. And this approach forms the heart of PRO-SAFE™.

PERFORM-SAFE

One of many safety systems whose purpose is to anticipate and prevent dangerous situations before they develop is DISTRONIC proximity control, which helps you to keep the required distance from the vehicle in front in the 30km/h to 180km/h speed range
