How Does Mercedes PRESAFE® Respond to Potential Collisions? 

PRESAFE® from Mercedes-Benz uses various sensors around the vehicle to keep track of the roads around Pasadena, and identify any potential collisions that could occur. If it detects a potential collision, the system will activate a variety of different features to limit the potential for serious injury to you or your passengers.

Mercedes-Benz PRESAFE®: Preventative Actions

To help reduce the risk posed by collisions around Alhambra, the system is constantly monitoring road conditions and reacting to potential accidents. Let’s learn more about how Mercedes-Benz PRESAFE® protects your passengers:

• The restraints on the front headrests are optimized for protection in any type of crash, reducing the amount of potential injuries.
• Both the windows and sunroof are automatically closed to stop any flying objects from entering the passenger area.
• The seat belt tensions are activated to keep all occupants secured.

What is PRESAFE® Sound?

In select Mercedes-Benz vehicles, you will also get PRESAFE® Sound. This technology is a safety feature that can protect your inner ear from the loud noises that are common in collisions. So, how does this PRESAFE® Mercedes-Benz system work? If a noise exceeds 80 decibels, this technology produces “pink noise” that weakens the connection between your inner ear and eardrum temporarily by contracting the stapedius muscle.

What is PRESAFE® Impulse Side?

Another feature of the PRESAFE® system is the PRESAFE® Impulse Side, also available on select Mercedes-Benz models. This technology helps both the driver and passengers during a side impact collision, as it helps to bridge the gap in the vehicle’s side crumple zones.

Why Do Some Drivers See “PRESAFE® Functions Limited” in their Mercedes-Benz?

Do you see a message that says “PRESAFE® Functions Limited”? This warning means that your PRESAFE® system needs to be diagnosed by a Mercedes-Benz technician. The “PRESAFE® functions limited” Mercedes-Benz alert usually means that a sensor needs to be adjusted or cleaned. To have this done by one of our certified technicians, schedule a service appointment with our service center.
