What is Mercedes-Benz PRESAFE®?

Mercedes-Benz changed the landscape of active safety features with the introduction of PRESAFE® to the Mercedes-Benz lineup in 2003. PRESAFE® works to keep you safe by helping prevent or mitigate an accident on Oxford streets. Find out more about how the revolutionary PRESAFE® technology works today.

Mercedes-Benz PRESAFE® Features

PRESAFE® uses a network of sensors in order to detect when you are in danger of a collision in your C-Class or other Mercedes-Benz vehicle. The system monitors for things like extreme skidding which indicate the likelihood of an accident. When the system determines that a collision is imminent, PRESAFE® prepares for impact by:

• Tightening the front seat belts
• Adjusting the front head restraints
• Adjusting the front passenger’s seat
• Closing the windows and sunroof

Mercedes-Benz PRESAFE® Sound

More recent Mercedes-Benz vehicles also benefit from the addition of PRESAFE® Sound. If an accident is indicated, PRESAFE® Sound emits an interference signal from the vehicle’s audio system in order to trigger a reflex in the ears of vehicle occupants. This static noise, called pink noise, ultimately protects Oxford families from the pressures and sounds of a loud collision.
