When you drive a PRESAFE® Mercedes-Benz in Marion, a network of sensors on the exterior of the vehicle works to detect potential collisions. If an accident is about to happen PRESAFE® activates numerous features to keep you and your passengers safe, and sometimes it can even prevent the collision from happening.
If your Mercedes-Benz PRESAFE® system detects a potential collision, some of the possible responses from the system include:
The Mercedes-Benz PRESAFE® system does collision and injury avoidance down to the smallest details. Like protecting your hearing in case of a collision. PRESAFE® Sound emits “pink noise” at the 80-decibel mark. A typical collision generates an average of 145 decibels, which is louder than most rock concerts. Airbag deployment adds even more noise, bringing it to a dangerous level. The pink noise causes your inner ear and eardrum to briefly disconnect so the noise doesn’t damage your hearing.
Another addition to the PRESAFE® technology is PRESAFE® Impulse Side. By nature, side collisions offer less of a built-in crumple zone for protection. PRESAFE® Impulse Side was designed with this in mind and helps move occupants away from the acute danger zone if a side impact is detected.
