 | | | Mercedes-Benz concept that shapes the future of safety |
 |
Mercedes-Benz has always provided the leading edge in automobile safety. Rather than drawing a distinction between active and passive safety, this concept combines both types of safety systems into a forward-thinking integrated safety philosophy that is uniquely Mercedes-Benz.
A wide range of intelligent features contributes to relaxed, stress-free driving. Supplemented by assistance systems which monitor the driving situation at all times, detecting and warning of imminent dangers... and intervening if necessary. When an accident is unavoidable, a host of sophisticated measures are deployed in milliseconds to reduce the risk of serious injury. There are even features that are designed to provide protection should an accident be unavoidable. To sum it all up:
This integral safety concept from Mercedes-Benz covers a host of innovations designed to protect occupants before, during and after an accident.
"Safe Driving" includes features that help avoid hazards, reduce driving stress, provide timely warnings and help in critical situations.
"In the event of danger phase" incorporates features that anticipate a collision and activates a series of measures that are designed to minimize impact.
"In an accident phase" offers protective features like crash-responsive head restraints, which provide vital support and ensure the driver remains in the best possible position to survive an inevitable collision.
And "after an accident phase" minimizes danger in the aftermath of a collision, by cutting off engine power and fuel supply, and unlocking the doors.This phrase springs into operation after the initial impact to prevent further harm and also assist in rescue efforts. |
