New S Class W221
Mercedes-Benz
The PRE-SAFE® preventive occupant protection system is becoming even more effective. In the future S-Class, which will celebrate its world premiere in autumn of 2005, Mercedes-Benz is combining PRE-SAFE® with the new anticipatory Brake Assist PLUS, which uses radar to detect vehicles up ahead on the road and issues a warning when the vehicles come too close. When there is the risk of an accident, the system calculates in the blink of an eye the required braking power, which is immediately supplied when the driver applies the brakes. In critical braking situations, the front seatbelts are also tightened as a preventive measure, while the inflatable seat cushions are pumped up and the seats are brought into a position that provides the vehicle’s occupants with maximum protection in the event of a collision, in keeping with the PRE-SAFE® concept.
