An advanced pre-collision system, the Mercedes-Benz PRESAFE® pre-collision system takes steps to protect vehicle occupants in the event a potential accident is detected. This is just one of the many technologies that Mercedes-Benz uses to provide peace of mind when you’re on the road in La Mesa and Chula Vista. See how this feature works below with Mercedes-Benz of El Cajon!
The PRESAFE® Mercedes-Benz system includes a network of sensors that work together to detect potential collisions. This intelligent pre-collision system then takes action the moment a potential collision is detected and activates numerous features for your protection.
So, what actions does PRESAFE® take in your Mercedes-Benz? Once the system senses a possible collision, PRESAFE®:
In addition to the Mercedes-Benz PRESAFE® system, some Mercedes-Benz models come equipped with PRESAFE® Sound. This feature helps protect your inner ear from damage that can occur due to the loud noises that accompany a crash. To do this, the PRESAFE® Sound emits a “pink noise” when a noise around 80 decibels is reached. This noise then triggers the stapedius reflex. This weakens the connection between the inner ear and eardrum for a short time by contracting the stapedius muscle.
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.
Your vehicle may require service if you see “PRESAFE® Functions Limited” displayed. This warning can be found behind the steering wheel on the vehicle’s information panel and most often means a sensor needs to be adjusted or cleaned. The service center at Mercedes-Benz of El Cajon is trained in all Mercedes-Benz systems and can quickly take care of the task at hand.
The Mercedes-Benz PRESAFE® system is only one of the many thoughtful Mercedes-Benz safety features available. Connect with the Mercedes-Benz of El Cajon team to learn more about the features found in our new Mercedes-Benz vehicles today!
