Mercedes-Benz PRESAFE®

Mercedes-Benz C-Class Front End View


If an accident is about to occur on the Branford streets, the Mercedes-Benz PRESAFE® system activates. To ensure the safety of you and your passengers, the system takes precautionary measures to protect you, and it’s available in many Mercedes-Benz models. Find out more about this high-tech safety system at Mercedes-Benz of North Haven near New Haven.

What Does the PRESAFE® Mercedes-Benz System Do?

The PRESAFE® system on your Mercedes-Benz kicks in when it senses an accident is about to take place. It then takes the following steps to protect you from harm:

  • For maximum crash protection, the front head restraints adjust and move to the best position for preventing passenger injuries.
  • To prevent debris from entering the cabin, the windows and sunroof close if a rollover is possible. 
  • Increased tension in the front safety belts protects occupants from injury. 

In addition to PRESAFE®, select Mercedes-Benz models also come with PRESAFE® Sound which emits a tone that protects your hearing from loud noises that can occur during a collision. The PRESAFE® and PRESAFE® Sound safety systems work in tandem with other Mercedes-Benz features to give you more peace of mind while exploring Cheshire and beyond.

Which Mercedes-Benz Models Include PRESAFE®?

The Mercedes-Benz PRESAFE® system can be found standard or available on the following models:

What Does “PRESAFE® Functions Limited” Mean?

If you see “PRESAFE® Functions Limited,” pop up on your Mercedes-Benz display, service may be needed. It will show this message on the vehicle’s information panel located just behind the steering wheel. This usually means a sensor needs adjustment or cleaning. Either way, you’ll want to schedule service with Mercedes-Benz of North Haven and have a certified technician take a look.
