Pro-Safe™, the Mercedes-Benz safety philosophy, represents a forward-thinking, holistic approach to safety. Pro-Safe™ features four elements: Perform-Safe, Pre-Safe®, Passive-Safe and Post-Safe.

Being comfortable in the car helps to reduce driver stress. In addition, a variety of assistance systems are constantly monitoring the driving situation and will warn or help the driver the moment certain dangers are identified. Protective measures such as reversible belt tensioners are activated as a precaution. And should the worst come to the worst, the level of occupant protection provided is fully appropriate to the severity of the accident.

But Pro-Safe™ doesn’t stop working when there’s an incident. Even after an impact, the system takes steps to prevent the situation becoming worse, for instance automatically activating the hazard warning lights to reduce the probability of secondary accidents.

So you see, safety at Mercedes-Benz is seen as part of an overall concept, an integrated system. And that's precisely the strength of Pro-Safe™.
