Mercedes-Benz Canada - Facts and figures

The integral safety concept from Mercedes-Benz is the guiding force behind a series of linked technologies that come into play in the critical moments before, during and after an accident.

First, the Electronic Stability Program (ESP®) continuously monitors your vehicle’s motion to help keep it going in your intended direction. If ESP® detects wheel spin, severe understeer (plowing) or oversteer (fishtailing), the system can brake individual wheels and reduce engine power to help bring the vehicle back under control[1]. And the CLS-Class is equipped with the ADAPTIVE BRAKE system to dry the brake pads off periodically when the windshield wipers are on.

Brake Assist (BAS) automatically boosts braking power, applying the brakes faster and harder than the average human reaction in case of an impending collision. If a rear-end collision should occur, the crash-responsive NECK-PRO head restraints for the driver and front passenger deploy, minimizing neck injuries. In the event of a frontal collision, intelligent sensors determine whether the impact is a minor one or more severe and adjusts the inflation of the two-stage front airbags accordingly[2]. In a front or rear-end collision exceeding a specific threshold, front, side and window curtain airbags can be activated in accordance with the type and severity of the impact. Additionally, belt tensioners on all seats instantly pull the belts tight against the occupants to reduce the kinetic force exerted on their bodies. These innovations ensure that every trip you take in the CLS-Class is always a safe one.
