PRO-SAFE™, the Mercedes-Benz safety philosophy, represents a forward-thinking, holistic approach to safety.

Being comfortable in the car is a first step towards reducing 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. Should the worst come to the worst, the occupants will, for example, be protected by the robust safety passenger cell and by adaptive airbags and windowbags. Furthermore, the smooth lines of the bodywork and the flexible bumpers are designed to protect other road users. But PRO-SAFE™ doesn't stop working when there's an accident. Even then, the system takes steps to prevent the situation becoming worse e.g. by reducing the probability of secondary accidents.

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