Safety is a top priority for Mercedes-Benz. Even though they have recently updated their seat belts, they felt they were still not safe enough. So, they have improved them again with a feature that uses motors in the B- and C0 pillars. These motors serve to adjust the tension of the seat belt after it is buckled. The seat belts are extended and illuminated so you can easily enter the car, find the locking mechanism and fasten them. When they are fastened, they retract to provide the correct tension around the lower pelvis and thorax.
Head of Passive Safety and Vehicle Functions at Mercedes-Benz Cars, Prof. Dr. Ing. Rodolfo Schöneburg said, “Active seat-belt buckle is another element of our ‘PRE-SAFE®’ concept, which is intended to provide our customers with optimum protection in real accident scenarios. After all, we aim to offer a high standard of safety not only in all model series, but also in all seats. In the rear of premium saloons in particular, passengers tend to sit in particularly relaxed positions in the generous space which is available,” continues Schöneburg. “Active seat-belt buckle as part of PRE-SAFE® unlocks the full potential of the on-board restraint systems.”
