With yours and your passengers’ safety at the forefront, Mercedes-Benz is committed to ensuring that all of our vehicles are well equipped to protect all riders.  Every Mercedes-Benz vehicle is engineered to reduce the likelihood of accidents as well as decreasing the level of damage in the event of an accident.  Equipped with various crumple zones, the Mercedes-Benz vehicles are designed to keep the cabin isolated along with an advanced airbag system.  This advanced airbag system provides protection for the head, knees, and more with side impact airbags that deploy in the rear of the vehicle.  The seatbelts are reinforced with airbags which distribute the force of the impact resulting in added rib cage protection. Mercedes-Benz aims to prevent accidents before they even occur with their top of the line safety features.  The following are just a few of the highly advanced safety features that are available on Mercedes-Benz vehicles.
