Viano: Safety

To make sure you can get all your passengers, both large and small, to their destination with complete peace of mind, we have devised a coherent and holistic safety concept for the Viano. It is based on a safety body with a high-strength passenger compartment accompanied by a host of sensible safety components.

Safe driving

The majority of accidents start long before the actual collision: with a lapse in concentration, poor visibility or hazards which cannot be anticipated. That’s why the Mercedes-Benz safety concept employs a range of measures to support safe driving in everyday operation and to help you bring critical situations under control.

During an accident

Cars from Mercedes-Benz have a host of safety systems to prevent accidents. Should the worst come to the worst, however, a number of occupant safety measures are activated. They include protection for the vehicle occupants as well as for other road users.

After an accident

To reduce consequential damage after an accident and support the work of the rescue services, a number of different actions are initiated, depending on the type and severity of the accident:

  • Optimum protection: the engine can be switched off automatically and the fuel supply can be cut off. 

  • Safe lighting: the hazard warning lamps and the emergency interior lighting can be activated automatically in order to prevent consequential accidents and make it easier to find the accident vehicle.
  • Good escape possibilities: the side windows can be partially lowered as necessary and the doors can be automatically unlocked.

To complete its holistic safety philosophy, Mercedes-Benz has also published multilingual rescue guidelines (accessible worldwide on the internet) as a preventive measure for rescue services.
