Mercedes-Benz C-Class Estate: safety

The integrated safety concept from Mercedes-Benz

Phase 1: safe driving

Phase 2: in critical situations

Phase 3: in an accident


Phase 4: 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:

  • The best possible protection: the engine can be switched off automatically and the fuel supply can be cut off

    Conspicuous 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 doors can be automatically unlocked

    Measure to aid rescue: integral crash joints between the wing and the door can make opening the doors after a frontal collision easier
