Mercedes-Benz CL Coupé: safety

The integral safety concept from Mercedes-Benz divides vehicle safety into four phases.

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 greatest possible protection: the engine can be switched off automatically and the fuel supply cut off.
  • Conspicuous lighting: the hazard warning lamps and emergency interior lighting can be activated automatically to prevent follow-on accidents and make it easier to find the accident vehicle.
  • Excellent escape potential: the doors can be unlocked automatically.
  • Improved access: the integrated crash joints between the wing and door can speed up rescue work by allowing the doors to be opened more easily from the inside or the outside after a frontal collision.
