In an accident<br />
The <strong>CLS</strong> provides a safer environment, even in the event of a possible collision. Multiple protective measures are activated to help protect the occupants and significantly<br />
mitigate the consequences of accidents.<br />
Airbags (standard). Nine airbags are fitted to protect you<br />
and your passengers: front airbags which are deployed<br />
in two stages, depending on the accident severity and<br />
accident characteristics, windowbags as well as sidebags<br />
and pelvisbags for the driver and front passenger.<br />
The kneebag can further reduce the forces exerted<br />
on the driver during an accident. Rear sidebags on both<br />
sides are available as an option.<br />
Seat belts and NECK-PRO head restraints (standard).<br />
Seat belts are an essential part of occupant protection.<br />
Active elements make them even safer. Belt tensioners<br />
powered by electric motors react within a fraction of<br />
a second ahead of a possible accident and thus reduce<br />
the forces exerted on the occupants. In addition to this,<br />
the NECK-PRO head restraints for the driver and front<br />
passenger can be activated in the event of a rear impact,<br />
depending on the impact severity: a spring mechanism<br />
The NECK-PRO head restraints can reduce the risk of whiplash significantly<br />
in a rear impact<br />
pushes them forwards and upwards, meaning that<br />
support for the head can be provided earlier and the<br />
load exerted on the cervical vertebrae can be reduced.<br />
The energy-absorbing crumple zones in the front and rear sections, an<br />
extremely robust safety passenger cell, and the doors with special reinforcing<br />
elements form an effective defensive barrier in an emergency
