Brake Assist (BAS) The Brake Assist can provide protection against accidents by recognising emergency braking situations based on the speed with which the brake pedal is depressed and then automatically builds up full braking power. The anti-lock braking system (ABS) then meters the braking power up to the slip threshold, which is how steering control is maintained. Once the driver releases the brake pedal, the automatic brake boosting is immediately terminated.
ADAPTIVE BRAKE braking system The integral ADAPTIVE BRAKE system improves ride comfort and safety by helping to execute critical braking manoeuvres with the basic function of the ABS anti-lock braking system and making difficult driving situations easier with convenience functions. These include the HOLD function which acts like a parking brake and can be activated by briefly depressing the gas pedal. The HOLD function then keeps the vehicle from rolling unintentionally when stopped at a light or in stop-and-go traffic. The hill-start assist prevents the vehicle from rolling back unexpectedly on inclines when changing from the brake to the gas pedal. The "brake drying" function ensures that full braking power is available even under wet conditions. And with the "priming" programme the system reduces the response time of the brakes.

Headlamp Assist
Belt tensioners with belt force limiters, front and outer rear seats
NECK-PRO head restraint system in front, crash-responsive The crash-responsive NECK-PRO head restraint system is designed to reduce the risk of whiplash injuries. NECK-PRO is fully integrated into the front head restraints and supports the head earlier in the event of a rear-end collision. If the sensors register a crash, they release a pre-tensioned spring that pushes the head restraints forwards and upwards. After deployment, the head restraints can be pushed back to their original position by hand.
