The braking bag deploys underneath the ESF to increase resistance and lift the bumper to meet the car in front of it in a collision. (Mercedes-Benz)
Side-impact beams are inflated by airbag-type charges to increase their diameter and strength milliseconds before impact. (Mercedes-Benz)
The passenger airbag uses four internal straps to adjust its size to match the seating position of the occupant. (Mercedes-Benz)
A rigid, vertical airbag keeps passengers in position, and prevents them from hitting each other in the event of an accident. (Mercedes-Benz)
The belt bag inflates to distribute the force of impact, lessening injuries for back seat passengers. (Mercedes-Benz)
