Frontal blow:

The proprietary PRE-SAFE system is included in the basic configuration for ML-Class. This system “foresees” the collision and leads security systems to a state of readiness. Pre-Safe was not activated on tested specimens. The passenger salon and the recess for the legs were not deformed significantly. The testimony of mannequins sensors indicate good protection of the knees and hips of the front riders. The manufacturer managed to prove that the same security level is provided by riders of various growth in a different position.

Safety of passenger children:

Warnings were recognized as insufficient about the danger of installing a children's chair at the site of the front passenger and informing about the status of a pillow of safety. As an option for a car, a system is offered that recognizes the installation of a corporate child seat in the place of the front passenger and disconnects the airbag. There were neither her nor branded children's seats Mercedes on the tested samples. Without such equipment, it is impossible to install a children's chair “against the direction of movement” to the place of the front passenger, since the airbag cannot be disabled manually. The presence of the possibility of installing a chair using the ISOFIX mount system in the rear seats is not properly indicated.

Side blow:

The maximum assessment is set for lateral blows on the ceiling and pole.

Pedestrian safety:

The bumper and the front edge of the hood provided weak protection of the legs of pedestrians. Also, the surface of the hood was unsafe for children's heads.
