- Intelligent Light System with specific lighting functions to match the relevant road and weather conditions (optional)
- Night View Assist PLUS with automatic person detection (optional)

- Lane Keeping Assist warns the driver as soon as it detects that the driver has unintentionally left a recognised marked lane. In addition, Active Lane Keeping Assist can react with lane-correcting brake application (optional)
- Blind Spot Assist warns the driver when vehicles are detected in the area of poor visibility, the so-called "blind spot". Additionally, the system can counteract a possible collision by specific application of the brakes on one side of the vehicle, if the driver does not react to the warning (optional)
- Active Parking Assist with PARKTRONIC can detect parking spaces and display the steering manoeuvres required to park on the instrument cluster (optional)
- Reversing camera, e.g. with "back-in" mode with dynamic guide lines for reversing into narrow parking bays or to aid with the coupling of trailers (optional)
- Driver and front passenger seat belts are tensioned
- Windows are closed
- Sliding sunroof is closed
- Front passenger seat is adjusted (if optional Memory package is included)
- Design of the front axle carrier as a crash element, which is able to deform in a specific manner and in the case of an offset crash, for example, can divert the energy to the side of the vehicle opposite the side of impact
- Guide ramp on the brake booster, thus preventing unwanted block formation between the brake booster and the damper dome. The brake booster is also rotated to minimise possible brake pedal intrusion
- A crash joint ensures that the mudguard is pushed away at the driver's door, and prevents the door from jamming after the impact. For the most part the doors can be opened without much effort
- Ultra-high-strength steels in the A-pillar enhance the stability of the passenger compartment in both front impacts as well as in different rollover scenarios, primarily enabling doors to be opened easily after an offset crash
- Projected sills create a direct load path to the front wheel. As a result, any possible forcing or intrusion of the wheels into the footwell can be avoided
- Optimum energy conversion in the event of a front crash despite relatively short front-end length, thanks to enabling the load paths from the crashbox to the longitudinal body member, from the wheel to the sill, and due to the deformable subframe, which guides the forces into the centre tunnel via the engine/transmission joint
- The energy-absorbing steering column deforms up to 100 millimetres when subjected to external forces, thus freeing up additional deformation space for energy conversion. As a result, the loads on the driver can be reduced in the area of the head, neck and thorax
- Similar to the design of the front area of the M-Class, the vehicle's intelligent bodyshell design also performs impressively in side-impact accident scenarios. The specific distribution of high rigidity and high deformability helps to ensure that the occupants benefit from favourable kinematics in the event of a side impact:
- The lower part of the B-pillar, an important component in side impacts, is highly compressible, whereas its upper part is extremely rigid. As a result, intrusions and the speed of intrusions in the lower area are reduced, while in the upper area high-strength steels on the exterior sides of the pillar prevent it from buckling unfavourably in a side impact. In addition, this design solution increases the stability of the passenger compartment in the event of a rollover
- The stiffening of the floor structure by means of a supporting element made of an ultra-high-strength material running across the entire width of the vehicle, and ultra-high-strength reinforcements in the driver's seat crossmember, help to reduce deformations, primarily in the event of a pole impact. As a result, the occupant survival space benefits from even better protection, and the thorax load on the occupants is reduced
- The geometry and body connections of the pillars and the roof frame made of ultra-high-strength material have been optimised to provide the best possible crash safety
- Two-stage adaptive airbags for the driver and front passenger
- Kneebag for the driver
- Sidebags for the driver and front passenger (combined thorax/pelvis bags)
- Sidebags in the rear row of seats as an option
- Windowbags across both rows of seats from the A- to the C-pillar
- 3-point seat belts on all five seats
- Pyrotechnic reel tensioners and permanent belt force limiters as well as electrically reversible belt tensioners in the front, reel tensioners and single-stage force limiters for the outer seats in the rear
- ISOFIX child seat attachment points
- Belt height adjustment for the driver and front passenger
- Belt status display for the rear-seat passengers in the instrument cluster
- Automatic child seat recognition (optional) with deactivation of the front passenger airbag if a special Mercedes-Benz child seat is used
- In a rear-end collision, a passive head restraint system developed specifically for this purpose can reduce the forces exerted on occupants
