Mercedes-Benz Safety Van

The Mercedes-Benz Sprinter sets many safety standards in its category. The Sprinter is not only versatile, powerful, and comfortable, but also offers a favorable blend of exemplary ride comfort and exceptional driving safety. All models are of course equipped with Adaptive ESP®, comprising the Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS) and Acceleration Skid Control (ASR).

Active Safety Features: Acceleration Skid Control (ASR), Adaptive Brake Light, Adaptive ESP® electronic stability program, Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS), Bi-xenon headlamps with static cornering light function, Brake Assist (BAS), Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBV), Hill-Holder (AAS), Rain sensor with Headlamp Assist, Rear camera as a reversing aid, Tire Pressure Control (not with twin tires).

Passive Safety Features: Co-driver's front airbag (single and double seats), Crash-resistant occupant cell, Exterior mirror with additional integrated wide-angle mirrors, Practical load-securing system, Thorax bags for driver and co-driver, Window bags for driver and co-driver, 2-way head restraints and seat belts for all occupants, 4-way head restraints and front airbag for the driver.

A further option is the hill-holder (AAS), which prevents the vehicle from unintentionally rolling back during the changeover from brake to accelerator pedal when setting off from standstill on an incline. Each seat is fitted with 3-point seat belts and heightadjustable head restraints. The outside positions in the cockpit also include belt tensioners and force limiters. The full-size front airbag for the driver is standard, while front airbags for the co-driver(s), thorax bags and window bags are optionally available. In an accident, the occupants of the Sprinter Safety Van benefit from its sturdy body structure with predefined deformation elements. The energy of impact is thus partly dissipated through its longitudinal members and the drivetrain.
