Selected for a specific purpose, integrated for a specific purpose: materials which selectively reinforce the body structure and protection-affording combinations of steel, glass and plastics.

Patently intelligent: ingenious design and overlapping systems provide particularly effective protection at especially critical points.

Mobile in an emergency too: special run-flat systems see to that. Even if the tyres completely deflate.

Special glass with important properties: high strength, plus splinter-proofing owing to a layer of polycarbonate on the inside.

Special suspension: specially reinforced components and even a full suspension redesign ensure the safety and ride comfort of a Mercedes despite a weight gain of as much as 70%.

From ESP® to ABS: the electronic control systems in a Mercedes-Benz Guard are reprogrammed. They reflect precisely the added weight and the handling characteristics this gives rise to.

The integral safety system of Mercedes-Benz: the S-Guard, like the new S-Class, offers optimal vehicle safety, but also high safety in traffic.

Whether ballistic tests, crash tests, or modified electronic control systems – changes required for special-protection purposes are literally spelled out in the specifications book for a Mercedes-Benz Guard. This principle is termed integrated protection.

Perfectly concealed under the skin of a standard car is a network of protective components which make Mercedes-Benz special protection vehicles safe houses on wheels.

Since 1929 people trust our special protection vehicles. We take the greatest pains to justify to this trust. That you can count on in future too. In every Mercedes-Benz Guard. On every resistance level.
