If you put the car in a severe skid and a roll-over is suspected, PRE-SAFE will also close the windows and sunroof. If nothing happens, the seatbelts return to their relaxed position, and you can reposition the front seats, windows and sunroof to your comfort.

Pre-Safe
Not necessarily. The Pre-Safe isn't available on the E-Class the last time I checked. It's just the "basic" seatbelt tensioner working it's magic.
