Abstract
A motor vehicle includes a pre-safe system, which contains at least one vehicle periphery detection device and a suspension and shock absorber unit. The suspension and shock absorber unit is arranged between a chassis and a vehicle body and can be activated as a function of signals that are detected by the vehicle periphery detection device and evaluated in a data evaluation device. The data evaluation unit of the vehicle periphery detection device is connected to a control device of an active chassis control system, which activates the suspension and shock absorber unit, to perform a vehicle level adjustment that is predefined for the respective impact situation.
