C43 Hugs me.
Just wandering and I didnt want to ask in the other forums as it does come across as a bit snobbery, but do all MB new cars give hugs you when you put the seat belt on?

No, I don't have the performance exhaust.

Jk, yes all my passengers get surprised when the seatbelt hugs you

Mine does too. I'm pretty confident you can turn this feature off via the instrument cluster.

Yes, all the recent MB cars give the hug, but as someone mentioned already it can be disabled.

I like it. Makes me feel like someone cares. I actually brake extremely late when I feel too lonely. It hugs the breath out of me.

The seat belt will tighten up it's tension briefly I believe after buckling up and starting the car.

It’s actually nice stabilizing your upper body when braking into a corner. First time it did it while driving was a surprise.

Doesnt suprise me that this feature has been around in Mercedes for a while and is found in most classes of Mercedes, however do other cars have this feature or is it reserved generally for higher spec cars.
