Pretty sure the answer's no. You need the distronic radar tech in the car, I'd think.

Bummer!

That is a pretty good feature. I thought it was standard.

It uses the same radar system that distronic uses. It is excellent and definitely not a gimmick....

I think this is a consequence of an unfortunate naming convention.

"Presafe" is the feature that will closer your windows / sunroof, pretension your seatbelts, etc., if it thinks you're about to wreck. As far as I know, this is standard -- perhaps even on all MB's.

"Presafe Brake" is the auto-stop feature that you're referring to, and I believe it only comes with the distronic package (adaptive cruise).
