  • COLLISION PREVENTION ASSIST
    

    COLLISION PREVENTION ASSIST

    At speeds above 20 mph, this new system's radar-based technology alerts the driver if they're approaching a vehicle ahead at a speed and distance that suggest a collision is likely. It can also detect stationary objects when driving at speeds up to 40 mph. Its Adaptive Brake Assist automatically provides the ideal level of braking as soon as the driver steps on the brake pedal. And if deemed necessary, the system can also activate PRE-SAFE®. Along with helping to prevent or reduce the severity of a collision, the system's engagement of the brake lamps can help to alert the drivers behind your E-Class earlier as well. Disclaimer

    disclaimer3-3

    COLLISION PREVENTION ASSIST may not be sufficient to avoid an accident. It does not react to certain stationary objects, nor recognize or predict the curvature and/or lane layout of the road or every movement of vehicles ahead. It is the driver´s responsibility at all times to be attentive to traffic and road conditions, and to provide the steering, braking and other driving inputs necessary to retain control of the vehicle. Drivers are cautioned not to wait for the system´s alerts before braking, as that may not afford sufficient time and distance to brake safely.
  • ATTENTION ASSIST®
    

    ATTENTION ASSIST®

    The first system of its kind, ATTENTION ASSIST continuously monitors different parameters of driving behavior, and can automatically alert the driver with both visual and audible warnings if it detects signs of drowsiness on long trips. New enhancements to the system in the 2014 E-Class help detect drivers who begin their trip drowsy, offer more useful information to drivers along their journey via a new dashboard display, and can even help locate a nearby rest area using the available navigation system. Disclaimer

    disclaimer3-4

    Driving while drowsy or distracted is dangerous and must be avoided. ATTENTION ASSIST may be insufficient to alert a fatigued or distracted driver of lane drift and cannot be relied on to avoid an accident or serious injury.
  • PRE-SAFE®
    

    PRE-SAFE®

    A Mercedes-Benz first, PRE-SAFE can detect instability during certain vehicle maneuvers that suggest a collision or rollover is imminent. It can then tighten the front seat belts, adjust the front passenger seat, and close the windows and sunroof, all in an effort to better prepare the occupants and restraints in the moments before a collision. If no accident occurs, the seat-belt tensioners reverse, and you simply readjust your seat, open the sunroof and continue on your way. Disclaimer

    disclaimer3-5

    PRE-SAFE closes the side windows when the system's sensors detect side movements that suggest a possible rollover. A small gap is left near the fully closed position.
  • Adaptive braking technology
