What Are the Key Mercedes-Benz Safety Technology Features?

Mercedes-Benz safety features can be broken up into 4 major categories of Mercedes-Benz safety. These include features that protect you and your vehicle, features that prevent accidents from even happening, features that ensure any unavoidable accident is well investigated and documented for your insurance company, and features that enhance visibility in every scenario with advanced lighting. Read on to learn more about Mercedes-Benz technology features:

Protection Features

In the event of an accident, your car will protect you with a host of crumple zones throughout the chassis. These are designed to absorb the force of the impact so that that force has been minimized as much as possible by the time it reaches the cabin. Meanwhile, front-, side-, and seatbelt airbags will deploy in order to further minimize impact. The seatbelt airbags are designed to protect your rib cage!

Prevention Features

Are Mercedes-Benz cars safe? You bet. They even implement sensors that prevent accidents before they ever happen. Here are three such systems that help you to avoid dicey driving situations:

  • PRE-SAFE®: This system uses sensors to detect the possibility of an accident before it occurs. In the event that a collision is inevitable, it will automatically tighten seatbelt restraints, adjust headrests, close all windows, and emit pink noise to protect your hearing from the volume of the crash.
  • Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC®: When you use cruise control, this system intelligently maintains a steady distance between your vehicle and the vehicle in front and behind you.
  • ATTENTION ASSIST®: This system monitors you, the driver, and if it detects fatigue or unpredictable driving behaviours, it will alert you and encourage you to rest.

Accident Investigation Features

This isn’t a unique feature, per se. It’s worth noting, however, that Mercedes-Benz safety features such as PRE-SAFE®, ATTENTION ASSIST®, and Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC® collect data about any accident that occurs, including the angle of collision, speed of impact, and more.

Lighting Technologies

  • Adaptive Highbeam Assist: This lighting system features a camera that it uses in order to gauge the brightness of the headlights of other vehicles. With this information, it automatically adjusts the brightness of your headlight to reduce glare.
  • Night View Assist PLUS: This system utilizes a camera that feeds an infrared view of the roads ahead to your in-dash touchscreen. It can sense hot and cold objects, giving you a clearer view of harder-to-see items on the road at night.
  • LED Intelligent Light System: This system intelligently adjusts the angles of your headlamps to point at the road ahead, even when taking on curves or turning. It will also optimize the length and brightness of your beams to maximize visibility.
