Buying a new car can be exciting, you will want to take care of your car and make the best choice possible. But taking that step to buy a vehicle can also be a very nerve-wrecking step. There are thousands of car companies around the world with a wide variety of models and vehicle types. Just like television brands, certain car brands have distinct and unique features that set them apart from the competition. Mercedes-Benz has consistently proven that their features and reputation makes them one of the best automobile company brands in the world. Their safety features are top-of-the-line and should really be considered if it is time for a car upgrade.
Pre-Safe
Mercedes-Benz has been keenly invested in making sure that their vehicles are one of the safest on the roads. The technology has advanced year after. Pre-Safe is a safety package that uses the advanced sensors on the vehicle to detect if an accident is going to occur. If something like extreme skidding occurs, the sensors will tell the vehicle to engage Pre-Safe. Pre-Safe tightens the seat belts to prevent jerking, adjusts the head rest to lower the chance of head-injury and closes the windows and sunroof to improve safety.
Night View Assist Plus
This next feature is perfect for late night drives on dark roads. Using infrared beams with a special camera, the screen console shows a real-time view of the road. The combination of both technologies allows the car to detect an object and put a frame around them on the screen to make them more visible. Both cold and warm objects can be sensed so that there are no dark road scares.
Distronic Plus
One of the best safety features is the Distronic Plus with pre-safe brake. This awesome feature was created to combat the very high number of rear-end car accidents. This technology also uses radar sensors to examine the traffic ahead when the vehicle is going from 20 mph to 120 mph. If traffic is slowing down or coming to a stop, the vehicle engages the brakes to lower speeds, notifies the driver, and begins the pre-safe system. If the driver steps on the brake during this time, the brakes will 100% engage, even if only slight pressure is given. If the traffic speeds back up, Distronic Plus automatically matches up to the flow of traffic.
Attention Assist
For years, driver fatigue was something automotive companies couldn’t try to prevent. Many accidents occurred and often ended fatally. With the use of artificial intelligence, attention assist takes note of the first 70 minutes of driving to learn the style and common manoeuvres. Using this information, it can detect if any odd manoeuvres were made that may be because of drowsiness. After checking other possible parameters to the movement and determining that the driver may have fatigue, a message is displayed to rest.
Safety Is Important to Mercedes-Benz
Safety is a high priority to Mercedes-Benz and features like these that show that. Something so small like a fatigue alarm can make an enormous difference. The entire team at Sandown Group is willing to show these features at Mercedes Guildford used cars. The safety features have to be experienced in person to get the full understanding of the Mercedes system.
