Mercedes-Benz Safety and Driver-Assistive Tech

When you choose a Mercedes-Benz, you're choosing more than a refined ride – you’re choosing a car that’s built with your safety in mind. At Berglund Luxury Lynchburg in Lynchburg, VA, we know our customers expect more than just great looks and smooth performance. That’s why every Mercedes-Benz comes equipped with safety tech that’s constantly working in the background to help you stay aware, stay alert, and stay protected. Below, we’ll break down some of the key features that come together to help keep you, your passengers, and everyone around you safer on the road.

Advanced Safety Features and What They Do

Mercedes-Benz safety features are designed to do their job quietly, without getting in your way. From helping you avoid trouble to protecting you when it matters most, these systems work together behind the scenes to keep you focused, comfortable, and in control.

• Adaptive Highbeam Assist: Let your lights think for you. This system automatically adjusts your high beams based on surrounding traffic – so you get the visibility you need without blinding other drivers.
• ATTENTION ASSIST®: Driving while tired is dangerous. This system monitors over 70 parameters to detect fatigue, steering changes, and lane behavior. If it detects drowsiness, it’ll alert you to pull over.
• PRE-SAFE®: When a collision seems imminent, this feature takes proactive steps. Seat belts are tightened, front head restraints are adjusted, and windows and the sunroof are closed to protect occupants.
• Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC®: Adaptive cruise control that goes beyond the basics. It maintains your set speed and adjusts automatically to keep a safe following distance in traffic – even stopping and starting with the flow.
• Blind Spot Assist: Alerts you with visual and audio cues if a vehicle is detected in your blind zone. It also intervenes with brake pressure if you begin to change lanes dangerously.
• Rearview and Surround Cameras: HD visual displays offer enhanced views around your vehicle, including curb and top-down perspectives to aid in tight spaces.
• Car-to-X Communication: In select models, your vehicle can communicate with nearby Mercedes-Benz cars to warn about hazards like black ice or stalled vehicles ahead.
• Active Brake Assist: Uses radar to detect impending collisions and can apply the brakes automatically to prevent or reduce the severity of impact.
• Evasive Steering Assist: Helps you steer safely around an obstacle while maintaining control during sudden avoidance maneuvers.
