REVEAL
Brilliant lighting.
Bright white LED Daytime Running Lamps and LED
taillamps help make your presence more apparent to other drivers. Part
of the Premium 2 Package, Bi-Xenon headlamps create light that’s more
like natural daylight than halogen lamps. They also feature Active Curve
Illumination and Adaptive Highbeam Assist. These two advanced systems
continuously vary the beam pattern of the headlamps, to maximize the
illumination of both corners and straightaways, without causing glare for
other drivers. The package also includes a headlamp washing system.
ATTENTION ASSIST.
By continually monitoring a variety of driving
behaviors, this Mercedes -Benz innovation can audibly and visually
alert the driver if it detects signs of drowsiness on long trips. More
than 70 variables are measured in the first minutes of each drive, to
establish a pattern and determine the warning thresholds accordingly.
8
Night View Assist PLUS with Pedestrian Detection.
When driving
in darkness, this remarkable option projects infrared beams that are
invisible to the human eye, and then reads them with a special camera.
The system displays a clearer, supplemental real-time view of the road
ahead on the large screen that’s positioned high in the dash. It can
also help identify and point out pedestrians along a dark roadway.
9
Rear view camera.
When backing up, this option (standard on Wagons)
shows a live view of the area behind your E-Class on the in-dash screen.
10
PREPARE
PRE-SAFE.
A Mercedes-Benz first, PRE-SAFE can help detect instability
during certain vehicle maneuvers that suggest that a collision or rollover
is imminent. It can then tighten the front seat belts, adjust the front
passenger seat and close the windows — all in an effort to better prepare
the occupants and restraint systems in the moments before a collision.
11
Accident avoidance.
Two safety systems pioneered by Mercedes-Benz
help you avoid potential collisions. The Electronic Stability Program (ESP)
monitors the vehicle’s response to driving inputs such as steering and
braking, and responds to help keep the vehicle on course during extreme
maneuvers.
4
Brake Assist can maximize braking pressure if it detects an
emergency braking situation — based on how quickly the driver steps on
the brake pedal — potentially shortening your overall stopping distance.
12
Adaptive braking.
The 4 -wheel disc brakes incorporate technology to
help make driving more reassuring and relaxing in a variety of situations.
If the driver lifts off the accelerator quickly, Predictive Brake Priming sets
the pads closer to the discs for quicker response when the driver steps
on the brakes. In the rain, Automatic Brake Drying periodically applies
the brakes just enough to sweep away water buildup on the discs. During
uphill starts, Hill-Start Assist helps prevent unwanted rollback. And a
HOLD feature can help make driving in stop-and-go traffic a little easier.
12
REACT
DISTRONIC PLUS.
This optional radar-based cruise control system, yet
another Mercedes-Benz innovation, adapts your set speed in response
to the flow of traffic ahead — automatically slowing until your path is clear
again. If the vehicle ahead slows to a stop, DISTRONIC PLUS can also
brake to a full halt, then resume automatically when traffic starts going.
13
PRE-SAFE Brake.
Even if you’re not using cruise control, DISTRONIC
PLUS can help detect an impending collision with a vehicle ahead. Its
PRE - SAFE Brake system can alert the driver and automatically apply
up to 100% braking force, to help reduce the severity of an impact.
12
Advanced restraints.
Nine standard air bags offer 11- way protection.
14
A driver’s knee air bag augments the dual-stage front air bags. Pelvic air
bags complement the front-seat side-impact air bags. Side curtain air
bags are provided at the outboard seating positions in both the first and
second rows, as are seat-belt Emergency Tensioning Devices (ETDs) and
belt-force limiters. Rear side-impact air bags are optional. And in a rear
impact, NECK-PRO active front head restraints help to reduce whiplash.
Active Blind Spot and Lane Keeping Assists.
These optional systems
can alert you to some unseen vehicles in the adjacent lane,
15
and can
warn you of unintended drifting across visible lane markings.
8
Both
systems are also available with advanced active technology that can help
guide the car back into its own lane if the driver disregards the alerts.
