Driving assistance systems
Introduction of the New E-Class Coupé, Model Series 207
b
General
Modern assistance systems in passenger cars effec-
tively contribute towards accident avoidance. This
was the result of analyses carried out by
Mercedes-Benz based on representative data from
accident research and the evaluation of real-life acci-
dents.
On average, these technologies can help to prevent
one fifth of all tail-end collisions involving passenger
cars in Germany alone. The accident figures on free-
ways can be reduced by around 36%.
New systems
The following driving assistance systems are available
for the new E-Class coupé depending on the equip-
ment package selected:
• Adaptive Highbeam Assist
• ATTENTION ASSIST
Familiar systems
In addition, model series 207 also features driving
assistance systems which are familiar from other
model series. These include the following systems:
• Exclusive Parking Assist
• Reversing camera
• DISTRONIC PLUS including BAS PLUS and
PRE-SAFE brake
i
Note
All the driving assistance systems are merely aids
for the driver in controlling the vehicle in certain
difficult situations.
They can never replace a properly relaxed and
attentive driver. The driver bears sole responsi-
bility at all times for the safety of his vehicle and
its behavior.
