For safe driving, the Mercedes-Benz safety concept supports you using many different measures: the control and display system, for example, helps reduce distractions. Then there are systems which are designed to alert and assist the driver in critical situations.
The optional Intelligent Light System (ILS) with LED daytime driving lights provides better extended vision and helps to detect hazards in good time.
The ADAPTIVE BRAKE braking system is controlled electronically and allows for supporting functions which improve safety and comfort. When it recognises emergency stops it increases the pressure in the brake lines so that full braking power is available immediately. With the ABS antilock braking system the vehicle remains more easily steerable even during full brake application and the ASR acceleration skid control system prevents individual wheels from spinning. The dry braking function uses automatic short brake pulses so that the brakes can function as efficiently as possible even when they are wet. And the hill-start assist prevents the vehicle from accidentally rolling backwards when it is starting off on gradients.
