There are numerous assistance systems to promote relaxed motoring. They can support and sensitize the driver both when driving on the open road and when performing complex driving manoeuvres.
The ATTENTION ASSIST function is particularly helpful on long journeys and when driving at night; the system warns the driver if it detects signs of failing attention and increasing weariness. | |
The PARKTRONIC parking aid including Parking guidance assists the driver when looking for a parking place and makes it easier to park by giving concrete steering instructions. Ultrasonic sensors in the side front bumper measure the length of parking spaces parallel to the car automatically if the car drives past at a speed of 35 km/h or less. Parking Guidance starts once a suitable space has been found and reverse gear has been engaged. | |
The Speed Limit Assist system (a component of the optional COMAND Online) can detect and read speed limits, and shows the symbol in the COMAND online display. This reduces the risk of exceeding the speed limit. To this end, a windscreen-mounted camera constantly monitors the area in front of the car, its image-processing system filters out the round traffic signs indicating the speed limit. It makes no difference whether the speed-limit sign is at the side of the road or on a gantry above the road. | |
The Intelligent Light System ensures the best possible visibility in all weather conditions and the most diverse traffic situations. When encountering oncoming traffic, in curves, fog or on free stretches of road the system adjusts to the situation adapting the characteristics of the light individually. |
