ATTENTION ASSIST [Not available for S 400 HYBRID]
Especially on long journeys and when driving at night, this system can help prevent accidents by warning the driver if it detects signs of weariness and failing concentration. The system does this by monitoring and analysing the driver’s behaviour at road speeds between 80 and 180 km/h. If the driver’s steering pattern deviates from a previously determined profile, visual and audible warnings are emitted.

ADAPTIVE BRAKE system with HOLD function and hill start assist
The integrated ADAPTIVE BRAKE system improves ride comfort and safety on the one hand using the basic function of the anti-lock braking system (ABS) to assist in critical braking manoeuvres, and on the other hand helping the driver in demanding driving situations by means of convenience functions.
These include the HOLD function which acts like a parking brake and can be activated by briefly depressing the brake pedal. The HOLD function then keeps the vehicle from rolling unintentionally when stopped at a light or in stop-and-go traffic. The hill-start assist prevents the vehicle from rolling back unexpectedly on inclines when changing from the brake to the gas pedal. The brake drying function ensures that full braking power is available even under wet conditions. And with the priming programme the system reduces the response time of the brakes.

PRE-SAFE® occupant protection system
PRE-SAFE® can recognise the risk of an accident early on and activate safety systems which can reduce the change of injury for vehicle occupants. To accomplish this PRE-SAFE® continually monitors the sensor data from the systems such as ESP® and BAS and identifies events such as noticeable understeering or oversteering and emergency stops.
If a critical driving situation should occur, the systems can respond within fractions of a second. The belt tensioners are activated, the electrically adjustable seats are moved to a favourable position in the event of a collision and the side windows and the sliding/tilting sunroof are automatically closed.
