April is Distracted Driving Awareness Month! While this is one of the leading causes of accidents on the road, it’s completely preventable. Mercedes-Benz of Asheville shares some of the top Mercedes-Benz safety features that fight against distracted driving.
ATTENTION ASSIST®
ATTENTION ASSIST® is a leading feature in new Mercedes-Benz models for combating distracted driving. The system is continuously monitoring your driving habits and can monitor up to 70 different parameters. If it detects drowsiness or distracted driving, it will give you visual and audible warnings.
Active Steering Assist
There are also features available in Mercedes-Benz models to keep you safely centered in your lane. If you become distracted and start to veer from your lane, Active Steering Assist can gently correct you. The optional Active Lane Keeping Assist can also detect unintentional drifting and alert you with steering wheel vibrations. It can even brake specific wheels to guide you back into your lane.
Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC®
People are so unpredictable on the road, which is why distracted driving is so dangerous. Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC® can keep you at your preferred distance from other vehicles. If you get too close, it will slow or stop your vehicle accordingly.
Active Brake Assist
Active Brake Assist is a radar-based technology that also warns you if you’re approaching other vehicles. If it detects that a collision is imminent, it will warn you. It can also initiate your braking automatically or even adjust your braking level to help you avoid an accident.
