The ‘integral safety concept’ from Mercedes-Benz is the guiding force behind a series of linked technologies that come into play in the critical moments before, during and after an accident. On the C-Class Sedan, the available Driving Assistance Package provides an even greater pre-empt against danger. Passive Blind Spot Assist provides a visual warning if a vehicle is detected in the driver’s blind spot, via a light-up caution triangle housed in the wing mirror. An audible warning is then provided if the driver tries to change lanes. Passive Lane Keeping Assist identifies when the driver is drifting out of a lane unintentionally. The driver is warned by means of a visual alert and by a vibration in the steering wheel. When reversing with little room to spare, PARKTRONIC with Parking Guidance can assist by providing visual and audible signals to alert the driver when they’re approaching obstacles. In the event of a collision, the Tele Aid[1] emergency calling system automatically engages with the assistance of a live representative who can provide the critical assistance required.
