Car-to-X Communication
Car-to-X Communication allows your S-Class to connect with other vehicles equipped with Car-to-X through the Mercedes me connect app on your smartphone. This system shares and receives real-time data about potential hazards, such as traffic accidents, road conditions, or sudden weather changes. It provides advanced warnings to help you anticipate and avoid potential risks.
Mercedes-Benz Emergency Call
Mercedes-Benz Emergency Call automatically connects you with emergency services in the event of an accident. If the airbags deploy or a collision is detected, the system transmits your vehicle's location and critical information to first responders, ensuring prompt assistance. The SOS button can also be pressed anytime you need emergency assistance, or see someone else who does.
Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC®
Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC® is an adaptive cruise control system that automatically maintains a safe distance from the vehicle ahead. It adjusts your speed to match traffic conditions and can bring your S-Class to a complete stop when needed. If the vehicle ahead slows to a stop, it can brake to a full halt. When traffic moves, you can resume with just a tap of the accelerator or resume button, or it can proceed automatically if the stop is under 60 seconds.
PRE-SAFE®
A proactive safety feature that detects potential collisions and prepares the vehicle to mitigate impact. It can tighten seat belts, adjust headrests, and even close windows or the sunroof to optimize passenger protection. The PRE-SAFE® system also includes PRE-SAFE® Sound which emits a "pink noise" tone thorough the S-Class's audio system moments before the PRE-SAFE® detects an impending impact. The tone is designed to be at a frequency that triggers a natural reflex within the human ear.
