Equipment packages - Choice. Possibilities.
Satisfying exacting standards is a given; surpassing them is the challenge we rise to. We offer you carefully assembled equipment packages. For every taste. For every situation. So that every trip in a Mercedes-Benz becomes even more pleasant and even more attractive.
The Anti-Theft Protection package comprises different systems and equipment which help to protect the vehicle from break-in, theft and being towed away. It includes the anti-theft alarm system (ATA) with tow-away protection and interior monitoring. Once activated by locking the vehicle with the remote key, the system issues a warning signal if it detects an attempted break-in and theft.
Authorisation required: The system triggers an alarm if an unauthorised person opens one of the vehicle doors, tailgate or bonnet. The alarm also sounds if the ignition lock is shorted/removed or the foot brake applied.
Movement sensor: The tow-away protection function responds to a change in the position of the vehicle and can be deactivated – for example, if the car is being towed or loaded onto another vehicle.
The Driving Assistance Package Plus makes an active contribution to safety in everyday driving situations. The proximity control, lane-change control and blind spot warning functions together with the brake system optimisation all contribute decisively to safe travel and a safe arrival.
Keep your distance: DISTRONIC PLUS proximity control helps the driver to maintain a specified (timed) gap from the vehicle in front when travelling at speeds of up to 200 km/h.
Extended field of vision: The Active Blind Spot Assist deploys a radar system to monitor the area behind the vehicle and the blind spots on the left and right. If a vehicle is detected in the monitored area, a warning signal appears in the relevant exterior mirror. If the driver fails to notice the warning and starts to change lane, the system can intervene using ESP®.
Crossing the line: Active Lane Keeping Assist registers lane markings on a continuous basis. If the system detects that the road markings are being crossed in an uncontrolled manner, the system can reduce the danger by applying the brakes automatically.
If required: In an emergency braking situation the BAS PLUS Brake Assist system can shorten stopping distances by providing the brake pressure necessary to deal with the danger that has been detected.
In critical situations: The PRE-SAFE® brake can help to prevent collisions. The system issues three warning tones to alert the driver if it detects the immediate risk of a rear-end collision. If the driver does not respond, the system initiates autonomous partial braking 1.6 seconds before the calculated collision, decelerating the vehicle at around 40% of maximum braking force (4 m/s2). This also acts as a further warning to the driver to take immediate action. Should the driver still fail to react, the PRE-SAFE® brake will trigger an autonomous full brake application if required.
The Rear Seat Safety package provides additional safety for the rear compartment passengers. In the event of a collision, adaptive belt force limiters and sidebags for the outer seats in the rear can reduce the risk of injury to the occupants by providing optimum support according to the type of impact.
The automatic dimming function for the exterior mirrors on the driver's side helps to enhance safety and comfort.
Both exterior mirrors can also be completely folded in electrically and returned to their original position. Whether you're negotiating narrow entries and exits, parking the car or passing through automatic car washes, this preventive protection of the mirror casing helps you to minimise repair costs.
The Exterior Sports package provides a suspension with a sporty tuning, light-alloy wheels in silver or anthracite (optional) and a twin-pipe exhaust system with visible rectangular tailpipes integrated in the rear bumper. The rear bumper with black trim rounds off the sporty exterior.
The tactile warning provided in the event of unintentional lane departure and the visual and acoustic warning of the presence of a vehicle in the blind spot contribute to reduce driver stress, in particular on long journeys: the innovative Lane Tracking package consists of the Lane Keeping assist and the Blind Spot assist functions, and provides a significant road safety enhancement.
Lane Keeping Assist can detect a traffic lane based on the road markings and, if the car is about to leave its lane unintentionally, warn the driver by making the steering wheel vibrate gently. If the indicator is operated beforehand or the steering wheel is consciously turned, the system assumes that the lane change is intentional and does not issue a warning.
Blind Spot Assist, meanwhile, uses two radar sensors in the rear bumper to monitor the blind spot at speeds above 30 km/h and can warn the driver against dangerous lane changes if another road user is present in the critical area to the right or left of the vehicle.
