What is Mercedes-Benz ATTENTION ASSIST®?

Whether commuting late after work in New Haven or taking a long road trip from Cheshire, driver fatigue can happen to anyone. Luckily, Mercedes-Benz ATTENTION ASSIST® is included with many vehicles in our new inventory to help combat the effects of drowsy driving. What does this technology do? Let’s dive deeper into this smart feature.

Drowsy Driving vs. ATTENTION ASSIST® 

Drowsy driving is a serious problem that can cause major damage on the Branford roads, but just what it is? When a driver is fatigued, they begin to make careless mistakes. Typically, they will remain inattentive for a period of time before rapidly overcorrecting steering. This pattern became the blueprint of the ATTENTION ASSIST® design.

ATTENTION ASSIST®: Mercedes-Benz Features

ATTENTION ASSIST® breaks new ground in safety technology, monitoring your driving habits and reacting immediately when danger is sensed. Just how does it work?

1. ATTENTION ASSIST® keeps track of your typical driving habits by tracking 70 different parameters.
2. The system looks for steering overcorrections, while also monitoring road conditions and crosswind to ensure that your driving adjustments aren’t caused by external factors.
3. Once the system analyzes your results, it kicks into gear. If ATTENTION ASSIST® detects driver fatigue, you will see and hear an ATTENTION ASSIST® “Take a break” Mercedes-Benz warning.
4. If you ignore the alert and continue to drive inattentively, the ATTENTION ASSIST® “Take a break” Mercedes-Benz warning will sound again after 15 minutes and so forth until you take action – so get to the nearest coffee shop quickly!
