The Advanced Safety Technology of the 2017 Mercedes-Benz E-Class

Mercedes-Benz E-ClassDriving the 2017 Mercedes-Benz E-Class around Virginia will put you well on the way to staying safe. In addition to expected safety features, like a rearview camera, airbags, and smart body construction, the E-Class has a range of advanced safety technology, including numerous industry exclusives.

Pink Noise

This is just one of the industry firsts you will find in the Mercedes-Benz E-Class. The PRE-SAFE Sound system can detect if a collision is about to occur. When it does, it will emit what is known as a “pink noise.” This type of noise comes from the audio system and automatically triggers a natural defense mechanism within the ears that will protect them from the loud noises that typically occur during collisions.

E-Class Car-to-X

The Car-to-X technology in the 2017 E-Class is another example of world first technology from Mercedes-Benz. It allows your E-Class vehicle to connect with a central informational resource that lets you know in real-time about various updates concerning things like driving conditions. Use the system to report hazards and let other drivers know what to avoid, as well.

PRE-SAFE

The PRE-SAFE system from Mercedes-Benz has multiple components, including PRE-SAFE Impulse Side. This industry first gets you ready for side impacts to reduce your injuries. To do so, it inflates your front-seat bolster rapidly. This not only reduces the force you feel from the impact but also gets you further away from it.

E-Class DRIVE PILOT

The DRIVE PILOT system is best compared to intelligent cruise control, but it works sideways while traditional cruise control works forward and backward. This system stops or starts based on the cars around you and will ensure you stay in your lane, whether you are on a straight or curved road. Just touch the turn-signal lever to change lanes, making life even easier than before.
