ATTENTION ASSIST® Mercedes-Benz Technology

2019 mercedes-benz a-class red



You’ve heard of systems like Heads-Up Display and mbrace®, but how does ATTENTION ASSIST® Mercedes-Benz technology create a better experience for Mclean and Great Falls drivers? This state-of-the-art system helps to prevent drowsy driving by monitoring your performance at all times with specialized sensors. Not only does this keep you and your passengers safer on the road, but it can provide a safer experience for other motorists as well. Let’s take a closer look at Mercedes-Benz ATTENTION ASSIST® technology:

How Does Mercedes-Benz ATTENTION ASSIST® Work?

Mercedes-Benz ATTENTION ASSIST® technology is an industry first, paving the way for a safer driving experience.

  • The system utilizes 70 different parameters to take note of your individual driving style.
  • If your steering patterns begin to shift, ATTENTION ASSIST® kicks into gear while considering external factors like unusual road conditions and weather.
  • When the system concludes that you’re experiencing driver fatigue, an alert will sound and ATTENTION ASSIST® “Take a Break” Mercedes-Benz technology will encourage you to rest.

The ATTENTION ASSIST® warning light is a small coffee cup, complete with a little rising steam. If this symbol appears, you’ll want to pull over into a rest area as soon as you’re able to do so.

How to Use Mercedes-Benz ATTENTION ASSIST®

Even where smart, next-generation features like Mercedes-Benz ATTENTION ASSIST® are concerned, it’s important to note that responsibility for safe driving remains with the driver. Here, we’ve highlighted a few things you’ll need to keep in mind in order to maximize this feature’s utility:

  • ATTENTION ASSIST® only becomes active at or above speeds of 60 mph. This is where distracted driving becomes most dangerous.
  • While the feature is active, the time since your last break will be displayed near your gauges. This makes it especially useful on road trips with more than one driver!
  • Mercedes-Benz ATTENTION ASSIST® technology can only tell you when you’re getting tired or distracted; it’s up to you to take the necessary steps.

Don’t forget that coffee isn’t always a solution for distracted or tired driving, and that response times tend to worsen with a lack of sleep.

How Can I Get ATTENTION ASSIST®?

Whether you’re interested in a brand-new SUV or a roadster, you’ll find plenty of new vehicle options with Mercedes-Benz ATTENTION ASSIST® technology:

  • Cars: A-Class, C-Class, E-Class, S-Class, CLA, and CLS
  • SUVs: GLA, GLC, GLE, GLS, and G-Class
  • Roadsters: SLC, SL, and Mercedes-AMG® GT
  • Commercial: All Metris and Sprinter models
