Benefits of Mercedes-Benz Attention Assist Feature

Here in the Northern Ohio area, there are quite a few commuters, and if you are among the group of Ohio residents that travels long distances to get to and from work, you likely know just how exhausting it can be to make the trip on a daily basis. Especially after those long days at the office, when the sun goes down, it can be difficult to stay alert. Thankfully, Mercedes-Benz has created a solution to this dangerous problem.

There are quite a few benefits of Mercedes-Benz Attention Assist, including the ability to keep you safe even when you become drowsy and your attention to the road begins to drift. Your safety is, of course, the biggest advantage of the system, but to understand exactly how it is able to benefit you, you first have to understand exactly how the Mercedes-Benz Attention Assist feature works. Let’s take a closer look at it.

How Mercedes-Benz Attention Assist Works

When you first start the vehicle, Attention Assist immediately turns on and begins to examine your driving habits. Your attention to the road is at its peak in the first few minutes, so the system monitors as many as 70 parameters to understand your personal driving habits. It then saves those measurements for the future.

Later in your journey, if you begin to sway from the driving habits recorded by the vehicle, it takes notice and does its best to keep you safe. If you begin to drift in and out of the lane, it makes the corrections to your steering automatically, helping to keep you in the lines. It also takes wind and road smoothness into account, but if the system it realizes that driver fatigue is the only factor related to the changing habits, it sounds out an audible alert that encourages you to pull over and stop for a rest to regain your composure.

As the feature is so important, and because all commuters have different vehicle preferences, it comes as no surprise that Attention Assist is available in a wide variety of Mercedes-Benz models. You can get it in the CLA, C, E, S, SLK, CLS, GLK, M, GL, GLA and B-Class models, which pretty much covers it all.
