What Is Mercedes-Benz ATTENTION ASSIST®?

With ATTENTION ASSIST® from Mercedes-Benz, your vehicle will help to protect you, your passengers, and other vehicles in situations where the risk of a collision is especially high. It’s just one part of the Mercedes-Benz safety suite, which also includes features such as PRESAFE®.Distracted or tired driving greatly increases the likelihood of dangerous crashes. When ATTENTION ASSIST® says “take a break,” Mercedes-Benz drivers will know that it’s time to slow down, grab a cup of coffee, or make time to rest their eyes.

How Does Mercedes-Benz ATTENTION ASSIST® Work?

How does Mercedes-Benz ATTENTION ASSIST® know when you need to take a moment to collect yourself? The system works by plugging the findings of numerous sensors into an algorithm, determining your normal driving style and identifying deviations from the norm. Here’s a closer look:

1. The system immediately assesses more than 70 parameters when you head out on the roads of Phoenix or Gilbert.
2. Specific steering corrections and other signs of fatigue indicate to the system that it’s time for you to find a rest stop.
3. In order to ensure accuracy, ATTENTION ASSIST® also accounts for crosswinds and road conditions. It also checks to see how you’re interacting with the other features and controls in your cabin.
4. If and when ATTENTION ASSIST® tells you to “take a break,” your Mercedes-Benz will sound an auditory alert and display a coffee cup icon on your dashboard.
