 | | | Safety isn't just about creating safer cars |
| It’s also about creating safer drivers. |
Since inventing the car, Mercedes-Benz has pioneered numerous innovations that have had a profound impact on reducing accidents. Many of these innovations have benefited not only our automobiles but the entire car industry as well.
Our cars were the first to feature the safety passenger shell, crumple zones, airbags, seatbelt tensioners, ABS, Brake Assist, Night View Assist and the Intelligent Light System, to name just a few.
Making cars safer is only one aspect of our vision for accident-free driving.
At Mercedes-Benz, we believe that all drivers should be equipped with the principles of safe driving to handle difficult situations they encounter on the road.
So our cars offer a host of measures that improve the driver’s concentration. The integrated control and display system puts everything within easy reach. While other elements including the multifunction steering wheel and the ergonomically designed interior are designed to reduce distractions, allowing the driver to focus clearly on the road.
The fact that driver vigilance plays an active part in enhancing safety continues to inspire us. We've even developed intelligent systems that alert the driver to dangerous situations and help to bring them under control. The Electronic Stability Program ESP and Distronic Plus are two such examples that contribute to safer driving. |
