As April is Distracted Driving Awareness Month, there’s an extra emphasis on safe driving. Staying safe is easy with the many intuitive Mercedes-Benz safety features. Mercedes-Benz of Lynnwood details the features that can limit distracted driving accidents.

ATTENTION ASSIST®

There are few safety features available that limit distracted driving like ATTENTION ASSIST®. It's designed to continuously monitor up to 70 different driving parameters, so it can quickly detect unusual patterns that indicate a drowsy or distracted driver. It will alert you when it’s time to take a break.

Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC®

Whether you’re texting or talking, it’s tough to keep an eye on other drivers when you’re distracted. Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC® keeps you at your preferred set of car lengths from other vehicles. The radar-based cruise control can adapt your speed to the flow of traffic or even bring it to a halt.

Active Steering Assist

When you’re using DISTRONIC® adaptive cruise control, you’ll also benefit from Active Steering Assist. It uses cameras and sensors to detect your surrounding lane markings or guardrails. It will keep you safely centered in your lane or aligned with the vehicle ahead of you, if there aren’t clear markings.

Active Lane Keeping Assist

As an added precaution, many Mercedes-Benz models are also equipped with Active Lane Keeping Assist. It monitors the road markings once you get above a certain driving speed. If it detects that you’re drifting unintentionally, it will alert you by vibrating the steering wheel. If you don’t respond accordingly, it can even brake individual wheels to guide you back into your lane.
