More New Safety Systems
Among the many standard safety features on the E-Class is the innovative "Attention Assist" system that can alert the driver to the first signs of drowsiness, a factor that causes more than 100,000 accidents a year in the U.S. A steering sensor is coupled to smart software that uses 70 parameters to establish a unique driver profile during the first 20 minutes of driving. Between 50 and 112 mph, the system identifies the erratic steering corrections drivers make as they begin to get drowsy and triggers an audible warning, and a "Time for a Rest?" message with a coffee cup icon in the instrument cluster.

Other examples of trailblazing innovations include: Lane Keeping Assist, Adaptive Highbeam Assist, Night View Assist, the optional Distronic Plus system and up to 11 air bags for front and side protection.
