Mercedes-Benz has set itself a goal of reinventing the motor car, and we Australians are reaping the rewards of their commitment to this goal. Each year we see innovative technologies and new design features in Mercedes luxury vehicles – ones that drivers and critics are quick to embrace. Mercedes-Benz Sydney drivers have demonstrated that they are early adopters of these new technologies.
Setting The Standard in Safety
It’s widely known that Mercedes-Benz invented both the crumble zone and the airbag.These put Mercedes well and truly and the forefront of safety standard development. But as well, Mercedes invented BAS, ABS and ESP® as well, and it continues its safety development tradition today.
Night View
At night, its often only at the last minute that obstacles are seen on unlit roads, and Australian wildlife can be a real hazard. Night View Assist, developed by Mercedes Benz, is an infrared camera that displays a clear image of the road ahead on the instrument cluster.
It is well positioned in the driver’s optimum field of vision (where the speedometer is when Night View Assist is not operating) , and when activated the driver can see the road ahead just like having high-beam on, but without dazzling oncoming drivers.
The black and white image shows both “warm” objects such as people and animals, and “cold” obstructions like debris, giving you time to react accordingly. A great safety advantage when driving at night!
Comfort Is A Priority
Mercedes-Benz Hornsby drivers love their comfortable ride and they accept nothing less from Mercedes.They understand that Mercedes-Benz is a world leader in the development of comfort technology.
Linguatronic
There is no doubt that speech recognition is the way of the future – and Mercedes’ Linguatronic System has everything tuned in to one command: the driver’s. While the system caters to the owners’ comfort, being able to keep your hands on the wheel while making adjustments, is yet another safety feature.
The latest Linguatronic generation has expanded features, e.g. your phone contacts are identified; the operation of tha radio and navigation system are simpler. The navigation system has been optimised to the extent that now place and street names are activated using whole-word recognition.
Mercedes-Benz comfort and safety advancements keep it top of mind when people decide to purchase a Mercedes luxury vehicle. The astute Mercedes Benz Hornsby buyers are no exception.
