How Does Mercedes-Benz ATTENTION ASSIST® Work?

An industry first, Mercedes-Benz ATTENTION ASSIST® uses a system of sensors and custom algorithm to detect the initial signs of driver fatigue. This helps to proactively stop dangerous conditions, so you can pull over and rest as needed. How does ATTENTION ASSIST® protect you?

1. ATTENTION ASSIST® uses Mercedes inventory of over 70 different parameters to immediately assess your driving habits.
2. If you begin to show common signs of driver fatigue, like steering wheel drift or slow reactions, ATTENTION ASSIST® will immediately take note.
3. ATTENTION ASSIST® will then consider external factors like road conditions and crosswinds, while factoring in how well you are interacting with controls.
4. After a thorough but nearly instantaneous review, ATTENTION ASSIST® will determine whether or not you are too fatigued to drive.
5. In case of drowsy driving, ATTENTION ASSIST® will sound an alert and warn you to stop for a break.
