Is composed
We cannot try one on the road without going so emergency avoidance, checked the first two on the highway. When a vehicle approaches from behind the right lane, but soon disappear from the door mirror shape, the red indicator lights on the lower right triangle mirror, tells us closer.
But that light, it was modest compared with other similar systems. Mercedes-Benz Japan and ask the staff, safety radar package is intended to reduce the load and driving accidents, because it assumes only the driver’s safe driving, the information that was conservative.
In this situation, and use a turn signal, an alarm sounds begin with start to blink red triangle. If you try to change lane even, but that’s me and automatic brake intervention to correct the course, because of the high risk, “Active Lane Keeping Assist,” move to verify.
If you attempt to change lanes to go through the turn, tells us that the vibration is conveyed across the lane to the steering wheel slightly. Gradually draw closer to the shoulder and the left lane continues, this time after a slight vibration to the steering, along with the feeling that the course is returned Gugutsu. Here is a clear functional effect is felt.
Nick Phillips Wholesale try to return to the road continues. Looking set to 50km / h speed limit and adjust smoothly to fit the front wheel speed while maintaining a certain vehicle, to stop us going. However, although the curve is also not lose sight of the former to accelerate and decelerate by a roadside convenience store along the road and get into the former system is canceled, there was also no deceleration.
In Japan, the story of Mercedes-Benz, plus Nick and Wholesale other similar systems with emphasis on medium speed range is different, is designed to deliver maximum effect freeway in a straight line or loose corners if that. This concept Marerashii autobahn country, or how the Japanese are evaluated for 100km / h speed limit, but just to worry about.
This package is the S-Class “E350/E500 Blue EFFICIENCY” sedan and station wagon “in standard equipment, the E-Class sedan / station wagon with the other markets, including the E300, is available as an option for file. But about twice the other similar systems, it is still available at half the regular price.
