Active Brake Assist

ATTENTION ASSIST®

An industry first, this attention assistance system monitors up to 70 parameters and notifies you if it detects signs of driver fatigue.

PRESAFE®

This pre-collision system can detect instabilities associated with an accident and will automatically close the windows, tighten the front seatbelts, and adjust the front passenger's seat.

Mercedes-Benz Emergency Call

If an airbag is deployed, your GLE SUV or Coupe will immediately call Mercedes-Benz Emergency Services and transmit your location via GPS.
