The 2024 Mercedes-Benz S-Class gains several advancements that enhance safety and take your driving experience to the next level. A significant upgrade is the new artificial intelligence-powered Mercedes-Benz User Experience infotainment system, which features an intuitive interface that allows you to seamlessly interact with your vehicle, optimizing passenger safety

The 2024 S-Class also boasts adaptive cruise control, which automatically adjusts the speed of your vehicle to maintain a safe distance from the car in front of you. Mercedes-Benz includes its innovative PRESAFE® system in this latest model. This feature prepares your S-Class for an impending collision. These are just some of the updates that improve safety and make driving intuitive and enjoyable.

ADAS

The 2024 Mercedes-Benz S-Class has a suite of ADAS to help prevent accidents and boost driver confidence. Key features include the following:

  • Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC: This advanced cruise control system uses sensors and radar-based technology to maintain a safe, pre-set distance from the vehicle ahead of you. It regulates the car’s speed automatically to prevent collisions.
  • Active steering assist: This feature helps you keep your vehicle in the center of its lane by providing steering support. It uses cameras to detect lane markings and applies corrective steering inputs if your S-Class starts to drift.
  • Traffic sign assist: This system detects traffic signs and displays vital information, such as speed limits and no-entry signs.
  • Active lane-keeping assist: Using cameras to detect lane markings, this technology helps to prevent inadvertent lane drift. If your S-Class begins to leave its lane unintentionally, it issues a warning and can apply corrective steering if you fail to act promptly.
  • Active lane changing assist: Changing lanes safely is easier using this feature. It supports you during a lane change by applying steering torque if you operate a turn signal indicator.
  • Active emergency stop assist: This system can bring your vehicle to a stop if it detects a critical situation. It uses sensors, cameras, and radar to spot potential crashes and automatically applies brakes if you don’t act quickly enough.
  • ATTENTION ASSIST®: This feature can detect signs of drowsiness or driver inattention and alert you, prompting you to take a break.
  • Active brake assist with cross-traffic function: Using radars and cameras, this system can detect vehicles approaching from either side of your car and pedestrians in the vehicle’s path and initiate braking to prevent a collision.
  • Active blind-spot assist with vehicle exit warning function: This feature warns you of cars within your blind spot during a lane change and alerts you if it detects an approaching cyclist or vehicle when opening the doors.
  • Evasive steering assist: If you initiate an evasive maneuver to avoid a collision with a pedestrian detected in your path, this system can provide steering support to help you execute the move.

Innovative Safety Technologies

The 2024 S-Class is brimming with innovative safety technologies that set it apart from its competitors. These features provide comprehensive driver and passenger protection.

PRESAFE®

Mercedes-Benz PRESAFE® can detect certain movements that suggest a collision is imminent and take steps to protect vehicle occupants, including automatically tightening seat belts, adjusting front head restraints, and closing the windows and sunroof. It ensures passengers are in the best position to prevent injuries.

AIRMATIC® Suspension

This semi-active suspension system employs electronically controlled air springs that adjust to your driving conditions to ensure a comfortable, balanced ride. It improves responsiveness and stability during sudden maneuvers and at higher speeds, helping to prevent rollovers and other accidents.

Advanced Air Bag System

The S-Class features an advanced system with nine air bags, including dual two-stage front, front and rear side-impact, and side curtain air bags for both rows. These deploy with varying levels of force depending on the collision’s severity, ensuring optimal protection of everyone onboard.

Passenger Protection and Comfort

Mercedes-Benz has designed the S-Class to provide unparalleled passenger protection and comfort. Its aluminum hybrid body shell and ultra-high-strength steel structure help to absorb and dissipate impact energy. Front and rear crumple zones complement the car’s robust construction, enhancing driver and passenger safety in a collision. The ergonomically designed seats feature multiple adjustment options, allowing occupants to find a comfortable and secure seating position. Ambient lighting, climate control, and advanced sound insulation contribute to a serene driving experience, making long journeys more enjoyable and less fatiguing.

Night View Assist® and Innovative Lighting

Mercedes-Benz equips the 2024 S-Class with Night View Assist®, which uses infrared technology to detect pedestrians and animals in low-light conditions. It displays this information on the digital dashboard, giving you extra time to react and avoid potential hazards.

The S-Class has adaptive LED headlights that automatically adjust their intensity and direction based on driving conditions. They enhance visibility without blinding other drivers, providing a safer driving experience at night.
