What Is Mercedes-Benz Car-to-X Communication and How Does It Improve Safety?

Key Benefits of ATTENTION ASSIST®

Helps Prevent Drowsy Driving Incidents

We’ve all heard about the dangers of driving while sleepy. A study by the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety says 41% of drivers admit they’ve dozed off at the wheel at least once. ATTENTION ASSIST® helps combat that scary stat. The system watches for those tiny signs of drowsiness and gives you a friendly nudge before things get dangerous.

Encourages Healthier Driving Habits

You may think you can power through that long desert highway drive with a playlist and snacks, but your car might say otherwise. With a “ATTENTION ASSIST®: Take a Break! and coffee cup” alert, ATTENTION ASSIST® encourages you to take short breaks and stay sharp behind the wheel.

Works Hand-in-Hand with Other Mercedes-Benz Safety Features

driving in Arizona can mean long, straight highways, high temperatures, and sometimes hours of uninterrupted road. ATTENTION ASSIST® gives drivers that extra edge when staying focused on the road matters most. It works alongside Active Lane Keeping Assist, Blind Spot Assist, and Brake Assist to create a complete safety experience. That means more confidence for you and peace of mind for your passengers.

How ATTENTION ASSIST® Works?

ATTENTION ASSIST® kicks in during the first 20 minutes of your drive. It analyzes your driving style using a steering sensor and up to 70 data points during this time. It builds a driver profile, and once you cruise between 50 and 112 mph, the system keeps an eye out for changes. If you start making tiny, erratic steering corrections, that’s a red flag. At that point, you’ll hear a warning chime, an “ATTENTION ASSIST®: Take a Break!” message, and a “coffee cup” will pop up on your dash.
