Active Brake Assist

Active Brake Assist monitors the traffic ahead and helps prevent or mitigate collisions. Using radar and camera sensors, the system detects potential obstacles, including vehicles and pedestrians. If it senses an imminent collision, it alerts the driver and provides additional braking force when needed. If the driver does not respond in time, the system can autonomously apply the brakes to reduce the impact or avoid the accident entirely.

Crosswind Assist

Crosswind Assist helps stabilize the GLE SUV during strong crosswinds. By using sensors to detect sudden lateral gusts of wind or even a passing truck, the system automatically adjusts the braking force on individual wheels to counteract the effect of the wind. This feature provides greater control and reduces driver stress, especially when traveling at highway speeds or across exposed bridges.

ATTENTION ASSIST®

ATTENTION ASSIST® enhances safety by monitoring driver behavior for signs of fatigue or distraction. Using over 70 parameters, such as steering inputs and driving patterns, it can detect when a driver might be losing focus. If the system senses drowsiness, it provides an audible and visual alert to prompt the driver to take a break, helping to prevent accidents caused by fatigue.
