What Is Mercedes-Benz ATTENTION ASSIST®?

With ATTENTION ASSIST®, Mercedes-Benz has given drivers an easy way to avoid one of the most dangerous driving habits: going too long without a break! This advanced system learns your normal behaviors, and by identifying small changes, it will tell you when it’s time to pull over for a rest or a cup of coffee.

How Does Mercedes-Benz ATTENTION ASSIST® Work?

When ATTENTION ASSIST® says “take a break,” your Mercedes-Benz is trying to tell you that you’re putting yourself and other drivers at risk! But how exactly does Mercedes-Benz ATTENTION ASSIST® work? Let’s take a closer look at the underlying algorithm:

1. The second you start your vehicle, ATTENTION ASSIST® assesses more than 70 parameters and determines a baseline.
2. As you drive, ATTENTION ASSIST® identifies specific steering corrections and other signs of driver fatigue. Road conditions, strong crosswinds, and your interactions with other features are also identified and accounted for.
3. If the system determines that you’re starting to get tired or distracted, you’ll hear an auditory alert. A coffee cup icon will appear on your dash until you take steps to respond.

Whether traveling far from Mayfield or driving with friends through Cleveland, ATTENTION ASSIST® significantly reduces the impact of some of the most important causes of collisions.
