Digital Extras: Safety and GUARD 360°

Safety and GUARD 360° features help your future Mercedes-Benz look after what matters most – offering enhanced protection on the road and added peace of mind when you’re away from the vehicle.

Light doesn't just illuminate the road ahead – it can provide you with information, warnings or guidance. The pioneering functions of DIGITAL LIGHT literally show you the way: guide lines, symbols and animations appear as lights on the road, directly ahead of you. In roadworks with narrow lanes for example, orientation is much easier thanks to intelligent markings that represent the approximate width of the vehicle. Use the Spotlight function to keep an eye on pedestrians in the danger zone and to recognise in which direction they are moving – without them being dazzled. A corresponding symbol also warns you prior to driving through a red light or past stop signs as well as driving in the opposite direction to the permissible direction of travel.

Digital Extras for safety provide timely alerts and clear information about any incidents. Whether monitoring for theft, detecting parking damage, or checking the interior remotely, you stay informed and can take the appropriate steps immediately.

Although you cannot keep an eye on your Mercedes around the clock yourself, you can at least rest assured that the necessary steps will be taken as soon as possible in the event of theft. In that case, one thing matters above all: not losing any time and finding out where your Mercedes is as quickly as possible. Our authorised service partner can provide the crucial edge in terms of time. The service partner releases the position data of your vehicle directly to police. As a result, the investigations start immediately even without a court order. And you increase the chances that your Mercedes quickly returns to where it belongs.

You are on holiday and want to make sure that everything is in order in your Mercedes-Benz. Just have a look for yourself: using the camera integrated in your vehicle, you can take two snapshots of the interior per hour and then call them up via the Mercedes-Benz App.

You have finally finished the weekly grocery shop, and as usual there's lots going on – when loading up your groceries you notice there's a dent in the bumper of your car. If the culprit didn't leave their address behind, you are now faced with the hassle of organising and paying for the repair yourself. With Theft notification and parking damage detection you will be quicker: A smartphone notification informs you in real time should your vehicle be moved or disturbed. In addition, the Mercedes-Benz App shows the cause of the alarm as well as the level, place and time of the damage. When parking damage is detected, you will also see this information on the media display when you enter the car and you can transmit this to your Mercedes-Benz Partner if you wish.
