Unveiling the new features
Navigation redefining driving Convenience
The navigation system, adapted to meet customer needs, introduces a customizable route feature allowing multiple stops while adapting dynamically to real-time traffic and preferences. It seamlessly selects nearby petrol stations for convenience when fuel levels are low. Its intuitive, swift voice or gesture control prioritizes driver ease for a seamless experience.
Connectivity for effortless interaction
To foster a more inclusive consumer journey, the vehicle’s connectivity system has been seamlessly integrated for effortless access. Utilizing Bluetooth, the system automatically syncs all mobile phone data – call logs, contacts, and messages – ensuring continuous updates while on the move. Through the Mercedes app, users can effortlessly monitor the car’s position and status, and conveniently share a virtual key with selected contacts for remote car access, eliminating the need for a physical key.
Prioritizing safe system for driving
To address the prevalence of driving calls, our primary focus centered on crafting efficient and user-friendly call systems. Our innovative swipe-up call system enables swift contact calls through a simple gesture, taking less than 0.2 seconds, markedly minimizing driving distractions and potential hazards. Furthermore, our adaptable voice command system, proficient in identifying the driver’s voice, enables hands-free operation, augmenting safety during travel.
