Join us at Mercedes-Benz of Arrowhead in Peoria, AZ, as we explore the remarkable safety enhancements that make the 2024 Mercedes-Benz GLC SUV a standout in its class. 



Advanced Safety Features of the 2024 Mercedes-Benz GLC SUV 

Intelligent Personalization for Every Driver: The 2024 GLC introduces a personalized driving experience like never before. With the capability to set up hundreds of vehicle preferences via in-car controls or a smartphone, drivers can create up to seven unique user profiles. This system is complemented by an in-dash fingerprint reader, allowing quick and secure access to personalized settings. From seat adjustments to mirror placements, the new GLC tailors itself to fit your driving style and comfort needs, making every journey uniquely yours. 

Transparency in Rugged Terrain: The 2024 GLC SUV offers an innovative “transparent hood” feature for those seeking adventure off the beaten path. By utilizing exterior camera views, this virtual technology projects the terrain beneath the vehicle onto the central display, providing a clear understanding of the path ahead. This advancement ensures that negotiating rugged terrain is smoother and safer, allowing drivers to tackle off-road challenges confidently.

Comprehensive Surround Protection: The 2024 Mercedes-Benz GLC SUV has advanced assistance systems that vigilantly monitor the road and surroundings. Standard Blind Spot Assist monitors traffic, ensuring safer lane changes and exits. The optional GUARD 360°® system also uses surround cameras to keep a virtual watch on the car when parked. In the event of a bump or collision, it can send alerts and images directly to your smartphone, offering peace of mind even when you’re away from your vehicle. 

Illuminating Safety: The available DIGITAL LIGHT headlamps represent a leap forward in driving safety. These adaptive lights can project crucial icons directly onto the pavement, alerting you to pedestrians, lane drifts, or other hazards. Furthermore, they adjust their beams according to the curvature of the road and the presence of other vehicles, ensuring optimal visibility in all driving conditions. 

Pre-Emptive Safety Measures: The brand’s pioneering PRE-SAFE® system boosts proactive safety. This feature can detect vehicle instability that may lead to a collision or rollover, triggering a series of preventive measures. It tightens front seat belts, adjusts the front passenger seat, and closes windows and the sunroof to better protect occupants. The PRE-SAFE® system extends its capabilities with PRE-SAFE Sound, which emits a specific “pink noise” to reduce hearing damage by pre-triggering a natural reflex in the human ear before a collision. 

Vigilant Attention Monitoring: Long journeys can lead to driver fatigue, a significant risk factor for accidents. The 2024 Mercedes-Benz GLC SUV combats this with ATTENTION ASSIST®, a pioneering system that monitors up to 70 parameters of driving behavior. If signs of drowsiness are detected, the system alerts the driver with visual and audible warnings. Enhanced sensitivity allows it to detect drowsiness even at the beginning of a trip, providing timely reminders and information to ensure driver alertness. 

Active Brake Assistance: Active Brake Assist is a radar-based technology that prevents collisions. It alerts the driver if they approach a vehicle or stationary object too quickly. If braking is initiated, the system adjusts the force to avoid or mitigate the impact. In cases where the driver fails to respond, it can automatically apply the brakes. This system is also adept at detecting and reacting to pedestrians, enhancing safety in urban environments.
