Safety Features of the 2024 Mercedes-Benz CLE Coupe

Blind Spot Assist with Exit Warning Assist  

One of the standout features of the 2024 Mercedes-Benz CLE Coupe is its Blind Spot Assist with Exit Warning Assist. Utilizing radar technology, this system helps drivers navigate safely at speeds above 8 mph by detecting vehicles in the blind-spot zone. A visual alert in the side mirror and an audible warning ensure that drivers know any approaching vehicles before making lane changes. After the vehicle is parked, Exit Warning Assist comes into play, warning passengers if cyclists, pedestrians, or vehicles are approaching as they attempt to open the doors. This dual-function system promotes safety during both driving and exiting the vehicle.  

ATTENTION ASSIST®  

Long journeys can sometimes lead to driver fatigue, a dangerous condition impacting safety. The ATTENTION ASSIST® safety feature offers a unique solution.

This system monitors over 70 different driving behaviors to detect signs of drowsiness. If the system senses that the driver is losing focus, it provides both visual and audible warnings, helping prevent accidents. ATTENTION ASSIST® can detect fatigue at the beginning of a trip and display useful journey information on the dashboard, ensuring you stay alert and in control.  

Active Lane Keeping Assist  

The Active Lane Keeping Assist feature ensures that drivers remain on course, even on long or monotonous drives. Using advanced sensors, this system monitors road markings and detects any unintentional lane drifting. Upon detection, it vibrates the steering wheel to alert the driver. Should the drift continue, the system takes corrective action, gently guiding the vehicle back into its lane. Moreover, the coupe’s system is enhanced to detect overtaking vehicles and oncoming traffic in adjacent lanes, ensuring a safer and smoother driving experience on multi-lane highways.  

PRE-SAFE® PLUS  

Mercedes-Benz is a pioneer in vehicle safety, and the PRE-SAFE® PLUS system in the 2024 CLE Coupe is a testament to that legacy. PRE-SAFE® PLUS offers added protection in the event of an impending rear-end collision. The system detects a potential impact and automatically activates seat-belt tensioners to secure front-seat occupants. It also engages the brakes to help reduce the force of the collision and minimize the risk of further impacts. This feature prepares both the vehicle and passengers, ensuring the highest level of protection during accidents.  

DISTRONIC® Adaptive Cruise Control  

Long drives and stop-and-go traffic can be stressful, but the 2024 Mercedes-Benz CLE Coupe’s DISTRONIC® adaptive cruise control helps ease the burden. Using radar-based technology, this innovative system automatically adjusts your set speed to match traffic flow. When traffic slows, DISTRONIC® reduces your speed and can even bring the car to a complete stop if necessary. Once traffic clears, the system can resume driving with a simple tap of the accelerator or cruise control button or automatically resume within three seconds. This feature enhances driver convenience and safety on both highways and city roads.  

GUARD 360° Security System  

The 2024 CLE Coupe offers advanced vehicle security with its GUARD 360°® system. Designed to protect your vehicle even when parked, this system detects impacts or disturbances that could cause damage and sends a notification directly to your phone via the Mercedes me connect app. The available Surround View cameras capture time-stamped images of the car’s surroundings, allowing you to view them on your phone or multimedia display. GUARD 360° offers peace of mind, ensuring your 2024 CLE Coupe is secure, even when you’re not around.
