conducted by the Centers

• No. of people killed in crashes
involving a distracted driver
was- 3,100 (in 2019).

4. The data only reflects

5. The number is

8. Active Brake Assist
can slow down your
vehicle if it detects an
obstacle in front of
your car.

9. But, first, it will alert
you about the obstacle
with the help of audio-
visual warnings.

the warning, it will
prompt the braking
system to slow down
your car.

system

raining outside.

16. Anything that affects
visibility will render
your Active Brake
Assist useless.

18. If the radar sensors
and camera goes bad,
Active Brake Assist
will not function.

19. Also, if there is
something wrong with
the braking system,
then the ABA will
malfunction.

21. Active Brake Assist
requires electricity to

vehicle in case of an
emergency.

braking system
malfunctions, ABA will
not function normally.

take your Mercedes to a
