At its core lies the vision of accident - free driving :numerous measures support the driver in critical situations and can help to prevent an accident.ATTENTION ASSIST ( standard ). This new drowsinessdetection system is especially useful on longtrips. At speeds of between 80 and 180 km / h,ATTENTION ASSIST warns the driver as soon asit detects signs of drowsiness or inattention. Allthanks to sensors that analyse driving behaviourand detect any changes compared with the driverprofile individually determined previously.Intelligent Light System ( optional ). With its fourautomatic settings this system ensures the bestpossible visibility in every driving situation.In the rural - road mode the edge of the road isilluminated much better than is the case withconventional headlamps. The motorway modeprovides the same degree of illumination forthe entire width of the carriageway. With theextended fog lamp function the left - hand bi -xenon headlamp swings outwards and improvesvisibility. The active cornering light functionfollows the driver’s steering angle. And in additionto all this Highbeam Assist gives the driveran even better overview : the vehicle’s own lightis only dimmed to such an extent that drivers ofoncoming vehicles or of vehicles in front are notdazzled.DISTRONIC PLUS ( optional ).
