The technical highlights of the new Mercedes B-Class: Radar-based collision warning system - A new milestone in safety technology

Detailed analysis by Mercedes-Benz's in-house accident research department indicates that almost half of all rear-end collisions could be avoided or the severity of such accidents reduced with the aid of radar-based safety systems such as COLLISION PREVENTION ASSIST and adaptive Brake Assist. This analysis drew on the experience acquired with the Mercedes innovations DISTRONIC PLUS and BAS PLUS.
