Comfort and variability take centre stage in the E-Class Estate. Assistance systems provide key support, enabling you to stay relaxed, even on long journeys or during challenging driving manoeuvres. You will find information on further assistance systems in the Safety section.
Speed Limit Assist improves ride comfort by reducing the driver’s workload. Using an integrated camera, the system can identify the speed limits on road signs and show the permitted maximum speed on the central display. The system also aligns the displayed speed limits with the data stored in the navigation system. This reduces the danger of overlooking a speed limit, particularly on stretches of road with frequently changing traffic signs or along routes with road works.

The electronic parking aid PARKTRONIC monitors the front and rear of the vehicle when manoeuvring with the help of ten sensors and warns the driver if it detects a risk of collision. If the system identifies an obstruction, it emits a visual signal. As soon as the distance is less than approx. 35 cm, a short warning sound is emitted. If the vehicle gets even closer (less than approx. 25 cm away) a continuous signal is heard. PARKTRONIC uses this procedure to make parking easier, even with limited space available. Parking Guidance helps the driver, not only when parking, but also when looking for a parking space. Because the ultrasonic sensors measure the length of parking spaces parallel to the car automatically at vehicle speeds of 30 km/h or less. If a suitable space is found, Parking Guidance then provides precise directions regarding the correct steering angle as well as the turn-in and turn-back points.

The camera integrated in the tailgate transmits an image of the area behind the vehicle to the COMAND central display. The rear-view camera not only makes parking easier but also enhances safety when reversing and manoeuvring on difficult terrain.
