Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB) functions use lasers, radar and / or cameras to detect the imminent collision, perform
an effective emergency stop or reduce the impact speed significantly.
Like many modern Mercedes passenger cars, the new E-Class is fitted with adaptive brake lights, which flash four times as fast as the hazard warning lights during an
emergency stop and, therefore, provide an extremely
effective warning for drivers behind if a head - to - tail collision is imminent.
