Thanks to the direct response of the newly developed steering, the test subjects responded more confidently and competently to
sudden evasive action at 60 km / h than with conventional systems.
As a result, the direct - steer system also improves handling safety in critical situations - for instance when taking
sudden evasive action - as the field tests conducted by the Mercedes engineers demonstrate.
Other driver assistance systems include active lane - keeping (the 5 Series will steer itself with only a touch of your finger on the wheel to confirm that you're paying at least some attention), an evasion aid that improves steering response and chassis stability in the event of
sudden evasive action, and a surround - view parking display that can also deliver a Remote 3D «bird's - eye» snapshot of your car straight to your smartphone.
