Mercedes-Benz of Elmbrook Sprinter Safety
The Mercedes-Benz Sprinter has become a huge hit in the United States and Canada. These commercial style vans are extremely popular in the work industry for onloading and offloading products, but Sprinters have also found a home in the RV business and are also used by families for recreational purposes. Safety in any vehicle is extremely important, and the Sprinter is no exception here. Drivers will find numerous innovative safety features that have been put in place to protect them and their passengers.
Sprinter safety starts with the optional PARKTRONIC system. This unique feature assists the driver, when he or she is wanting to park. The system is activated at speeds of 18mph or less. A scanning system is in place that checks areas in front and behind the vehicle. When the Sprinter approaches an obstacle, an audible alert will notify the driver of the vehicle of the oncoming object. This double warning display area is located in the front center cockpit area of the vehicle. There are also two additional warning displays for spaces behind the vehicle, and these are located in the outside mirrors. Customers wanting to purchase a Sprinter can also decide if he or she wants the optional reversing camera equipped with a monitor. This camera allows drivers to put the vehicle into reverse in a safe manner and also permits them to see tight spaces for parking purposes.
Novel Sprinter models come equipped with ADAPTIVE ESP, a cool electronic stability program that is equipped with full anti-locking brakes, electronic brake force distribution, hydraulic brake assist, and acceleration skid control features. The ADAPTIVE ESP system also has the capability to calculate the mass of the vehicle and the center of gravity. This gives drivers the advantage of being able to control their braking and acceleration more effectively. There is also a Start-off Assist system, which will not allow the vehicle to roll downhill in situations where the driver has to take his or her foot off the brake pedal and move it over to the acceleration pedal when trying to get moving on a hill surface. Other unique Sprinter safety features include Roll Over Mitigation or ROM and Understeering Control (also known as USC). Sprinter vehicles also have a passenger safety cell, and are designed with a rigid body structure so a passenger's survival space is preserved in case of a crash. There are also three-point seat belts, adjustable head restraints, and advanced airbag features. In addition, the Sprinter models has halogen headlamps that have the ability to distribute ample lighting while driving during the evening hours.
