Glimpse into Safety Highlights

Jaws dropping. Pulses racing. And adrenaline surging. This best describes what the participants can expect at the Mercedes-Benz StarDrive Experience.

A first of its kind event, specially conceptualized by Mercedes-Benz, the StarDrive Experience gives a hands on feel for the unique features of a Mercedes-Benz.

Witness path breaking innovations like PRE-SAFE, Traction Control and ESP, Off-Road Pro Engineering and 4ETS live in action.

The off-roading Demo showcases the terrain crushing abilities of the GL-Class and M-Class. These behemoths make light work of 40 degree slopes with the help of the PRO-ENGINEERING Package and other revolutionary features. On the difficult terrain, the differential lock system comes into play, transferring the weight from the unused wheels to the ones touching the ground, thus maintaining traction. The SUVs also adjust their suspension seamlessly in order to accommodate the rapidly changing terrain, thanks to the 4-MATIC and AIRMATIC suspension.

Climbing up and down the slope is a cake walk for these engineering marvels. When going uphill, participants can experience the incredible control of the Hill Hold Assist that helps the car to remain steady for 2.5seconds before rolling back, giving the driver enough time to prepare for the climb.

Likewise, when driving down the slope, the Downhill Speed Regulation allows the driver to set a speed between 4 to 18 kmph depending on the terrain, after which it takes complete charge. The driver has to just maneuver the car, while the function takes care of the rest. The participants can rest assured that with the M-Class and GL-Class no terrain can be unconquerable.
