Safety

Driving Assistance package Plus
The optionally available Driving Assistance package Plus tangibly reduces the strain on the driver, particularly on long trips but also in confusing urban traffic. The new GLE has the latest generation of this package available to provide assistance in even more driving situations, e.g. in traffic jams and when approaching bends, roundabouts and junctions. The new GLE can follow the vehicle in front even in stop-and-go traffic. This also relieves the driver of the bothersome task of restarting after each stop.
Parking package with 360° camera.
With this option, a total of four cameras - one in the radiator grille, one at the rear, and one in each exterior mirror - can be networked to show a virtual bird's-eye view of the vehicle. An enhanced side view is also possible, making it easier to see kerbs in particular. The 360° camera image is shown on the media display together with dynamic guide lines. This all-round view makes it much easier to manoeuvre in and out of parking spaces. Furthermore, special perspectives and a zoom mode make it easier to hitch up and manoeuvre a trailer.
MULTIBEAM LED headlamps.
Experience a totally new dimension in intelligent light distribution. 84 individually controllable LEDs per headlamp allow the headlamps to adapt to the current driving situation precisely and quickly. When turning, cornering or driving on the motorway, for example. The integral LED technology also allows an all-new, mesmerising light design. This means the headlamps can be made to look like true works of art. During the day or at night.
Trailer Manoeuvring Assist
With the optionally available Trailer Manoeuvring Assist, you can complete reversing manoeuvres more calmly and confidently – even in difficult situations. For inexperienced drivers of car/trailer combinations in particular, the assisted steering is a genuine help. Trailer Manoeuvring Assist controls the steering angle of the towing vehicle automatically at a speed of up to 5 km/h.
Reversing camera
The reversing camera offers you a better general view and comfort when manoeuvring. This can be very worthwhile, as you may avoid damage. The media display shows a live picture of what the camera detects. When reversing, the system assists you by overlaying dynamic guide lines which display the path of the vehicle based on the steering angle.
