Our aim is to make sure that you arrive at your destination safe and sound. This is why our engineers work tirelessly to make the A-Class even safer than it already is. Despite its compact exterior dimensions, it is packed with the latest safety technology from Mercedes-Benz.

Numerous active safety systems – for example, the Electronic Stability Program ESP and acceleration skid control ASR – help you to remain in better control right from the start in dangerous driving situations. If you brake quickly but not heavily enough in an emergency, Brake Assist (BAS)helps to build up the maximum braking pressure. Yet even when the full braking power is applied, the wheels do not lock up, since the familiar anti-lock braking system(ABS) meters the braking power precisely, meaning that the car remains steerable. If the A-Class is braked to a halt from a speed of 70 km / h or more, the hazard warning lights are switched on automatically, giving you an extra level of protection.
