Towing Technologies in the 2024 Mercedes-Benz SUV Lineup


Mercedes-Benz integrates a host of advanced technologies to make towing easier and safer. One of the standout features is the Trailer Manoeuvring Assist, available through the Mercedes me connect Canada store. This system is designed to assist drivers when reversing with a trailer, using camera-based assistance to provide a clear view and precise control.

Trailer Manoeuvring Assist

Trailer Manoeuvring Assist allows drivers to reverse confidently with a trailer, even if they are not experienced with towing. By using the MBUX touchscreen, drivers can set the desired articulation angle and switch between several camera angles to keep an eye on everything. Whether maneuvering around a corner or straightening up, this system ensures the trailer is positioned exactly where it needs to be.

To activate Trailer Manoeuvring Assist, the vehicle must be stationary with reverse gear engaged. By pressing the Parking button, drivers can then select the desired maneuver on the MBUX touchscreen, such as setting the articulation angle, choosing the "Straighten up" function, or executing a 90° maneuver. This system automatically controls the articulation angle during assisted reversing, simplifying the process and enhancing safety.

Other Notable Technologies

  • Active Parking Assist: Helps drivers find and navigate parking spaces, making it easier to park with a trailer attached.
  • Trailer Stability Assist: Maintains stability by applying brakes to individual wheels if trailer sway is detected, ensuring safe towing at higher speeds.
  • Advanced Tire Pressure Monitoring System: Monitors tire pressure in real-time, helping to prevent potential issues during towing.
  • 360 Camera: Provides a comprehensive view around the vehicle, aiding in maneuvering and hitching trailers.

Conclusion


The 2024 Mercedes-Benz SUV lineup offers a diverse range of models with impressive towing capacities, advanced performance, and cutting-edge technologies designed to enhance the towing experience. Whether you choose a regular model, an AMG performance variant, a luxurious Maybach, or an efficient electric vehicle, Mercedes-Benz ensures that you can tow with confidence, safety, and style.
