Brake Assist and Electronic Stability Control make emergency maneuvers manageable, while the TeleAid communications system dispatches help if the airbags activate or if an occupant touches the SOS button on the control panel. The standard navigation system can be operated with voice commands, while fiber optics handle navigation and audio system inputs. An electronic air suspension with adaptive damping filters rotten pavement from tender backsides. Designed to reduce driving stress as much as possible, the interior features real wood trim on both models and Nappa leather upholstery on the S500. Also available only on the S500 is a Climate Comfort seat, which circulates air through the seat cushion to draw perspiration from occupants on warm days.
Hydraulic assists secure doors and the trunk lid.
On paper, the new S-Class sounds like the most luxurious and advanced sedan on the market today.
