Mercedes-Benz Features to Keep You Safe
Night driving in the winter can be a frightening ordeal, but Mercedes-Benz vehicles come equipped with features to help you drive in Colorado snow. Night View Assist Plus, installed in most newer models, will help detect obstacles and rough patches of road.
Additionally, a chime reminds drivers to turn on their headlights, especially when it’s snowing Many new vehicles come equipped with daytime running lights (DRL). While they’re great for daytime driving, they’re fairly dim and don’t illuminate the road in front of your vehicle. Remembering to switch on your headlights and taillights will increase your visibility and make it easier for other drivers to see your vehicle.
Get Regular Maintenance before you Drive in Colorado Snow
Besides getting your vehicle up-to-date with regular service and maintenance – including *oil and filter changes, battery testing and brake inspections – you should also check that your wiper blades are in proper working order. If in need of replacement, consider rubber-clad blades designed for winter driving. They can help prevent ice buildup. The acclaimed “beam” style wiper blades used on Mercedes-Benz vehicles also perform very well for a drive in Colorado snow. In addition to installing new blades, make sure to fill your washer fluid to keep your windshield free of ice and road salt.
To install these special winter features, visit our service department at any time.

Winter doesn’t have to be all doom and gloom. Although snow can be dangerous for drivers, it also means winter recreation is here. Ski mountains are opening across Colorado this month, and what better time to outfit your Mercedes-Benz with a ski or snowboard rack? Adding comfort to functionality, pick up some all-weather floor mats to protect your vehicle’s shiny interior.
