Five features Available on a Mercedes-Benz Van That Make Your Workday Easier

Here at Mercedes-Benz South West Vans, we understand that your vehicle is paramount to the functionality of your business. From the legendary Sprinter, to the more versatile and agile eCitan, Mercedes-Benz offer a range of vans to suit every need. In this blog, we’ve collated five of the most efficient and useful features available on our vans, to make your workday easier.

Anti-Theft Protection Package.

The Anti-Theft Protection Package provides comprehensive protection for your vehicle and your cargo. Not only is this package free-of-charge, but it offers expert-level protection against left and is easy to alarm and trigger, giving you peace-of-mind if you have a van fully stoked with equipment and/or precious cargo.

Pre-Entry Climate Control / Winter Package/ Winter Package Plus

Start your Autumn and Winter mornings right, with the Pre-Entry Climate Control feature, available on the electric model range (eSprinter, eVito and eCitan).

The Winter Package turns on both front heated seats and provides an efficient and warm windscreen wiper system (WET WIPER SYSTEM), where the jets sit on the wipers themselves instead of the screen (a feature you may have seen before on the Mercedes-Benz E-Class). This ensures a reduced amount of washer fluid is used and not wasted and especially in colder temperatures. (additional cost). The ” Plus” option add a delightful, heated steering wheel and additional insulation in the cab wall lining.

With the Pre-Entry Climate Control feature, you can pre-heat your van via the Mercedes-Benz app* before you leave for your morning commute, meaning less time used warming your van – and yourself – and less battery energy consumed to do so (as we recommend completing this whilst your van is charging).

Parking Package with 360 camera

This feature is especially useful if you’re driving a Sprinter, and possibly a Vito (we’re not judging your parking skills). Along with providing you with a full real-time view of your vehicle, this feature provides an all-round overview and obstacle warning with visual and audio warnings, and Drive Away Assist, which will automatically reduce the speed of your van if an obstacle is detected in the direction of travel.

The Mercedes-Benz App with Digital Extras

Activate and access Digital Extras with the Mercedes-Benz app, including Remote Door Lock & Unlock, Locate Van, Up-to-the-minute Van data, all whilst you’re on-the-go. For businesses, you an activate your entire fleet of vehicles to improve your daily business operations and reduce downtime by utilising over-the-air Software Updates. You can also optimise your fleet’s navigation system using the online MBUX functionalities, to source the best routes possible.

The Mercedes-Benz app will also efficiently relay vehicle data to assist with a roadside breakdown, via the Roadside Assistance Centre.

MULTIBEAM LED with Highbeam Assist PLUS

If you’re on the road during those cold and dark winter days, this feature is an absolute must-have to guide you down windy South West country roads or busy motorways, like the M5. Along with the cornering function, which has been feature we’ve seen on vehicles for a few years now,  the MULTIBEAM feature includes individually controlled high-resolution LEDs that can be lit or dimmed to provide optimum visibility, without dazzling other road users or pedestrians. The intelligent system can anticipate when your wide beam may or may not be needed, using information obtained by the MBUX navigation system.

The headlamps can also adjust the overall illumination of the road and the headlight range for various driving situations, such as urban driving, country road driving, in bright conditions or adverse conditions.

With the MULTIBEAM LED headlight feature, every journey will be brighter and safer.
