The first interaction in the interior between man and vehicle happens intuitively via the control unit by placing a hand on the center console. The interior then comes to life as the vehicle can then sense the driver by their breathing. Lifting the boundary between vehicles and living things, Mercedes-Benz  combines luxury and sustainability while working to create resource-saving vehicles. With the Vision AVTR, Mercedes is introducing the concept of a vehicle blending harmoniously into its environment and communicating with it. As soon as you enter the vehicle, the car becomes an extension of your own body and a tool to discover the environment.

As many Long Islanders take to the roads for road trips, and vacations, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is reminding everybody during National Tire Safety Month to check their tires to make sure they’re ready to roll. Properly checking and inflating your tires is an important step to help make your tires last longer, save you money and protect you and your family on the road. During The month Of June "Tire Safety Month"  NHTSA is sharing these tips for consumers: Conduct monthly maintenance inspections on your Mercedes-Benz, focusing on proper tire inflation pressure, treadwear and tire damage, in addition to recurring tire rotation and balancing, and alignment services. Proper tire pressure is the most important part of maintaining your tires. It affects safety, tire durability, and your fuel consumption. Check the pressure of all tires, including your spare, at least once a month when the tires are "cold," meaning that the car hasn't been driven for at least three hours. Check your tires' tread at least once a month when you're checking their pressure. Tires have built-in "treadwear indicators," which are raised sections that run in between the tire's tread. When the tread is worn down so that it's level with the tread indicator, it's time to replace your tires. Tire balancing ensures your wheels rotate properly and keeps the vehicle from shaking or vibrating. Always have new tires balanced at installation. Rotating your tires can help reduce irregular wear, which will help your tires last longer and maintain fuel efficiency. To maintain tire safety, purchase replacement tires that are the same size as the vehicle's original tires or another size recommended by one of our factory trained Parts Advisors. You can check for tire recalls and file a tire safety complaint if you think there may be a problem with your tires at NHTSA.gov.

https://www.autoblog.com/2020/09/02/2021-mercedes-benz-s-class-revealed/#slide-2260798 The 2021 S-Class has been teased to us for months now but the time has now finally come for the big reveal. Yesterday morning, Daimler showcased the luxury sedan’s new features that will set the precedent for newer cars to come and will be the flagship face of Mercedes-Benz and their newest innovations. What’s Under the Hood? Two different engine versions will be available for shoppers in the Smithtown area depending on what they are looking for. A powerful 3.0L turbocharged inline engine which will make up to 429 horsepower, and 384 pound ft of torque with the EQ Boost will be included in the S 500 4MATIC. A Muscular 4.0L turbocharged inline twin-turbo V8 engine will be included in the S 580 4MATIC, creating 496 horsepower, and 516 pound feet to help you zoom through any road while in Kings Park. Although the engines will be modified, consumers can expect to have the impressive standard air suspension. Both cars will also have All-Wheel-Drive, 48V electrical architecture, and a 9 Speed Auto Transmission, giving the 2021 more power than anything that's come before it . What else is new you might ask? E-Active Body Control suspension previously seen in the GLE and GLS is now featured in the new S-Class. This will regulate damping and spring force at each wheel. The car will also now include a Four-Wheel Steering System that will cut down on the vehicle’s turn radius to make the new flagship car more agile on curvy and winding roads, such as the ones you may have driven on in Farmingville. https://www.autoblog.com/2020/09/02/2021-mercedes-benz-s-class-revealed/#slide-2260813 Exterior Now, looking upon the new S-Class, the first thing you’ll lay eyes upon, is the beautiful and invigorating newly-designed exterior. Key features of the outside of the new vehicle include: A familiar large traditional sedan body New grille shape for balance New Headlights with a three-dot LED running light program Tail Lamps have now been switched from vertical to horizontal in a new subtle triangle shape with new LEDs that bleed around the edge of the rear bumper to accentuate style Lowered Rear marker lights to help show off subtly wider exhaust tips Other than these key features, the classy car is now slightly larger with the following measurements: 208.2 inches long 76.9 inches wide 59.2 inches tall Wheelbase: 2.0inches longer, meaning aesthetically pleasing shorter overhangs. This makes the car larger by 1.3, 2.1, and 0.4 inches interestingly. Wheels will also be available in sizes ranging from 19”-21” with the AMG Package. https://www.autoblog.com/2020/09/02/2021-mercedes-benz-s-class-revealed/#slide-2260813 Interior When we think about an S-Class we all think about the lounge-like signature high-end interior, and the millions of additional luxuries that they include. The 2021 S-Class will not disappoint for those who love living grand and lavish. The interior includes many features such as: Less physical buttons due to the giant 12.8 inch touchscreen HVAC buttons now are on the included screen Space behind the massive touchscreen to store your phone, and plenty of space in the Center Console to stow away bigger items Stunning but subtle horizontal and vertical vents for air flow Faster warm-up time due to a booster heater powered by the 48V system for those cold Lake Grove nights Heated and Ventilated Seats, plus a Heated Steering Wheel, and armrests to keep you cozy on your commute to Ronkonkoma A new fragrance system, featuring scents such as “Bamboo Mood” & “Cotton Mood” to help relax and calm you, or also for when you might smell the fish while passing by Port Jefferson Harbor A Digital Instrument Cluster with a revolutionary 3D Effect that comes with the 3D Technology Package. Heads-Up Display now projects Augmented Reality onto the road in front of you, making Mercedes-Benz Navigation even more convenient The Panorama Sunroof now can be magically opened/closed with just a wave of your hand https://www.autoblog.com/2020/09/02/2021-mercedes-benz-s-class-revealed/#slide-2261151 Although all these features are great, we all know that the back seat of an S-Class is also one of the best places to be. The backseat now has more legroom and slightly more recline, making this the most comfortable S-Class to date. With classy touches such as the Open-Pore Wood, Brushed Metals, Pinstripe Designs, Piano Black Trim, or even the Illuminated Seatbelt Buckles, you just can’t go wrong. Safety is still a priority to Mercedes-Benz with their fitting reputation. The 2021 model will include a new Rear Seat Frontal Airbag to make you feel even more at ease than you already will with the Energizing Seat Kinetics, and Heated Headrest Cushions that will be available too. If you thought all that was amazing, wait until you hear about the revolutionary optional Burmester 4D Surround Sound System. This newcomer will feature 30 speakers that will be metal and backlit onto the doors and pillars. Along with the numerous speakers, it will also include 8 resonators. What makes this system so revolutionary though is the “4D” aspect of it. The vehicle teamed up with the Burmester Sound System will allow you to feel the music coming from your seats. You will be fully immersed and isolated if you were not already by sitting in the S-Class. Ofcourse, this feature could be turned off and the setting could be saved by using the sound profiles feature that will allow users to utilize their different preferences when it comes to the music settings in the car. This makes the S-Class so incredibly versatile and personalized. Back seat riders can also have up to three screens, one on the back of each front headrest, and one Android software tablet, all equipped with the new and improved MBUX Infotainment System that we will delve into in a moment. Not only will they have the infotainment system at their fingertips, but those in the backseat have just as much power as those sitting in the front due to the new capability for them to use “Hey Mercedes” now too! https://www.autoblog.com/2020/09/02/2021-mercedes-benz-s-class-revealed/#slide-2260804 MBUX Upgrade Innovation and technology have taken several leaps forward hand-in-hand, due to Mercedes-Benz. As we had mentioned before, the MBUX system is all brand new, and is chock-full of never before seen features. The following has been seen to be included: MBUX Profiles: Users can create up to 7 profiles on the system for preferences and data such as settings, addresses, seat configuration, presets, and etc. These profiles are accessible via voice authentication, facial recognition, fingerprint, or even just a PIN. More commands: MBUX will recognize more phrases, without having to say “Hey Mercedes,_____” prior. EX: “Decline call.” Chit Chat feature: Users will be able to talk to the Hey Mercedes feature in a fashion akin to Siri featured in Apple products. Toll Transponder Integration: makes going through tolls easier: MBUX stores information and relays it to the sensors. 50% faster processing ! The MBUX system is faster than ever. Convenience The MBUX system sure does make life easier, but the S-Class is all about surpassing expectations. The S-Class also features a wide range of programs that assist the driver such as : Improved Lane Centering Active Steering Assist up to 130MPH Adaptive Cruise Control - now has an improved stop maneuver from speeds up to 80mph, previously 35mph. Predictive Speed Regulation 64-Color Ambient Lighting: now uses warning colors to help inform you of when you may be too close to an oncoming vehicle Driver Facing Camera for intuition and assistance Active Parking Assist: Includes a 360-degree camera and also automatic perpendicular and parallel parking The S-Class finds any way to try and make life a breeze for whoever is driving or even riding in it.
