Vito.Freezing cold temperatures of up to minus 30 degrees during both the day and night, and intensive handling tests on sheet ice, compacted snow and public roads too: these were the conditions faced recently by the prototype of the Mercedes-Benz Vito with battery-electric drive when it successfully undertook and passed a series of the harshest winter tests near the polar circle.All functions tested in extreme cold, snow and iceDespite being limited to a top speed of 80 km/h, the Vito with electric drive must nevertheless also pass all of the tests which a combustion-engined Vito has to endure. Whether tricky handling courses, extreme gradients, cornering circuits under critical conditions or braking measurements – these are just some of the tests which the safety systems, drive, suspension and all of the other components of a Mercedes-Benz van must endure, even in extreme cold, snow and ice, without encountering any problems.Fri, 05 Jun 2009 07:22:15 GMThttps://d4u.com.ua/en/series/Mercedes-Benz-Vito/go/Adaptive-Brake-Light-for-Mercedes-Benz-Vito-and-Viano/news.details.htmlNews. Mercedes-Benz. Vito.Improved warning effect for following trafficAutomatic activationAdditional integration of the hazard warning systemStandard equipment at no extra costImproved warning effect for following trafficDuring heavy braking from a vehicle speed greater than 50 km/h, the Electronic Stability Program ESP activates the new "Adaptive Brake Light" safety function, which makes the brake lights flash at a frequency of 3 Hz instead of just lighting up continuously. Once the danger has passed and the brake pedal is only held or slightly released by the driver, ESP deactivates the "Adaptive Brake Light" and the brake lights light up continuously as usual. These flashing brake lights ensure a higher level of attention on the part of following traffic.
