Driver assistance and app

Active Parking Assist with a 360 degree camera is listed as standard, alongside PRE-SAFE. The page notes that some systems are optional. The Mercedes-Benz app works with iPhone (iPhone 11 or newer on iOS 16.4 or later), Apple Watch (Series 6 or newer) and Android phones, and can serve as a digital key. The site also mentions Digital Extras for future downloads, but it does not describe over-the-air updates in detail, and many features require a Mercedes me ID and may need a paid renewal after the initial term.
