Driver Assistance Systems Suite
The 2025 Sprinter offers a comprehensive suite of driver assistance systems, working in concert to enhance safety and reduce driver workload:
Blind Spot Assist including Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Exit Warning
- Blind Spot Assist: Utilizes radar sensors to monitor blind spot areas and alert drivers to vehicles or objects.
- Rear Cross Traffic Alert: Provides automatic braking to prevent collisions when reversing, particularly useful in parking lots or areas with obscured visibility. It detects crossing traffic (vehicles, pedestrians) and warns the driver while also applying brakes if necessary.
- Exit Warning: Alerts passengers when exiting the vehicle if approaching traffic is detected, preventing door-opening collisions with cyclists or vehicles.
Sideguard Assist (in combination with Blind Spot Assist)
As mentioned earlier, Sideguard Assist focuses specifically on the passenger side blind spot, warning the driver if cyclists or pedestrians are detected in this critical zone.
Digital Inside Rear View Mirror
For Sprinter configurations where rear visibility is limited or non-existent (cargo vans, cab chassis with upfits), the optional digital inside rear view mirror provides a clear and unobstructed rear view. A camera mounted at the rear of the vehicle transmits a live video feed to the interior mirror screen, significantly improving rearward vision. For Cab Chassis models, a pre-installation option is available, allowing upfitters to complete the installation.
Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC®
This adaptive cruise control system automatically maintains a pre-selected distance from the vehicle ahead. It operates across a wide speed range, automatically adjusting speed to maintain a safe following distance, reducing driver fatigue, especially on long journeys and in highway traffic.
Active Lane Keeping Assist
Active Lane Keeping Assist detects unintentional lane departures and warns the driver. If no corrective action is taken, the system can gently guide the vehicle back into its lane by applying braking force to one side of the vehicle.
Park Assist
Park Assist utilizes twelve radar sensors to assist with parking maneuvers. When reversing, it displays a 360° top-view pictogram of the vehicle and surrounding parking space, providing steering guidance to simplify parking in tight spots.
Traffic Sign Assist
Traffic Sign Assist helps drivers stay aware of speed limits and traffic regulations. If cruise control is active, and the system detects a speed limit sign, it can automatically adjust the vehicle’s speed to comply with the detected limit.
Crosswind Assist
Crosswind Assist enhances stability in strong crosswinds. At speeds above 50 mph, it detects strong gusts of wind and helps the driver maintain course by automatically applying braking to wheels on the windward side of the vehicle.
Attention Assist
Attention Assist monitors driver behavior and detects signs of drowsiness or inattention. If detected, it provides visual and acoustic warnings, urging the driver to take a break, enhancing safety on long drives by mitigating fatigue-related accidents.
Active Brake Assist with Cross-Traffic Function
Building upon the standard Active Brake Assist, this enhanced system also incorporates a cross-traffic function. It continuously monitors the distance to vehicles ahead and also scans for cross-traffic at intersections. It provides warnings of potential collisions and can autonomously apply full emergency braking if necessary to prevent or mitigate accidents.
Touch Control Buttons
The Sprinter features touch-sensitive Touch Control Buttons on the steering wheel, allowing for intuitive control of the instrument cluster and infotainment system. These buttons respond to swiping and pressing motions, similar to a smartphone interface, providing a modern and ergonomic control interface.
