Boost your energy levels while driving

After a long day in the office, your Mercedes-Benz and the ENERGIZING COMFORT programs can transform your journey home into a unique wellness experience. There are moments during a journey when a revitalising massage or a refreshing break would be simply perfect – here, the ENERGIZING COACH can suggest just what you need. But as well as ensuring that your eyes don't get tired while you're driving, your vehicle can also actively help you relax once you've parked. You can use the multimedia system to find out how to relax your muscles, for example. If you have an electric vehicle or a plug-in hybrid, you can use the recharging breaks to boost your own energy levels by taking a power nap. The "Power Nap" program helps you doze off and then wake up by moving the seat to the correct position and creating an ideal atmosphere with light, sound and fragrancing. Doze off and wake up again with your Mercedes-Benz – at the push of a button.

 

Choose one of the five comfort programs – "Refresh", "Warmth", "Vitality", "Joy" or "Well-being" – and your Mercedes-Benz will create the right set-up to enhance your well-being. To do this, the comfort features in your car, such as ambient lighting, seat massage, air conditioning and many others, are combined to boost your energy levels as you drive and ensure that you reach your destination in a relaxed frame of mind. The ENERGIZING COACH gives you individual program recommendations. To do this, it firstly analyses current trip and vehicle data – such as the traffic situation, weather or trip duration – and secondly it can take account of your current physical and mental state. This is made possible by linking with compatible Garmin® wearables (smartwatches/fitness trackers). Once linked, the ENERGIZING COACH selects suitable fitness or wellness experiences for you, which you can launch directly.

 

Note on use

The program descriptions apply for the driver. Some parts of the programs may differ for the other vehicle occupants. To use the ENERGIZING COACH, your smartphone must be connected with the vehicle as the main phone. Additionally, you must ensure that the compatible Garmin© wearable has been connected to this smartphone via the Garmin Connect© app. As soon as you have consented to the data transfer as part of the on-boarding process within the Mercedes-Benz App or on the Mercedes-Benz profile, your data will be transferred directly from your wearable to the vehicle via Bluetooth. Further information about this can be found in the Owner's Manual for your vehicle.
