In Orlando, Mercedes-Benz drivers are fortunate to have an abundance of sunny days and rarely, if ever, have to deal with snow. So you may think this means that you don't need 4MATIC all-wheel drive, right? Wrong.

In and around Orlando, Mercedes dealer fans should embrace 4MATIC all-wheel drive since it is an essential safety feature in all terrain providing you with safe and precise driving whether you are in an icy snow storm or a dry road.

Below are the 4 basics of Mercedes-Benz 4MATIC all-wheel drive to see what it is all about:

Four Points of Contact

4MATIC all-wheel drive helps to balance your vehicle's braking, steering, and accelerating across the four tires which not only improves grip on the road, but also makes your ride more balanced and precise, no matter what terrain you are driving through.

Wheel Speeds

Unbeknownst to most drivers, wheel speed tends to vary when driving in a straight line versus rounding a corner, meaning that left and right wheels need to rotate at different speeds.

In Orlando, Mercedes-Benz drivers can drive with peace of mind since the 4MATIC all-wheel drive feature continuously monitors the speed of every wheel to ensure that each is turning at the proper speed given the conditions.
 

Weight Distribution

When your vehicle brakes, all of its weight is shifted to the front wheels, in turn making them work harder than the rear wheels. When this occurs, wheel grip can be compromised and leave your vehicle off balance. In Orlando, Mercedes dealer fans can count on 4MATIC all-wheel drive to help optimize torque when braking, helping to keep you balanced on the road.

Mixed-friction Surfaces

From dry roads, to slick icy roads in can drive safely on the road with 4MATIC since it uses a combination of individual brakes as well as reduction of engine output to put the right balance on each wheel to have an optimal and equal amount of torque on a variety of driving surfaces.

We wish you happiness, health, and safe driving on the road in 2012!
