Pressure Monitoring System will let you know if a tyre is starting to deflate so that you can take appropriate action. A stalk on the steering column is used to activate cruise control, which includes a speed-limiter. Traction control is fitted, and can be switched off. Security measures include tow-away protection, which can of course be deactivated. In a sensible initiative, Vito comes with Mercedes me which allows you to monitor your vehicle remotely using your smartphone, tablet or laptop. Free for the first three years, it, among other things, allows you to locate it and lock and unlock the doors even though you are not in the vehicle’s vicinity.
