For details like this. the W140 is often known as the last Mercedes to be "overengineered. a Mercedes trait that was costing the company in product delays and overbudgeting. The vehicle is believed to have cost Mercedes-Benz over $1 billion to develop. The W140 S-Class introduced several safety innovations which have since become commonplace among many vehicles. Braking system. The V8 and V12 W140 models distributed more braking power to the rear wheels. increasing stopping effectiveness. In 1996. the W140 received Brake Assist System BAS. which engaged during emergency maneuvers to boost braking power to maximum. Electronic Stability Program (ESP) was introduced in 1995 on the Mercedes-Benz S 600 Coupé. ESP used on-board computers to improve vehicle handling response during difficult driving conditions. This was a Mercedes developed system. which has since been licensed to other manufacturers. Xenon High-intensity discharge headlights (low beam only) were introduced in 1995. Side airbags (pioneered by Volvo in 1994) and seat occupancy sensors were introduced in 1996. Automatic windscreen wipers with rain sensors were introduced in 1996. Comfort and convenience: Double-paned soundproofed glass was a new S-Class innovation first fitted on the W140. This form of window glazing allowed for improved soundproofing. reduced condensation. and other insulation benefits. Electrically-operated exterior mirrors could be folded at the flick of a switch to ease driving in narrow spaces. 'Parameter steering' was a system which made low-speed driving easier by reducing the effort required to maneuver in speed-sensitive situations such as parking. Rear-parking markers. or guide rods. These rods extended from the rear corners of the trunk lid when in reverse. providing the driver with a guideline for rear maneuvers. In 1995. this system was replaced by the sonar-based Parktronic system which measured the distance of the bumpers to nearby obstacles. 12-way powered. heated front seats. with 3 setting memory functions and lumbar support. Windshield wipers w/heated washer system. Later models also included Rain-sensing windshield wipers. Electrically-operated automatic-dimming inside rear-view mirror that tied into the seat and steering wheel memory. Heated exterior mirrors. Later models also included auto-dimming driver's side mirror. Orthopedic seats were an expensive option from the factory but consisted of several different air cushions in the seat that the user can inflate and deflate to find the perfect driving position. Dual-zone climate control. Four-zone climate control on LWB models. Reclining and heated rear seats on LWB models. V12 models also have the four-place seating option. which allows fully adjustable rear seats. lumbar support and rear sunshade control. The center seat has been replaced by a burlwood center console. allowing a 2 + 2 seating format. The climate control system could be set to operate for 20 minutes after the engine had been turned off. Electric Rear Sunshade. Rear passenger illuminated vanity mirrors. Soft-Closing Doors and Trunk. Leather interior and burl inserts. In 1995 the S600 Coupe became the first Mercedes car with GPS navigation system. designated Auto Pilot System APS. It featured CD-ROM maps and full color navigation display in the center dashboard.
