Greater safety.
Our trucks prioritise safety. Protecting drivers, vehicles and other road users – the Actros comes with a wide range of safety components as standard equipment. Digital assistants don't relieve the driver of responsibility, but can effectively support him/her in critical situations. Example Active Brake Assist 5*^: The vehicle can fully apply the brakes in response to stationary and moving objects in certain situations. It also comes with Lane Keep Assist^, Stability Control Assist^, Attention Assist^ and other digital assists such as MirrorCam†‡^.
A particularly dangerous situation is turning left in an urban location: here, within the system limits, the optional Active Sideguard Assist^†** can warn the driver in certain situations and even trigger automatic braking.
*Standard for vehicles where an advanced emergency braking system is a legal requirement.
^Within system limits and in certain situations, assistance systems can assist the driver in the driving task. However, the responsibility for driving the vehicle safely remains entirely with the driver.
†Optional equipment.
‡Not for vehicles with the ADR categories EX111, FL.
