MirrorCam

In place of the conventional rear-view mirrors, the Actros is fitted with the innovative, aerodynamically refined MirrorCam*. This saves fuel and offers improved visibility to the rear and in the area of the A-pillar.

MirrorCam* also provides for added safety during manoeuvring, turning off and changing lanes, for example by panning** the camera image in accordance with the vehicle’s movements. As an alternative to the MirrorCam2,6,10, a classic mirror system is also available.

*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.

**Only with CAN-equipped trailers.

Active Brake Assist 5

Our trucks put safety first. That’s why Active Brake Assist 5* comes as part of the standard equipment. It assists drivers* in certain situations by initiating a full application of the brakes if stationary and moving objects are detected. It can also initiate a partial or full application of the brakes in response to moving pedestrians being detected – thus reducing the consequences of an accident or completely preventing one from happening in the first place.

*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.

Active Sideguard Assist

The Active Sideguard Assist* can assist the driver when turning or changing lanes by detecting moving and stationary objects in the warning zone on the right or in the tracking pattern in certain situations** and providing visual and audible warnings for the driver.

The system can also contribute to a reduction in the severity of accidents within the system limits by means of automated braking to standstill. In ideal situations, it can even prevent accidents altogether.

 

*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. In conjunction with three-part wing.

**Within the system’s limits. Under optimal conditions.

Active Drive Assist 2

Active Drive Assist 2* is available for certain Actros models and assists the driver not only in maintaining as safe a distance as possible to the vehicle travelling in front, but also in staying in the middle of the lane. Particularly on long, monotonous stretches of road, it therefore offers greater safety as well as stress-relieving comfort and can better driver-fitness safety.

The new features of Active Drive Assist 2* make a major contribution to road safety. If the driver does not hold the steering wheel for a prolonged period of time, either by choosing to ignore legislation or as a result of becoming unwell, a warning cascade starts and within the system’s limits, it can even decelerate the vehicle staying within its current lane down to a standstill if the driver fails to react.

Active Drive Assist 2* extends the functionality of Proximity Control Assist**. In addition to automatic distance control with stop-and-go function, it can also actively help the driver to stay in lane. To do this, it combines the enhanced radar and camera technologies of Active Brake Assist 5* with the electrically assisted steering and Lane Keeping Assist***.

 

*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. Special equipment, only for certain vehicle configurations. Special equipment, only in conjunction with Servotwin steering, Proximity Control Assist, Active Brake Assist 5, Stability Control Assist and Multimedia Cockpit/Multimedia Cockpit, interactive.

**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 extra, only in conjunction with Active Brake Assist 5.
