Safety.

Sideguard Assist 2

Sideguard Assist 2 is a safety assistance system that supports the driver in critical situations when turning right or turning left when visibility is possibly restricted. The system is designed to help detect moving obstacles within the system limits, and warns the driver so as to avoid critical situations or reduce the consequences of accidents when turning off or changing lanes.

Electronic Stability Program (ESP®)

The Electronic Stability Program significantly reduces the risk of skidding by selectively braking individual wheels, thus preventing loss of control of the vehicle in curves and emergency steering maneuvres.

LED headlights for low beam and high beam

The vehicle is optionally equipped with long-life LED headlights. The light beam can be defined very accurately. The colour of the light is approximately the same as daylight, therefore the driver's eyes tire less quickly. More brightness and longer range provide additional safety.

Rain-light sensor

The rain sensor and automatic driving light are assist systems that activate automated functions by means of a sensor system and relieve the driver of routine tasks.

Electronic Braking Assist (BAS)

By constantly comparing the data, the electronic braking assist system immediately detects if the speed at which the brake pedal is pressed suddenly exceeds the usual level, and in such situations automatically boosts the maximum braking power to within fractions of a second. This significantly shortens the stopping distance of the vehicle.

AquaBlade® windscreen wipers

The AquaBlade® windscreen wipers ensure optimum visibility at all times and, thanks to their ergonomic design, minimise both driving noise and fuel consumption.

Acceleration Skid Control (ASR)

ASR prevents the drive wheels from spinning in two ways. On the one hand, ASR minimises wheel spinning through a measured braking intervention. On the other hand, the torque of the engine is regulated via the "electronic accelerator pedal".

Anti-lock Braking System (ABS)

The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) supports driving stability during critical braking operations and ensures that the vehicle remains steerable. The braking forces acting on the individual wheels are distributed by the ABS so that even in an emergency braking situation no wheel is blocked for any length of time, and the steerability of the bus is largely maintained.

Preventive Brake Assist 2

With Preventive Brake Assist 2, Daimler Buses offers the second generation of Active Brake Assist. The system warns of collisions with moving pedestrians and cyclists as well as stationary and moving objects. In the event of a serious risk of collision, the driver is alerted by a visual and acoustic warning and partial braking is initiated automatically.

Articulation Turntable Controller (ATC)

Both agile and robust. The Articulation Turntable Controller (ATC) developed by Mercedes-Benz is a sophisticated anti-jackknife system for articulated buses. This swivel joint and its control system form one of the core components of the vehicle.

MirrorCam

The modern MirrorCam system provides a clear and full view of the road traffic. Equipped with high-resolution cameras, the driving safety is improved and the risk of accidents is minimised. The extended field of vision enables the driver to see pedestrians, cyclists and other road users in the surrounding area. This eliminates the blind spot when turning right.

Traffic Sign Assist (TSA)

The innovative Traffic Sign Assist offers maximum safety and comfort on the road. Thanks to GPS and camera support, the vehicle speed is constantly compared with the current traffic regulations.

Frontguard Assist

Frontguard Assist is an advanced system that was specially developed to warn drivers of pedestrians located immediately in front of the vehicle and also to warn them of an impending accident. Whether you are pulling away or driving slowly (up to 15 km/h), the intelligent assistance system can detect potential collisions with unprotected road users.

Attention Assist (AtAs)

Attention Assist (AtAs) is a safety assistance system that can help prevent microsleep. It thus contributes to improved driving safety, especially on long journeys and when driving at night. The system warns the driver visually and acoustically when it detects typical signs of overtiredness or inattention and prompts him/her to take a break. The warning is independent of the electronic logging device (ELD).
