Actros L sets new standards in technology and safety

This new system, called "Active Sideguard Assist", no longer only warns the driver of active pedestrians or cyclists on the front passenger side. The system is also capable of initiating automatic braking at turning speeds of up to 20 km/h in order to stop the vehicle if the driver does not respond to the warnings in a timely manner. Active Sideguard Assist is able to recognize the need for such a braking maneuver and, in an ideal scenario, avoid a possible collision.
Active Driving Assistant supports drivers with its second generation

In addition, the ADA 2 is equipped with the Emergency Stop Assist function, which can apply the emergency brake when the driver does not control the steering wheel despite visual and audible warnings. The system, which can automatically activate the new electronic parking brake if the truck comes to a stop, can also unlock doors to help paramedics and other first responders reach directly to the driver in an emergency.

System; It helps to prevent accidents such as there is a risk of frontal collision with a pedestrian, the driver is distracted, the following distance between vehicles is too short, the truck collides with a moving or stationary vehicle in front of it due to an unsuitable speed. ABA 5 operating using a combined radar and camera system; If it detects the risk of an accident with a vehicle in motion, a stationary obstacle or a person (passing in front of the vehicle, coming towards the vehicle, walking in the same lane with the vehicle or stopping suddenly in fear), it first warns the driver visually and audibly. The system can initiate partial braking in the second stage if the driver does not respond appropriately. Responding to the person on the move, in case the danger of collision persists, ABA 5 can perform automatic full stop braking at vehicle speeds up to a maximum speed of 50 km/h.
Aiming to support the driver as much as possible within certain limits with all these systems, Mercedes-Benz also underlines that the driver is the person who is fully responsible for the safe use of the vehicle, as stipulated by the laws.
