No matter what you use your truck for: the most important thing is accident-free driving. Mercedes-Benz Trucks assistance systems can help you keep an eye on everything and manoeuvre your vehicle on the road in a controlled manner – especially in critical situations. The applicable legal EU standards for safety assistance systems are not only met, but in some cases even exceeded. But from a Mercedes-Benz Truck, we would expect nothing less.
The advanced, second generation of Active Sideguard Assist can support drivers across the entire speed range when changing lanes or turning with restricted visibility. What’s more, the two-stage warning system can alert drivers to potential hazards so that they can mitigate a critical traffic situation in good time.
Active Brake Assist already fulfils the AEBS (Advanced Emergency Braking System) legislation, which will come into force in September 2028. The 270‑degree fusion technology features enhanced reality capture. This enables the system to react even faster to critical situations. As a result, greater accident prevention can be achieved for vehicles up to 90 km/h as well as for pedestrians and cyclists up to 60 km/h. The system now also clearly indicates if it is not yet fully active.
Frontguard Assist can increase driving safety even before you set off: it monitors the traffic area in front of the vehicle and supports you in the speed range up to 15 km/h, e.g. when the vehicle is stationary, when moving off or at junctions. If the system detects moving objects in front of the vehicle, such as people, the warning system can help you react in good time with a two-stage hazard warning.
The latest generation of Active Drive Assist offers even more safety and comfort, especially on long journeys. From automatic proximity control (including in stop-and-go traffic in traffic jams) to smart Lane Keeping Assist and the Emergency Steering function: if there is a risk of collision when changing lanes, the system can actively intervene and steer your truck back into its own lane. For example, if a health problem causes you to stop driving, the hands-off warning can initiate controlled emergency braking if you fail to react.
Attention Assist 2 can help to prevent accidents in the event of driver inattentiveness or fatigue by means of visual and acoustic warnings. Using an integrated camera, it records the driver’s visual attention based on their viewing angle as well as the driver’s level of fatigue. All data remains inside the vehicle.
The Active Cross Traffic Assist helps you avoid collisions with fast cross traffic. Thanks to the 270°‑sensor fusion technology with camera and radar sensors on the front, corners and sides of the truck, the system can detect crossing vehicles at speeds of up to 120 km/h.
