Our trucks put safety first. That's why the Active Brake Assist 5285, 287 comes as part of the standard equipment. It assists drivers287 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.

Further Assistance systems.
Active Sideguard Assist287, 1, 210.
The Active Sideguard Assist287, 1, 210 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 situations201, 211 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.
Active Drive Assist 2287, 248, 284.
Active Drive Assist 2287, 248, 284 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 2287, 248, 284 extends the functionality of Proximity Control Assist287, 98. 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 5285, 287 with the electrically assisted steering and Lane Keeping Assist287.
Trailer Stability Assist287, 246.
The system can increase road safety by pre-emptively braking the vehicle and trailer/semitrailer in a range of possible driving situations, thereby stabilising the vehicle combination.
Automatic main/dipped beam and cornering light function1, 243.
This optional new headlamp system contributes to enhanced safety through improved illumination of the carriageway. Besides the LED daytime running lights, it also includes automatic switching between main beam and dipped beam, as well as an automatic cornering light and front fog lamps.
LED main headlamps1
The daytime running lights, standing lights, dipped and high beam as well as the indicator are LED. This means especially high light emission with low energy consumption.
Parking brake, electronic.
It is automatically activated when the engine is turned off – but can also be turned on and off by operating the lever in the cockpit. To ensure an even greater level of safety, the electronic parking brake is also automatically activated in the event of the door being opened when the engine is running and the speed is 0 km/h.
Camera integration.
This optional ex factory pre-installation enables the swift and simple installation of up to four analogue cameras. This can increase safety, for example when manoeuvring.
LED tail lamps1.
The new, optionally available LED tail lamps1 make a decisive statement, notably thanks to the turn signal function which moves from the inside of the vehicle towards the outside to clearly signal the intended direction.
LED daytime running lamps243.
In conjunction with the characteristic Actros headlamps with a headlamp surround in titanium grey, the new LED daytime running lamps243 with an integrated indicator lamp help to improve recognition of the vehicle during the daytime for enhanced safety. It also dims automatically when the headlights are set to dipped beam.
MirrorCam287, 1, 271.
In place of the conventional inside rearview mirrors, the Actros L is fitted with the innovative, aerodynamically refined MirrorCam287, 1, 271. This saves fuel and offers improved visibility to the rear and in the area of the A-pillar.
MirrorCam287, 1, 271 also provides for added safety during manoeuvring, turning off and changing lanes, for example by panning247 the camera image in accordance with the vehicle's movements. As an alternative to the MirrorCam287, 1, 271, a classic mirror system is also available.
All images are by way of example only and may differ from the configurations which are available to order. Subject to change without notice.
Traffic Sign Assist287, 256.
In suitable conditions, the new assistance system recognises certain traffic signs in real time and displays the two most important signs in the instrument cluster which can help enhance safety and driving comfort.
