Active Brake Assist 5
Active Brake Assist 5 (ABA 5) detects distance and speed to moving and stationary objects in its path and determines if braking is necessary. It’s the only system on the market that works down to 8 km/h, making it ideal for travel in congested urban areas. It also recognises pedestrians who are about to cross in the truck’s path, alerting the driver while partially braking, followed by full braking if the driver does not react. The market-leading ABA 5 has fused a camera and radar, which is cutting-edge technology.
ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL TO 0 KM/H AND BRAKE HOLD MODE
Detroit Assurance enables state-of-the-art features that make a driver’s workday safer and more comfortable than ever before. And on the job site, brake hold mode keeps a truck stopped when the driver removes their foot from the brake pedal, or if their foot unintentionally slips off.
SIDE GUARD ASSIST
A game changer for safety in and around busy jobsites, Side Guard Assist detects objects on the passenger side of the truck and alerts the operator.
