Always at your side: The new generation of the improved Sideguard Assist can support drivers in changing lanes and turning manoeuvres under restricted visibility conditions in all speed ranges. The radar sensors located on the driver’s and co-driver’s side as well as the display in the A-pillar on both sides can draw the driver’s attention to possible dangers, whereby they can help to mitigate critical traffic situations by intervening in good time.

Your third eye: The radar sensor of the newly developed Frontguard Assist system located at the front of the vehicle can warn drivers in hectic scenarios – such as when pulling away or at junctions – by means of visual and acoustic signals if unprotected road users are directly in front of the truck.

Attention, pause: The attention assistance system can continuously track the Unimog driver's typical behaviour and use this to create an individual profile for detecting fatigue. Attention Assist takes into account various measurement data such as longitudinal and lateral acceleration, speed, steering wheel angle, turn signal and pedal movements as well as external factors such as unevenness in the road surface or cross wind. In the event of noticeable deviations, the system can detect signs of drowsiness and warn the driver in good time with an acoustic signal and a visual display in the instrument cluster, recommending a break.

Speed limits always in view: Traffic Sign Assist can use camera and map data to detect traffic signs such as speed limits as well as no-overtaking and no-entry signs, and warn the driver if the vehicle goes on the wrong road. The assistance system is designed especially for long, monotonous journeys. Its high level of stress-relieving comfort helps to improve driver fitness and concentration. For this purpose, the assistance system can inform the driver by means of a display and acoustic signal about variable speed limits – for example at roadworks – as well as additional warnings and restrictions, such as those that occur in certain weather conditions. The system can also monitor the vehicle speed and emit visual and audible warning signals if the speed is exceeded.

Be careful: The reversing camera also displays the area behind the vehicle. The camera system is automatically activated when reverse gear is engaged and can transmit the image in real time to the rotating and swivelling monitor in the cab. This means that drivers are also able to keep an eye on everything when manoeuvring and reversing.

Agile and economical: As an alternative to the TireControl plus tyre pressure control system, which you can optionally equip your Unimog with ex works, the tyre pressure monitoring system is available. A sensor permanently monitors the tyre pressure of all tyres on the tractor vehicle as well as on the semitrailer or trailer in real time and can warn the driver if this is too low or if there is a loss of pressure. This means that a possible source of danger can be quickly eliminated, while the reduced rolling resistance ensures the lowest possible energy consumption. In addition, the system also contributes to a longer service life of the tyres.

Only roadworthy when sober: According to the EU directive, all new vehicles must have an interface via which an alcohol tester can be installed in the vehicle if required. If an alcohol tester is installed, it is automatically linked to the vehicle’s immobiliser.
