The new driver assistance systems -now even more convenient and safe.
| When you want to ensure that you are transported safely, tooAn intelligent safety concept supports you while you drive and aims to protect you from injuries in the event of an accident. The cruise control allows you to select and set a speed of 30 km/h or more. The parking assistance system Rear Assist displays pictures taken by the rear view camera on your radio navigation system to offer you an improved view of the area behind your vehicle. The headlights come with a coming/leaving home function and automatically switch on when it gets dark to illuminate the area when you get in and out of your vehicle. |
The headlights come with a coming/leaving home function and automatically switch on when it gets dark to illuminate the area when you get in and out of your vehicle. A turning light for better visibility on dangerous intersections and road junctions, daytime driving lights and a tyre pressure monitoring display are available as optional extras.

| Speed-dependent control for power assisted steering is available as an option. Power assistance is greatest at low speeds: it facilitates comfortable driving with low effort when manoeuvring, turning off, or steering on narrow bends. Power assistance is reduced as speed becomes higher which contributes towards increasing driving safety. In comparison with conventional power assisted steering, Servotronic with speed-dependent control offers greater steering precision at higher speeds.

The intelligent driver assistance systems for the new Transporter- Side Assist: which helps you when changing lanes, has radar sensors tomonitor traffic. When you change lanes, the system will warn you via a visual signal in the door mirrors if another vehicle is identified in the area surrounding the blind spot.
- Turning light: integrated in the headlamps lights up curves and bends on the road when you make a turn at 40 km/h or less. This allows you to anticipate possible risks sooner and ensures that you arrive safely.
- Rear Assist: The rear view camera Rear Assist gives you an optimised view of the area behind your Transporter. Coloured lines on the display of your RNS 510 Radio Navigation System indicate the route for reverse parking.
Now even safer for drivers and passengersSafety is a priority. This applies to all areas of work and, of course, to the Transporter. It’s equipped with an Electronic Stabilisation Programme (ESP), including brake assist and hill holder systems, Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) and Electronic Differential Lock (EDL) as a standard to offer you the best protection possible. Maximum safety as a standard is also ensured by the seat belt warning for the driver as well as airbags for the driver and front passenger. | |
Overall protection – further components of the safety system
- Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBV): When the vehicle weight is transferred to the front wheels during braking, the Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBV) prevents lockup of the rear wheels, which are under less pressure. This way, you can remain safely on course in your lane of traffic.
- Seat belt warning: reminds the driver that his or her seat belt is not fastened. An audiovisual signal is used to request that the seat belt is fastened before you start driving.
- Electronic Stabilisation Programme (ESP): including hill holder, prevents the vehicle from swerving in critical driving conditions by controlled and targeted intervention in the brake and engine management. Thus, the vehicle achieves maximum directional stability.
- Tyre pressure monitoring display: activates a warning signal to report changes in pressure in any of the four tyres. This lets the driver know that the tyre pressure should be checked as soon as possible.
- Anti-lock Braking System (ABS): prevents wheels from locking up and therefore significantly improves the manoeuvrability of the vehicle when braking hard.
- Brake Assist: recognises the speed at which the brake pedal is actuated. In the case of reflex or emergency braking, the system applies full brake pressure more rapidly.
