The safety systems described in this brochure have been developed to enhance active safety and to help van drivers devote their full attention to the situation on the road.
Despite their capabilities, these innovative assistance systems cannot defy the laws of physics and do not absolve the driver of the duty to drive safely.
Safety comes standard.
Expect nothing less.
Safety isn’t a luxury, it’s a necessity. That’s been the
Mercedes-Benz way right from the beginning. All our
commercial vehicles must meet high standards to ensure
driver and passenger safety. When it comes to safety,
wethink more is better.
Safety
Our entry level Vito has been given an ANCAP Safety Rating
of 4 stars, while a Vito fitted with optional head protecting
window airbags has achieved the highest ANCAP Rating
available in Australia; 5 stars. This 5 star rating is a first for
the Australian Van Market, making the Vito the only van in
Australia to have achieved this outstanding result.
Technology
Standard equipment includes ADAPTIVE ESP
®
, which
combines anti-lock braking (ABS) in combination with
acceleration skid control (ASR); Electronic brake force
distribution (EBD) and a brake assist system (BAS).
Together,these systems help improve directional stability
and traction in critical situations.
