Overview
Vehicle concept
General
The newly developed medium-heavy and heavy commercial vehicles will gradually replace the previous truck product range of vehicles of 18 t permissible gross vehicle weight and over. The new vehicles are classified according to use into three models for long-distance, distribution and construction applications. Each model has its own marked appearance and a design which blends in harmoniously with the Mercedes-Benz truck product family. The features characteristic of the long-distance haulage model are high ride comfort, high economy and excellent vehicle dynamics. The new product range is based on a modular system which allows customers to put together their vehicles individually. Separating the models into the three aforementioned application segments makes it significantly easier for customers to choose the right vehicle. Customers no longer choose a basic vehicle which they then have to adapt it to its purpose with suitable equipment. Instead, customers simply select the model to obtain an optimally designed and equipped vehicle. Advantages of the modular system for the customer: • • • • • One cab concept Two engine concepts Uniform electronic architecture Uniform special equipment range Standardized drive concept for all models i Note This Introduction into Service Manual only describes the long-haul vehicles with market launch in 09/2011: 4x2 and 6x2 platform vehicles and semitrailer tractors (SZF) with long cab, (left-hand drive vehicles) with engine OM 471 (310, 330 and 375 kW) in Euro V and Euro VI. In addition to the aforementioned classification into application areas by model, the vehicles are further specified through "product groups" (PG). In the case of long-distance haulage and distribution vehicles, these are Payload and Volume. The Payload product group contains weight-optimized vehicles for payload-sensitive customers, e.g. in the tank/silo segment. The Volume product group comprises all low-frame variants with the versions car transporter, low frame and Lowliner.

Model designation system
A new model designation system is being introduced with model 963. The six-digit model designation describes the properties of the basic model. The future product range will be divided into two basic concepts: road vehicles (Onroad) and construction vehicles (Offroad). This distinction is identified by the third digit of the model designation number. The vehicle type, which previously occupied the 3rd digit, moves one digit to the rear but the familiar numbers have been retained. The wheelbase is no longer part of the model designation number.

Model codes
Overview
Code system
The special equipment codes still have three digits but now have the sequence "letter - number letter". The codes are made up of the installation location, function and logical usage. Associated codes have the same digits. For example, all front axles start with A1, rear axles with A2 etc. The number range "9" in the code groups is reserved for preinstallations or omissions. The meaning of the code group starting with "D" has been changed. Previously, this was only used for roof codes. In future, this code group will be used for "Cab interior" equipment. Group "F" now only includes "Cab exterior" equipment as a result. Communication equipment such as radio units is now assigned to group "J". Group "S" no longer includes seats and beds, but everything to do with safety e.g. stability control assistant (S1D).

Axle designation
New designation of axles
With the introduction of the new Actros, all axles have been given a new designation. The basis for this is the Common Axle Platform (CAP), whose aim is to standardize axle parameters on a worldwide basis. This allows a greater number of variants to be produced with a minimum number of parts. In future, axles will only be referred to using the new naming convention. The previous designations which included the axle model and axle model series (e.g. HL6, VL4 etc.) have been discontinued. Below you will find two examples of the new axle designations, one for a "non-driven" axle and one for a "driven" axle.

Aerodynamics
Various measures have been implemented to improve aerodynamics: • • • • • • • Design of cab Special aerodynamic roofs Aerodynamically optimized air guides Cooling air control in front module Door extension Aerodynamically optimized splash guard Aerodynamically optimized underfloor
Cab The measures introduced to reduce the aerodynamic drag of the cab include: • The optimized bodyshell shape, tested in the wind tunnel and on CAD systems • The optimized bumper • The more steeply inclined windshield Front air guides The drag-reducing design of the air guides provides optimal air ducting to the sides of the vehicle front. This has two advantages: • Low soiling of cab sides • Best-possible aerodynamics Underfloor paneling The aerodynamic side underfloor paneling deflects the airstream under the vehicle. This reduces the drag coefficient and fuel consumption. The side underfloor paneling is available for all vehicles. Door extensions The paintable door extensions are made of plastic and are bolted to the door. They cover the steps and improve the airflow around the cab.

Cooling air control in front module The modular cooling air control system in the front module serves to control the supply of cooling air to the engine compartment according to demand. The flexible, fully automatic control system for cooling air supply helps to improve the vehicle aerodynamics and thus lower fuel consumption. At low outside temperatures, it also has a positive effect on the engine's warming up characteristics through the reduction in air flowing through the engine compartment.

Maintenance
Maintenance system
The maintenance intervals are determined by the maintenance system (MS) control unit according to the vehicle usage. The remaining time or remaining distance until the next service is due is shown on the multifunction display. Due to technical developments, the maintenance intervals of certain components and major assemblies have been extended. At the same time, emphasis was placed on ease of maintenance and repair right from the design stage of new products. This is shown, for example, by the good accessibility to maintenance points and reduced removal/installation times. The maintenance system is included as standard on all vehicles and takes the form of a software component of the central gateway control unit (CGW). The following components are monitored by sensors (depending on vehicle version): • • • • • • Engine Transmission Transfer case Retarder Front axle (on all-wheel drive vehicles) Rear axle (RA) (preinstallation for 2nd rear axle is available but no temperature sensor is installed currently) Air filter Brake linings (up to 5 axles) Time-based servicing scheme (everything which is serviced once a year) Universal components (for body manufacturers) Power take-off 1-3 (not assigned ex factory) Fuel filter Diesel particulate filter (DPF) For the engine, transmission and axles, sensing takes place via the oil temperature. A higher oil temperature indicates a higher load and the defined "service life" of the major assembly expires more quickly. Based on the current load data, the maintenance system calculates the remaining time until the next service is due. Since the quality of oil used also affects the service life of a major assembly, this can be set to 3 stages. For engine oil, the viscosity of the oil used is also relevant. The fuel grade also influences the service life, which is why its sulfur content can be set in the menu. • 0 – 0.05 % sulfur content = factor 1 • 0.05 – 0.1 % sulfur content = factor 0.5 • > 0.1 % sulfur content = factor 0.3 Roughly 2 weeks before a service is due, the driver is informed about this via a pop-up message when the ignition is switched on. The next warning stage appears with the message "Service immediately". All of the displayed messages are stored in the memory so that, in the event of complaints, it is possible to determine when each message was displayed.

Diagnosis
The diagnosis functions of the control units are primarily intended to ensure that the corresponding systems operate properly. This takes place through ongoing checking of whether the sensors connected to a control unit supply plausible values. The diagnostic data can also be used for troubleshooting. The UDS (Unified Diagnostic-Services) diagnosis protocol, which is also used in the passenger car sector, is used for data transfer purposes. Compared to the predecessor model, the diagnosis routines for service have been significantly optimized. This is particularly noticeable in the speed of communication with control units. The diagnostic CAN operates at 500 kBaud and multiple control units can transmit and receive simultaneously. When a control unit is flashed, communication between control units is interrupted in order to free up the CAN line. This shortens the flashing time from approx. 30 min to approx. 3 min. Faults which occur can be read out on the instrument cluster. The advantage of this is that the driver can read out the faults and inform the workshop in advance about which faults are occurring.
On-Board Diagnosis (OBD)
OBD is used to monitor and diagnose all systems which affect exhaust emissions. It is a legal requirement. Malfunctions and faults which occur are displayed to the driver via an indicator lamp and stored in the fault memory. These can be read out using Star Diagnosis. The stricter regulations of OBD 2 apply to the Euro VI standard. The OBD-NOx-Control system monitors, for example, the quantity of nitrogen oxide (NOx) and particulate mass (PM) emissions. If the limits are exceeded, the system informs the driver and takes action e.g. actuation of the MIL (Malfunction Indicator Lamp) or, in the most extreme case, torque reduction.

Drive
Engine OM 471
General
Engine OM 471 represents the first time a 6cylinder inline engine with double overhead camshaft (DOHC) has been used in a commercial vehicle. The two camshafts are driven by a gear drive on the output side of the engine. This significantly reduces noise emissions. Engine OM 471 is available in four power categories ranging between 310 and 375 kW. The excellent characteristics of the engines, in particular their low fuel consumption in relation to their high power, have been achieved with a range of technical innovations: • The new injection system (APCRS=Amplified Pressure Common Rail System) represents the first time a Common Rail system with pressure amplification has been used in a commercial vehicle. This system reduces the quantity of fuel required for combustion to a minimum. • The engine braking system has been completely redeveloped and impresses with even greater braking power. • The cooled and controlled exhaust gas recirculation system (AGR), the diesel particulate filter (DPF) and a modified crankcase ventilation system ensure that the system will also comply with future emissions regulations.

Engine cooling
The vehicle cooling system is designed as a "cooling module" with separate expansion reservoir. The cooling module consists of the following components: • • • • • Condenser (only with air conditioning) Charge air cooler Radiator Fan shroud Expansion reservoir Vehicles with secondary water retarder are equipped with a 1-chamber expansion reservoir with pressure relief valve, which is supplied with pressure externally from the auxiliary consumer circuit. The multifunction display of the instrument cluster visually displays whether the coolant level is OK, too high or too low. If the coolant temperature is too high, an acoustic warning is also issued.
Vehicles without secondary water retarder are equipped with a 2-chamber expansion reservoir for rapid pressure buildup. Here, the smaller chamber is protected by a pressure relief valve leading to the larger chamber, while the pressure relief valve of the 2nd chamber can blow off to the outside if necessary.
Coolant
With the introduction of the new Actros, the previous coolant G48 (green/blue) has been replaced with coolant G40 (red). This has the following advantages: • Better performance compared to G48 due to fewer deposits in the cooling system • Better heat dissipation • More environmentally friendly because it no longer includes any ecologically harmful borax components Mixing the two coolants is not permitted. A mixture results in rust-brown discoloration. This can potentially cause problems. As a result, the G48 must be drained off first before filling the system with G40. Low residual quantities (1 % -3 %) of G48 in the cooling system only result in insignificant discoloration and are safe.

Engine cooling thermal management
The engine cooling thermal management system optimizes the efficiency of the engine and thus reduces fuel consumption. This is achieved by deliberately influencing the coolant temperature and by actuating the following components according to demand: • Coolant pump • Fan clutch By regulating the coolant pump, the coolant throughput in the engine is reduced to the level required by the respective operating condition. In addition, the cooling air throughput of the engine radiator is regulated via the fan clutch depending on the operating condition.
Cooling air control
When the radiator shutters are open, the cooling air can flow through the radiator and thus the entire engine compartment and frame. This results in increased aerodynamic drag, which has an effect on fuel consumption. As of a parameterizable speed, the slats of the radiator shutters are closed in order to keep the drag coefficient low. During driving operation, the system regulates according to demand. Actuation is carried out by actuator motors. When the vehicle is parked, the radiator shutters are opened to prevent damage, jamming and icing up at low outside temperatures in the closed state. The position of the slats can be queried via the position of the stepper motors and malfunctions are displayed via appropriate messages on the multifunction display. In the event of a malfunction, the radiator shutters are opened to ensure a supply of cooling air (failsafe).

Controlled coolant pump (M7T)
The main component of the thermal management system is the controlled coolant pump. This features an electric viscous coupling which allows the pump element to be engaged and disengaged. In terms of design, controlled and uncontrolled coolant pumps differ through their different belt pulley diameters and the coupling element. The coolant pump is mounted on the left-hand side of the engine and is driven by the poly-V belt. Safety/limp-home mode The controlled coolant pump is designed as a failsafe component. This means that, in the event of a malfunction, the operational safety of the vehicle is maintained and no consequential damage is expected. Emergency running characteristics: • In the event of electrical faults (e.g. cable break, short circuit), the pump is designed to automatically operate at maximum output.

General
In order to comply with current and future exhaust emission limits, the vehicle also features an exhaust aftertreatment system consisting of an SCR catalytic converter (Selective Catalytic Reduction) and diesel particulate filter (DPF) in addition to the inengine exhaust gas recirculation system. All of the components are housed in one housing, the exhaust aftertreatment unit. Exhaust aftertreatment in the exhaust aftertreatment unit takes place in two stages: First stage: oxidation catalytic converter and diesel particulate filter Second stage: SCR catalytic converter Euro V In contrast to the Euro VI engine version, there is no diesel particulate filter. There are only 2 instead of 5 temperature sensors and only 1 NOx sensor instead of 2. All of the exhaust pressure sensors are omitted because these are only used to determine the charge level of the diesel particulate filter on Euro VI engines. There are also minor changes in the location of the components.
System monitoring
Multiple pressure, temperature and NOx sensors are used to monitor the function of the system, which is a legal requirement. These continuously monitor the quality of the exhaust treatment. Furthermore, every detected fault is stored in the fault memory of On-Board Diagnosis (OBD2). If the legally stipulated limits are exceeded, the engine power is reduced in stages. The NOx sensor is the central component of the exhaust aftertreatment system. It continuously checks the proportion of nitrogen oxides in the exhaust during driving operation. Based on this information, the required quantity of AdBlue® is calculated.

Diesel particulate filter regeneration
Automatic regeneration Active regeneration normally takes place automatically roughly every 8000 km. The exact time is determined by evaluating the two pressure sensors of the exhaust aftertreatment control unit (ACM). Regeneration can be suppressed by the driver by pressing the "Stop regeneration" button (1b) e.g. to prevent increased exhaust temperatures during transportation of hazardous goods (GGVS). Manual regeneration Furthermore, manual activation of regeneration by the driver is possible as soon as the message that regeneration is required is shown on the multifunction display.

The clutch is installed directly on the flywheel and serves to interrupt the power flow between the engine and transmission to allow the gears to be shifted. On vehicles with Mercedes PowerShift 3 (G5G), the clutch is a push-type clutch operated by the pneumatic central clutch release bearing. In order to allow greater mileages with the same contact force of the clutch, clutch plates with thicker clutch linings and clutch pressure plates with integrated automatic self adjustment are installed. The self adjustment mechanism of the clutch pressure plate compensates for the wear travel of the clutch linings and keeps the contact force constant during 90 % of the clutch service life. The self adjustment mechanism continuously registers the decrease in clutch lining thickness and compensates for the gap by turning the adjusting ring (3).

Pneumatic central clutch release bearing
The central clutch release bearing (1) is located on the transmission input shaft of the manual transmission and is rigidly bolted to the front of the transmission housing. Actuation of the pneumatic central clutch release bearing (1) is carried out by the transmission control unit (TCM) and via the solenoid valves integrated in the transmission positioner. When the clutch is operated, the piston (4) of the central clutch release bearing (1) is pressurized with compressed air via the bore (arrow) and pushed forwards on the guide sleeve (8). The release bearing (2) thus presses against the disk springs of the clutch and actuates them. The inner seal of the central clutch release bearing (1) takes the form of two sealing rings (6 and 7). The preload spring (5) ensures that the release bearing (2) is always under minimal load when the clutch is not operated in order to avoid bearingrelated noises. The transmission control unit (TCM) inductively determines the position of the central clutch release bearing (1) via the clutch travel sensor (B503) installed on the central clutch release bearing (1).

Electronic brake control (EBS)
The electronic brake control (EBS) system (B1B) is an electronic control system with ABS and ASR which acts on the pneumatic brake system and is standard equipment on all vehicles. EBS functions • • • • Anti-lock braking system (ABS) Acceleration skid control (ASR) Stability control assistant Stability optimization: by limiting the FA brake pressure, the low rear axle load of solo semitrailer tractors is compensated for and the vehicle remains more stable during braking. Permanent brake integration: when the service brake is actuated, the permanent brakes installed in the vehicle are automatically activated via CAN connections if the road surface allows (as detected by the wheel speed sensors). Brake Assist System: emergency situations are reliably detected by, for example, the speed of pedal actuation and a lack of braking power (because the brake pedal is not depressed hard/far enough) is automatically compensated for. Rpm sensing and tire compensation: during driving operation, differences in the actual tire sizes are automatically compensated for. Hill holder: standard equipment of EBS, activated via a locking push button switch in the switch panel. When the vehicle is braked to a standstill, the brake pressure is maintained as long as the brake or accelerator pedal is at least slightly depressed. In the event of a total electrical failure, all axles of the tractor and trailer can be braked via the redundant pneumatic brake circuits. In order to warn following vehicles and thus improve road safety, the hazard warning system is actuated with an increased flashing frequency as of a certain level of deceleration. In this case, it does not matter whether the brake application was initiated by the driver or by one of the driving assistance systems. Service brake The central component is the electronic brake control (EBS) control unit which is installed in the electronics compartment in the cab. This determines the desired deceleration based on the signal from the brake value sensor and, if applicable, the requirements of external systems. Communication takes place via CAN connections. Pressure limitation for redundancy cases (ratio 1:1.5) for the rear axle is now integrated in the brake value sensor. A new part of the system network is a 1-channel axle modulator for regulating the front axle. This also incorporates a solenoid valve for directional switching of the redundant pressure. The brake pressure for the axles is regulated by the front axle and rear axle axle modulators, whereby the front axle is only actuated by one circuit. Here, individual control takes place via the downstream ABS valves on each side of the axle. The axle modulator for the rear axle has a separate channel for each side.

Brakes
Secondary water retarder (SWR)
General
The secondary water retarder (SWR) available as special equipment (B3H) is a wear-free hydrodynamic permanent brake whereby the flow energy of a fluid medium is used to brake the vehicle. In principle, its design corresponds to that of a torque converter. The stator (A) is secured against turning relative to the rotor and stator frame. The rotor (B) is connected to the drivetrain. The fluid brake medium circulates (C) between the turning rotor and the fixed stator (A). This generates a braking torque on the rotor (B) which acts on the vehicle drivetrain through a pair of gears. Due to the gear ratio, the retarder achieves high braking torques right down to low rpm ranges. The SWR builds upon the functional principle of the familiar performance-optimized Voith retarder (BA1). However, instead of retarder oil, the SWR uses the coolant of the engine cooling circuit as a braking medium. This innovative development optimizes the previous retarder design with increased braking effect through the following features: • Weight reduction of approx. 30 kg • Maximum braking power n = 3650 Nm (VR115HV: n = 3500 Nm) • Reduction of installation space by approx. 50 % due to omission of oil cooler • Reduction in maintenance costs due lack of oil change requirement • Reduction in variants

Function requirements
Anti-lock braking system (ABS), acceleration skid control (ASR) and stability control assistant are not performing control interventions.
The drive control (CPC) control unit then transmits a corresponding request via drivetrain CAN to the retarder control unit (RCM). In addition to the braking request by the drive control (CPC) control unit, the retarder control unit (RCM) also evaluates further information: • • • • • Vehicle speed Coolant pump rpm Coolant temperature Transmission output speed Engine speed
Function sequence
The retarder can be actuated both by the driver via the right multifunction control lever and by the following driver assistance systems: • Cruise control • Proximity Control Assist (S1l) The braking request by the driver is issued via the permanent brake switch on the right multifunction control lever. The driver can preselect the intensity of the SWR braking effect. In addition, the SWR can be activated through system-initiated braking torque requests from the cruise control or Proximity Control Assist driving assistance systems. Both driver-initiated and system-initiated braking torque requests are evaluated by the drive control (CPC) control unit. The drive control (CPC) control unit calculates the required intensity of SWR braking, also taking the engine braking power into account.
Based on this information, the retarder control unit (RCM) calculates a characteristics map which corresponds to the required braking torque and is used to regulate the pneumatic actuating pressure at the SWR.

Frame concept
The frame concept incorporates a wheelbase pattern of 300 mm. The range extends from 2550 mm (C1B) as the smallest wheelbase on 6x2/2 semitrailer tractors up to the largest wheelbase of 6700 mm (C3V), which is available as special equipment for 4x2 platform vehicles. The vehicles have a front vehicle overhang of 1400 mm (= 650 mm front frame overhang), which provides for optimal entry and offers sufficient installation space in the wheel well for tires up to 315/80 R 22.5 without snow chains. Starting with a uniform frame track width of 900 mm in the front area (outer edge of longitudinal frame members), there are 2 track width versions for the rear area to accommodate air-sprung and steel-sprung vehicles: air-sprung vehicles have a frame track width of 834 mm whereas steel-sprung vehicles have a frame track width of 744 mm (based on inner edges of longitudinal frame members). There is a new concept for describing the rear overhangs: previously, an extension of the standard rear overhang for 2 and 3-axle vehicles was possible with a single code for each vehicle but on the new Actros every possible rear overhang length has its own code. A standard rear overhang is defined for every model designation/wheelbase combination and all other possible rear overhangs can be ordered as special equipment for the specific model designation with a code. Apart from a few exceptions, the rear frame overhangs are also available in a pattern of 300 mm stages up to a maximum overhang of 3900 mm, whereby the maximum available overhang depends on the respective model designation and wheelbase. The range extends from 750 mm up to 3900 mm (C0A to C9I). The maximum permissible rear overhang remains unchanged at 65 % of the wheelbase on 2-axle vehicles and 70 % of the technical wheelbase on 3-axle vehicles.

Front axle
The suspension of the front axle is characterized by significant weight savings compared to the predecessor model. At the same time, optimized spring bearings provide major improvements in ride comfort and vehicle dynamics: • Grooved dampers for better ride comfort during straightahead travel • Spring eye bearings which are soft in the transverse direction and hard in the longitudinal direction • Replacement of spring clamps with a clamping brace with conventional screws (M24), eliminating force losses due to settling and providing better vehicle dynamics The suspension features a new 2-leaf spring with a load capacity of 8 t, providing a weight saving of approx. 30 kg. Another new feature is a 1-leaf front spring with a load capacity of 7.5 t (Q1Q) as a special version for road vehicles with max. 32 t permissible gross vehicle weight. The weight advantage compared to the 2-leaf standard spring is approximately 21 kg. A clever safety concept ensures that the vehicle remains controllable even if the front spring breaks because the spring is pressed onto the stop buffers by the rear bearing bracket. Due to the very stiff design of the springs, the spring travel is reduced by roughly 20 mm. All steel springs are asymmetric (850 mm/950 mm) and have a width of 90 mm.

Air suspension
The suspension of the air-sprung front axle (A1A) has been almost completely redesigned. Due to the new air suspension bellows with minimal overall height at maximum spring travel, the bellows can be located under the frame. This measure also improves the ride comfort. Furthermore, due to the elimination of the carrying parts for the bellows, roughly 120 kg of weight could be saved compared to the air-sprung front axle of the predecessor model. In order to accommodate the different frame heights, the air-sprung variant of the front axle comes with a total of 4 air suspension bellows variants: • 830 mm for semitrailer tractors with low frame/Lowliner • 845 mm for platform vehicles with low frame version • 955 mm for semitrailer tractors • 980 mm for platform vehicles with standard frame
Front axle stabilizer bars
Two different stabilizer bars are used for road vehicles. The standard stabilizer bar made of spring steel has a diameter of 36 mm and a weight of roughly 15 kg. The second variant is the stabilizer link for the airsprung front axle with a diameter of 70 mm and a weight of roughly 34 kg.

Rear axle
All vehicles are equipped with 4-bellows air suspension on the rear axle and a standard stabilizer link. On vehicles with integral rear end (C7T), the suspension has an asymmetric design due to the space requirement of batteries and compressed air reservoirs (smaller bellows at rear). A longer lever arm on the rear bellows supports ensures that the forces are distributed uniformly. The suspension has been adjusted to the wider frame track width. The stabilizer bearing bracket and air bellows support components (on vehicles without integral rear end) have been combined. An innovative attachment system - the bellows are merely inserted into their mounts at the bottom and fastened with a quick-release coupling at the top reduces assembly time both in the plant and for service. Decoupling of the air suspension bellows from the lower support prevents damage to the bellows e.g. if the vehicle is raised with a crane.

Level control (air-sprung vehicles)
The level control system allows the driver to freely raise and lower the frame of air-sprung vehicles e.g. on loading ramps, when driving under bridges, through tunnels, when coupling and uncoupling swap bodies and containers, when driving onto rollon/roll-off ferries etc. The level control (CLCS) control unit is mounted on the frame near the level control valve of the rear axle. It features the IP67 protection class (= dustproof and protected against temporary immersion) and is available in three variants: • 4x2 partial air suspension with just one plug connection • 4x2 full air suspension or 6x2 partial air suspension • 4x2 full air suspension and 6x2 full air suspension with roll control assistant The desired height is changed/programmed via the operating unit, known as the Chassis Level Control Panel (CLCP), which is attached via a flexible helix cable. The CLCP has two memory buttons which can be used to store any frame heights desired. The heights are stored by pressing and holding the button and the CLCP indicates that storage was successful through flashing of all LEDs. The system can however also be operated via the instrument cluster or the new multifunction key. In addition, compulsory lowering can be stopped and the driving level can be readjusted via a switch on the instrument panel
W32.33-2077-00
Level control operating unit (CLCP=Chassis Level Control Panel)
Pressing a button activates the operating unit. A stylized truck above the control buttons has background illumination to indicate which axle can currently be adjusted. The axle can be switched using the "left" and "right" arrow buttons (if more than one axle is equipped with air suspension). The frame height can be adjusted using the "up" and "down" arrow buttons.

Front axle
The front axles installed in the new Actros are improved designs of the previous non-driven front axles. With the new model designations and new axle designations, they can be clearly distinguished from the previous front axles. The new non-driven front axles with permissible axle loads of 7.5/8.0 t or 9.0 t are steered rigid axles with forged axle housings and an offset design. They are equipped with internally ventilated disk brakes as standard and are installed on vehicles with both air suspension and steel suspension. In order to accommodate the different installation space setup of the new frame, the mounting points of the spring packages, air bellows supports and control arms have been modified. The stiffer design results in less deformation and thus greater directional stability during braking. Despite the greater rigidity, the dead weight of the axles has also been reduced compared to comparable axles of the predecessor model. The axle track width for all non-driven front axles is 1800 mm and the distance between spring centers remains unchanged at 840 mm. Steering knuckle On the steering knuckles, a "12 o'clock" position has been introduced for mounting of the brake caliper. The raw part of the steering knuckle is thus identical for the left-hand and the right-hand side. The only distinction now is between steering knuckles with or without steering arm mount. The bearing for the kingpin has been standardized for all front axles. Wheel head A weight-optimized wheel flange and a wheel hub with compact bearing are the most important features of the new wheel head for all front axles with disk brakes. Axle offset The different axle offsets are used to accommodate different frame heights and suspension concepts.

Rear axle
The new Actros makes use of the tried-and-tested rear axles almost unchanged. With the new model designations and new axle designations, they can be clearly distinguished from the previous rear axles. The axle housing of the hypoid rear axles has been adjusted to the new frame. Due to its design, the new wishbone control arm has to be installed on the rear axle via two mounting points (2). This makes the new mount (1) on the axle housing necessary. Wishbone control arm All 4x2 vehicles are equipped with a split wishbone control arm instead of a one-piece wishbone control arm. This wishbone control arm consists of two individual trailing arms (5) whose notional extension meets at the pivot point (3). This arrangement of the pivot point (3) behind the rear axle (4) together with the newly developed front stabilizer bearing represents an innovation and significantly improves handling precision, steering characteristics and lateral stability.

Leading axle (VLA)
All leading axles feature slightly modified geometry and the wheel head of the new front axles. The rigid leading axles of the 6x2/2 semitrailer tractors with model designation 963.423 are manufactured by Hendrikson, as on the predecessor model. Lift axles can be raised so that the tires are approx. 35 mm above the road with a fully compressed rear axle and standard tires.
Trailing axle (NLA)
The unsteered trailing axles have been taken over from current series production. The steered trailing axles are based on the new front axles with the same wheel head but modified steering geometry. Trailing axles are only available with disk brakes. All of the trailing axles on low frame vehicles can only be lifted but not fully raised (A4W). A steered trailing axle is also available for platform vehicles.

Wheel configuration
Wheel configuration
Previously, the wheel configuration identifier for vehicles with leading and trailing axles did not indicate whether the vehicle had a leading or trailing axle (VLA or NLA). Accordingly, "/4" was added to the wheel configuration identifier for steered trailing axles. However, a vehicle with steered leading axle also had the same wheel configuration identifier (e.g. 6x2/4 LS, mod. des. 934.223). For future models a slash ("/") in the wheel configuration identifier will only be used for vehicles with leading axle e.g.: • 6x2/2 = 3-axle vehicle, unsteered leading axle • 6x2/4 = 3-axle vehicle, steered leading axle • 8x2/4 = 4-axle vehicle, steered leading axle For steered trailing axles, there will be no specification in the wheel configuration. A 6x2 is always a vehicle with trailing axle, which may be steered or unsteered. Steered and rigid trailing axles will be managed via codes. The standard version of the corresponding model designation is always the rigid trailing axle. This also affects 4-axle vehicles with trailing axle in addition to the 6x2 vehicles. This means that there is only one wheel configuration associated with each vehicle model designation. Vehicles with dual-tired trailing axle (DNA) are represented by a separate model designation: • C 96x.x25 6x2 Air DNA This also applies to vehicles with 17.5" leading axle. Due to the load capacity of the axles, these have a different tonnage. However, since the tonnage is a criterion which makes up part of the model designation, these vehicles are therefore represented by separate model designation: • C 96x.x27

Rims
Steep-shoulder rims (as per DIN 78022) of size 9.00 x 22.5 are used as standard on the new vehicles. Aluminum rims are available as special equipment in a shiny or matt design. All rims are 10-hole rims except for the 17.5 inch rim for leading axles. New rims: 11.75 x 22.5 Speedline Aluminum rims are now also available for VLA/NLA (previously only available for front axles), and the Speedline Aluminum rims 9.00 x 22.5 are available separately for FA/VLA/NLA. A steep-shoulder rim of size 9.75 x 22.5 is required for 315/45 R22.5 tires. This is only available as a steel rim to date. A metal ring is available as a wheel nut cap for the front axle and single-tired leading and trailing axles under code R0Z.
Tires
In general, the same tires are available for the new product range as for the current production models. However, due to the clearances in the front wheel wells, the maximum possible tire size is limited to 315/80 R22.5 or 385/65 R22.5. A spare wheel (R8P) is installed as standard, but can also be omitted with code R9Z. The location of the spare wheel depends on the vehicle and equipment.

The L cab of the new Actros features an aerodynamically efficient bodyshell shape. The bodyshell of the cabs is based on a frame structure made up of the floor assembly, the continuous roof frame, the A and B-pillars, the rear panel pillars, the roof bows and the front end carrier. The panels for the individual function groups such as the roof, rear panel, side walls and front end are welded to this frame structure. The bodyshell concept is designed so that the frame structure is largely of a standard height up to the roof frame and the different cab heights are realized by means of corresponding side roof carriers and panels above the roof frame.
A new feature of the floor assembly are the hot worked inner and outer longitudinal members, which meet increased strength requirements while conforming to the necessary tolerances. Compared to the cab of the predecessor model, the outer longitudinal members have a significantly stronger design. The entire bodyshell undergoes cathodic dip painting (KTL) as a corrosion prevention measure.

All cab versions are suspended and mounted on maintenance-free 4-point mounts. Reinforced cab mounts are available for special usage conditions. The cab mounts are available in three comfort levels: • Standard cab mounting, steel-sprung • Comfort cab mounting, steel-sprung • Comfort cab mounting, air-sprung The comfort mounting uses the tried-and-tested and maintenance-free rubber friction bearings from the current production model. They have been further developed to be completely noise-free and, thanks to the large volume of rubber, they offer significantly greater comfort.
A further quality improvement in cab mounting with respect to optimized assembly has been achieved through further development of the rear stabilizer bearings (rubber molecular bearings). These now feature only a single-sided end stop and their internal design makes them self-centering. This produces a defined gap dimension at the end stop side during assembly.

All cab versions are equipped with a 1-cylinder cab tilt system. Up to a cab weight of 1400 kg, there is a choice of a manually operated tilt mechanism and a more convenient electrohydraulic version. As of a cab weight of 1400 kg, only an electrohydraulic cab tilt system can be installed. When the service flap is opened in the right-hand entrance box, the manually operated pumping device with valve lever for adjusting the tilt direction is accessible. When tilting forwards, the cab is automatically unlocked and when tilting backwards, the cab is automatically locked. Operation of electrohydraulic tilt mechanism The cab is unlocked and the cab tilt system activated via a rocker switch on the modular switch panel. The operating switch for the electrohydraulic tilt mechanism is located behind the maintenance flap on all cab versions. When the maintenance flap is opened, the operation switch, which is attached to a helical line, can be removed allowing the cab to be tilted forwards and backwards from a safe distance. An indicator lamp on the instrument cluster indicates whether the cab is locked. The indicator lamp must go out after the engine is started.

Seats and beds
In the new truck generation, the range of driver and co-driver seats has been extended with new versions for drivers who primarily travel alone. The seat available for left-hand drive vehicles with a 2.5 m-wide cab in combination with the SoloStar concept (D0Z) is primarily intended for drivers who mainly travel alone, but it also allows a co-driver to be accommodated without problem for extended periods because the concept also offers an optional wide, level-adjustable upper deluxe bed (D3A) – and thus 2 beds in total. A new feature is the massage function (D2X), which is available as special equipment for the comfort suspension seat and air-conditioned suspension seat for driver and co-driver. When the function button is actuated, seven air chambers arranged one above the other in the backrest inflate and deflate in succession. This creates a wave moving from bottom to top which massages the back of the driver. The massage function is shut off automatically after 10 min. at the latest.

Beds
The standard equipment consists of a deluxe bed with high-quality 7-zone cold foam mattress in combination with a supporting spring system. The advantages of the new deluxe bed include an adjustable backrest instead of an adjustable headrest as well as improved access to the stowage compartments under the bed because the bed can be folded up completely and locked in place. The variants of the beds for the L cabs result from the different cab widths and roof heights as well as different equipment such as air intakes positioned diagonally opposite, stationary air conditioner etc.

Instrument panel
The instrument panel of the new truck generation is designed according to the motto "same identity but different character". It has been improved not just in terms of appearance and ergonomics, but also in terms of freedom of movement within the cab. There are approx. 400 variants of the instrument panel and they are all based on a standardized, asymmetrically designed standard instrument panel. The instrument panels differ clearly in terms of their color scheme and surface quality. The center module of the instrument panel is aligned to be within focus of the driver.

Instrument cluster
General
The centerpiece of the newly developed instrument cluster is a generously sized TFT display. The instrument cluster is available in four basic versions. The 20 sub-variants are a result of the different engine variants, because the display range of the tachometer is based on this. Furthermore, different variants are required if the tachograph is omitted and if the reading shows mph instead of km/h. The different language variants are implemented by the software. All variants include pointer instruments for speed, rpm and tank content of the diesel and AdBlue® tanks. 5 indicator lamp positions are available for body manufacturers which can be fitted with the corresponding symbol disks. On the instrument cluster (J1A), an internal speaker generates noises such as the turn signal noise and warning tones. The more advanced versions actuate the center speaker in the stowage compartment above the windshield. The instrument cluster is connected to the chassis CAN via an 18-pin connector. The connector also contains a connection to the center speaker for outputting warning tones. On vehicles without tachograph, an additional connector is required for the vehicle speed information. There is also a redundant LIN connection (Local Interconnect Network) to the EAPU (Electronic Air-Processing Unit) so that if the CAN bus fails the brake pressures can still be displayed, as required by law.
New features
• 10.4 cm (4.1") or 12.7 cm (5") full color-capable TFT display with QVGA resolution • "FleetBoard® EcoSupport" driver assistance system independent of the FleetBoard® telematics system • Intuitive control and display concept • Display of tire inflation pressure, level control • 3 trip computers, shift display for 2 drivers • Display of battery status, charge balance, starting capability • Display of gear recommendation and current fuel consumption • Updated phone book + calling lists, SMS display • Connection capability for up to 3 cameras to the instrument cluster with video function. A preinstallation for a reversing camera (J9J) is available ex factory and a suitable camera is available as a genuine Mercedes-Benz accessory. • Odometer display in both dial-type gauges for displaying time and outside temperature (left display) as well as total distance and trip distance (right-hand display) • Operation of level control via steering wheel buttons on air-sprung vehicles • 4 virtual indicator lamp positions in the lower left area of the TFT display which can be assigned variably depending on the vehicle equipment or current warning message • Extended driver data menu • Calibration of axle load characteristic via menu • Indicators for Euro VI

Multifunction steering wheel
The padded 4-spoke multifunction steering wheel with 450 mm diameter is available in a leather version (D0A) or a wood/leather version (D0D). Compared to the predecessor model, it now offers significantly greater control options which aid the driver continuously. The horn or air horn (F6Q) is actuated by pressing the central cover. An airbag on the driver side (S3A) is available as an option for all vehicles. The steering wheel height and inclination is adjusted via a foot switch. This allows safe and comfortable adjustment while keeping both hands on the steering wheel. When the foot switch is released, the steering column is locked in place again. The height adjustment range has been extended to 110 mm, while the inclination can be steplessly adjusted from 28° to 47°. The particularly steep park position (8.5° compared to 10.5° on the predecessor model) provides additional space during breaks and facilitates entering and exiting the vehicle.

The new truck generation is equipped with the drive authorization system, version 3 (FBS 3). The following control units and components combine to form the drive authorization system: • Electronic ignition lock (EIS) • Engine management control unit (MCM) • Transmission control unit (TCM) The electronic ignition lock (EIS) is the central controller unit of FBS 3 in combination with the transmitter key.
i Note If one of the control units of the drive authorization system or the electronic ignition lock (EIS) is replaced, this must be taught into the drive authorization system with Star Diagnosis.
Removal of transmitter key (S953) with engine running After the engine is started, the transmitter key is mechanically locked in the electronic ignition lock (EIS). In this state, it is not possible to lock the vehicle via the buttons of the transmitter key because they are inaccessible. However, a special mode allows the transmitter key to be removed with the engine running. To do so, the start/stop button must be pressed and held in stage 1 with the engine running. The transmitter key can then be removed. The message "Only maneuvering speed possible" then appears on the multifunction display of the instrument cluster.

General
Due to the increase in electronic systems in the new truck generation, more and more signals have to be made available throughout the system. This mainly affects the network, which has further increased in complexity. Alongside the familiar CAN and ASIC data bus systems, the LIN data bus is now being used increasingly. In the new Actros, there are 11 LIN data buses alone to connect the various control units, switches and other electronic components to each other. On the other hand, the number of CAN data buses has only increased slightly.
CAN data bus system
The CAN data bus system makes it possible to exchange information between control units quickly and reliably using few lines. In this case, the information is transmitted and received in succession (serial). Exchange takes place on a bidirectional basis i.e. every control unit acts as both a transmitter and a receiver. On the new Actros, there is no longer a direct connection from the telematics CAN (CAN 9) to the diagnostic socket.

Battery sensor (IBS)
The battery sensor (IBS) (G1a) is integrated in the terminal clamp of the negative terminal in the battery cable. The battery sensor (IBS) determines the charge level and starting capability of the batteries and transmits this information upon request via the battery sensor LIN to the cab sensor and actuator module (SCA). Prerequisites • The electronic ignition lock (EIS) is switched to "Terminal 15 ON". • The battery capacity is correctly parameterized in the instrument cluster control unit (ICUC) and in the cab sensor and actuator module (SCA). • The battery sensor (IBS) has not been newly connected. The battery status can be viewed at any time under the "Monitoring info" menu item in the multifunction display of the instrument cluster. In addition, the driver is actively informed by appropriate messages on the multifunction display if the battery charge level drops below a certain value.

Power supply
The standard power supply consists of two maintenance-free 12 V batteries each with a capacity of 170 Ah and a weight of approx. 94 kg. Larger batteries (2x12 V 220 Ah) are available under code (E1C) and may also be required depending on the equipment. The higher capacity variant has a combined weight of roughly 120 kg. The battery and energy management system equipped as standard continuously monitors the status of the battery and actively shuts off comfort consumers before the battery charge level drops below the value required to start the engine. The sensor is connected to the cab sensor and actuator module (SCA) via the battery sensor LIN. The module evaluates the signals and determines the minimum battery charge level required for starting. Before the minimum battery charge level is dropped below, the cab sensor and actuator module (SCA) shuts off the heater blower and radio via the cab CAN. If this measure is not sufficiently effective (the battery charge level drops even further), two warnings are issued on the multifunction display. The first warning stage prompts the driver to shut off further consumers. A brief warning tone sounds and a visual warning is issued on the multifunction display. For the second warning stage, 3 brief warning tones sound and the driver is prompted to start the engine. The limits of the consumer shutoff function can be parameterized. The charge level of the battery can be displayed on the monitoring info menu of the multifunction display.

Halogen headlamps
The new Actros is equipped with halogen headlamps as standard. The halogen headlamps feature 4-reflector technology and incorporate the functions of the high beams, low beams, daytime running lights and turn signal lamps, each with their own free-form reflectors; the standing lights are integrated in the low beams. On vehicles equipped with the LED daytime running lights special equipment option, the daytime running lights integrated in the halogen headlamps are omitted. The daytime running lights (L1B) can be integrated in the halogen headlamps upon request or as standard in countries with corresponding legislation (as of August 2012 daytime running lights are compulsory on all new commercial vehicle models as per ECE-R 48). The additional H21 W bulb comes on as soon as the engine is started, but not if the low beams are switched on. In order to help increase the service life of this light source, the cab sensor and actuator module (SCA) reduces the supply voltage by means of pulse width modulation (PWM) to 23.8 V. The same electronics filter out any voltage peaks which occur and increase the service life of the light sources (H7 for low beams, H1 for high beams, PY21 W for turn signals). Instead of the pressed glass lens used previously, a plastic lens is used on the halogen headlamps. This is coated with a paint system which, on the one hand, has a high resistance to UV radiation and, on the other hand, is scratch-resistant. The advantages of the plastic lens are its resistance to stone chipping and its lower mass compared to glass.
Bi-xenon headlamps (L1A)
A bi-xenon variant is available for all vehicles with rear axle air suspension as special equipment. A headlamp cleaning system (L3Z) is always required in combination with the bi-xenon headlamps.
Front fog lamps, halogen (L1H, standard with Giga roof cab (F1J))
The front fog lamps are located underneath the main headlamps. The covering lens is made of hardened pressed glass and is bonded to the housing. The light source used (H11) ensures an optimally aligned glow coil at the focal point of the reflector.
Front fog lamps, LED daytime running lights, cornering lights (L1N)
A specially designed reflector ensures that both the fog lamp requirements (both lamps switched on) and the low beam requirements (left or right-hand lamp switched on) can be met. The low beams are controlled via the cab sensor and actuator module (SCA).

The drive electronics, which incorporate a constantcurrent supply, reverse polarity protection, overvoltage protection and an EMC circuit, are integrated in each lamp. The constant-current supply ensures uniform light output in the event of voltage fluctuations. An aluminium heat sink leading outside the vehicle is used to cool the LEDs. This special cooling system is necessary to control the temperature balance and thus achieve the required service life of approx. 30,000 h. If LED daytime running lights are installed, the daytime running light function in the halogen headlamps is omitted.

Function
The lighting equipment for the exterior lights is actuated and monitored by the cab sensor and actuator module (SCA) and the frame sensor and actuator module (SCH). Cab sensor and actuator module (SCA) The cab sensor and actuator module (SCA) contains the switching logic for the lighting equipment at the front end of the vehicle as well as controlling and monitoring the trailer lighting and generating the flashing frequency of the turn signal system. The following lighting equipment is connected to the cab sensor and actuator module (SCA): • • • • • • • • Left turn signal lamp and side marker lamp Right turn signal lamp and side marker lamp Left headlamp Right headlamp Left front clearance lamp Right front clearance lamp Left front fog lamp and daytime running lamp Right front fog lamp and daytime running lamp Frame sensor and actuator module (SCH) The frame sensor and actuator module (SCH) actuates and monitors the lighting equipment at the rear of the vehicle. This includes: • • • • Left rear lamp unit Right rear lamp unit Left side marker lamp 1 Right side marker lamp 1
Emergency operation concept Supply with terminal 30 The frame sensor and actuator module (SCH) is equipped with 2 power supply lines. If one of these lines fails, some of the lighting equipment will remain functional. Supply with terminal 31 There is no redundant supply with terminal 31. The terminal 31 supply line is however monitored and open circuits are detected. CAN redundancy The SCA/SCH redundancy LIN provides CAN redundancy between the cab sensor and actuator module (SCA) and the frame sensor and actuator module (SCH).
On vehicles with illuminated Mercedes star (F0T), the illumination of the Mercedes star is also actuated and monitored and on vehicles with lower work lamps (L3A) or work lamps at the top of the cab rear panel (L3C) the swiveling work lamps are actuated and monitored.

Rear lamps
The 6-chamber rear lamps have been redesigned. They are also available in an LED version as special equipment (L1P). Instead of the usual bulbs, the rear lamps are then equipped with energy-saving and long-life LEDs for the turn signal, brake light, position lamp and taillight functions. In addition to their long service life, the use of LEDs also provides a further safety advantage due to the quicker response of the brake lights. The rear fog lamp and backup lamp functions are each performed by a 21 W bulb and the license plate lamp takes the form of a 10 W bulb. Backup warning system An acoustic backup warning system integrated in the rear lamps is available for all rear lamps and in two variants. The standard version (E6Z) can be switched off via a switch on the instrument panel. The backup warning system is combined with the hazard warning system (E6Y) especially for the law in Austria. When this version is switched off, only the hazard warning system flashes when reverse gear is engaged. On both versions, the sound level can be reduced from approx. 73 dB (A) to approx. 55 dB (A) by engaging reverse gear twice within 7 seconds.

Ambient illumination ("Follow-Me-Home" illumination)
Ambient illumination forms part of the basic scope of all vehicles. After the doors are opened or shut, the headlamps and the interior lights remain on for a certain period of time. The desired period of time can be set on the instrument cluster in 15 s steps. The function is activated by unlocking the vehicle (e.g. using the radio remote control) or by opening the doors. In combination with the rain and light sensor (F8X) (RLS), the light only switches on if the RLS detects darkness. The lighting equipment which can be selected for this function in the instrument cluster includes: • • • • Marker lamps Fog lamps Low beams Daytime running lights
Clearance lamp
The LED clearance lamp installed as standard contains 4 LEDs. Due to the use of a current control system, the light output remains constant in the event of voltage fluctuations. The light geometry has been designed to allow installation on 4 different roof variants and 2 sun visor variants.

Active Brake Assist 2
Active Brake Assist 2 (ABA) (S1C) monitors the traffic situation ahead of the vehicle by using data from the vehicle and by determining distances to the vehicle ahead and its speed. The system can only monitor vehicles in the same lane or stationary objects which are straight ahead, but not oncoming vehicles. If the system detects a danger of a rearend collision, the driver is informed of the danger by a three-stage warning system. 1st warning phase Visual (red) warning on instrument cluster and acoustic warning in the form of an intermittent warning tone, radio is muted. 2nd warning phase A gentle brake intervention is carried out in addition to the visual and acoustic warning (deceleration of approx. 3 m/s2) 3rd warning phase Emergency braking is automatically triggered (only if obstacles are still traveling) Until the emergency brake application actually occurs, it can be aborted as follows by driver intervention: • • • • • Actuation of right multifunction control lever Actuation of brake pedal Actuation of accelerator pedal Actuation of steering wheel Actuation of Active Brake Assist button i Note Emergency braking is always carried out with the maximum brake pressure and does not adjust automatically to the weather and road conditions. After the emergency brake application, the vehicle is held by the brake automatically for a maximum of 5 s. ABA can be shut off manually at any time. The status "ABA deactivated" is shown by an indicator lamp on the instrument cluster. The visual warning on the instrument cluster remains active even when the system is switched off. When emergency braking is triggered, the hazard warning flasher is also actuated simultaneously with an increased flashing frequency in order to draw the attention of the road users behind the vehicle to the danger. After the emergency brake application, the flashing frequency is reduced to normal.
i Note Only the 1st and 2nd warning stages are triggered for stationary obstacles, but emergency braking is not triggered.
Once emergency braking has been triggered, it can only be aborted by pressing the Active Brake Assist button or by depressing the accelerator pedal to the kickdown position.

A front radar sensor is installed in the front bumper for the ABA and Proximity Control Assist functions. In the new Actros, a 3rd generation sensor manufactured by Continental is used. Although the size of the housing is smaller compared to the predecessor model, this front radar sensor has a larger sensing range. It has the following additional advantages: • The front radar sensor is self-calibrating, which eliminates the need for complex calibration at the plant • In future, ABA and Proximity Control Assist will also be available on steel-sprung vehicles • Improved short-range scanning • More powerful electronics, allowing the system to also detect stationary obstacles
Self-calibration also takes place during driving operation (vehicle speed v > 30 km/h). If the sensor cannot adjust itself within the required tolerances, a fault message is shown on the multifunction display. Technical data: Connection: 8-pin connector (watertight) Frequency range: 76 to 77 GHz Short range coverage: 56°, range 0.25 to 50 m Long range coverage: 18°, range 0 to 200 m

Stability control assistant
The Electronic Stability Program (ESP®) is available in the form of the stability control assistant (S1D). In critical driving situations, e.g. sudden evasive maneuvers or high cornering speeds, it prevents the vehicle from skidding, jackknifing or rolling over. It operates irrespective of the load condition or road surface condition. For vehicles with initial registration as of 11/2011, the Electronic Stability Program (ESP®) must be installed as standard in ECE countries. The stability control assistant is now available for all 2 and 3-axle vehicles (except all-wheel drive vehicles). In the case of vehicles which do not require stability control due to aftermarket modifications or registration in a non-ECE country, it can be omitted with code (S9Z). The Electronic Stability Program (ESP®) control unit contains a lateral acceleration sensor and a yaw rate sensor. In addition, the desired driving direction of the driver is detected via a steering wheel angle sensor. Together with signals from the wheel speed sensors, the control unit can detect deviations of the vehicle from its intended path. In a critical driving situation, the following automatic control interventions stabilize the vehicle: • Reduction in engine torque • Selective braking of individual wheels on tractor vehicle • Selective actuation of semitrailer/trailer brake system • Braking of entire tractor/trailer combination The stability control assistant is only active during driving operation and at a vehicle speed of v > 10 km/h. It does not operate with reverse gear engaged.

General
The Lane Keeping Assist system (S1H) is available for all vehicles as special equipment and will also eventually become compulsory on new vehicles. As of November 2013, the active safety system will become a legal requirement on all new vehicle models (passenger cars and commercial vehicles) which are registered in the European Union. This will apply to all new vehicles as of November 2015.
Due to the following optimizations of the Lane Keeping Assist system, it is expected that the system will enjoy significantly greater acceptance from drivers: • An improved camera and modified algorithm produce significantly fewer incorrect warnings • By separating the camera and the electronics, the housing of the camera, which also houses the rain and light sensor, has been made significantly smaller and thus restricts the view out of the windshield less. • The system indicator in the lower left area of the multifunction display is displayed permanently. The indicator differentiates between continuous and broken lines. • The system is able to detect ambiguous lane markings ("construction site detection") and then switches to a passive mode. This also applies to tight corners and narrow lanes. • The volume of the radio is reduced while the warning tone is output, but not completely muted as previously
Function
As of a speed of roughly 60 km/h, a digital camera behind the windshield records the vehicle position relative to the left-hand and right-hand lane markings. A powerful microcomputer continuously evaluates the images recorded. When the vehicle crosses over a lane marking, a warning signal (highfrequency rattling) from the corresponding lefthand or right-hand door speaker sounds for roughly 1.5 to 4 seconds. At the same time, the vehicle's lane deviation is indicated on the instrument cluster. The visual indication is also issued if acoustic warnings are suppressed due to driver activities, but not in passive mode. Lane Keeping Assist is a support system only and does not intervene actively in the driving situation. If the driver actuates the accelerator pedal, turn signal or brake, the warning signal is suppressed. As on the predecessor model, Lane Keeping Assist can be switched off via a button on the instrument panel. The status "deactivated" is indicated by the LED in the button.

Roll control assistant
The purpose of the roll control assistant (S1F) is to adjust the suspension damping selectively to the respective driving situation and is only available for air-sprung vehicles because the function is incorporated in the level control (CLCS) control unit. If the roll control system is requested, the full version of the level control (CLCS) control unit is always installed. On all air-sprung semitrailer tractors, the standard level control system (CLCS) can be extended to the roll control assistant. The functions of the roll control assistant are enabled for each axle via parameters. Up to four axles can be actuated. The control logic records the measured sensor signals e.g. vehicle speed, steering wheel angle, brake pressure and spring travel and uses these to determine the current load condition and current driving situation. Based on this information, it switches the shock absorbers between hard, safety-focussed tuning and soft, comfortable tuning. There are always two shock absorbers installed on each axle, each featuring an electrically actuated proportional damping valve. These are actuated steplessly on an axle-by-axle basis. On partially airsprung vehicles, shock absorbers with roll control are also installed on the steel-sprung front axle.

A tire pressure monitor (S1Y) which has been improved in key areas is available for all model designations. The system supports the driver by displaying the tire inflation pressure on the multifunction display. Correct tire inflation pressure increases the service life of the tires and lowers fuel consumption. Previously, the wireless tire pressure monitor was only available in combination with super single tires. The new tire pressure monitor, on the other hand, is available for almost all tire sizes and types and for vehicles with up to 4 axles. Furthermore, it is not necessary to manually teach-in the wheel sensors to their positions on the vehicle. The automatic position detection is based on evaluation of the strength of the signal reception and detection of rotation direction. Based on these variables, the signals from the wheel sensors can be assigned to their position on the vehicle. Due to detection of the rotation direction, this only takes place as of a speed of v > 7 km/h. There is a wheel sensor in each rim, which detects the tire temperature and tire inflation pressure. They are supplied with power by a lithium battery. The integrated high-frequency transmitters transmit a radio data telegram at a frequency of 433 MHz to the antenna, which in turn forwards it via the system's dedicated CAN bus to the tire pressure monitor (TPM) control unit in the cab. The radio data telegram contains the following information, for example: • • • • ID of wheel sensors Current tire inflation pressure in bar Current tire air temperature Charge level of lithium battery
The wheel sensors are installed inside each individual tire and are screwed to the rim with the valve, which identified by a colored ring. The intended service life of the battery is roughly 5 years. The current charge level of the battery of each individual wheel sensor is displayed in the tire pressure monitor menu. In addition, roughly 6 months before the battery becomes empty, the driver is prompted via the instrument cluster to also have the wheel sensors changed during the next tire change. Since the sensors are sealed for strength-related reasons, the entire wheel sensor is always replaced. The specified pressure is set at the plant based on the tire size, type and manufacturer for a temperature of 20 °C and can also be read out on the instrument cluster. If the tire size is changed, the specified pressure must also be re-parameterized with Star Diagnosis. Deviations of the tire inflation pressure from the specified pressure are detected by the tire pressure monitor. When the set limits are reached, a warning is issued via the multifunction display. Since the tire inflation pressure varies according to the temperature, the tire pressure monitor always performs automatic corrections of the warning thresholds at elevated temperatures.

Driving assistance systems
Proximity Control Assist
Autonomous intelligent cruise control (ART) is available in the form of Proximity Control Assist (S1I) for all vehicles in combination with Mercedes PowerShift 3. For the first time, Proximity Control Assist can also be installed on the new Actros without retarder. The most important new feature of Proximity Control Assist is, however, its ability to operate even at speeds of below 15 km/h. Using the front radar sensor installed in the bumper, Proximity Control Assist detects the vehicles in front and automatically maintains a set distance from them. It brakes automatically at maximum deceleration down to a complete standstill. However, Proximity Control Assist can only intervene for stationary vehicles which were previously detected as driving. Accordingly, the system cannot intervene for stationary objects such as stationary vehicles (end of traffic jam) or obstacles on the road. For safety reasons, the vehicle does not start off again automatically after being stationary for more than 2 seconds. Instead, this must be initiated by the driver either by depressing the accelerator pedal or by pressing the "RES" button on the right button group of the multifunction steering wheel. In terms of the control interventions of the system, it must be noted that for safety reasons brake interventions at speeds of between 15 – 90 km/h are limited to 2 m/s2, and at speeds of below 15 km/h to max. 3 m/s2. If the traffic situation requires greater deceleration, the driver is informed of this by a visual/acoustic distance warning so that the deceleration can be increased by operating the brake pedal if necessary. Without any vehicles in front, Proximity Control Assist is deactivated below 5 km/h. The desired distance to the vehicle in front can be adjusted in 5 steps (instead of 7 previously) from a minimum of 1.5 to a maximum of 3.6 seconds. After the ignition is switched off, the medium value is always preset which corresponds to a time distance of 2.2 seconds. At a speed of 80 km/h this corresponds to a distance from the vehicle in front of roughly 49 m. With the vehicle stationary, a minimum distance of 4 m is maintained. Proximity Control Assist only operates when the driver is seated in the driver seat. This is continuously checked by a seat occupied sensor. For this reason, Proximity Control Assist is currently only available in combination with the comfort driver suspension seat (D1C) or air-conditioned driver suspension seat (D1D). Fault messages from Proximity Control Assist are output via a yellow warning on the instrument cluster and a warning tone which is of a lower frequency than the messages from Active Brake Assist 2. If the cruise control functions are operated via the steering wheel buttons, incorrect operation is possible under certain circumstances e.g. several buttons are pressed simultaneously. A plausibility checking function in the drive control (CPC) control unit checks which operation makes sense. The "Off" button and the "RES" button always have priority in this case for safety reasons.

They feature sensor-assisted monitoring of the locking system and remote indication of the coupling status to provide additional comfort and safety when coupling or uncoupling a trailer and during driving operation. In the case of sensed fifth wheel couplings, it is still necessary to manually open the fifth wheel coupling when uncoupling a trailer but there is no need for visual inspection of the fifth wheel coupling after a trailer is successfully coupled because the coupling status is displayed on the instrument cluster. The fifth wheel coupling is monitored by three sensors: • The sensor for the locking status has a redundant design and incorporates 2 reed switches for reliable sensing of the locking process. • An inductive sensor monitors the position of the kingpin. • A third sensor (also inductive) indicates contact with the semi-trailer plate, thus making coupling easier.

Heating and climate control
The new Actros features an air-regulated heating, ventilation and climate control system. The temperature is not adjusted by means of a water regulating valve but by mixing cold and warm air with a blend air flap. This produces an immediate response and accurate adjustability. All of the components, except the manual heater, are networked with each other via CAN bus and diagnosis-capable. For the first time, an air vent which distributes the air indirectly and without draft within the cab by means of a diffuser function has also been used. The air distribution system of the heating, ventilation and climate control system includes: • A defroster duct with exhaust vents located at uniform intervals along the windshield • Four horizontally/vertically adjustable and closable air vents in the instrument panel. The right-hand driver air vent with diffuser function. • Targeted air feed to the side windows through multi-range air vents • Air vents for the driver footwell located on both sides and next to the steering column • Two air vents for the front passenger footwell

Auxiliary water heater, general information The auxiliary water heater (SA) is installed under the cab floor on the left-hand side and is insulated from vibrations. The auxiliary water heater can be operated via the operating unit for the heater/air conditioning or the auxiliary heater button in the vicinity of the lower bed. Auxiliary water heater, cab (D6M) The auxiliary water heater is exclusively intended for heating the heating circuit for the cab. The maximum heat output is 3.8 kW. Auxiliary water heater, cab and engine (D6N) The auxiliary water heater is intended for heating the heating circuit for the cab and engine. The maximum heat output is 9.1 kW. Residual heat utilization (D6I) The residual heat pump is installed under the cab on the driver side and is insulated from vibrations. On vehicles with code (D6G) Automatic air conditioning or code (D6N) Auxiliary water heater for cab and engine, the residual heat pump is installed as standard. Depending on the outside temperature and coolant temperature, the residual heat pump can be operated for up to 2 hours.
Stationary air conditioner (D6H) The design of the stationary air conditioner (SA) has been modified significantly and consists primarily of two assemblies: • Cold reservoir with stationary air conditioner solenoid valve and recirculation pump for refrigerant • Refrigeration unit with control unit, blower, heat exchanger, dust filter and air ducts The cold reservoir is installed underneath the cab on the left-hand side instead of the tool box. The refrigeration unit is attached to the rear panel of the cab. The two assemblies are connected by two flexible lines in which a water/glycol mixture circulates as refrigerant. The refrigerant is the same as the coolant used for the engine cooling system. The cold reservoir can be charged by the refrigerant compressor during driving operation.

New radio generation
The radio in the new Actros forms part of the Truck Control Center (TCC). It is integrated optimally and ergonomically into the dash support. In addition to the increased operating comfort, this also creates an important safety advantage: the driver's view is not distracted from the road as much when operating the radio. All radio units are supplied by Bosch and are equipped with a USB interface (standard on the long cabs). The radio including navigation system, which is fully integrated in the TCC, is an exciting new feature. The navigation information is displayed both on the 17.8 cm (7") color display and on the multifunction display.

Mini-USB connection
The mini-USB connection on the radio can be used to charge the battery of an additional device e.g. an MP3 player. The radio can be operated in different ways: • All functions can be controlled on the radio unit itself; the selected radio station or CD is displayed in plain text on the radio display • Only the "Volume +/-" and "Track/Station" functions can be operated via the "Radio" button on the cab rear panel • The functions "Switch on/off", "Source", "Volume +/-", "Mute" and "Track/Station" can be operated via the new multifunction key. • Depending on the radio unit, the following functions can be activated via the steering wheel buttons: - Volume +/- Change station/SCAN - Select CD/Track/Music Browser - Telephone control/phone book - Change source - Select CD track In the "Audio" menu item, the multifunction display shows plain text about the selected radio station or USB/CD activities. When operating via the steering wheel buttons, every change is displayed for easier navigation. Upon request, the radio can be omitted on vehicles where it is standard equipment with code (J9Y). If no radio is installed at the plant, no speakers and no wiring harness are supplied either. The antenna is routed into the DIN slot without wiring. On vehicles with 12 V radio preinstallation (J9F) for retrofitting, the connecting cable and the antenna lines are routed into the DIN slot in the TCC. The code includes the voltage converter 24 V/12 V, 10 A (E3A), but no wiring for the center speaker.
Speakers
The sound is output via two broadband speakers in the doors and a center speaker (J2I) in the stowage compartment above the windshield on vehicles with standard equipment. The center speaker is designed as a dual coil speaker. The first coil is used to play music, sound and voice from the radio while the second coil is used as a vehicle information source and performs the following acoustic functions irrespective of whether or not the radio is switched on: • Warning buzzer • Feedback after completion of gear-shift operations • Turn signal indicator sounds The second coil of the center speaker is actuated by the instrument cluster (not on vehicles with J1A because here there is a separate speaker), which receives the input signals and generates the different sounds in accordance with their priority.

The Sound system (J2J) provides an even better sound experience. Here, 2 additional broadband speakers in the bed area and an active subwoofer in the stowage box ensure optimal sound distribution within the cab.
Further communication features available as special equipment: CB radio Code (J9A): Preinstallation for retrofitting of CB radio, including voltage converter 24 V/12 V, 10 A (E3A) and antenna. Code (J2Z): The CB mobile radio system includes the 12 V voltage converter (18 A), a microphone and the CB radio antenna and represents a highquality, all-in-one ex factory solution for all vehicles.
Communications interface (COM) (E4A) The communications interface is a technical prerequisite for connecting and operating an on-board computer (e.g. FleetBoard®) via the CAN data bus of the vehicle. Vehicles with FleetBoard® packages (code J3A, J3C, J3D, J3E, J3J, J9C, J3M) are therefore equipped with (E4A) as standard. The communications interface, which allows an onboard computer to be connected to the vehicle, makes it possible for the dispatching office to remotely access vehicle data through digital data transfer e.g. for trip planning, transport capacity planning, maintenance scheduling etc. Previously integrated in the parameterizable special module (PSM) control unit, the communications interface now forms part of the central gateway (CGW) control unit.

Interface, fleet management system, FMS 2.0 (E4B) Code E4B contains a standardized telematics interface (COM), which is defined by fleet management system standard 2.0 (FMS standard 2.0). The interface converts the standardized CAN data into the standardized SAE J1939 format and forwards it to the respective fleet management system. The FMS standard was defined jointly by various European vehicle manufacturers (Daimler, DAF Trucks, IVECO, MAN, Scania and Volvo). As such, different fleet management systems can use and evaluate the vehicle data obtained from vehicles of the aforementioned manufacturers without problem and independently. Depending on the vehicle equipment, the following data can be accessed in FMS standard 2.0 (valid as of October 2010): • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Vehicle speed Accelerator pedal position Cruise control/clutch/power take-off status Brake light switch Total fuel consumption Fuel tank fill level Engine speed Axle load of individual axles Gross vehicle weight Total engine operating hours Vehicle identification number (VIN) Software identification number Total mileage of vehicle (km) Next maintenance service Tachograph information Engine coolant temperature FMS standard information Tachograph: speed, driver card, driver status, direction of travel, exceeding of speed limits
FMS standard 3.0 will be available as of October 2011 and contains further data. E4B Is only available in combination with the telematics preinstallation (J9B). The retrofit allows parallel operation i.e. an external telematics system can be connected to the FleetBoard® vehicle computer and it will find the FMS interface previously activated via FleetBoard® at the request of the customer. The FleetBoard® vehicle computer is delivered from the plant with the FMS interface deactivated as standard. The telematics preinstallation (J9B) contains a GSM/GPS antenna on the cab roof and wiring up to the DIN slot in the stowage compartment above the windshield. With the telematics preinstallation, an external navigation or telematics device can be subsequently retrofitted. The preinstallation for FleetBoard® (J9C) contains additional features compared to E4B and more information can be accessed than via the standardized telematics interface. It contains: • The mechanical/electrical preinstallation (antennas and lines for the FleetBoard components within the direct field of view/reach • CAN connection in accordance with ISO11898 • Exclusive access to all CAN and diagnostic data for FleetBoard® telematics

Antennas
Through the use of antenna splitters, one GSM/GPS antenna is sufficient to supply the navigation unit and FleetBoard®. Depending on the number of terminals installed, a double or triple splitter is used; these both have the same design and are installed in the same position.
Tachograph
The tachograph records driving times and rest periods for the driver and co-driver. It is available in modular or digital versions and in the following variants: Code (J1R): • Digital tachograph, EC, rpm, ADR Code (J1K): • Tachograph, 1 day + 2 driver, modular Code (J1P): • Tachograph, 1 day + 2 driver, up to 140 km/h (modular) The digital tachograph (J1R) is available from the suppliers VDO (J1S) or Stoneridge (J1T). A calibration system (G5Z) is required to put the modular tachograph into operation; this adjusts the speed and odometer readings to the vehiclespecific situation. It takes the tire size and rear axle ratio into account for this purpose. In the case of countries without regulations governing working times or vehicles which are not subject to monitoring of working times, the tachograph can also be omitted (code (J1Z) – Speedometer, omission of tachograph).
i Note There is no special calibration requirement for the tachograph (TCO). As of October 2011, the customer can enter the license plate number once in the TCO themselves without a workshop card or workshop tool.
