When the assistance system detects that the driver has activated the indicator and thus intends to change lane despite the warning, he receives an additional warning in the form of an acoustic signal and the red warning symbol begins to flash. If the van threatens to cross the side marking without the indicator having been activated or without parallel changes to the accelerator or brake pedal position, the control unit will conclude that the vehicle is leaving its lane unintentionally and will warn the driver with an acoustic signal. Conversely, intervention will be stopped if the driver carries out an evasive maneuver, takes his foot off the brake pedal or presses the accelerator pedal. Customers know that Mercedes Benz has a reputation to uphold and that the company will go out of its way to make sure every customer remains satisfied. I am going to require some more pics of this build out. The path of the road, pedestrians or dangerous spots are now recognizable even earlier and more reliably.
High levels of ride comfort and low background noise combine with effective heating and ventilation to make even the longest trips a pleasure. With the optional air suspension in its Comfort setting, the ride is creamy, and the E-class is perfect for gobbling up lots of road. A camera behind the windscreen films the road ahead. Bi-xenon headlamps, fog lights, a headlamp cleaning system and a heated windscreen provide for a further improvement of visibility. The best possible visibility is crucial to safe driving. The idea of this E92 M3 going away then, magnified by the loss of the M3 badge for the coupe, is at best bittersweet for me. Camper Kong feel that this is one of the best conversions available as the vehicle is a nice size to convert and is large enough to make even the fussy happy. Although strictly considered a work van used for package delivery, building trades and other commercial ventures in much of the world, the Sprinter has become popular for recreational and surf van conversions in the U.S. As of model year 2015, the Sprinter now has extended service intervals up to 20,000 miles (MY2014 extended service intervals were up to 15,000 miles), which is another major TCO enhancement.
All models are rear-wheel drive and there are a number of different axle combinations depending upon the model. The Mercedes Sprinter has a gross vehicle weight that varies from 2.8 tonnes to 4.6 tonnes and in addition to panel vans with three load lengths and roof heights, there are numerous chassis-cabs, crew-cabs and minibuses. Each upfitter also receives special programming of the electronics system that is tailored to the customer’s need and vehicle functionality. Two days spent in icy-cold Arjeplog behind the wheel of the Citan, putting materials and vehicle to the test. Two diesel engines and a host of body, weight and rear axle variants add up to several hundred variants. However, there's still something new in this scheme: power will be sent to the rear wheels with the help of the new AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT gearbox. These are installed on the right and left behind the side rub strips in the area of the B-pillar and the rear corner pillar and cover the area of the neighboring lanes.
A height-adjustable three-point seat belt with belt tensioner and belt force limiter, twoway head restraints and also front airbags are there to keep the driver safe. With the couch and the passenger swivel seat, my van can comfortably seat 4-5 people. The seat position is well chosen in relation to the steering wheel, pedals and the cockpit as a whole. Precision steering and a comparatively small turning circle round-off the range of features for maximum safety and relaxed driving. Fulltiming in a van camper would be a challenge as the small space will wear on you over time. So I believe Hyper Bear will continue to be a good star power and will be used in balance with Bear With Me, what do you think? Linked to a smooth-shifting 5-speed automatic transmission with manual shift mode, the 3.0-liter turbo diesel powerplant puts out 188 HP and 325 lb-ft of torque across a broad rpm range, giving you ample pulling power when the light turns green… Out the front, at least. To become a Preferred Upfitter, several Sprinter engineering specialists review each upfitter’s plans, visit their facility while work is in progress and inspect finished vans.
