Active safety to prevent accidents takes centre stage in the three-pointed star busses and coaches and these include:
- the Anti-lock Braking System in 1981
- the Electropneumatic Braking System in 1997
- the Adaptive Cruise Control
- the Electronic Stability Programme
- the Lane Assist
- the Continuous Braking Limiter
- the Active Brake Assist
The Mercedes‑Benz Tourismo represents continuous safety innovation. Within an already generous safety specification, key highlights include Active Brake Assist 4 (ABA 4) with pedestrian detection, standard fitment as of 2021, and optional Sideguard Assist turning warning system.
