SAFETY FIRST,
EVERY TIME.
MAN has the right cab for every need – and maximum
safety, comfort and ergonomics travel with you wherever
you go. Our cabs are designed for fatigue-free, focussed
driving, relaxing breaks and maximum passenger
­protection. All of the cabs offer optimum safety thanks to a
range of features, including the mirror system comprising
main and wide-angle mirror, large kerb mirror and front
mirror. Or the innovative MAN OptiView digital mirror-
replacement system which provides the driver with the
optimal overview of the traffic situation. A heated wind-
screen ensures an unobstructed view even at the
coldest times of the year.

Aerodynamically optimised sun visor for MAN GX and

GM cabs
The design sun visor in dark grey adds a touch of
class to the front of the GX and GM cabs. It prevents the
driver from being dazzled when the sun is at a steep
angle. The design has been optimised for aerodynamics,
resulting in better airflow around the A-pillar at the roof
and preventing separation of the air stream which is
unfavourable for fuel consumption. This improvement of
the drag coefficient (cd value) reduces fuel consumption.

Distance warning system
The distance warning system helps to maintain the re-
quired, generous safety distance to the next vehicle. After
an acoustic or visual warning, the driver can correct the
distance so that more reaction time remains for unforeseen
situations.

MAN AttentionGuard
MAN AttentionGuard is an attention assistant based on
the principle of lane monitoring. Within the limits of the
system, starting at a speed of approx. 60 km/h it detects
reduced driver alertness in good time. A visual as well
as acoustic warning supports the driver in refocusing
their concentration on the road – thus we help reduce a
possible accident due to lane departure. Compared with
the previous version, the enhanced MAN AttentionGuard
continuously evaluates the driver’s directional accuracy,
steering interventions and other parameters. The uniformly
specified, scientifically recognised rating scale (Karolinska
Sleepiness Scale, KSS) is used to calculate and estimate
the driver fatigue level. The driver is warned when a specific
stage on this rating scale has been reached.

AERODYNAMICS.
The better the headwind flows around a vehicle, the less
fuel is required for driving. In line with the design of the
MAN Trucks, gap widths between the cab and semi-
trailer are therefore reduced and the formation of
turbulence is suppressed for optimum aerodynamics.

The reversible extensions on the side flaps and roof

spoiler reduce the free space between the cab and the
semitrailer. This achieves a particularly effective aero-
dynamic airflow around the entire vehicle – even in cross
winds. The aerodynamically optimised A-pillar cladding
has a specially shaped attachment made of flexible
plastic, which improves airflow around the A-pillar and
thus – due to lower eddies – reduces drag. Vehicles
with the MAN OptiView mirror replacement system
benefit to a greater extent from the new aerodynamically
optimised A-pillar cladding and the calm airflow in this
area. The door gap closing element is a highly flexible
plastic element attached to the door extensions, which
closes the vertical gap between the front edge of
the door extension and the bumper. This further
optimises the aerodynamic flow around this area.
