Safety systems of the highest standard

The Setra benefits from a host of guardian angels which help to protect the vehicle, passengers and driver. The sensitive foot brake is designed to be powerful. Although the steering-column lever with integral gearshift is new, the way that the auxiliary brake is operated remains unchanged: braking power is delivered in stages while moving down so that the driver knows where they stand at all times.

What is more, the new ComfortClass is the only touring coach in its class to be equipped with all the safety systems currently available. Lane Assistant, Adaptive Cruise Control (ART) with stop assist system, Active Brake Assist which even supports emergency braking, Attention Assist which recommends that the driver takes a break if fatigue is detected – no other touring coach provides this level of support. Even though many of the safety systems will hopefully never be needed during a coach's long service life, it is reassuring to have them on-board and fascinating to hear what the new ComfortClass 500 has to offer.
