SAFETY
Safety and technology as advanced as its design.
From anticipating traffic slowdowns to protecting blind spots to keeping trucks in their lanes, Detroit Assurance® Suite of Safety Systems has the technology to help improve safety and uptime.
The 57X comes equipped with the entire Detroit Assurance® Suite of Safety Systems, the most advanced safety technology in the industry. The suite features a number of safety-improving technologies, which you can learn more about right here.
Detroit Assurance
Active Brake Assist 5 detects distance and speed to moving and stationary objects in its path and determines if braking is necessary. It’s the only system on the market that works down to 5 MPH*, making it ideal for travel in congested urban areas. It also recognizes pedestrians who are about to cross in the truck’s path, alerting the operator while partially braking, followed by full braking if the operator does not react.
*with Detroit® DT12® transmission
Detroit Assurance technology enables state-of-the-art features such as Adaptive Cruise Control to 0 MPH to ease driving in stop-and-go traffic, as well as help mitigate front and rear collisions.
Whether stopped in heavy traffic or for any other reason, this state-of-the-art feature can keep a truck* stopped when the driver removes their foot from the brake. Brake Hold Mode can be engaged by pressing the brake pedal all the way down. It automatically disengages when the driver accelerates.
*with DT12 Transmission
Lane Keep Assist reads and tracks lane markers to help drivers keep their trucks centered in their lane.
This safety feature detects when a truck drifts out of its lane and then actively steers it back on course.
A game changer for safety, Side Guard Assist detects objects on the passenger side of the truck and alerts the operator.
This industry leading technology detects and actively prevents the truck from making a right turn into moving cyclists and pedestrians in urban situations.
