Safe, sound and connected.
The Crafter Cab Chassis is a workhorse, designed to put in long shifts. That’s why it boasts one of the most comprehensive suites of safety and driver assistance systems in its class, some of which are firsts for the sector. Add to that a huge array of connectivity options, and you’ve got everything you need to keep your business moving.
Front Assist with City Emergency Braking
Stay on the front foot.
Using a radar sensor, Front Assist detects a possible collision with the vehicle in front. It will warn you and prepare the car for braking. If nothing changes, it applies the braking giving you a better chance of avoiding or minimising a collision. When you’re travelling below 30km/h, City Emergency Braking will prepare the braking if a collision is likely. If the driver doesn’t brake, the system will do it automatically.
Driver Fatigue Detection1
A welcome wake-up call.
Exclusive to the Crafter range, this potentially life-saving system continually evaluates steering movements and other independent signals, and if fatigue is detected, warns the driver with an alarm, and recommends the driver take a break on the Multi-Function display.
1Safety technologies are designed to assist the driver, but should not be used as a substitute for safe driving practices.
Multi-Collision Brake1
Lessen the chance of follow-on collisions.
Another feature exclusive to the Crafter, this state-of-the-art system uses two independent sensors to detect a collision, and applies the braking to slow down the vehicle, so that a secondary impact will be lessened or avoided. During braking, the hazard and braking lights are illuminated and remain activated. The driver can take over at any time.

Hill Hold Assist1
It’s all uphill from here, in a good way.
Another feature exclusive to the Crafter, this state-of-the-art system uses two independent sensors to detect a collision, and applies the braking to slow down the vehicle, so that a secondary impact will be lessened or avoided. During braking, the hazard and braking lights are illuminated and remain activated. The driver can take over at any time.
1Safety technologies are designed to assist the driver, but should not be used as a substitute for safe driving practices.
Airbags1
The best possible protection.
The Crafter Cab Chassis now features front side and curtain airbags for the driver and front passenger, giving you the optimal protection in the event of head-on or side impacts.
1Safety technologies are designed to assist the driver, but should not be used as a substitute for safe driving practices.
Electronic Differential Lock1
Never lose control around corners.
When cornering, this valuable safety system responds to the load relief at the front wheel on the inside of a corner, which improves traction and reduces the tendency to understeer.
1Safety technologies are designed to assist the driver, but should not be used as a substitute for safe driving practices.
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)1
Cruise on through.
The optional Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) system lets you set the speed you want to travel and the gap you want to allow between you and the car in front. Using a radar sensor, the car then maintains your speed and your distance. In doing so it makes life easier for the driver, particularly on long journeys, and reduces the risk of exceeding the speed limit. Forms part of the optional Driver Assistance Package 'Chassis'.
1Safety technologies are designed to assist the driver, but should not be used as a substitute for safe driving practices.
Lane Assist1
Stay on track.
Using a camera to monitor the markings on the road ahead, the optional Lane Assist helps keep you safe by working to prevent you leaving your lane unintentionally. If you start to leave your lane without indicating the system takes corrective steering action. If you still don’t respond a message will appear in the Multi-Function Display in conjunction with a warning tone. Forms part of the optional Driver Assistance Package 'Chassis'.
