Detroit Assurance Key Features
Active Brake Assist 6 (ABA6)
Enhanced radar and camera system proactively stops or slows your truck for vehicles or pedestrians—even in curves or obstructed views.Side Guard Assist 2 (SGA2)
Detects cyclists and pedestrians next to the cab or trailer with visual and audible alerts—boosting awareness along both sides of the vehicle.Active Side Guard Assist (ASGA)
Builds on SGA2 by automatically braking (at speeds under 12 mph) if the driver doesn’t respond to a detected passenger-side hazard.Active Lane Assist 2 (ALA2)
Combines radar and camera data to keep the truck centered in its lane—even in crosswinds or after tire blowouts—and includes lane-change prevention and driver alertness alerts.Front Guard Alert (FGA)
At low speeds, short-range radar scans for pedestrians or bikes entering the truck’s front blind spots and alerts the driver immediately.
Why Choose Detroit Assurance?
Active Brake Assist 6 (ABA6)
The newest generation offers enhanced detection and response with five short- and long-range radar sensors, a new camera, and upgraded software. It improves reaction to vehicles and pedestrians—even in curves and offset scenarios—with features like multi-lane AEB and expanded object classification.Side Guard Assist 2 (SGA2) & Active Side Guard Assist (ASGA)
SGA2 helps detect vehicles, cyclists, and pedestrians along both sides—from cab to trailer—with audio-visual alerts. ASGA adds automatic braking (under 12 mph) when the driver doesn’t respond to passenger-side hazards—ideal for urban environments.Active Lane Assist 2 (ALA2)
Combines radar and camera inputs to keep trucks centered in their lanes—even when exposed to crosswinds, tire blowouts, or low-speed transitions. Includes lane keep, departure recovery, lane-change prevention, and driver alertness detection.Front Guard Alert (FGA)
At low speeds or when stopped, short-range radar scans the area in front and to the sides for pedestrians or bicycles entering the truck’s path, triggering visual and audible alerts.
What’s Standard with ABA5?
Active Brake Assist 5 (ABA5) – Uses always-on radar and cameras to monitor the road ahead, issuing warnings or automatic braking as needed.
Adaptive Cruise Control to 0 MPH – Maintains safe following distance in stop-and-go traffic—including full stops and seamless starts.
Tailgate Warning, Lane Departure Warning, Traffic Sign Display, Automatic Wipers/Headlamps, and Intelligent High Beams are also included to enhance comfort and safety.
ABA6 includes enhanced sensors and processing—allowing more precise detection of moving/stationary pedestrians and vehicles in complex environments like curves, multi-lane traffic, or offset targets.
While SGA2 warns drivers of hazards on the sides, ASGA actively applies brakes (when under 12 mph) if the driver doesn’t respond to a passenger-side alert—providing an extra safeguard in tight urban turns.
Yes—ALA2 keeps trucks centered in their lanes and helps correct drift. It also assists in crosswind, low-speed, or tire failure scenarios, and includes attentive driver protection.
Front Guard Alert activates when stopped or driving slowly—alerting drivers to nearby pedestrians or cyclists entering the truck’s path.
The ABA5 suite (including ACC, tailgate warning, auto lighting, and more) is standard. The advanced elements (ABA6, SGA2, ASGA, ALA2, and FGA) are part of the updated ABA6 package.
