Overall vehicle Innovations New design of exterior/interior • Hood • Roof-mounted wiper system • Headlamps • Aluminium rims (optional, code R2T) • Multifunction steering wheel • CD radio with Bluetooth® hands-free system • Instrument cluster • Controls • Center console • Higher output heating/cooling system with improved air distribution Further changes and improvements • Electrical interface EN 16330 for demountable imple- ments in preparation => code ES6 • Parameterizable special module (PSM) as standard • Combinations of 0 to 2 trailers are possible without spe- cial measures for turn signal failure detection. • Front camera with monitor (available optionally with code EM3).
This improves visibility of the road surface and im- plements. Up to three additional cameras can be connec- ted via a connecting point in the cab. • 160 kW instead of 150 kW will now be available at the front power take-off (limitation of engine torque to 850 Nm instead of 800 Nm previously) • Increase in permissible load values, particularly on model series U318 to up to 11000 kg and on U400 to up to 14000 kg • Due to the optimized frame concept, front skids are not required for assembly frames for heavy bodies (e.g. crane). This makes the frames shorter, simpler, lighter and more cost-effective. It also simplifies assembly.
4-channel ABS If a wheel is tending towards locking up, the pressure in the wheel cylinder is corrected depending on the road surface condition and load condition. This ensures safe handling characteristics during braking. Driving stability and steerabi- lity are maintained in the process, which reduces the risk of accident. The ABS can be switched to off-road mode, which allows the wheels to lock up to a certain extent in order to build up a wedge of earth. The ABS off-road program must be deactiva- ted on public roads and firm ground. The 4-channel ABS system is installed on all model desig- nations and has been tested on mass-produced models.
It provides a high level of safety through separate actuation of each wheel on the front and rear axle. 12 Introduction of the New Unimog Generation | Model Series 405 – This printout will not be recorded by the update service. Status: 03 / 2013 –
