Numerous connection options for mobile devices further enhance ergonomics and ease of operation.

Keyless Start.
Like the new vehicle, the key not only looks good, but optimizes driver convenience. In order for the truck to start using the start-stop button, it is sufficient for the key to be in the vehicle – it doesn’t need to be placed in any exact location – which means it can remain in the driver’s jacket or trouser pocket while on the move.
Convenient central locking system.
This optionally available locking system enables user friendliness in conjunction with the new key. In addition to the mandatory light check, the convenient central locking system also allows separate locking and unlocking of the driver’s and passenger’s door. The simple handling functions also include closing of the side windows and the sliding/tilting roof at the push of a button.
Parking brake, electronic with hold function.
The new electronic parking brake with HOLD function combines simple handling and a high level of safety.
The electronic parking brake is automatically released when driving off in transmission position "D" or "R" and automatically engaged when the engine is switched off. The integrated HOLD function is activated when the vehicle is stationary – at a red light, for example – simply by depressing the brake pedal with greater force. The function is released when the accelerator pedal is depressed again. An additional function is that the parking brake is now automatically engaged if the engine is running, a door is open and the vehicle speed is 0 km/h. With the door open, it is possible for the driver to manually disengage the automatically engaged parking brake, e.g. for manoeuvring in reverse.
Heating and air-conditioning system.
The heating and air-conditioning system in the Arocs is characterised by its quick response and facilitates draught-free ventilation.
Optionally available automatic climate control automatically adjusts the air flow pressure, distribution and temperature in line with the ambient conditions and offers additional comfort and convenience functions. Once the engine has been switched off, the cab can be heated by the residual heat of the engine coolant for up to another two hours.

Convenience telephony, wireless charging.
In conjunction with the Multimedia Cockpits, the Arocs can optionally be equipped with Convenience Telephony and an inductive charging tray on the dash support, which can be used for the wireless charging of smartphones corresponding to the Qi standard.
StyleLine.
The StyleLine option lends the interior a stylish, modern character with aluminium-look trim.
Along with the chrome strip and the lettering on the instrument panel plus the StyleLine badge on the exterior storage compartment, the individual character is also underscored by aluminium applications on the steering wheel, the column stalks and the parking brake. The chrome surrounds of the instrument cluster and the secondary Multi-Touch Display add further brilliant highlights. High-quality velour carpet inserts for driver, passenger and in the middle round off the individual character in style.
New interior light concept.
The new interior light concept provides excellent illumination of the cab. In addition to the interior light to illuminate the entire cab and two reading lights, it also comprises a subtle blue night light to help the driver find their way around the cab.
LED ambient lighting.
The new optionally available LED ambient lighting enhances driving comfort, living comfort and ergonomics with a variety of functions.
The dimmable blue LEDs help the driver to find their way around the cab while parked up at night time, for example. The indirect, dimmable background light in amber provides a comfortable atmosphere when the day’s work is done and during overnight stays on board. The LED ambient lighting also includes a light alarm clock as an added comfort feature. In addition, the radio or other audio sources can also be activated for the planned wake-up time.
Seats.
All the seats impress with a high level of comfort. The controls are arranged intuitively, the seat cushions are particularly wide and the adjustment range particularly large: lengthwise up to 250 mm, for height up to 120 mm.
The standard driver's suspension seat represents the basic seating option for the Arocs. The air-sprung seat boasts a high standard of seated comfort, diverse adjustment options and a flat-weave fabric cover. The comfort suspension seat and the climatised suspension seat are available for even greater comfort.
Storage facilities.
The individually extendable storage system enables a more orderly interior, greater efficiency and simple handling in construction transport.
