At first glance and close up – the four cabs of the Atego show what counts in light-duty distribution haulage: three cockpit variants, well thought-out ergonomics, a high standard of driving comfort and convenience as well as a wealth of practical details.

The Atego provides you with a wide range of practical and comfort-enhancing functions. The line-up includes convenient brief turn signals, for example, a warning tone for parking brake and lights, cruise control operation using the buttons on the multifunction steering wheel and "follow me home" lights.

Cockpit variants.
The different cockpit variants for the Atego are also tailored closely to operational needs. All three are notable for the ergonomic layout of all the controls and a practical array of stowage facilities.
Classic Cockpit.
Everything is arranged ergonomically and within the driver's reach. Soft surfaces conjure up a high-class setting. The Mercedes PowerShift 3 automated transmission, for example, is controlled conveniently by means of the right-hand steering-column lever. In the case of the manually shifted Atego, the shift lever is integrated in the instrument support. The equipment includes an ashtray (movable ashtray in vehicles with manual transmission) as well as a cigarette lighter which can also be used as power socket. Additional power sockets for the centre module are available as special equipment.
Comfort cockpit.
With its projecting stowage unit below the instrument support, this optionally available cockpit offers additional stowage space to complement the already generous array of stowage facilities. This means that there is a place to stow everything, even on the longest trips. All the controls are arranged ergonomically within comfortable reach of the driver. Soft surfaces conjure up a high-class setting. An environment like this simply makes working and driving more enjoyable.
Standard cockpit.
From the cupholder within reach of the driver to the power socket: everything in the standard cab is designed to make the job of the driver in the distribution sector easier and more pleasant.
Workplace Atego.
The workplace in the Atego provides a relaxed work environment conducive to good concentration. This is the result of a number of factors: from the comfortable seats to the multifunction steering wheel and on-board computer with integrated departure check to the ergonomic layout of all the stowage facilities and controls.
Multifunction steering wheel.
With eight control buttons on both the right and left, it is possible to control many functions. For example, telephone calls can be answered and radio settings can be adjusted.
12.7 cm instrument cluster with video function.
For even greater convenience and safety, this instrument cluster is prepared for use with a reversing camera51. This allows the driver to see the area behind the vehicle.
Radios.
For great entertainment the Atego can optionally be equipped with a CD radio, a CD radio with Bluetooth® connection or the Bluetooth® Comfort§CD radio. All radios feature a USB and Aux/In port.
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 200 mm, for height up to 100 mm.
Driver's suspension seat, standard.
The air-sprung seat boasts a high standard of seated comfort, diverse adjustment options and a flat-weave fabric cover.
Climatised suspension seat.
The optionally available air-sprung, climatised driver's suspension seat provides pleasant seating conditions and a high level of comfort. The integral armrests and the seat heating also contribute to this.
Gearshift.
Mercedes PowerShift 3.
A tangible dynamic response, simple handling and low fuel consumption: The automated transmission ensures precise gear selection, short shift times, high driving comfort and a very high level of economic efficiency.
Manual gearshift.
In addition to the automated transmission, a manual transmission with pneumatic power-assisted gear shifting is optionally available. It features outstanding ergonomics and extremely precise shifting while requiring only a low shift force.
Pre-installation for multimedia use.
A universal pre-installation for the easy integration of mobile phones, MP3 players or standard navigation systems is optionally available. Voice output is via the vehicle's loudspeakers.
Stowage facilities.
The stowage concept meets the most diverse requirements, making it easier to keep the cab tidy and so maintain a high level of organisation and efficiency. From the large stowage compartment on the dash support to the stowage facilities in the cockpit, on the engine tunnel and in the door panelling – everything is tailored ideally to the items that need to be stowed away.
Stowage compartments - ClassicSpace L-cab.
In addition to the stowage facilities in the cockpit, in the doors and on the engine tunnel, in the ClassicSpace L-cab the stowage compartments above the windscreen and under the bed offer additional stowage space, for example.
Stowage facility above windscreen, 2 compartments.
The two compartments are situated above the windscreen and can be reached easily from the driver's and co-driver's seat. In conjunction with the optional FleetBoard system, the compartment closest to the driver is occupied.
Resting and sleeping comfort.
The Atego features various comfortable beds, depending on the selected cab. In addition to the standard bottom bed that is fitted in all L-cabs as standard, for the BigSpace L-cab the top comfort bed is optionally available with a width of 685 mm, a length of 1865 mm and a high-quality 7-zone cold foam mattress.
In the extended S-cab the optional bottom bed with a width of 610 mm provides for a high standard of resting and sleeping comfort. And the optionally available flexible seat/bunk combination can be configured either as a sleeping berth or as seating for up to four people.
Mattresses.
Restful sleep is assured by the high-quality 7-zone cold-foam comfort mattress. This one-piece sprung-base mattress, 110 mm thick, provides individual support for the different parts of the body while also ensuring efficient ventilation.
