The ComfortClass 500.<br />
Whatever your plans.
Our passion for perfection.<br />
As Otto Kässbohrer, the progressive thinker and pioneer in coach design, invented<br />
the self-supporting coach body over 60 years ago, an idea was born which would<br />
forever change the world of coaches and buses. Today, Setra still has a decisive<br />
influence on the image of high-quality coach travel. After all, Setra coaches are<br />
already perfectly matched to tomorrow’s requirements.<br />
Then as now, we are driven by a passion for creating something greater. For us,<br />
it goes beyond developing technically excellent buses and coaches. Above all,<br />
it is about meeting the needs of passengers, drivers and operators. This is what<br />
drives us.<br />
The ComfortClass embodies a highly versatile coach concept that ideally meets the<br />
high requirements for cost-effectiveness, safety and flexibility. The ComfortClass<br />
stands out with its exceptionally wide variety of models. It enables operators to<br />
bring to life almost any business model. And its outstanding comfort makes the<br />
journey a memorable experience not only for travellers, but also for the driver.<br />

The ComfortClass 500.<br />
Open for all your plans.<br />
Whether a round trip, a city tour or long-distance travel: no two trips are identical.<br />
In the ComfortClass 500, with its wide variety of models and equipment variants<br />
in different lengths, heights and door positions, you will always find exactly the<br />
coach that best fits your travel concepts.<br />
The ComfortClass is also well-versed to handling the growing needs and wishes of<br />
your passengers. And in the cockpit, your driver will feel wonderfully comfortable,<br />
thanks to outstanding ergonomics.<br />
Cost-effectiveness, ecology and performance all come together harmoniously in<br />
the ComfortClass. With underlying technology that suits today’s high demands as<br />
masterfully as its aerodynamic design and high safety standard.<br />
Welcome to the ComfortClass 500.<br />

The HD models.<br />
Invitingly spacious and comfortable.<br />
The high-decker coaches are perfect if you’re travelling with discerning<br />
passengers on extended trips with a lot of luggage.<br />
The range’s spectrum extends from the compact and very agile S 511 HD, all the<br />
way through to the S 519 HD. The latter is the right choice if you are traveling<br />
with many passengers. As the longest coach in the ComfortClass, it is also ideal<br />
for long-distance line services. The S 511 HD is the ideal club touring coach for<br />
quality trips with a limited number of passengers, for VIP shuttle applications, or even<br />
for use on cycling tours with a trailer.<br />
In short: the HD models from the ComfortClass offer exactly the right coach to<br />
meet any requirements – thanks to their wide range of variants.<br />

The MD models.<br />
Less height, more flexibility.<br />
The MD models bring together the fascination of modern touring coaches with<br />
contemporary efficiency thinking. As middle-deckers, they open up a whole new<br />
coach segment. They are therefore ideal for tours with less luggage and high-level<br />
travel comfort – for long-distance line services as well as for occasional services.<br />
The lower vehicle height of the MD models results in especially low air<br />
resistance, less curb weight, and therefore favourable consumption, combined<br />
with a high payload.<br />
At the same time, your passengers will enjoy the high-level touring comfort of the<br />
ComfortClass – with an impressive interior standing height and diverse customisation<br />
options. You can look forward to receiving exactly the level of equipment for<br />
your MD that suits your touring applications: from the basic standard-equipment<br />
all the way through to fully customised high-level comfort.<br />
In short, the MD will adapt to your plans with absolute flexibility.<br />

On the inside:<br />
more space for comfort.<br />
The ComfortClass 500’s inner greatness.<br />
Outstanding spaciousness is what distinguishes travel in a ComfortClass 500.<br />
From the first moment onwards: the wide steps and the elegant handrail make<br />
boarding the coach a pleasure.<br />
The interior standing height of 2.10 metres and the unusual ceiling concept create<br />
an outstanding feeling of space: the passenger compartment opens upwards<br />
on the sides, enabling a sweeping view through the large panoramic windows.<br />
We take safety seriously.<br />
More safety for passengers and drivers: UN ECE Regulation 118.<br />
The new version of UN ECE Regulation 118.02 requires newly registered buses from summer 2020 to have additional<br />
fire test certificates for materials in the interior, engine compartment, and separate heater compartments. Having<br />
the greatest possible safety is a core value for Daimler Buses and compliance with the statutory requirements<br />
a self-evident duty. Therefore all materials now used in the interior of our buses are being tested, and where<br />
necessary respecified.<br />
The modifications undertaken for plastics are not noticeable to the eye or touch. As part of qualification in accordance<br />
with UN ECE Regulation 118.02 the collection of our seat cover materials is also being changed. The only restriction<br />
will be in the variety of colour shades and patterns (designs) available. The quality requirements of Daimler Buses<br />
for the textiles of the seat materials in its collection will remain at the existing high level. We would ask you to be<br />
aware that the appearance and feel of the materials illustrated in this brochure may change due to these design<br />
optimisations in the interest of safety.<br />
The current Setra seat generation, with its comfortable, ergonomically shaped<br />
backrests, ensures maximum seating comfort and ease of use. A modern heating<br />
and air-conditioning concept ensures an equally high climatic comfort throughout<br />
the entire coach interior.* And, to open up a generous view to the outside for all<br />
passengers, on many seat models the aisle seats can be configured six centimetres<br />
to the front of the window seats on request.**<br />
* The air-conditioning system and the refrigerator of your vehicle are filled with the refrigerant R-134a, and contain a<br />
fluorinated greenhouse gas. Notices with detailed information on the type of refrigerant used can be found on the<br />
respective unit. In connection please note the instructions in the owner’s manual for your vehicle. For more detailed<br />
information, please see the relevant technical specifications.<br />

The cockpit makes<br />
driving a dream.<br />
Ergonomic design at its most refined.<br />
The ComfortClass 500 was consistently designed for the comfort and well-being<br />
of the driver. Even at first glance, the Cockpit Comfort exudes an exceptional<br />
feeling of quality (image to the right). But most of all, a state-of-the-art instrument<br />
cluster, a superb overview and consistent operating logic throughout the coach all<br />
come together with outstanding ergonomics.<br />
For example, the driver’s seat, steering column and steering wheel offer multiple<br />
adjustment options. The exceptionally practical storage concept in the cockpit<br />
addresses the needs and wishes of many drivers. Invisible heating at the driver’s<br />
window contributes to very pleasant temperature control.<br />
The standard-equipment cockpit found in the MD models is ideally conceived for<br />
the driver (image below). In these vehicles, the Cockpit Comfort is available as<br />
special equipment. Optionally, you can select the Coach smartRadio coach which<br />
offers a variety of media playback options: e.g. audio-streaming via Bluetooth,<br />
hands-free calling, announcements with microphone prioritisation and audio-playback<br />
via USB or SD card.<br />

Easy online access: The optional Coach MediaRouter enables<br />
your passengers to access the Internet via wireless<br />
LTE-speed WLAN. Via the router, you can also provide your<br />
passengers with media content such as movies, music and<br />
images, which they can retrieve for their personal on-board<br />
entertainment via smartphone, tablet or other.<br />
Relaxed on the road: the driver’s and attendant’s seat offer superb comfort.<br />
For a harmonious interior, they can be matched to the passenger seats in colour<br />
and design (option).<br />
Great entertainment: the optional 48 cm (19") ceiling monitors are also<br />

Made-to-measure equipment.<br />
A selection of standard and optional equipment.<br />
With a choice of two different door positions and in conjunction with the galley and<br />
WC options, you can adapt your ComfortClass to suit your specific requirements.<br />
Therefore, the middle door is the right choice if you want to carry as many passengers<br />
as possible with a reasonable amount of luggage.<br />
If maximum luggage compartment capacity and an attractive integrated seat<br />
layout are in the foreground for you, the optional rear door is the right coach for<br />
you (only available for 2-axle vehicles). It enables a considerably higher luggage<br />
volume compared to the middle-door version, as well as comfortable access to<br />
the rear WC.<br />
Barrier-free access: of course we will be happy to equip your new ComfortClass<br />
for passengers with limited mobility, as per ECE-R 107, upon request. The electrohydraulic<br />
wheelchair lift is installed in the luggage compartment behind the<br />
front axle (actual installation may differ from the image shown).<br />
For sports-minded travel: the ski box, painted in the same colour as the coach<br />
body and made of durable composite material, offers plenty of additional storage<br />
space and blends in perfectly with the design of the ComfortClass (optional).<br />
Recharging à la carte: with the optional USB ports (10.5 W/2.1 A) your<br />
passengers can conveniently recharge small electrical devices such as mobile<br />
phones or cameras. You can select between different positions.<br />

Your objectives need security as well.<br />
The ComfortClass is truly outstanding in terms of driver and<br />
passenger protection, since it has a range of state-of-the-art<br />
safety systems on board. For example, the optional Sideguard<br />
Assist offers even more protection for pedestrians and cyclists<br />
when turning.<br />
The ComfortClass features the Active Brake Assist 4 (ABA 4) as<br />
standard. Thanks to pedestrian detection, it ensures maximum<br />
protection not only on highways, but also in the city. The Lane<br />
Assist (SPA) and highly advanced Front Collision Guard (FCG) are<br />
also standard safety features. Addditionally, the ComfortClass<br />
with its high structural rigidity, as per ECE-R 66.02, is ideally<br />
equipped to meet current requirements.<br />
The ComfortClass also features further systems engineered<br />
to protect drivers and passengers. These include Attention<br />
Assist (AtAs, option), which detects driver fatigue and actively<br />
warns him or her, integrated headlights with LED technology<br />
for low and high beams (option), and last but not least, the<br />
electropneumatic braking system (EBS, standard) with Brake<br />
Assist (BAS).<br />
RDK 111<br />
The Tire Pressure Monitoring (TPM, option) with the display in the instrument<br />
cluster makes checking tire pressure extremely convenient. Additionally, it<br />
warns the driver if the tire temperature is too high. It helps you avoid tire<br />
damage – serving both safety and cost-effectiveness.<br />
The optional Sideguard Assist uses short-range radar sensors to monitor the<br />
lane to the right of the coach. When turning, it warns the driver of pedestrians,<br />
cyclists and standing obstacles in the monitoring zone, with optical and haptic<br />
signals.<br />
Seeing and being seen better: The long-life LED headlamps (option) with a<br />
very precisely definable, bright light beam ensure improved safety. The light<br />
colour corresponds to that of daylight and therefore results in the driver’s<br />
eyes becoming tired less quickly.<br />
20<br />

Cost-effectiveness: everything under one roof.<br />
The ComfortClass 500 brings together high-level cost-effectiveness,<br />
powerful performance and environmental compatibility. For<br />
example, thanks to the BlueEFFICI<strong>EN</strong>CY Power engines from<br />
Mercedes-Benz, which also achieve best marks in terms of<br />
performance and weight.<br />
The ComfortClass 500’s highly rigid yet lightweight support<br />
structure ensures favourable fuel consumption, as well as<br />
intelligent energy and consumption management. Further more,<br />
its consistently aerodynamic outer shell which, together with<br />
automatic level lowering at high speeds, reduces consumption<br />
even further.<br />
With the optional Predictive Powertrain Control (PPC), Setra offers<br />
the driver for the first time ever a driver assistance system<br />
which, in addition to speed and brake control, intervenes in the<br />
automatic transmission control.*<br />
Because the system knows the topography ahead thanks to GPS<br />
maps, it can proactively optimise switching times and cruise<br />
speed – especially in ascent and descents – and therefore act<br />
more fuel-efficiently. Predictive Powertrain Control makes the<br />
ComfortClass 500 even more cost-effective.<br />
This and many other measures contribute to the<br />
ComfortClass 500’s consumption remaining pleasingly<br />
low. And, thanks to a whole series of clever weight<br />
optimisation measures, the load and passenger capacity<br />
of the ComfortClass are exceptionally high.<br />
All of this provides you as an operator with crystal clear<br />
financial benefits – along with even further optimised<br />
maintenance costs. And, one day, you will also capitalise<br />
on the high resale value of your ComfortClass 500.<br />
* 95% of approx. 300,000 km of highways and federal roads in Europe<br />
are currently already covered.<br />
Aerodynamic design: with its drag coefficient of 0.33, the ComfortClass also<br />
sets a new benchmark in air resistance.<br />
More cost-effective on the road: The Eco Driver Feedback (EDF, optional)<br />
gives the driver individual feedback on his personal driving style. The goal is to<br />
exploit every potential in terms of fuel savings.<br />
Consumption optimisation made easy: Predictive Powertrain Control (PPC,<br />
optional), in combination with the PowerShift transmission, ensures an<br />
efficient speed curve and an optimal gearshift sequence based on forwardlying<br />
topography.<br />

The overall cost-effectiveness of your ComfortClass.<br />
A long-term investment, economical consumption, favourable<br />
maintenance costs: the ComfortClass doesn’t only<br />
stand out with its design, comfort and versatility. It will also<br />
impress you when you consider its cost-effectiveness<br />
throughout its entire lifecycle and beyond – the Total Cost<br />
of Ownership (TCO).<br />
Capital costs.<br />
With the ComfortClass, you are investing in a coach with the<br />
greatest possible value retention. To ensure optimal cost-effectiveness,<br />
we make sure to adapt the coach’s equipment to your<br />
needs, as well as financing, service and service contracts to<br />
your specific business application. If you wish, BusStore will even<br />
guarantee the residual value of your coach and buy it back at a<br />
later date. This enables the greatest possible planning security.<br />
Energy costs.<br />
The highly efficient engines in our ComfortClass coaches<br />
ensure low fuel consumption with maximum performance. The<br />
Mercedes-Benz GO-250 PowerShift 3 transmission, which is<br />
ideally optimised to the engine, further enhances fuel consumption.<br />
The outstanding aerodynamics of the ComfortClass,<br />
as well as OMNIplus DriverTraining programmes also contribute<br />
to favourable consumption values.<br />
Maintenance and repair costs.<br />
Long maintenance intervals and the high availability of your<br />
ComfortClass will keep your maintenance costs pleasantly<br />
low. Thanks to the full-coverage OMNIplus Service Network<br />
with coach-specific Service Points, you can count on remaining<br />
mobile at all times with your ComfortClass.<br />
We are continuously optimising all these cost factors. Of course,<br />
there are costs which we cannot influence. In all cases, your<br />
ComfortClass not only performs brilliantly for passengers, but<br />
also for your bottom line. Your Setra partner will be happy to<br />

Technology in detail. Things to know about the important features<br />
and options of the ComfortClass 500.<br />
ART 107 SPA 109<br />
Kneeling 112 Variante 01 FCG 114 AquaBlade 115 ESP 106<br />
Sideguard Assist.<br />
The Sideguard Assist turning assistant feature considerably<br />
increases the safety of unprotected road users, especially<br />
in cities, since it helps the driver recognise critical situations<br />
in a timely manner when turning. The system operates in<br />
different stages: in a first stage, it informs the driver, and in<br />
a second stage, it provides an additional warning.<br />
If a moving object is located in the lateral or side monitoring<br />
zone, the driver is informed optically. In the exterior<br />
mirror on the passenger’s side, an LED light in a triangular<br />
shape illuminates yellow at the driver’s height of vision.<br />
It intuitively directs the attention to the situation next to<br />
the vehicle. Additionally, a warning message appears in<br />
the central display.<br />
If the driver initiates or continues an action that could lead<br />
to a collision, an additional visual warning is given: the LED<br />
light flashes several times red with higher luminosity and<br />
then permanently. In addition to this, a tactile vibration<br />
acts as a warning in the driver’s seat. Moreover, Sideguard<br />
Assist warns the driver of stationary obstacles in the<br />
coach’s turning curve and can also take on the task of<br />
a lane changing assistant, in which case it operates with<br />
the same warning cascade.<br />
Active Brake Assist 4 (ABA 4).<br />
Regardless of the Adaptive Cruise Control (ART) function,<br />
Active Brake Assist 4 (ABA 4) warns the driver prior to<br />
a collision with an obstacle and independently brakes the<br />
coach. To this end, the radar-controlled system constantly<br />
scans an area of up to 250 metres of the lane in front of the<br />
coach. As the worldʼs first system of its kind, ABA 4 also<br />
reacts to pedestrians.<br />
Therefore, in addition to moving vehicles and stationary<br />
obstacles ahead (e.g. the tail-end of a traffic jam), the system<br />
also detects pedestrians within 80 metres. For example,<br />
should the distance to pedestrians be dangerously reduced,<br />
the system alerts the driver by means of visual and acoustic<br />
warning signals, while initiating partial braking through to a<br />
standstill if the driver does not respond. The partial braking<br />
provides the driver with the possibility of avoiding the collision<br />
by means of a full braking or steering manoeuvre. Additionally,<br />
he can warn endangered pedestrians in time using the<br />
vehicle’s horn.<br />
Adaptive Cruise Control (ART).<br />
The Adaptive Cruise Control feature relieves the driver by<br />
maintaining a constant distance – defined by the driver –<br />
from the vehicle ahead, based on continuous measurements.<br />
This not only increases safety on country roads and<br />
highways, but also convenience.<br />
A radar system, which guarantees outstanding functionality<br />
even under poor weather conditions and in the dark, monitors<br />
a distance of up to 250 meters in front of the vehicle and to<br />
the full width of the road. Should a variably defined security<br />
distance to the vehicle driving ahead be undercut, ART slows<br />
down the coach so that the safety zone is maintained. Many<br />
rear-impact collisions can therefore be avoided.<br />
Unlike the emergency assistant Active Brake Assist 4<br />
(ABA 4), ART initiates a smooth braking with maximum<br />
20 per cent of its possible power.<br />
Lane Assist (SPA).<br />
Driver fatigue ranks among the most frequent causes of<br />
accidents. The Lane Assist feature, at the heart of which<br />
is a camera positioned behind the front windscreen,<br />
continuously measures the lateral distance to side road<br />
markings. If the driver leaves his lane, the system warns<br />
him using a directional vibration in the seat cushion. For<br />
example, if he inadvertently heads to the right, the seat<br />
cushion vibrates on the right side.<br />
To avoid false alarms, the Lane Assist is only activated at<br />
speeds of 60 km/h or above. This prevents problems<br />
along construction sites, where coaches hardly drive at<br />
speeds greater than 60 km/h. If the driver consciously<br />
changes lanes and puts the blinker on, the Lane Assist<br />
recognises this and does not give a warning.<br />
Level lowering and kneeling.<br />
The ComfortClass 500 is equipped with an electronic level<br />
control which offers tangible benefits to both operators<br />
and passengers. On the one hand, at high speeds, the level<br />
of the coach is automatically lowered, which in interaction<br />
with the very aerodynamic design of the ComfortClass 500,<br />
contributes to optimised fuel consumption. On the other<br />
hand, for the first time with a coach, “kneeling” is used as<br />
standard equipment. This allows the level of the non-moving<br />
coach to be lowered on one side, to facilitate passenger<br />
entry into the coach.<br />
Front Collision Guard (FCG).<br />
In the case of a frontal collision, the Front Collision Guard<br />
(FCG) offers increased safety in the front part of the vehicle<br />
and reliable underride protection through a cross profile.<br />
Crash elements, with an absorber structure which transforms<br />
impact energy into distortion energy, are positioned behind<br />
the FCG’s cross profile. This considerably reduces the outcome<br />
of the impact.<br />
Since the driver’s work space, incl. steering, pedals and seat,<br />
is mounted on a massive frame component, it can be pushed<br />
backwards to maintain a protective space for the driver in the<br />
case of severe frontal impact. So, the interplay of Active<br />
Brake Assist 4 (ABA 4) and FCG can achieve unparalleled<br />
levels of safety for the driver and attendant, and ultimately<br />
for passengers as well.<br />
The FCG fulfils the requirements of the underride guard<br />
according to ECE-R 93, as well as legal norms for pendulum<br />
impact in coaches.<br />
The AquaBlade windshield washer system.<br />
With a highly innovative profile, the AquaBlade flat-blade<br />
wipers ensure that the cleaning water is distributed<br />
very evenly on the windscreen. What is unusual about the<br />
system is that the cleaning water exits the wiper blade<br />
and is immediately directly to the area requiring cleaning.<br />
This enhances comfort, saves cleaning water, enables<br />
improved cleaning and optimised visibility – and ultimately<br />
a significant plus in safety. As well, the AquaBlade flatblade<br />
wipers feature exceptional aerodynamic qualities,<br />
which also result in reduced noise.<br />
Electronic Stability Programme (ESP ® ).<br />
The Electronic Stability Programme (ESP ® ) significantly<br />
reduces the risk of skidding, by counteracting the vehicle’s<br />
swerving through targeted braking of individual wheels.<br />
High-performance electronics monitor the signals of<br />
ESP ® sensors and continuously check whether the driver’s<br />
steering intention and the actual motion of the vehicle<br />
correspond. If the values differ, the system instantly reduces<br />
the engine power to re-establish the vehicle’s balance and<br />
stability. If this is not sufficient, the system additionally<br />
brakes individual wheels.<br />
Two further active safety systems are included in the<br />
ESP ® system: the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) and the<br />
Integrated Traction Control (ASR).<br />

Important for you. Important for us. Technical Data Stored in the Vehicle.<br />
Electronic vehicle components (e.g. Airbag Control Unit, Engine Control Unit) contain data storage for vehicle Technical Data, including but not limited<br />
to Diagnostic Trouble Codes in the event of a malfunction, vehicle speed, braking force, or operating conditions of the Restraint System and Driver Assistance<br />
Systems in case of an accident (no audio and no video data recording). This data is either stored volatile, punctual as snapshot e.g. Diagnostic Trouble Codes,<br />
over a short period of time (a few seconds only) e.g. in case of an accident or in aggregated form e.g. for component load evaluation. The data can be read<br />
using interfaces connected to the vehicle. Trained technicians can process and utilize the data to diagnose and repair possible malfunctions. The manufacturer<br />
can use the data to analyze and improve vehicle functions. When requested by the customer, Technical Data can form the basis of additional optional services.<br />
In general, data from the vehicle is transferred to the manufacturer or a third party only according to legal allowance, or based on a contractual customer<br />
consent in accordance with data protection laws. Further information regarding storage of vehicle Technical Data is provided in the vehicle Owner’s Manual.<br />
Setra Buses and Coaches naturally handles customer data confidentially.<br />
