The up and down arrows are quick reverse, for getting it out when it's stuck. The hare and donkey are so you can drive slowly while still getting higher revs, like when you need to power other equipment and also for crawler gears to get even higher revs while going slowly. Start/stop seems to be associated with the lower power versalift which appear to be added aftermarket. Versalift is a company that makes bucket trucks, so it could be something like that. ABS is for a different ABS program when off-roading. The beacon light an optional upfitter switch since a lot of these trucks have a beacon light fitted to the top. The one that shows the axles, drive shaft, and a shaft across the middle that has a knob attached to it is for the PTO. The n in a circle is for the governor, used for keeping the engine running at a specific speed in congjunction with the cruise control. Tire hanging on a telephone pole is heated mirrors. Power versalift, see above with start/stop. The tires with arrows is for the inflating/deflating the tires and the button next to it with the two axles is for choosing which axles you want to adjust the pressure on.

Mercedes builts these vehicles with an emty bed, then special companies put on various typs of beds and other stuff.
And thats why there are so many blanc and useless switches. So these companies can put the individual controls there, the beacon light is for when you have a beacon on the roof. these are commercial vehicels, it nobody cares if there are usless buttens, as long as it is cheap and drives.
And the tire on a pole. mirror heater.

As a safety feature, airbrakes stop the brakes from engaging. if there's a failure in the brake airline, the brakes engage, bringing the vehicle to a swift stop. Furthermore, the engine has to run for a few minutes so enough pressure in the airtank is reached for the brakes to disengage.

It's funny how Doug refers to the Unimog as a pick up. In Europe these are classed as lorries (proper trucks) and no one is ever going to think about it as a pick up lol. Great review though, unimogs are so cool!

Some, if not all new unimogs are both left and right hand drive. The steering wheel is switchable. That is the coolest feature I ve ever seen on a vehicle. Definitely a lottery vehicle for me

Hey Doug didn't you just head here? Nantucket coronavirus outbreak has neighbors pointing fingers at each other
The Massachusetts island recently reported a 13. 1% positivity rate

Waaaaiiiit just a minute, Doug! I thought you told us you only wanted to review vehicles in stock trim, as they came from the factory? Oh well, this was an awesome exception.

should have informed himself on the Unimog in general before showing his limited knowledge' plus maybe there is someone to do the audio with a voice that sounds more normal.

The after-market crew cab is ridiculous. I hope that whovever buys this vehicle has enough sense to remove it and restore the usability of the vehicle as, you know, a truck.
