Get a new feel for the roadThe new C - Class. Agility and effortless superiorityGrey asphalt may not be one of life’s most inspiring sights,but for over 120 years now, our vehicles have shown thatit can give drivers a lot of fun. Reason enough, we thought,to go a step further and offer a new interpretation of drivingpleasure. The result is the new C - Class. Available as aSaloon or an Estate, it allows you to experience the road asnever before. Few cars can compete with its ability to adjustso many facets of its character – from the interior to thedrive technology – so quickly and precisely in response toexternal conditions and your own particular needs.The advanced technology for the new model includes thestandard - fit AGILITY CONTROL package with selectivedamping as well as the optional dynamic handling packagewith sports mode which allows you to adjust the vehicle’shandling at the touch of a button. A wide range of engines( including a number of uprated units ) means that theC - Class can be specified to meet just about any performancerequirements while the arrival of the new Estate offersthe ideal combination of functionality and flexibility. Bothmodels feature fine materials and a new design, creatingan even more compelling interior ambience ( whether thisreflects a more sports - oriented character or a particularemphasis on comfort is entirely up to you ). As you will see,in terms of its external appearance, too, the new C - Classhas, quite literally, several faces.

A mark of personalityThe design of the C - Class AVANTGARDEThe completely new design of the exterior and interior hascreated a larger, wider and more spacious C - Class whichis available with an impressive new range of paint finishesand upholstery patterns. What’s more, you can choosewhich aspect of your C - Class you would like to highlight.The AVANTGARDE design and equipment line emphasisesthe car’s sporty side. The dominant star in the radiatorgrille makes a powerful statement, while the chrome bandwhich runs right around the body accentuates the tautlines of the new C - Class.

A sure sign of styleThe design of the C - Class ELEGANCEThe ELEGANCE design and equipment line brings therefinement and comfort of the C - Class to the fore. The characteristicstar features as a free - standing element on thebonnet and the different chrome trim elements around thevehicle give the new C - Class a particularly impressivepresence. Tone - in - tone colour schemes contribute to thewarm, pleasant atmosphere of the interior. Convex, chromedbadges on the front wings designate the ELEGANCE andAVANTGARDE design and equipment lines. The C - Classstandard equipment also has timeless appeal.

It offers a particularly fast, easy and intuitive way ofadjusting the full range of COMAND APS settings

Comfort | Ride comfort37A chauffeur - driven feelThe new C - Class : setting the benchmark for comfortable suspension and low noise levelsThe C - Class has always been synonymous with outstandingride comfort. The aim of our engineers was therefore toraise the standard yet again. As a result, the new C - Classfeatures a selective damping system. The standard - fitAGILITY CONTROL package automatically adjusts thedampers at each wheel to a harder or softer setting accordingto the current driving situation, ensuring a significantlysmoother ride than conventional dampers, especially onpoor road surfaces.Low interior noise levels are a prerequisite for a relaxingdriving experience. To eliminate wind noise from the C - Classinterior even more effectively, we have optimised the shapeof countless bodywork details and further improved thesound insulation.Selective damping system : Softer shock absorber characteristics ensure anextremely smooth ride in normal mode. For dynamic driving the full dampingforce is made available to stabilise the vehicle

Comfort | Load compartment39If you need more space, we have the real estateSimply more possibilitiesEvery day brings its challenges, be they large or small,personal or professional. It is only natural, therefore, thatanyone who wants to be prepared for any situation shouldset particularly high standards when it comes to choosingan Estate, not least with regard to the variability of theload compartment. So we took special care to addressthese needs comprehensively during the development ofthe new C - Class Estate – with the handy stowage nets, the485 to 1500 - litre load capacity ( particularly impressive inthis segment ) and the EASY - PACK load - securing kit. Allthe details have been fully thought - out and are geared tothe same objective : ensuring your comfort.The new C - Class Estate also impresses with its extremelyhigh payload of up to 605 kg 1 as well as its remarkabletowing capacity of up to 1800 kg. What’s more, when youmake use of the latter, you benefit from the additionalsafety offered by the trailer stabilisation functionality ofthe vehicle’s ESP system. A range of options, includingautomatic opening / closing functionality for the tailgateand a new type of self - levelling suspension for optimumload compensation, enhances the everyday practicality ofthis all - rounder even further.1 As per DIN

Safety | Integrated safety concept 43A theory which can save lives in practiceThe integral safety concept from Mercedes - BenzFew, if any, fields of activity inspire us to produce suchconsistently impressive results as researching new safetytechnologies. As early as the 1950s, we passed an importantsafety milestone when legendary vehicle safety pioneerBéla Barényi invented the passenger safety cell.This era also saw revolutionary ideas put forward by manyothers – such as Rolf Maier. In order to be able to study thecrash performance of steering and restraint systems quicklyand cost - effectively, Maier and his engineer colleaguesdesigned and built a special sled which was to be driveninto a wall at high speed. When they needed to create acrumple zone, the team came up with a simple, yet brilliantsolution : gherkin tins from the staff restaurant – a typicalexample of the creative spirit which characterised thispioneering time.Much as we like to reflect on the past, though, our focushas always been firmly on the future. The best example isour vision of accident - free driving, which is nearer todaythan ever before thanks to PRO - SAFE . This integralsafety concept from Mercedes - Benz divides automotivesafety into four phases.To ensure a safe journey throughout, the vehicle helps thedriver to identify critical situations promptly and handlethem better. In the second phase, where a risk has beendetected, numerous preventive measures can be activatedto reduce the risk of injury. In the event of an accident, theoccupants can benefit from effective, individualised protectionprovided by the comprehensive range of passivesafety systems. Finally, the fourth component comprisesthe phase after the accident when further measures comeinto play – to make the task of the rescue services easier,for example.Further information about the Mercedes - Benz safetyconcept is available online atwww.mercedes - benz.com / sicherheitsbroschueren.

Safety | Integrated safety concept45Focusing on helping you to stay focusedDrive more safely, and avoid dangers before they have a chance to developThe majority of accidents start long before the actual collision: with a lapse in concentration, poor visibility or anunexpected hazard. The new C - Class is therefore fitted withsafety systems which promote relaxed motoring and helpyou to bring critical situations under control.For example, the COMAND control and display system aswell as LINGUATRONIC voice control, both of which areavailable as options, allow you to keep both hands on thesteering wheel. When driving, you can also count on over60 electronic support systems. Some are designed to alertyou in the event of a problem – the tyre pressure losswarning system, for example. Others are there to provideactive assistance, such as the Electronic Stability ProgramESP , Brake Assist BAS and, for the first time in the C - Class,ESP trailer stabilisation. The ESP and BAS sensors candetect hazardous driving situations – such as pronouncedoversteer or understeer, dramatic steering movements,emergency and panic braking – and can assist the driveraccordingly. You are also kept informed about the safetystatus of your passengers. The standard belt status displayfor the rear seats in the instrument cluster gives you avisual signal if a passenger has forgotten to belt up.A new addition to the C - Class is the optional IntelligentLight System, based on the bi - xenon headlamps. It automaticallyadapts the low - beam lights to the given drivingsituation, providing broader illumination of the road onextra - urban roads and improving long - range visibility onmotorways. The Intelligent Light System also includes enhancedfog lamps, which significantly improve illuminationof the driver’s side of the road. Other components of theIntelligent Light System include the active light and corneringlight functions. With these, the headlamps follow yoursteering movements, lighting up bends in the road moreeffectively.

46Some hazards arise in next to no time. Some protectivesystems are even fasterThe PRE - SAFE ® anticipatory occupant protection systemMercedes - Benz presented PRE - SAFE in 2002 withone particular objective in mind : the valuable secondswhich precede an accident usually elapse unused. Theoptional PRE - SAFE system is designed to make effectiveuse of them. The ESP and BAS sensors identifypotentially dangerous situations such as strong oversteeror understeer, critical steering movements, panic brakingor emergency braking.PRE - SAFE : If there is an immediate danger of an accident occurring, theoptional PRE - SAFE system can tauten the seat belts, close the side windowsand the optional tilting / sliding sunroof or panoramic glass roof and move thefront passenger seat into a more favourable position ( in conjunction withelectrically adjustable seats and memory package )

Safety | Integrated safety concept47PRE - SAFE electronically evaluates this information and,when faced with situations which are typically associatedwith hazards, it triggers precautionary measures to protectthe occupants – including automatic tautening of the frontseat belts, automatic repositioning of the front passengerseat ( provided it is electrically adjustable and equippedwith the memory function ) and automatic closure of theside windows and the optional tilting / sliding sunroof orpanoramic glass roof.In the event of emergency braking, the adaptive brake lightsare also activated, their flashing mode providing more of awarning to traffic behind than conventional brake lights.

48If it comes to the crunch, you cantrust Mercedes to cushion the blowRestraint systems and the passenger safety cell can protect you and others effectively in an accidentNumerous occupant protection systems can significantlyreduce the risk of injury in an accident. In the event of arear - end collision, for example, sensors cause the standardfitNECK - PRO head restraints for the driver and frontpassenger to deploy in a matter of milliseconds to reducethe distance between the seat occupant’s head and thehead restraint.The C - Class is equipped with belt tensioners on the frontand outer rear seats, plus numerous airbags, includingtwo - stage driver and front passenger airbags, sidebags, andwindowbags whose protection zone covers virtually theentire area of the side windows. The sidebags and windowbagsare also triggered by pressure sensors : if the doordeforms in a side - on collision, the increase in air pressurebetween the outer door panels and the interior of the dooris registered by the pressure sensors, which assist thecontrol unit in deploying the airbags.Protection also extends to other road users, however, thanksto features such as smooth body surfaces with a generousdegree of predefined yield.

50Your Mercedes may have been immobilised,but that doesn’t mean it can’t still help youSafety after the event : helping to minimise further damage and speed up the rescue effortIn order to prevent further damage being caused followingan accident and to assist with the task of rescuing the occupants,the C - Class is able to take various measures dependingon the type and severity of the accident : the enginecan be turned off automatically and the fuel supply cut. Thehazard warning lights and emergency interior lights canbe activated automatically, the side windows partiallylowered, if necessary, and the doors automatically unlocked.To complete its holistic safety philosophy, Mercedes - Benzhas also published multilingual rescue guidelines ( accessibleonline worldwide at www.mercedes - benz.com /rescue - guidelines ) as an additional aid for the emergencyservices.
