4 INTRODUCTION

Even the road will hear your heart pounding.

Asphalt may be no feast for the eyes, but it’s been getting Mercedes-Benz
drivers excited for over 120 years. That same passion for the road was the
inspiration for our newest interpretation of driving pleasure.
From the interior to the latest innovations in drive technology, few cars can
compete with the C-Class’ ability to adjust so many facets of its character.
Its capacity for meeting personal needs is beyond comparison and it adapts
to external conditions with speed and precision. The keys to this flexible
driving response are the standard- fit AGILITY CONTROL steering,
suspension and selective damping.
With a range of exceptional engines and transmissions to choose from,
the C-Class will suit the most discerning of tastes. You’ll find that the
upgraded interior offers noticeably more space and a more distinctive
atmosphere thanks to luxurious materials, intuitive controls and a new
cockpit design.
Whether you choose the dynamic new grille and body design or the
traditional look, the new C-Class is the perfect embodiment of the
Mercedes-Benz philosophy.
 AG I L I T Y 7

As nimble as it is quick.
The new C-Class is an authoritative presence that demands attention.
Taut lines lend an air of effortless superiority. The distinctive rear section
and wide radiator grille establish its dominance on the road. But looks
are only part of the story.
You’ll find that the C-Class is equipped with innovative technical systems
that deliver a driving experience unequalled in its class. Among the
highlights is the new AGILITY CONTROL suspension. Its selective damping
system makes automatic, continuous adjustments to the suspension set-up
in accordance to the ever-changing conditions of the road. This makes
for a consistently enjoyable ride no matter what curves are thrown at you.
Handle the weather as easily as the winding road by choosing our
award-winning 4MATIC™ permanent all-wheel drive system available on
all C-Class models. 4MATIC™ not only improves grip on slippery roads
as a measure of proactive safety but offers a noticeably more dynamic
driving experience on dry roads.
8 AG I L I T Y ENGINES

Energy meets synergy,

power meets confidence.
Exceptionally smooth and refined, the C-Class’ three DOHC V- 6 engines
have a passion for performance. The lightweight alloy construction reduces
weight, improving vehicle stability and fuel efficiency. These power plants
also boast continuously variable timing of the intake and exhaust valves
with an advanced system that optimizes the engine’s breathing at every
rpm range. This means a broad, flat torque curve as well as lower emissions.
It’s always a smooth ride thanks to a unique balancer shaft that ensures
quieter engine operation and reduces overall vibrations.

C230 2.5-LITRE V-6

201 hp and 181 lb-ft of torque make for outstanding responsiveness.
Variable valve timing bestows it with an incredibly broad power band for
swift acceleration and passing performance.

C300 3.0-LITRE V-6

228 hp and 221 lb-ft of torque assures you rapid response whether taking
off from a stop or merging onto a crowded highway.

C350 3.5-LITRE V-6

268 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque means our most powerful C-Class offers
tremendous performance for any driving situation.
10 AG I L I T Y TRANSMISSIONS

Ahead of the game because

we’ve stepped it up a gear.
The C230 and C300 sedans are fitted with a 6-speed manual transmission
and the new AGILITY CONTROL gearshift, which offers more responsive
gear shifting thanks to direct transmission via shift rod.
Fitted standard on the C350 and 4MATIC™ models is 7G-TRONIC, the world’s
first 7-speed automatic transmission.1 This engineering masterpiece
ensures barely perceptible shifts through the entire gear range. Along with
intelligent transmission programming that learns and adapts itself to your
personal driving style, 7G-TRONIC can skip several gears for responsive
stopping power or when downshifting for quick bursts of speed. It also boasts
a second reverse gear with a higher transmission ratio to make pulling
away on ice and snow easier and safer.

12 AG I L I T Y SUSPENSION

If the going gets rough you won’t even notice.

The C-Class has always been known as an outstandingly comfortable ride.
Still, we challenged our engineers to outdo themselves. And they pulled
it off. The new C-Class sets the standard for comfortable suspension and
low interior noise levels.
The new C-Class now features a selective damping system. The standard-fit
AGILITY CONTROL package automatically adjusts the dampers at each wheel
to a harder or softer setting according to the given situation. It translates
into a noticeably smoother ride than conventional dampers, particularly on
poor road surfaces.
As a driver, staying relaxed at the wheel also means interior noise levels
should be low. We kept this in mind when re-designing the C-Class.
To eliminate wind noise more effectively, we have optimized the shape
of countless bodywork details and improved the sound insulation.
For those desiring an even livelier feel on the road, the C-Class offers a
premium Sport Package.1 With a sport-tuned suspension, upgraded brake
calipers and a motorsport-inspired three-spoke steering wheel, even a trip
to the corner store can get your heart rate up.

to stabilize the vehicle
on the roughest roads.

Confidence in any weather.

Sheets of rain, blankets of snow or heat waves rising from the asphalt:
conquer it all by opting for the most advanced all-wheel drive system in the
field. Proven in the flagship S - Class sedan, our fourth-generation 4MATIC™
permanent all-wheel drive system is a perfect fit for the new C-Class.
This award-winning all-wheel drive technology incorporates our 4-Wheel
Electronic Traction System (4-ETS) which monitors each wheel for the first
sign of slippage.1 The system is always engaged and can individually brake
slipping wheels to maintain the balance of power or reduce excess torque.
4MATIC™ splits the distribution of the engine power between the front
wheels (45%) and the rear wheels (55%) in order to enhance both safety
and performance.
Envied amongst other all-wheel drive systems, 4MATIC™ has a more simple
and lightweight design that lends itself to better mechanical performance
and improved fuel efficiency. 4MATIC™ also works seamlessly with our
Electronic Stability Program (ESP®) and acceleration skid control (ASR)
system to enhance your all-wheel drive advantage and offer a greater
level of proactive safety.

1 No system, regardless of how advanced, can overcome the laws of physics or correct careless driving. Please always

wear your seat belt. Best performance in snow is obtained with winter tires.

You work hard. Let us take it from here.

A driving environment that allows you to concentrate on the task at
hand is not just a luxury; it’s a major safety feature. It all starts with a
well-designed driver’s area. The new dashboard is horizontally structured
and positioned higher than the previous design. The three - dial instrument
cluster is in your immediate field of vision to provide information about
key operating functions. Between the dials, the LCD screen lets you know
what radio station or CD track is playing and audio controls lie conveniently
under your fingertips on the leather-wrapped multifunction steering wheel.
The internal atmosphere is just as easily adjusted. At the touch of a button,

You’ll never want to stand again.

When developing new front seats for the C-Class we had fastidious tastes
in mind. Whether draped in ARTICO1 or the hand-fitted full leather
upgrade,2 the 8-way power-adjustable front seats conform to your every
curve. Your personalized comfort levels can also be remembered by
means of the Memory Package.3 Exact seat configuration, head restraint
height, steering wheel and mirror positions are all recalled at the touch of
a button. And when you can see your breath outside, the heated front
seats4 will keep you toasty inside.
Rear passengers are also catered to, with more leg and headroom
than before. Opting for the rear window sunshade 5 or the rear temperature
controls as part of the THERMOTRONIC automatic climate system6 will
only increase the carpooling requests.

existing cargo space in the trunk, the split-folding rear seats7 offer added
versatility for longer items such as skis and golf clubs.

From silence to symphonic.

A virtually silent interior is the first step in creating the perfect sound system.
Positioned for optimal acoustics within the C-Class, the speed-responsive
loudspeakers will automatically match the enthusiasm of the engine,
turning the music up as the pedal goes down. When you really want to
push the decibel level on the standard MP3-compatible CD player and
AM /FM weatherband radio, do so safely and conveniently with intuitive
steering wheel controls.

We’ve thought about this so you don’t have to.

Numerous occupant protection systems can significantly reduce the risk
of injury in the event of an accident. In case of a rear-end collision,
sensors cause the standard-fit NECK-PRO head restraints in the front seats
to deploy in a matter of milliseconds to reduce the distance between the
seat occupant’s head and the head restraint to reduce the risk of whiplash.
The C-Class is further equipped with belt tensioners on the front and outer
rear seats and numerous airbags. These include two-stage driver and front
passenger airbags,1 side air bags, and window curtain air bags whose
protection zone covers virtually the entire area of the side windows. The side
air bags and window curtain air bags are also triggered by pressure sensors:
if the door deforms in a side-on collision, the increase in air pressure
between the outer door panels and the interior of the door is registered
by the pressure sensors, notifying the control unit to deploy the airbags.
We’ve packed as many safety features as we could into the new C-Class
in hopes that they’ll never be needed.

1 WARNING: The forces of a deploying air bag can cause serious or fatal injuries to a child under age 13. Children

under 13 should be seated in the back seat if possible. See Operator’s Manual for additional warnings and information
on air bags, seat belts and child seats.
32 SA F E T Y P O S T- S A F E

Even when it’s down it’s not out.

To prevent further damage following an accident and to assist with rescuing
the occupants, the C-Class takes various measures depending on the type
and severity of the accident. The engine turns off automatically and the
fuel supply is cut. Hazard lights warn other drivers and emergency interior
lights are automatically activated. Side windows are partially lowered
and if necessary, doors are automatically unlocked. Cutting points on the
windshield and rear window help emergency responders identify the
sections of the A and C pillars that can be cut if it is necessary to tear off
the roof.
Should an air bag or Emergency Tensioning Device be activated, the vehicle
can engage the optional TeleAid System,1 putting your vehicle in touch with
the TeleAid Emergency Response Center, where trained specialists can
assess the situation and alert emergency services quickly and efficiently.
Mercedes-Benz understands that when it comes to safety, time is of
the essence.
