Take - back of end - of - life vehicles.

Coming full circle

At the end of its long life, you can return your E - Class to us for environment - friendly disposal in accordance
with the EC End - Of - Life Vehicle Directive1. But that day lies a long way off.

Applies in accordance with national regulations to vehicles up to 3.5 t permissible gross weight. The E - Class has met the statutory
regulations governing the suitability of the vehicle’s design for reuse and recycling for a number of years now. A network
of vehicle take - back depots and dismantlers has been established which will process your vehicle in an environment - friendly manner.
The ways in which both vehicles and parts can be recovered are subject to ongoing development and improvement. Consequently,
the E - Class will be able to comply with any future increases in the recycling quota within the stipulated time limits.

Mercedes - Benz milestones

Béla Barényi – seen here with a safety prototype – is the acknowledged father
of passive safety engineering. His name appears on the Mercedes - Benz
patents for the passenger safety cell with crumple zones and the safety
steering column.
Since then Mercedes - Benz has time and again proved a pioneer in the
field of safety. In 1978 it was a Mercedes - Benz that helped put ABS on the
map, and just three years later airbags and belt tensioners made their
debut in a standard - production vehicle. The list goes on – from the intro-
duction of ESP  to PRE - SAFE .
Throughout, Mercedes - Benz has doggedly been pursuing one goal : the
vision of accident - free driving. It will be a while before this vision becomes
reality, but with the integrated safety concept of Mercedes - Benz the goal
has moved a step closer to fulfilment.

Comfort made the E - Class what it is today.

Or should that be the other way round ?
Feel thoroughly spoiled in the E - Class

Welcome home – when it comes to making you feel secure and at ease,
the E - Class has few rivals. That’s not about to change, but we have tweaked
a few of the details which help produce that feeling.
For example occupants can now select their preferred temperature using
the very latest climate control systems. And sit in climatised front seats
( shown here in sahara beige ) optionally equipped with heating, ventilation
and luxury head restraints. Luxury which not so very long ago would have
been unimaginable is also the keynote of options like the surround sound
system and DVD navigation system.

Driver - fitness safety

Mercedes - Benz investigates the medical and psychological
aspects of driving at its own research centre. This has led
to the development of assistance systems which have helped
to make driving not only significantly more enjoyable but
also safer. Such systems include DISTRONIC proximity control
and LINGUATRONIC voice control, both of which make for
more relaxed, more stress - free driving

 Agility
Always a pleasure
Dynamism of the highest order

How would you define driving enjoyment ? A powerful engine ? A sporty

suspension ? More direct steering ? The E - Class offers all of this – but there is
more to its agility than first meets the eye. For example, the engines – both
the CDI diesel engines and the petrol engines – are not only more powerful
than ever before, they also offer improved emissions.
The DIRECT CONTROL package, with firmer suspension tuning, offers even
sportier cornering due to reduced roll – but never at the expense of ride
comfort. The result is driving enjoyment of a kind which only the E - Class can
offer. The optional AIRMATIC DC air suspension takes this a stage further –
by automatically adjusting the damper setting to comfortable or agile, accord-
ing to your current driving style.
To ensure that you derive lasting pleasure from your car, we regularly
subject the E-Class to gruelling endurance tests. For example we packed three
standard - production E 320 CDI models off to the Laredo high - speed test
track in the Texan desert, where they all completed 100,000 miles of driving
at an average speed of 224 km / h, interrupted only by brief refuelling and
maintenance stops. This was not only a world record, it also proved that the
E - Class offers top performance in every detail.
The E - Class demonstrated its impressive fuel economy and enviable reli-
ability during the longest diesel marathon of all time. From October 21 to
November 17, 2006, 33 E 320 CDI models and three E 300 BlueTEC models
took part in the transcontinental Paris – Beijing rally – a journey spanning
around 14,000 kilometres and including unfinished road surfaces, steppes,
deserts, snow and ice. Given the full load and winter tyres, the average con-
sumption of 8.32 l / 100 km was astonishingly low. The best figure for a daily
stage was just 5.5 litres. And to round off the impressive performance, the
technical team had “no special incidents” to report – despite the fact that the
cars had covered a combined distance of 640,000 kilometres.

The standard equipment and optional extras

The E - Class already comes with a long list of standard equipment,

including air conditioning with automatic temperature control, a CD radio
and cruise control with SPEEDTRONIC variable speed limiter.
The E - Class also aims to meet a wide range of more personal wishes as
well. What wheels take your fancy? And what seat upholstery would you
choose, in what colour? This brochure will help you decide. Browse through
it at your leisure. And just give us a call if you need more information.
Or come and check out the choices yourself. Together, we can decide on
the car that best matches your style.

Driving an E - Class has always been a pretty special experience.
And we mean that quite literally. Because in spite of the large

The irresistible beauty of

The extra - scratch - resistant clearcoat on the E - Class

Stars are meant to shine, therefore we have followed our tradition of doing
things first and developed the best clearcoats available on the automotive
market. This innovative paint system by Mercedes - Benz has made it possible
to achieve another significant improvement in the high - quality visual im-
pression and therefore the value retention of our vehicles. This clearcoat
developed by Mercedes - Benz is more resistant than conventional clearcoats
by virtue of its particularly dense molecular structure. It also produces
a more lasting and noticeably more intense sheen. Whether you choose a
metallic or non - metallic paint finish, this more scratch - resistant clearcoat
is less sensitive to weathering and environmental influences, rain and snow,
sunlight and temperature fluctuations. It is also more resistant to chemical
attack and physical wear and tear, e.g. automatic car washes. You can rest
assured that your new Mercedes will continue to shine elegantly throughout
its long life.
