DY N A M I C S
At the crossroads of passion and precision.
In the 2009 CL-Class, every detail has come together perfectly. Because
every detail represents a choice. A choice to be, to make, to do the best.
The result is our most sophisticated coupe ever.
The front and rear pillars linked by the powerful arch of the roof usually
dominate the form of a coupe. In the case of the CL-Class, this is just
one of many exciting design characteristics. Indeed, its entire formal
vocabulary is an irresistibly eloquent invitation to take the wheel. Even at
first glance, the CL seems to hug the road, ready to deliver an exceptional
driving experience.
The impressive radiator grille and the high-tech headlamps give the front
section its unmistakable identity. The muscular contours of the wings
dominate the side view, while a distinctive arched shoulder line sweeps
across the flanks of the vehicle and merges with the characteristic roof line.
Styling as dynamic as this inevitably raises expectations about performance.
A look under the long hood confirms the presence of a powerhouse that
is eminently worthy of a coupe like the CL. And you can choose from a
range of wheel designs. Will it be sporty and athletic? Or elegant and
understated? There are no wrong answers.

ENGINES
Even the power is sophisticated.
Raw power is one thing, but refined power is so much more rewarding.
The 5.5-litre V-8 engine in the CL550 4MATIC™ produces 382 hp
at 6,000 rpm and 391 lb-ft of torque at 3,000 rpm. Impressive, indeed.
To reduce engine weight and increase durability, the V-8 engine block is
made of cast aluminium, a construction similar to that of Mercedes-Benz
racecar engines. Innovative aluminium-silicon alloy cylinder sleeves
help reduce friction by up to 50%. Yet with all its power, the engine
remains smooth and efficient, thanks in part to four valves per cylinder,
dual overhead cams (DOHC) and continuously variable intake and exhaust
valve timing. Working in tandem, these technologies manage the air-fuel
mixture to give the engine the power it needs, precisely when it needs it.
The result? The CL550 4MATIC™ goes from 0 to 100 km/h in a
commanding 5.4 seconds.
The CL600’s bi-turbo V-12 engine – one of the world’s most powerful
production car engines – produces 510 hp and a staggering 612 lb-ft of
torque. From a standstill, 100 km/h is reached in a scant 4.6 seconds.
Two turbochargers – one per cylinder bank – increase peak power, and
power is most definitely what this engine is all about. After all, why
have just one turbocharger when you could have two?
To ensure utmost durability and
resilience, every Mercedes-Benz engine
is subjected to rigorous testing.

TR ANSMISSIONS
Mercedes-Benz transforms the transmission.
Our muscular powerhouses are balanced by transmissions of equal
intelligence. The CL550 4MATIC™ is the only car in its class to have a
7G-TRONIC 7-speed automatic transmission as standard equipment.
This wide range of closely spaced gears gives the driver the ideal gear
for virtually any driving situation, and makes for smoother cruising,
more responsive acceleration and even improved fuel efficiency.
To accommodate its massive torque, the CL600 is fitted with a 5-speed
automatic transmission. Its driver-adaptive technology actually learns
how you like to drive and adjusts its shift points accordingly.
For an extra measure of fun, the CL550 4MATIC™ and CL600 feature
Touch Shift, allowing you to manually change gears via shift buttons on
the rear of the steering wheel. You can also choose between “Comfort”
and “Sport” shifting profiles to match your mood. And on our CL63 AMG
and CL65 AMG we’ve included special AMG SPEEDSHIFT programming
to improve the speed of gear changes up to 35% which translates to lively
acceleration when desired.
Select gears via a simple tap of
the DIRECT SELECT shift lever.

HANDLING
Power on an even keel.
To elevate the smoothness and comfort of your ride, the CL-Class features
the self-levelling AIRMATIC air suspension system to keep the ride height
constant at all times, regardless of the load you are carrying. It even
reduces pitch during heavy cornering, allowing you to master any terrain
with total confidence.
To make your ride even more pleasurable, the Adaptive Damping System
(ADS) works in tandem with AIRMATIC, allowing you to choose between
three damper settings at the touch of a button – Auto, Comfort and Sport
– with the latter, adopting a firmer suspension for sporty drivers.
No matter what your personal preference, the system constantly monitors
driving input and road conditions, making necessary adjustments in as
little as 50 milliseconds, to help you stay in control.
The CL600, CL63 AMG and CL65 AMG possess Active Body Control1
(ABC) – one of the industry’s most advanced suspension systems. ABC
provides an excellent balance of ride comfort and handling, virtually
eliminating body roll during cornering. This highly integrated system
uses sensors and electronically controlled high-pressure hydraulics to
dramatically reduce the effects of roll, vibration, pitch, dive and squat
during aggressive driving or evasive manoeuvres
To ensure that the CL-Class is an automobile that grabs the road –
and your imagination – handling is further enhanced by multi-link
suspension that provides exceptional driving poise and control, while
a five-arm rear multi-link design controls rear-wheel movement.
Lightweight, high strength aluminium components add to the extensive
list of reasons this is one of the most beguiling coupes ever crafted.

Experience four seasons of control
with 4MATIC.™
For the first time ever, the 2009 CL550 4MATIC™ comes standard with
our fourth generation, fully automatic, permanent all-wheel drive system.
It works seamlessly with our Electronic Stability Program (ESP®),
enhancing your all-wheel advantage through curves in rain, snow
or even sun.
Our 4MATIC™ technology also incorporates our 4-Wheel Electronic
Traction System (4ETS) which monitors each wheel for the first sign of
slippage, and can individually brake slipping wheels to maintain the
balance of power or reduce excess torque.
By continuously ensuring that power goes to the wheels with more grip,
our 4MATIC™ permanent all-wheel drive system can help get you going
even if only one wheel has traction1. This ensures that you get optimum
control in all seasons and during all road conditions.
1
No system, regardless of how advanced, can overcome physics or correct careless driving.
Please always wear your seat belt. Best performance in snow is obtained with winter tires.
The 4ETS electronic traction
system automatically transfers
the drive to the wheels with
the most grip as required
and thus provides greater
directional stability, even
when the weather or road
conditions are poor.
COMFORT
Not so much an interior as an inner sanctum.
We’ve long been dedicated to creating true drivers’ cars, where the
environment of the driver is sacred space.
Like a first-class bespoke suit, the CL surrounds you with the best materials,
coordinated to perfection. A sensual sanctuary awaits you with our handfitted PASSION leather upholstery highlighted by high-gloss Burl Walnut1
or Poplar 2 wood trim. Understated matte Burl Walnut or elegant Dark Ash
wood trims are also available on the CL550 4MATIC™ and CL600. Our
soft, luxurious designo Alcantara roof liner perfectly complements any
combination. Each finishing touch is carefully thought out, such as the
heated steering wheel for cold mornings and chilly nights3.
Plus, there’s our THERMOTRONIC climate control system to envelop the
cabin with individual heating and cooling controls for driver and front
passenger. Set to the Auto position, our system even monitors sunlight
intensity and seat occupancy, determining which side of the car requires
greater cooling and adjusting the temperature and airflow accordingly.
A final superb addition is the sliding glass sunroof with power-tilt
function for those idyllic summer evening drives. Enjoy.

Pleasure. An engineering principle.
In a CL, feeling good is an exact science. That’s why our front seats
are designed to embrace you, offering unrivalled comfort and security.
Simply touch a few buttons on the COMAND controller to adjust the air
cushions in the seat, back, lumbar and shoulder regions to suit your
precise individual seating preferences and those of your front passenger.
Recognized internationally for their superior orthopaedic design, the
standard seats in a CL are exceptionally customizable and comfortable,
making even the longest road trip a journey in luxury.
In the Drive-Dynamic
multicontour front seats,
seat memory recalls
the exact settings
of the inflatable
pneumatic cushions.
To transform these seats into even more, consider the following options:
adding the Drive-Dynamic multicontour front seats1 for the ultimate in
ergonomics. Thirteen pneumatic chambers may be adjusted in the lumbar,
lower cushion and side-bolster areas. Four levels of massage help fight
fatigue. For added control when cornering, the system continuously
monitors driving conditions and adjusts air chambers within the seat for
added support, helping to counteract lateral G-forces. Three levels of heating
and ventilation are also available for the driver and front passenger seats.
The Climate Comfort front seats2 keep you cool by gently circulating air
through perforations in the seat and backrest.
We’ve also been careful not to slight rear passengers who will enjoy
individual seats with a fold-down centre armrest and over 36" of headroom.
For increased rear passenger comfort, the backs of the front seats in the
CL-Class are contoured, creating more leg and knee room for those in
the rear. Spread out and luxuriate in the ride.

Remarkably sophisticated,
yet surprisingly simple.
Sophistication shouldn’t mean complication. And Mercedes-Benz believes
that clearly laid-out controls make tasks easier and ultimately, driving safer.
With this in mind, we developed the COMAND control and display system.
It utilizes a high-resolution 8" colour screen situated next to the instrument
cluster to relay valuable information clearly and directly in your field of vision.
COMAND is operated by the COMAND controller – a simple push button dial
placed on the front centre arm rest. So you have mastery of seat adjustments,
climate control, the harman/kardon® LOGIC7® surround sound system and the
GPS-based navigation system all at your will. Should you prefer, you can even
direct your CL via LINGUATRONIC voice control instead of using the COMAND
controller. And naturally, the CL-Class features built-in Bluetooth integration.
The sublime simplicity and functionality of the COMAND Controller system,
standard on the CL-Class, is further enhanced by a hard drive-based navigation
system, freeing you from the annoyance of having to ensure the right navigation
DVD or CD is always at hand. An added advantage of this system is that it allows
both map-based and arrow-type navigation on the central 8" colour display,
affording you that extra measure of convenience and security.
To display potential hazards behind you when backing up there’s a highresolution Rear View Camera. Now here’s something even more ingenious
the radar-based Advanced Parking Guidance system1. It helps you when
you’re looking for a parking space, calculates the vehicle width and displays
a successful steering angle to help you reverse in. Plus, the display offers you
a bird’s eye view of the space. So tricky parking isn’t tricky anymore.

Available as part of an option package on the CL550 4MATICTM and CL63 AMG. Standard on the CL600 and CL65 AMG.
DISTRONIC PLUS Adaptive Cruise Control is no substitute for active driving involvement. It does not react to stationary
objects, nor recognize or predict the curvature and lane layout of the road or the movement of vehicles ahead, and can
only apply a maximum of 40% of vehicle braking power. Available as part of an option package on the CL550 4MATICTM
and CL63 AMG. Standard on the CL600 and CL65 AMG.

The intelligent DISTRONIC PLUS
Adaptive Cruise Control2 is
offered only by Mercedes-Benz.
For the CL-Class, this technology
determines whether you’re
closing in on a vehicle too
quickly and starts braking even if
your foot is still on the gas pedal,
to maintain the selected
following distance. If necessary,
DISTRONIC PLUS can bring
you to a complete stop.
COMFORT
E N T E R TA I N M E N T
There’s superb performance inside, too.
The ideal accompaniment for the CL’s dynamics is magnificent
entertainment. The show begins with a harman/kardon® LOGIC7® surround
sound system. It features unparalleled sound quality with six hundred
watts of power, 14 speakers and format capabilities including a PCMCIA
interface for reading and storing hundreds of MP3’s from memory cards
on its internal hard drive. CD, DVD-audio and DTS (digital theatre sound)
formats are transformed into digital masterpieces.
For your added enjoyment and safety, the MP3-compatible 6-disc, single
slot CD changer (including all control buttons) is perfectly positioned
beneath a convenient, one-touch-opening cover on the dashboard console.
You’ll be able to switch from MP3’s to audio DVD’s, CD’s and WMA’s
almost as effortlessly as you can switch gears.
With over 100 premium channels of the best music, sports, news, talk
and entertainment programming on Canadian radio, SIRIUS Satellite Radio1
provides non-stop options for your listening pleasure. And while you’re
tuned in to your favourites, the cabin acoustics are monitored and
automatically adjusted when needed to optimize your audio experience.
The sound system even automatically drops volume if your phone
should ring. Sounds nothing less than perfect.

SAFET Y
Wise men say there are no accidents.
We’d like to prove them right.
The integral safety concept from Mercedes-Benz is the guiding force
behind a series of linked technologies that come into play in the critical
moments before, during and after an accident.
First, the Electronic Stability Program (ESP®) continuously monitors your
vehicle’s motion to help keep it going in your intended direction. If ESP®
detects wheel spin, severe understeer (plowing) or oversteer (fishtailing),
the system can brake individual wheels and reduce engine power to help
bring the vehicle back under control .l
And the CL-Class is equipped with the ADAPTIVE BRAKE system to dry
the brake pads off periodically when the windshield wipers are on. Brake
Assist (BAS) automatically boosts braking power, applying the brakes faster
and harder than average human reaction in case of an impending collision.
Active Bi-Xenon headlamps and cornering lights follow your steering
movements to illuminate potential hazards on curves and in corners.
Plus Night View Assist2 detects objects up to 500 feet away with
state-of-the-art infrared projectors. This system then converts the reflected
light into visible images on the instrument panel’s crystalline display.
Night View Assist is part of our commitment to innovations that literally
change how you see the road.
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. 2Night View Assist does
not replace the use of headlamps and should not be used as the primary visual source for the driver. Available on
the CL550 4MATIC™ and CL63 AMG as part of the Premium Package. Standard on the CL600 and CL65 AMG.

SAFET Y
Technology that expects the unexpected.
Mercedes-Benz is the first and only automaker to offer built-in technology
to protect you in the event of danger.
A revolution in safety, this technology continuously monitors inputs
from the Electronic Stability Program (ESP®) and Brake Assist features.
If circumstances suggest the likelihood of an accident, it will take action
automatically to help better protect vehicle occupants before a possible
collision occurs.
It’s simple: The technology activates in the event of danger, anytime
evasive steering manoeuvres are detected. This revolution in safety can
also adjust the occupied front passenger’s seat to help ensure optimum air
bag and seat belt effectiveness. If severe skidding indicates a rollover is
imminent, the windows and sunroof will automatically close. In vehicles
equipped with Drive-Dynamic multicontour front seats1, the front seat
cushions and seatbacks will also inflate in the event of danger to help
keep occupants situated. When driving conditions return to normal, the
seat belt tensioners will automatically release. Perhaps most amazing,
all this happens in just seconds.

Beneath its velvet glove, an iron fist.
Behind all its beautiful interior appointments, the CL boasts a powerful
combination of strength and innovation. Its advanced construction
employs a series of reinforced crumple zones and advanced technology
that protects you in an accident. Many crucial areas of the CL-Class body
are composed of High-Strength/Low-Alloy and Ultra High-Strength/LowAlloy steel for optimum protection. Sophisticated crumple zones also help
divert some of the force of an impact around your vehicle.
The CL-Class further benefits from the 11-way protection of a 9 air bag
system, including two-stage front air bags and front and rear side-impact
air bags1. This design includes full-length window curtain air bags on the
front and rear windows to help protect all passengers from head injuries
and broken glass in side impacts and rollovers. Working in tandem with the
air bags are Emergency Tensioning Devices (ETDs) and belt force limiters.
If a collision exceeds a preset threshold, the ETDs instantly remove the
slack from your seat belt. Belt force limiters allow some give in the seat
belts to help minimize seat-belt strain.
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.
30
SAFET Y
When every second counts, count on us.
In the urgent moments just after an accident, our built-in technology
helps minimize risk to you and your passengers and aids rescue efforts.
Following a collision, our intelligent system automatically carries out a
range of safety measures: the engine shuts off and hazard signals and
emergency interior lighting switch on, the side windows are lowered
and the doors are 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 should it be necessary to tear off the roof.
And anytime an air bag or Emergency Tensioning Device is activated,
the vehicle engages the standard TeleAid System1, putting your vehicle
in touch with the TeleAid Emergency Response Center, where trained
specialists can assess the situation and alert emergency services.
Mercedes-Benz understands that when it comes to safety, time is
of the essence.

First year’s monitoring provided at no cost. Subscription is required for service to be active thereafter.
TeleAid operates only where cellular and Global Positioning System coverage is available.
PERFORMANCE
AMG
The car Formula One drivers
like to drive to work in.
With so much breathtaking power the dilemma becomes which of our
CL-Class AMG’s to choose? The CL63 AMG boasts the world’s most powerful
naturally-aspirated V-8 production engine which generates 518 hp and
465 lb-ft of torque. It’s combined with a 7G-TRONIC 7-speed automatic
transmission with AMG SPEEDSHIFT programming that offers a choice of
three different shift modes. The CL65 AMG arrives with an AMG 6.0-litre
V-12 bi-turbo engine that delivers a staggering 603 hp and 738 lb-ft
of torque. This kind of torque needs to be harnessed with a 5-speed
automatic transmission with AMG SPEEDSHIFT enhancements.
Each of these AMG jewels offers the AMG sport suspension based on
Active Body Control (ABC), a high-performance braking system with
composite discs at the front and rear, plus twin sliding calipers at the
front. Two chromed dual tailpipes crown the AMG sports exhaust system.
And by now you will have duly noted the sleek exterior styling including
a front apron with enlarged air intakes, side skirts, a rear apron and
AMG 20" 5-spoke alloy wheels with staggered performance tires1.
Of course, everyone you pass will notice, too.

that makes this car so special. You can feel how the powerful engine
drives the vehicle onwards and how the precise steering movements
have a direct effect on your own mood. The special atmosphere that
arises during a drive in a Mercedes-Benz cannot be put down on paper.

MERCEDES - BENZ OWNERSHIP AND WEBSITE
A passion for things done right.
It’s what you expect from Mercedes-Benz. A passion for craftsmanship and attention to detail is what sets Mercedes-Benz
apart from all other manufacturers. This passion drives us to set new standards in design, performance, comfort and safety.
To continually build on the legendary traditions of Mercedes-Benz. And to provide you with an ownership experience
unlike any other, including the valuable benefits described below.
24-hour Roadside Assistance
Wear and tear coverage
Customer service
Trip interruption reimbursement
During the basic warranty
coverage of 48 months and the
time duration of the optional
Extended Limited Warranty,
Mercedes-Benz Roadside
Assistance will be at your service.
We’ll bring you some gas, replace
a flat tire with your spare,
or jumpstart your car. In the
event of a mechanical breakdown,
if attempts by our Roadside
Assistance technician have not
made your vehicle safely operable,
towing service will be provided
to the nearest Mercedes-Benz
dealership. Assistance is available
24 hours a day, every day, to
anyone driving a Mercedes-Benz
anywhere in Canada or the
continental U.S.1
For 24 months or 40,000 km
(whichever comes first) many
items normally considered
“wear and tear”, such as light
bulbs, brake pads and discs,
are covered. If necessary,
an authorized Mercedes-Benz
dealer will replace these parts
at no charge to you.
Owning a Mercedes-Benz means
that when you have a question,
we’re here to help. Customer
Service is open from 9 a.m.
to 5 p.m. EST, Monday through
Friday, and is staffed with
knowledgeable Mercedes-Benz
people who can talk you through
the finer points of working your
car’s audio system — or even
assist you in locating the nearest
Mercedes-Benz dealership.
Just call 1-800-387-0100.
It’s that simple.
If a breakdown covered by your
New Vehicle Limited Warranty
occurs more than 80 km from your
home, leaves your Mercedes-Benz
vehicle inoperable or unsafe
to drive, and requires overnight
repairs, we’ve got you covered.
You will be reimbursed up to
$500 for hotel accommodations
and up to $600 for alternative
travel expenses per incident
while your car is being
repaired at an authorized
Mercedes-Benz dealership.
