In the crash-test hall at Mercedes-Benz every model is tested for its sheet
metal panels and body: we simulate minor and severe collisions, as well
as impact situations from the front, from behind, from the side and from
above. From our results we develop the best-possible impact protection
for our vehicles. Around 700 cars a year are pushed against the wall
in our schedule of precise testing.
But crash tests are only the most spectacular part of the Daimler safety
philosophy. For our integral safety concept blends numerous active and
passive safety systems, to enable you to be even safer and enjoy even more
effortless superiority from your car when out on the road. But above all
to enable a potential accident to be detected in advance and to reduce
the severity of the accident if the worst should come to the worst.

Just between the two of us: do your little guests in the rear also sometimes
forget that they aren’t all alone in the world? When they prepare for their
glittering singing career in stop-and-go traffic, generously distribute
biscuits all over the rear seat, try out one funny face after another
at the pedestrian crossing … i.e. when they’re simply being children?
In the new B-Class it really is easy just to be yourself without being given
any strange looks – simply get in and close the door. Because once inside,

BlueEFFICIENCY – Fast forward to tomorrow
Mercedes-Benz is quicker at getting environmentally
friendly future technologies to where they matter
most: on the road. Today, more than 140
Mercedes-Benz models are available with
BlueEFFICIENCY technologies, all of which help
you reduce your impact on the environment to
a significant degree. Our BlueEFFICIENCY concept
comprises innovations for efficient mobility as well
as optimised processes all the way along the
value chain.
The BlueEFFICIENCY measures – the
Mercedes-Benz efficiency package.
Comprehensive vehicle optimisation measures
save fuel and ease the burden on the environment
with each model featuring a combination of the
most efficient engine with latest-generation
aerodynamic and energy-management measures.
These include the ECO start/stop function,
which is available for the majority of models.
The BlueDIRECT V6 and V8 petrol engines,
24
which feature in many model series, deliver
a much higher power output while reducing fuel
consumption by up to 25%. BlueTEC – the clean
diesel. A modular emission-control system makes
BlueTEC an exceptionally clean diesel technology,
as it not only removes up to 95% of the particulate
matter from the exhaust gases but also reduces
nitrogen oxides by up to 90%. What remains is
mainly water and nitrogen.
HYBRID – combustion engine and electric motor
intelligently combined. The electric motor can
support the combustion engine during acceleration
(boost effect) or act as a generator which charges
the battery during braking (recuperation).
The latest-generation hybrid drive system even
allows all-electric operation up to 35 km/h as well
as efficient, emission-free “gliding”: at speeds
below 160 km/h, the combustion engine is shut
off automatically on the overrun and the drive
system is disengaged. And for the first time,
this technology is available with a diesel engine in a
premium-class vehicle: the E 300 BlueTEC HYBRID1.
Innovative drive systems that break new ground:
E-CELL and F-CELL. We already have a small series
production run of two locally emission-free drive
systems on the road: the A-Class E-CELL draws
its energy straight from two lithium-ion batteries
while the B-Class F-CELL uses hydrogen to generate
power for the electric motor. Our vision
of emission-free driving is also set to become reality
in the luxury class soon in the form of the
F 125! F-CELL Plug-in HYBRID. But that is not all:
under the banner “Design for Environment”, we also
look at a vehicle’s entire lifecycle and work hard to
preserve the environment from the planning stage
right through to recycling. What’s more,
we are involved in the development of alternative
fuels and carry out research in the field of bionics.
Further information about our comprehensive
measures can be found at:

B-Class BlueEFFICIENCY
The B-Class’s holistic approach combines agility and dynamism with leading-edge efficiency technologies as well as innovative
packages of measures aimed at optimising both fuel consumption and emissions.
Every B-Class delivered is a BlueEFFICIENCY
model. What’s more, the International
Environmental Certificate “Design for
Environment” (ISO/TR 14062) attests
to its high environmental compatibility,
from production and usage right through
to end-of-life disposal.

The high-pressure direct injection via precise piezo
injectors and an enhanced combustion process
facilitate virtually total combustion and thus higher
efficiency, which means that the fuel can be used
more efficiently. The variable valve control results in
an optimum cylinder charge level and therefore
consumption benefits, which also come courtesy
of the lower weight, less internal friction plus
ancillaries controlled as required. And last but not
least the petrol engine has the ECO start/stop
function and ECO display fitted as standard.
Both help the driver to reduce consumption
even further. Over and above this the
BlueEFFICIENCY measures such as thermal
management for an engine warm-up phase that
is kept as short as possible, an oil pump controlled
as required plus a particularly efficient alternator.

Transmission
With the 7G-DCT Dual Clutch Transmission, whether you prefer an economical or sporty driving style – the transmission optimally
matches with the engine. It impresses where shift comfort, efficiency and weight optimisation are concerned.
7-speed Dual Clutch Transmission 7G-DCT.
With seven forward gears and one reverse gear
the Dual Clutch Transmission combines comfort,
sportiness and economy in unique fashion.
It comprises two sub-transmissions which each
have their own clutch, with one of these
sub-transmissions supporting the “even” gears
and the other sub-transmission the “odd” ones.
During acceleration or braking the next highest
or next lowest gear is the default setting on
the sub-transmission not in use at the time.
When changing gear there is then a switchover
to the sub-transmission currently not being used.
This means that the gear change takes place without
any delay or loss of traction. Both the clutch
actuation and the gear change occur fully
automatically, which is facilitated by particularly
smooth gear shifting with virtually no interruption.
The preselectable shift programs “Economy”,
“Sport” and “Manual” can be set by the driver
30
via a switch on the centre console. The programs
differ from one another with regard to the shift
characteristics and shift speed. This means that
in “Sport” mode, changing up a gear takes place
at higher engine speeds than is the case in
“Economy” mode, whilst changing down a gear
occurs earlier. The “Manual” mode gives sportily
oriented drivers the option of performing gear
shifting both via the selector lever and also manually,
via the steeringwheel gearshift paddles which are
included in the package too. There is also an
integral ECO start/stop function which reduces
fuel consumption. In addition an ergonomic
DIRECT SELECT lever and the cruise control
functions are part of the equipment that comes with
the 7G-DCT automated Dual Clutch Transmission.
Paddle shift on steering wheel provides the new
B-Class with an extra boost of sportiness.

Integral safety concept
The vision of accident-free driving impels us. With our integral safety concept we are coming closer to achieving this goal – this is a
holistic approach which can increase safety in every situation.
As the inventor of the automobile, Mercedes-Benz
feels a special responsibility for road safety.
This is why we are the first manufacturer to have
developed an integral safety concept employing a
seamless combination of active and passive safety
measures to provide comprehensive protection.
This integral approach is divided into four phases
and offers safety solutions for every situation.
These include systems for safe driving which can
help the driver avoid hazards by providing a timely
warning and assistance. If, despite these measures,
an accident does occur, other technologies provide
the appropriate degree of protection. We have also
considered the time immediately after an accident
and have developed solutions which can help to
prevent consequential damage and enable fast
assistance. A selection of these technologies
for the “Safe driving”, “In an accident” and
“After an accident” phases is presented
on the pages which follow.
32
ATTENTION ASSIST. This innovative drowsiness
detection system can be especially useful on long
trips. At speeds of between 80 and 180 km/h,
ATTENTION ASSIST warns the driver as soon as it
detects typical signs of drowsiness or inattention.
What lies behind this are sensors which analyse
steering behaviour and can detect deviations from
a previously determined, individual driver profile.
If ATTENTION ASSIST detects signs of driver drowsiness
or inattention, it recommends taking a break
Safe driving: ADAPTIVE BRAKE. A driving dynamics
control system with a modular structure. It offers
additional safety and comfort functions alongside
a base function such as the Anti-lock Braking
System (ABS). It improves the vehicle’s performance
with regard to traction, handling safety and
operating comfort and helps the driver to master
critical braking manoeuvres. The “dry braking”
function helps to remove the film of water from
the brake discs – the brake’s response time and
therefore the stopping distance can thus be
reduced. “Priming” ensures that the brake pads are
placed against the brake discs as soon as the driver
takes their foot off the accelerator pedal quickly.
The time gained shortens the response time of the
brakes. When moving off on an incline unintended
rolling back is prevented during the space of time
when the foot is moving from the brake pedal to the
accelerator. If you actuate the brake pedal a second
time whilst the vehicle is stationary, the HOLD
function keeps the vehicle at a standstill, even if you
take your foot away from the brake pedal.
ESP®. The Electronic Stability Program (ESP®) helps
to prevent the vehicle from skidding e.g. on slippery
roads or when undertaking sudden changes of
direction. By braking specific individual wheels,
ESP reduces the tendency to either over
or understeer, thus improving driving.
Anti-lock Braking System (ABS). The Anti-lock
Braking System (ABS) enhances driving safety,
especially when braking for hazards. During hard
braking the Anti-lock Braking System reduces wheel
lock-up by modulating the braking pressure of the
individual wheels. The Anti-lock Braking System offers
greater control over the vehicle in hazardous
situations, e.g. during evasive manoeuvres or when
braking on wet roads. It enables shorter braking
distance, hence enhancing driving safety.
Hill Start Assist with Hold function. Hill Start
Assist with Hold function makes it easier to move off
on inclines. The brake pressure is maintained for
approx. two seconds after the service brake is
released. The Hill Start Assist with Hold function
is automatically activated from approx. 4% inclines
in forward and in reverse gear. Maintenance of the
braking pressure facilitates hill starting since the
driver can find the biting point without having to use
the handbrake & prevents the car from rolling away.
Acceleration Skid Control (ASR). The Acceleration
Skid Control (ASR) ensures that the wheels do not
skid when accelerating. Especially when moving off
on snow, ice and loose chippings, the Acceleration
Skid Control prevents individual wheels from spinning
and the vehicle from breaking out to the side. The
Acceleration Skid Control (ASR) makes it easier to
move off on snow, ice and loose chippings & reduces
the vehicle’s sideways breakout when moving off.
Brake Assist (BAS). Brake Assist detects
emergency braking situations based on the speed
with which the brake pedal is pressed, and assists
the driver by increasing the brake pressure.
The seven airbags fitted as standard are part of the restraint
systems which are decisive in helping to mitigate the
consequences of accidents
Safety
33
Tyre pressure loss warning system.
The tyre pressure loss warning system detects
a loss of pressure based on differences
in the speed of the four road wheels, and warns
the driver accordingly. The tyre pressure loss
warning system helps to prevent irreparable tyre
damage caused by driving with flat tyres.
Restraint systems: In the event of an accident.
Mercedes-Benz ensures that the 3-point seat
belts, belt force limiters and airbags are all
coordinated optimally to minimise any injuries.
In addition to the high-strength bodyshell structure
and the highly stable occupant cell, seven
standard-fit airbags contribute towards optimum
34
protection of the vehicle occupants: front airbags,
which can be deployed in two stages, depending
on the impact severity and accident characteristics,
windowbags between the A- and C-pillars and
sidebags for the driver and front passenger.
The kneebag can further reduce the forces exerted
on the driver during an accident. If the crash
sensors detect an accident, the seat belts are
automatically tensioned in an instant to secure
the occupants in their seats. The belt force limiters,
in turn, reduce the tension where appropriate
in order to reduce the load on the thorax.
Post-accident measures. To mitigate consequential
damage and, if necessary, assist with occupant
rescue, Mercedes-Benz has developed further
measures such as automatic engine shut-off and
activation of the hazard warning lights and
emergency interior lighting. The central locking
opens automatically too, and crash joints between
the door and wing make it easier to open the doors
after a frontal impact.

Panoramic Sunroof
The Panoramic Sunroof opens up a whole new perspective and allows light to flood into the interior, giving a hint of that special
open-air feeling.
Panoramic Sunroof. The panoramic glass sunroof
offers additional benefits on top of those available
with the regular sliding sunroof. The size of the
opening is around 33% larger than conventional
sliding sunroofs, and the transparent surface
area it creates is double the size of that available
with conventional sliding glass sunroofs.
The overall effect is a light cheerful feel with
the sunblinds providing optimal protection against
direct sunlight. And moreover, it’s easy to operate.
Thanks to the multifunction switch in the overhead
control panel.

backrests can be folded in a ratio of 1/3 : 2/3,
giving a stowage compartment of up to
1545 litres with a 1.57-metre-long, virtually
flat load compartment area. When using the
B-Class as a 5-seater the load compartment
capacity is 486 litres. These functions are rounded
off by other practical features: a load compartment
cover plus bag hooks and four load retainers
for securing luggage.

Light-Alloy Wheels
Mercedes-Benz light-alloy wheels Mercedes-Benz
light-alloy wheels not only boost your vehicle’s looks,
they also offer the ultimate in safety. All wheels are
precision-tailored to your vehicle in terms of load
profile and dimensions. Before your light-alloy
wheels are allowed to accompany you safely on your
travels, they are subjected to an extensive
development and testing programme. Each wheel
design has to pass a variety of endurance tests,
based on exacting Mercedes-Benz guidelines, all of
which exceed statutory requirements. These include
special test routines which simulate real challenges
on the road and material tests in cutting-edge x-ray
facilities. Only once all of the tests have been
passed may the wheels be included in the range of
genuine Mercedes-Benz light-alloy wheels. Add an
individual touch to your vehicle with a tested and
approved genuine Mercedes-Benz light-alloy wheel
and head for the open road.
