The personal rewards of striving to be the best are even more meaningful in the development of young people than they are for automobiles. Instilling the
values of leadership, goal -setting, discipline and teamwork in youth is an investment in everyone’s future. It’s why Mercedes-Benz USA is collaborating with
the Laureus Sport for Good Foundation, with an ongoing commitment to train and place hundreds of coaches for after-school and in-school sports programs
in communities around the country. Sports offer kids more than the chance to be physically active and have fun. It’s also an opportunity to have a mentor who
can guide them, help them learn how to deal with major life issues, and help them grow stronger not just physically but in their character. As a Mercedes-Benz
driver, you become a part of this effort to give hundreds of thousands of kids a better life today, and all of us a brighter tomorrow.

C‑Class Coupes

The magic that comes out of a Mercedes-AMG is irrefutable proof of what goes into it.
From half a century of competition comes a triple threat of coupes — one with the most power in its class, one with even more.
The AMG C 43, C 63 and C 63 S Coupes carry more than just the racing spirit of Mercedes-AMG. Beneath their seductive bodies you’ll find
track-born technologies from friction-reducing NANOSLIDE® cylinder walls to a new AMG Track Pace App.22 The C 43’s 362‑hp biturbo V6,
9‑speed and Performance 4matic® all-wheel drive are all infused with AMG know-how. Packing handcrafted biturbo V8s under their twinpower-dome hoods, the 469‑hp C 63 and 503‑hp C 63 S are the two most powerful cars in their competitive set.23 AMG® wheels1 from 18"
or 19" with options up to 20", team up with distinctive details inside and out, to make each AMG coupe as strong visually as it is physically.

Lower-aspect-ratio tires and accompanying wheels provide substantially increased treadwear,
increased tire noise and reduced ride comfort. Serious wheel and tire damage may occur if
the vehicle is operated on rough or damaged road surfaces or upon encountering road debris
or obstacles. These tires are not designed for use on snow and ice. Winter tires mounted on
appropriately sized and approved wheels are recommended for driving in those conditions.
Vehicles are not provided with a spare tire. Vehicles not equipped with Extended Mobility tires
are provided with TIREFIT sealant and a portable air pump.
The roll bar system is designed to enhance the level of rollover protection compared to a vehicle
without one. No system, regardless of how advanced, can eliminate the chance of injury in an
accident. Please always wear your seat belt.
Mercedes me and Mercedes-Benz mbrace® services operate only where cellular and GPS
satellite signals are available, which are provided by third parties and not within the control
of Mercedes-Benz USA, LLC. Five years of the mbrace Connect package are included with
new-vehicle sales and leases at an authorized Mercedes-Benz dealer. Subscriber Agreement is
required for service to be active. Secure, Concierge and Entertain services require acceptance
of the complimentary mbrace Connect services, and paid subscriptions after their trial periods.
Some services are only available on select vehicles. Your PIN is required to use certain services.
WiFi requires Multimedia Package. WiFi and streaming apps require an mbrace Entertain
subscription. Connection may be limited by cellular signal. Apps may be introduced, updated or
deleted at varying dates, and may also require a vehicle software update. Some services may
be limited or restricted in some areas. Driver is responsible for complying with traffic and other
laws. Mobile app is compatible with Apple iPhone® models running iOS 7.0 or later, and Androidbased phones running OS 2.3 or later. See your dealer or MBUSA.com/mercedesme for details.
No system, regardless of how advanced, can overcome the laws of physics or correct careless
driving. Please always wear your seat belt. Performance is limited by available traction, which
snow, ice and other conditions can affect. Always drive carefully, consistent with conditions.
Best performance in snow is obtained with winter tires.

Even the most advanced safety systems may not be sufficient to avoid an accident. Please refer
to more detailed information on specific systems elsewhere in this brochure, at MBUSA.com,
and in the vehicle’s Operator’s Manual. Some systems may be optional.
6 Stated rates of acceleration are estimated based upon manufacturer’s track results and may
vary depending on model, environmental and road surface conditions, driving style, elevation
and vehicle load.
7 2018 EPA estimated fuel economy (city/highway mpg) is 24/33 for the C 300 Sedan, 23/32 for
the C 300 4matic Sedan, 22/30 for the C 300 and C 300 4matic Coupes, 22/29 for the C 300
and C 300 4matic Cabriolets, and 45/61 MPGe for the C 350e. For other models, please see
your dealer or MBUSA.com. Compare the estimated mpg to the estimated mpg of other vehicles.
You may get different mileage depending on how fast you drive, weather conditions and trip
length. C 350e highway estimate is with a fully charged battery.
8 Charging stations must be J1772-compatible. See your dealer for more information.
9 While the navigation system provides directional assistance, the driver must remain focused on
safe driving behavior, including paying attention to traffic and street signs. The driver should
utilize the system’s audio cues while driving and should only consult the map or visual displays
once the vehicle has been stopped in a safe place. Maps do not cover all areas or all routes
within an area. Online features require a subscription and one or more mbrace Packages.
10 Delayed availability. See your dealer. Apple CarPlay™ is a product of Apple Inc. Android Auto

solely by their providers. Connection to apps and streaming services may be limited by the

and restrictions in user’s wireless plan. Vehicle’s factory audio/information interface, including
COMAND® navigation and the apps of Mercedes-Benz mbrace,® may not be used simultaneously
with Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. When Apple CarPlay or Android Auto is in use, the steeringwheel voice control button accesses Siri® or Google voice recognition software for voice commands.

Fees and taxes apply. To cancel you must call SiriusXM at 1‑866‑635‑2349. See SiriusXM Customer
Agreement for complete terms at siriusxm.com. All fees and programming subject to change.
Unsecured cargo can become hazardous in a collision. Always secure cargo using the floormounted tie-downs.
COLLISION PREVENTION ASSIST PLUS may not be sufficient to avoid an accident. It does not
react to certain stationary objects, nor recognize or predict the curvature and/or lane layout of
the road or every movement of vehicles ahead. It is the driver’s responsibility at all times to be
attentive to traffic and road conditions, and to provide the steering, braking and other driving
inputs necessary to retain control of the vehicle. Drivers are cautioned not to wait for the system’s
alerts before braking, as that may not afford sufficient time and distance to brake safely. See
Operator’s Manual for system’s operating speeds and additional information and warnings.
Driving while drowsy or distracted is dangerous and must be avoided. ATTENTION ASSIST® and Lane
Keeping Assist are warning systems only. ATTENTION ASSIST, Lane Keeping Assist and Active Lane
Keeping Assist cannot be relied on to avoid an accident or serious injury. They may not be sufficient
to alert a fatigued, distracted or inattentive driver, and cannot override the laws of physics. See
Operator’s Manual for system’s operating speeds and additional information and warnings.
Rearview camera and Surround View System do not audibly notify driver of nearby objects and
is not a substitute for actively checking around the vehicle for any obstacles or people. Images
displayed may be limited by camera field of view, weather, lighting conditions and the presence
of dirt, ice or snow on the cameras.
Blind Spot Assist is a warning system only. Blind Spot Assist and Active Blind Spot Assist may
not be sufficient to avoid all accidents involving vehicles in your blind spot and does not estimate
the speed of approaching vehicles. It should not be used as a substitute for driver awareness
and checking of surrounding traffic conditions. See Operator’s Manual for system’s operating
speeds and additional information and warnings.
17 Drivers are cautioned not to wait for the system’s alerts before braking, as that may not afford
sufficient time and distance to brake safely. Braking effectiveness also depends on proper brake
maintenance, and tire and road conditions.
18 System cannot prevent a collision, and does not alert the driver of an impending collision or
system activation. It does not intervene if vehicle is backing up, and does not apply the brakes if
the driver is accelerating or if Active Parking Assist is operating.
19 DISTRONIC PLUS® adaptive cruise control is no substitute for active driving involvement. It does
not adapt cruising speed in response to stationary objects, nor does it predict the curvature and
lane layout of the road ahead or the movement of vehicles ahead. It is the driver’s responsibility
at all times to be attentive to traffic and road conditions, and to provide the steering, braking and
other driving inputs necessary to retain control of the vehicle. Drivers are cautioned not to wait for
the system’s alerts before braking, as that may not afford sufficient time and distance to brake safely.
20 Active Parking Assist is not a substitute for driver attention to the immediate surroundings,
as well as any people, animals or vehicles in or approaching the vehicle’s maneuvering range.
System cannot determine if a space is legally available or of a suitable surface for parking. See
Operator’s Manual for additional information, tips and warnings.
21 The carbon-ceramic brakes are designed expressly for high-performance braking. It is a characteristic
of their materials and design that brake noise/squeal may result, along with differing brake pedal
feel at lower brake temperatures compared to higher operating temperatures.
22 The AMG Track Pace app is compatible with Apple iPhone.® iOS update may be required.
23 Competitive claims are based on manufacturer-published data available at time of publication.
May include 2017 models.
24 Rear seats cannot be occupied with windblocker installed.
25 Steering wheel options may not be ordered together. If heated steering wheel is ordered in
combination with AMG Line, flat-bottom sport steering wheel is excluded from package. Burl
Walnut wood/leather steering wheel available only with Burl Walnut interior trim.
26 See your dealer or MBUSA.com for interior colors that include red or silver seat belts as standard.
27 designo interior packages include additional items based on leather color, require heated and/
or ventilated front seats, and may require additional options and interior wood trim. Please see
your dealer or MBUSA.com for details.
