How the Shooting Brake came by its name.
Insight
It was a hunting vehicle that gave it its name. We have
English noblemen’s passion for hunting to thank for
the fact that the CLS Shooting Brake was named after it.
These were cultivated sports cars which afforded their owners
the space they required for their sophisticated hobbies –
as well as the luxury to which they were accustomed.
Brake was the name once used in England to describe
carriages which reined in untamed horses’ urge to move.
Because the combinations could be easily damaged in
the process, versatile coaches were used – they also served
to transport a hunting party, along with all the necessary
equipment. Such a vehicle, used when going shooting, was
known as a shooting brake. In the 1960s motorised shooting
brakes came into fashion, above all in Great Britain.
With the CLS Shooting Brake Mercedes-Benz is adding
a new chapter to the story of this exclusive type of vehicle.
And it goes without saying that it is a welcome sight not
just in the counties of England. Its hunting grounds also
include the boulevards of metropolises all over the world.

Insight
The future is red, green and blue.
The face of a car, its front section, conveys an impression of its character, its temperament
and its dynamic credentials: car headlamps communicate this information particularly
effectively when their form resembles that of the human eye.
Until recently, however, the limitations of the technology available to the designers
hindered their efforts to attain this ideal. But a technological revolution has changed
all that: headlamps featuring LEDs (light-emitting diodes). Bright, fast-responding and
able to be controlled individually, LEDs in the colours red, green and blue open up exciting,
unrivalled design possibilities which promise forms which have even greater emotional
appeal and dynamic potential.
It is not just the aesthetic dimension that is enhanced by the new lighting technology.
Visibility for the driver is also improved. This is because the light produced by the LEDs
has a colour temperature of 5500 Kelvin – the same as average daylight. And since
the human eye has adapted itself to sunlight during the course of evolution, our eyes
perceive LED light as particularly pleasant.

rational reasons for choosing the four-door coupé. After all, seduction begins in the mind.
Sensuality and sense have never been closer.

There’s no shame in yielding to temptation as strong as the interior design of the CLS.
The successful blend of high-quality wood, fine leather and a trim with an elegant
silver-chrome surface appeals to all the senses and will satisfy even the most exacting
of design and comfort requirements. In fact, not getting in would be unforgivable.

Mercedes-Benz Intelligent Drive – a new era in mobility.
Our engineers focus on the future every day, the aim being
to implement innovative technology. This aspiration has
resulted in developments that have had a lasting impact on
automotive engineering. In other words, we are working
to make sure that a Mercedes-Benz will always be ahead
of its time.
Mercedes-Benz Intelligent Drive takes things a stage further
by intelligently combining the sensors from various safety
and assistance systems. For us, it’s a logical progression
as the traffic situation has changed. There are more
vehicles on the road, the driver’s job is becoming more
complex and the likelihood of distraction is increasing.
We have developed one groundbreaking solution after
another to get closer to realising our vision of safe and
accident-free driving. Innovative technologies such as the
anticipatory occupant protection system PRE-SAFE® and
DISTRONIC PLUS proximity control first made it onto the
road in a Mercedes-Benz, setting new standards in vehicle
safety. This is because it was the first time that active
and passive systems had been combined – for even better
protection and driving comfort.
To give the driver even more assistance and deal with
the specific situation effectively, we have revolutionised
the car once more: a Mercedes-Benz is now able to
“see” better in all dimensions. It has an even better view
of the road and other road users, and it can react to
what it sees.
We have developed a stereo camera system that is capable
of seeing in three dimensions. Together with further
sensors, this produces a 360° all-round view – a precise
image of the surroundings. If the driving assistance and
safety systems detect danger, they can respond within
a fraction of a second to provide the driver with the right
support for the situation in hand: by braking in dangerous
situations, for example, or by masking out the portion of
the main beam affecting oncoming traffic.
Pioneer of innovation – Mercedes-Benz Intelligent Drive
once again underlines our ambition to lead and points
the way ahead to accident-free and autonomous driving.
The following pages include further information about
our safety and comfort systems. They are available as
standard equipment or optional extras for the CLS-Class,
depending on the model specification; further details
can be found on pages 52–54, 57 and 60–61.

BlueEFFICIENCY – fast forward to tomorrow.
Mercedes-Benz brings the future of motoring to the road
faster. With ever more efficient vehicles and a production
process that wastes fewer and fewer resources. We call
this all-encompassing approach BlueEFFICIENCY. By way
of example, BlueTEC technology for the diesel engine
reduces the nitrogen oxides in the exhaust gases by up to
90%, while the natural-gas drive NGT drastically reduces
5
emissions and fuel costs. Our hybrid models, featuring an
intelligent combination of internal combustion engine and
electric drive, can reduce fuel consumption significantly.
What’s more, electromobility is also moving into the fast
lane with the SLS AMG Coupé Electric Drive. Meanwhile,
technical and aerodynamic enhancements right down
to the last detail make the BlueEFFICIENCY Editions
available in selected model series true champions
of efficiency.
But every CLS-Class model already boasts a raft of
BlueEFFICIENCY features – comprehensive vehicle
optimisation measures that have been adapted
specifically for this model series.

Diesel engines.
Powerful and quiet with remarkably low fuel consumption and emissions: the CLS features the latest diesel technology from Mercedes-Benz.
4-cylinder in-line engine. The qualities of the 4-cylinder
diesel powerplant are very much in tune with the times: it
delivers an impressive maximum torque of 500 Nm. At the
same time, the diesel engine is sparing on fuel, low on
emissions, is quiet and – at 150 kW (204 hp) – particularly
powerful for its displacement class. This is made possible
through a package of cutting-edge technologies. The current
generation of common-rail diesel technology impresses
with its injection pressures of up to 2000 bar, optimised
combustion chambers and particularly fast and precise
piezo injectors. High ignition pressure and two-stage charging
are responsible for the availability of high torque across
the engine speed range. Two Lanchester balancer shafts
ensure the required smooth running. The ECO start/stop
function stops the engine temporarily when the car comes
to a halt, while optimised alternator management ensures
consistent use of the engine’s coasting phases as well as
the braking process in order to recuperate kinetic energy.
Meanwhile the radiator shutter reduces the aerodynamic
drag when the engine requires only moderate cooling. But
that is not all: this model also features integral measures
such as tyres with reduced rolling resistance (depending
on the wheel/tyre combination), intelligently controlled
ancillaries and improved aerodynamics, all of which help
to boost the car’s efficiency sustainably.

V6 engine. The CLS 350 BlueTEC1, CLS 350 BlueTEC 4MATIC1,
CLS 350 CDI and CLS 350 CDI 4MATIC also place the
emphasis on efficiency. BlueTEC stands for measures which
optimise the consumption, plus for the cleaning and aftertreatment of exhaust gases, making this compression-ignition
engine one of the world’s cleanest diesel drive systems.
Amongst the features which have been developed for the
V6 diesel engine is an intake and exhaust system with
optimised inflow and outflow characteristics. The engine in
the CLS 350 BlueTEC1 and CLS 350 BlueTEC 4MATIC1
develops an output of 185 kW (252 hp). The engine in the
CLS 350 CDI and CLS 350 CDI 4MATIC has an output of
195 kW (265 hp) making it the most powerful diesel drive
unit with common-rail technology available for the CLS.
Furthermore, fast and precisely controlled piezo injectors,
a high injection pressure of up to 1600 bar and an optimised
turbocharger help to save fuel. With the engine developing
an immense peak torque of 620 Nm at 1600–2400 rpm,
the result is effortlessly superior pulling power in all
driving situations.

Petrol engines.
The BlueDIRECT petrol engines were developed with the aim of substantially reducing fuel consumption and emissions without compromising on dynamism
and ride comfort. The result: advanced engine technology from Mercedes-Benz.
V6 engine. Humble fuel consumption and correspondingly
low CO2 emissions yet high dynamism – the CLS 350 is
impressively efficient. These advantages are primarily down
to the current-generation direct petrol injection from
Mercedes-Benz, which operates using spray-guided combustion and high-pressure injection by means of piezo
injectors. Maximum output is 225 kW (306 hp), while the
peak torque of 370 Nm is available between 3500 and
5250 rpm. Further factors which help to reduce fuel consumption include the standard-fit ECO start/stop function, an
efficient intake and exhaust system, controlled ancillaries,
intelligent alternator management and consistently applied
lightweight-design principles.
The engine of the CLS 350 model can deliver high-torque power in every driving situation.

V8 engine. Fitted in the CLS 500, the powerplant from
the BlueDIRECT engine family impresses with a combined
fuel-consumption figure of 9.0 litres per 100 kilometres
(CLS Shooting Brake 9.3–9.2 litres per 100 kilometres).
Lightweight design, downsizing to a displacement of
4.7 litres as well as direct petrol injection with extremely fast
and precisely controlled piezo injectors contribute to this,
as do the innovative BlueEFFICIENCY technologies.
The ECO start/stop function can stop the engine temporarily when the car is at a standstill. At the same time, the
CLS 500 and the CLS 500 4MATIC offer extremely impressive
driving dynamics thanks to twin turbochargers and an
intercooler. An output of 300 kW (408 hp) and a peak torque
of 600 Nm, which is on tap from just 1600 rpm, mean
effortlessly superior motoring in almost any situation. The V8
engine boasts impressive power delivery, even at low
engine speeds, not to mention levels of quietness and refinement which are exceptional for an eight-cylinder unit.
The turbochargers ensure that the engine provides high
torque from low revs. This means that, to the driver, the

7G-TRONIC PLUS. The CLS is fitted as standard with
the 7G-TRONIC PLUS 7-speed automatic transmission
and the DIRECT SELECT lever on the steering column. Shift
paddles on the steering wheel enable the driver to influence
the gear changes. Seven forward gears allow optimum revs,
thus reducing fuel consumption. In city traffic especially,
the 7-speed automatic transmission brings about a further
reduction in fuel consumption thanks to the ECO start/stop
function (not for the CLS 350 CDI Coupé or CLS 350 CDI
4MATIC Coupé), which stops the engine automatically when
the car comes to a halt. The electrohydraulic control unit,
together with the engine and transmission software, ensures
exceptional gear-change dynamics and shift quality. The
driver feels this in the car’s more direct response to use
of the accelerator pedal, for example.

The permanent all-wheel drive system 4MATIC provides impressive traction as well as enhanced directional and driving stability. The chassis and the AIRMATIC
air suspension really come into their own on the road, offering a high level of comfort yet also impressive agility.
4MATIC (option). The all-wheel drive system 4MATIC is
always active, so it requires hardly any reaction time to
intervene in unfavourable weather conditions such as rain,
ice or snow. The 4MATIC is supported by the sensor system
of the Electronic Stability Program ESP®1 and the electronic traction system 4ETS. 4ETS brakes spinning wheels
in a targeted manner and thus steers the drive torque to the
wheels with good traction. This makes dynamic moving off
and accelerating easier – above all on a poor road surface.
4ETS renders conventional differential locks superfluous:
the automatic braking pulses make moving off on slippery
surfaces easier as well as enhancing stability during critical
manoeuvres. A further advantage of the system is the fact
that it is hardly any heavier than the rear-wheel drive version
on account of the compact design and the intelligent
choice of materials. The CLS 350 BlueTEC 4MATIC2, CLS 350
CDI 4MATIC and CLS 500 4MATIC are fitted with fourwheel drive.
AIRMATIC (optional for 4- and 6-cylinder models, standard
for 8-cylinder models). AIRMATIC air suspension with
adaptive vibration dampers adapts to the road and driving
conditions, reducing road roar and tyre vibration levels
while enhancing active safety when compared with conventional steel suspension. The driver can select either
comfort-oriented or sporty settings manually. At high speed,
the car is lowered automatically to improve driving stability,
aerodynamics and fuel consumption. The CLS Shooting
Brake has air suspension with level control at the rear
axle as standard.
DIRECT CONTROL suspension (standard for 4- and
6-cylinder models). The suspension with a selective damping
system combines agility with ride comfort. The vibration
dampers adapt automatically in line with the current driving
situation, thus enhancing both damping and the car’s
stability – even on poor road surfaces.
The electronic traction system 4ETS facilitates better traction in difficult conditions, such as when the road surface is wet or affected by ice or snow.

Integral safety concept.
The stated aim of accident-free driving drives us forward. Our integral safety concept brings us a step closer to achieving this aim – a comprehensive approach that can
enhance safety in any situation.
As the inventor of the car we feel that we have a special
responsibility for road safety. This is why we are the first
car manufacturer to have developed an integral safety
concept which seamlessly blends measures to enhance
active and passive safety. The holistic approach is subdivided into four phases and offers safety solutions for every
situation. It includes systems for safe driving which help
to avoid risks by warning you and coming to your aid in
good time. Our unique PRE-SAFE® system1 kicks in
the event of danger and activates preventive measures for
occupant protection. If a collision should still occur in
spite of all the preventive measures, further technologies
ensure protection as needed. We have also borne in
mind the time immediately following an accident and
developed solutions which can help prevent worse and
facilitate rapid help.
Safe driving: ATTENTION ASSIST1 (standard). This
drowsiness-detection system is especially useful on long trips.
At speeds of between 80 and 180 km/h, ATTENTION ASSIST
warns the driver as soon as it detects signs of increasing
inattention or drowsiness. Sensors analyse driving behaviour
and can detect deviations from a previously determined,
individual driver profile.
Safe driving: Night View Assist Plus1 with clear heatinsulating windscreen (option in conjunction with
COMAND Online). The central display shows the entire
main-beam area – which the infrared camera of the Night
View Assist records – as a greyscale image. This means
better driver orientation in situations without main beam,
so motorists can react earlier to people, animals or
objects which are on or alongside the road.
If signs of increased driver drowsiness are detected, ATTENTION ASSIST

Safe driving: Lane Tracking package1 (option). Lane
Keeping Assist1 warns the driver by making the steering
wheel vibrate gently if the car is about to leave its lane
unintentionally. Blind Spot Assist1, meanwhile, uses two
radar sensors in the rear bumper to monitor the blind
spot at speeds above 30 km/h and can warn the driver
against dangerous lane changes. Both systems are also
available separately as individual options.

Facts & colours
Safe driving: Driving Assistance package Plus1 (option).
This package includes DISTRONIC PLUS1 adaptive cruise
control as well as Active Lane Keeping Assist1 and Active
Blind Spot Assist1. DISTRONIC PLUS helps the driver to
maintain the desired distance between the car and the vehicle
in front by braking the car, to a standstill if necessary, and
then accelerating it again. Active Blind Spot Assist monitors
the areas to the left and right beside the car as well as
to the side behind the car. If a vehicle is detected in the
monitored area, a symbol appears in the exterior mirror’s
glass to warn the driver. If the driver misses this warning,
indicates and starts to change lanes despite a further,
acoustic warning signal, the system can intervene actively
via the ESP® control1 and correct the direction of travel
moderately. Active Lane Keeping Assist monitors the lane
markings continuously. If the system detects the vehicle
unintentionally crossing the white markings, it warns the
driver by making the steering wheel vibrate gently. If the
driver fails to respond, the system can also actively brake
the vehicle and prevent it from leaving its lane.
Safe driving: LED tail lights and adaptive brake lights
(standard). The tail lights, brake lights and third brake light
employ LEDs and emphasise the sporty design of the car.
During emergency braking, the adaptive brake lights signal

In the event of danger: PRE-SAFE® system1 (standard).
As a precaution, the PRE-SAFE® system can activate
protective measures designed to prepare the occupants for
a subsequent accident. Measures include reversible
tensioning of the driver and passenger seat belts as well
as automatic closing of the open windows and/or the
optional sliding sunroof – depending on the driving situation
and the vehicle equipment.
The anticipatory occupant protection system PRE-SAFE® can recognise
critical driving situations and initiate preventive measures in order to protect
the occupants.

In the event of danger: PRE-SAFE® Brake1 (part of the
optional Driving Assistance package Plus1). As a three-stage
warning and braking system, the PRE-SAFE® Brake can
intervene prior to an impending rear-end collision: if there
is no reaction from the driver following an initial visual
and acoustic warning, the system can initiate autonomous
partial braking as a tactile warning. If there is still no
reaction from the driver, autonomous emergency braking
can be initiated. The PRE-SAFE® Brake then reacts around
0.6 seconds before an accident deemed unavoidable
and initiates emergency braking to reduce the impact
speed and the severity of the collision.

distance. Furthermore, when the brakes are applied abruptly,
the adaptive brake lights warn the traffic behind.
In the event of danger: Brake Assist BAS PLUS1 (part of the
optional Driving Assistance package Plus). Brake Assist BAS
PLUS in conjunction with the PRE-SAFE® Brake can help to
prevent rear-end collisions. The anticipatory system uses
radar sensors to evaluate driving situations autonomously
and, if needed, provides extra braking power based on the
distance to the vehicle in front and the relative speed. If the
radar sensors detect a potential collision and the driver
applies the brakes in time, BAS PLUS is primed to apply brak-
Seat belts are an essential part of occupant protection
and become even safer through active elements, such as
belt tensioners and belt force limiters. Electromotive belt
tensioners at the front seats react fractions of a second
before a potential accident and thus reduce the loads on
the occupants.
In an accident: restraint systems (standard). Nine airbags
are fitted to protect you and your passengers: the front
airbags – deployed in two stages, depending on the predicted
accident severity – are complemented by sidebags and
pelvisbags for the driver and front passenger as well as by
windowbags. The kneebag can further reduce the forces
exerted on the driver during an accident. Rear sidebags on
both sides are available as an option.

In an accident: NECK-PRO head restraints (standard).
These can be activated for the driver and front passenger
during a rear impact, in accordance with the severity of
the impact: a spring mechanism pulls them forwards and
upwards. This means that the head can be supported
earlier and the load on the cervical vertebrae reduced.
In addition to this the high structural safety of the body
and the highly stable occupant cell with various parallel load
paths in the front and tail end ensure improved load
distribution during an impact, plus special side impact

Measures after an accident. In order to reduce consequential damage and, where necessary, to support the rescue
of the occupants, Mercedes-Benz has developed further
measures. These include the automatic engine cut-off
or the activation of the hazard warning lamps and interior
emergency illumination. The central locking also opens

axle used for the AMG sports suspension enhances lateral
dynamics substantially, while the electronically controlled
damping system on the rear axle allows lightning-fast
changes in the set-up, depending on whether maximum
agility or ultimate ride comfort is required. The AMG RIDE
CONTROL sports suspension also offers an impressive
array of individualisation options, allowing the driver to
select from a range of suspension modes: “Comfort”,
“Sport” and “Sport Plus”.
Furthermore, it gives the driver the option of switching the
ESP®1 dynamic handling control system to “ON”, “SPORTHANDLING” or “OFF” mode. The AMG speed-sensitive sports
steering has an even more direct ratio and, therefore,
offers exemplary steering precision and direct turn-in ability.
The AMG high-performance brake system with 360 mm
brake discs ensures outstanding levels of deceleration and
fade resistance. The front brakes deliver exceptional performance thanks to the same compound technology as that
used in motorsport and large 6-piston callipers.
