And feel the road and the lightn From road to memory Our cars have epitomised luxurious mobility since the beginning of the 20th century. And they have thrilled generations of motorists who have style and great expectations. The direct line of ancestors of the S - Class began in 1951 when the 6 - cylinder Mercedes - Benz 220 model appeared at the first International Motor Show in Frankfurt. Even this very first model boasted a high standard of equipment and delivered effortlessly superior performance. Launched in 1972, the W 116 was the first S - Class, as it became known, and the official Mercedes - Benz representative in the luxury segment. Outstanding comfort, innovative technology and comprehensive safety devices have been characteristic traits of the luxury saloon ever since. Crumple zones, ABS, airbags and ESP  – they are all trailblazing innovations in the history of automotive development. And they all began life in the S - Class. Before finding their way into many other models and vehicle categories and, therefore, into people’s minds and the history books. Inspired The S - Class is the benchmark for future mobility. Just as it has been for generations. Featuring innovations aimed at enhancing comfort, safety and environmental compatibility, it has become a role model and a showcase car for the entire automotive industry. The ninth generation also lives up to this billing : it includes the world’s first standard - production hybrid vehicle with a lithium - ion battery as well as fuel consumptionand emission - reducing measures across the whole range, to name but S - Class two reasons. Furthermore, numerous sensors and intelligent electronic systems set milestones in terms of occupant protection, driving assistance and entertainment. Last but by no means least, its sophisticated, terse appearance underlines its role on the road with effortless superiority. Like its forebears, the latest S - Class leaves no doubt : when it comes to mobility, it is the one true icon.

The same benchmark will also apply to mobility in future. Reducing fuel consumption and CO2 emissions for the S - Class and developing an intelligent hybrid engine is anything but idealism – it is progress. → Page 38 7 Grace|Making light of every road Each route has its own character. Sometimes they are generous, inviting, imposing. Sometimes they are twisting, lonely and narrow. The thing that matters most, however, is how they are negotiated. The best approach : choose a car that lets you stay – and look – relaxed and in control. Meditation|Concentrated relaxation Steady breathing, a calm pulse and clear thoughts are inner signs of composure. Vital signs on the outside include assistance systems to provide the necessary serenity. By taking away much of the risk. Just as nearly a hundred sensors and numerous electronic systems in the S - Class do for you whilst you are driving. → Page 48 Seats|The most comfortable way to travel As humans learned to walk on two legs, the body evolved into the perfect walking machine. The dawn of the modern age saw these upright humans turn into sedentary creatures, which means that it is all the more important to make this seated posture as natural as possible. With features such as ergonomic, active seats. → Page 62 Touring|The world’s your oyster The old saying about a trip into the blue could have its origins in billowing fields of light - blue flax in full bloom. When the phrase was born, people were still chauffeured by a single horsepower. To be this relaxed – albeit more brisk – on the road today, there is the S - Class. It sets new safety standards. Thanks to assistance systems which help you to observe the surroundings and notice that which would normally go unnoticed. → Pages 48, 58 Emotions|One of the best ingredients of all “I feel, therefore I am” – in times such as these, in which even vehicles are part of the thinking process, it is about more than this : you also have to be touched. As by the shape, structure and strong looks of the S - Class. Even the most intelligent of cars should always speak initially to the heart. Etiquette|An instinctive feeling for the road You’d think that power was the most important thing when moving heavy loads. Then you place your hands on the steering wheel. And feel the road and the lightness with which the several hundred kilowatts engulf you. Then you realise : the S - Class is driven by culture more than anything else. → Page 40, 42 Calm|The whisper of the tarmac What do we hear when we hear nothing ? Ourselves, our natural frequency, the blood in our veins ? There is no better place than the S - Class to experience this. TV and driving don’t normally mix. Or do they ? A cinema screen on one side and a navigation display on the other ? A single monitor on which two people can watch two completely different things at the same time even though they are sitting side by side ? Sounds like a dream of the future. But it is here now. And it is called SPLITVIEW. An innovative technology used in the S - Class. Bringing a whole new dimension to on - screen presentation. Insight SPLITVIEW allows the driver and front passenger to watch two feeds from different media at the same time – with a full screen diagonal – as if each had their own monitor. So the driver can view the route recommended by the navigation system, while the front passenger can lose themselves in the infinite beyond of a galaxy far, far away. 29 Those who dare Less What do you get when the energy of millions of ions, rather than inert metal, is used as a power source ? An extremely ecofriendly drive system. We speak from experience, since Mercedes - Benz was the world’s first manufacturer to begin installing a lithium - ion battery in a series-production car – the S 400 HYBRID. Dispensing with conventional technology in this way benefits both the S - Class and its drivers : the innovative battery is much smaller than before, meaning that even the hybrid variant boasts the impressive boot capacity for which the S - Class is renowned. What’s more, the win means more energy density in the lithium - ion batteries is higher than in conventional nickel - cadmium batteries, for example. So the battery condenses greater power reserves within a small space yet weighs less, all of which has a positive effect on fuel consumption. And lower fuel consumption means fewer emissions – another benefit for the environment. If all this seems a little too rational, we are pleased to announce that, thanks to its intelligent drive system, the S 400 HYBRID with a lithium - ion battery is not only sensible but also extremely powerful and dynamic. 80 CDI Rated torque ( Nm at rpm ) 500 / 1600 –1800 Acceleration 0 –100 km / h m / h ) ( long - wheelbase version ) 240 ( 240 ) Tyre size front / rear 235 / 55 R 17 Ra ion LED Light package Arrangement / number of cylinders V6 7G - TRONIC PL RMATIC air suspension Rated output ( kW at rpm ) 173 / 3600 Active Body Cont que ( Nm at rpm ) 530 / 2800 – 4800 4MATIC all - wheel drive Acceleration 0 – 10 rox.

This is why, as early as the end of 2010, we will be able to offer you over 85 Mercedes-Benz models which place far less of a burden on the environment. 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. This package consists of comprehensive vehicle optimisations designed to ease the burden on the environment. Each model combines the most efficient engine with latest-generation, intelligent aerodynamic and energy-management measures. Such measures include the ECO start/stop function, which is being made available for an increasing number of models. The new BlueDIRECT V6 and V8 petrol engines in the S-Class, CL-Class and CLS-Class, for example, reduce fuel consumption by up to 24% yet have a much higher power output. BlueTEC – the clean diesel. A modular emissioncontrol system makes BlueTEC an exceptionally clean diesel technology. As well as removing 95% of the particulate, it also reduces nitrogen oxides by up to 90%. All that remains is essentially water and harmless nitrogen. HYBRID – the intelligent combination of petrol and electric drive. Here the electric motor can be used both for accelerating and for recuperating braking energy, which is stored in the battery. What’s more, the ECU shuts off the petrol engine when the speed falls below 15 km/h. In this way, a HYBRID can reduce fuel consumption by up to 20%. BlueTEC HYBRID – clean diesel combined with electric drive. It marries the benefits of the HYBRID with those of BlueTEC: during braking, the kinetic energy is converted into electrical energy, which can be re-used when required. At the same time, the BlueTEC technology cleans the exhaust gases and removes many of the pollutants. All of which makes the economical diesel powerplant even more efficient and clean. Innovative drive systems that break new ground: E-CELL and F-CELL. We have developed two locally emission-free drive systems which have been produced on a small scale since 2010. The B-Class F-CELL uses hydrogen to produce power for the electric motor, while the A-Class E-CELL draws its energy directly from two lithium-ion batteries. 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. In addition, we are heavily involved in the development of alternative fuels and carry out research in the field of bionics.

Aerodynamic measures, tyres with optimised rolling resistance and an intelligent energy - management system help to reduce fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. Energy is used efficiently, saved wherever possible and – as in the case of the S 400 HYBRID – stored and fed back into the system at another point. The S 350 BlueTEC model boasts one of 5 the cleanest diesel technologies in the world, while the S 400 HYBRID achieves emission figures that easily undercut the levels demanded by the world’s most stringent standards. 1 Specially designed tyres for optimised rolling resistance 2 Euro 5 certification for all petrol engines 3 S 400 HYBRID with V6 petrol engine and electric motor as well as recuperative braking system ( for recovering braking energy ) and ECO start / stop function 4 6 3 2 4 Aerodynamic exterior - mirror housings 5 Energy - saving control of auxiliary units ( power steering pump as well as oil and water pumps ) 7 8 6 Car always starts with transmission in “C” mode ( Comfort ) 7 Sealed joints on the headlamps for improved aerodynamics 8 S 350 BlueTEC has one of the world’s cleanest diesel technologies ( corresponds to Euro 6 emissions standard ) 1 The measures vary depending on model and market 37 38 Drive system & chassis Safety | Page 48 – 51 Comfort | Page 52 – 63 Model variants | Page 64 – 71 S 400 HYBRID Ecofriendly motoring with a powerful hybrid drive system comprising a 6 - cylinder petrol engine backed by an electric motor The S 400 HYBRID1 is driven by a powerful 6 - cylinder petrol engine backed by a high - torque electric motor. In addition, optimised aerodynamics, recuperation of kinetic energy, the ECO start / stop function and low rolling - resistance tyres make it one the most efficient cars in the luxury class. And it offers the familiar high level of ride comfort, the full boot capacity, a luxurious interior atmosphere and even greater agility. This is ensured by the boost function, which briefly concentrates the power of both drive units. At the heart of the S 400 HYBRID is an extremely light and small hybrid module with a peak torque of 160 Nm, which supports the 6 - cylinder petrol engine. Optimum interaction between the internal combustion engine and the electric module is controlled by the power electronics. Energy flow display in the S 400 HYBRID model A specially developed lithium - ion battery drives the hybrid module – in the S 400 HYBRID this was the very first time this combination was implemented in a series - production car. This battery is supplied by the recuperative braking system when braking. The current flow of energy from the electric motor or internal combustion engine is shown on a hybrid display in the instrument cluster and on the COMAND display. At traffic lights, for example, the ECO start / stop function switches off the internal combustion engine in the S - Class. Stored electrical energy is then used to restart the car as normal. 1 Not available as right - hand - drive version AMG | Page 72 – 77 1 Equipment & appointments | Page 78 – 95 Services | Page 96 – 97 Facts & colours | Page 98 – 101 39 The efficiency - optimised 6 - cylinder petrol engine with a displacement of 3.5 litres 2 The hybrid module, in the shape of a compact electric motor, is located between the petrol engine and the automatic 4 5 transmission 3 The powerful lithium - ion battery has a high energy density yet its dimensions are compact and it is light in weight 4 The power electronics coordinate the intelligent and efficient work performed by the petrol engine and electric drive system 5 The 7G - TRONIC PLUS automatic transmission ensures 3 6 2 imperceptible switching between the power sources and acceleration without interruption of tractive power 6 7 Recuperative braking system : when braking, the electric motor becomes a generator and produces electrical current for the lithium - ion battery 7 Low rolling - resistance tyres for comfortable and economical 1 motoring 8 The energy flow and drive system battery charge level are indicated constantly on the hybrid display The hybrid components of the S 400 HYBRID in detail 8 40 Drive system & chassis Safety | Page 48 – 51 Comfort | Page 52 – 63 Model variants | Page 64 – 71 Diesel engines The consumption - and emission - optimised diesel engines for the S - Class are characterised by power, refinement and efficiency 4 - cylinder diesel engine.

Many of our V6 and V8 engines, as well as the 4 - cylinder diesel engine in the S 250, are equipped with the 7G - TRONIC PLUS enhanced 7 - speed automatic transmission as standard. Both transmission systems are controlled by means of the DIRECT SELECT lever on the steering column. With seven forward gears, these systems ensure an optimum engine speed all the time, thus reducing fuel consumption. Short and smooth gear changesmake for supreme ease of shifting and low noise levels. A set – up switch enables the driver The DIRECT SELECT lever on the steering wheel to choose from three modes: Manual, Comfort or Sport. Manual gearshifts are performed using steering - wheel gearshift paddles – similar to those used in motorsport. 5 - speed automatic transmission. This transmission is the perfect complement to the twelve - cylinder engine’s characteristics. Gear changes are so fast and smooth that they are barely perceptible, while just the right amount of power is delivered for every situation. A manual gearshift option is available if required. AMG | Page 72 – 77 Equipment & appointments | Page 78 – 95 Services | Page 96 – 97 The 7G - TRONIC PLUS : the result of more than 40 years of experience in the development of automatic transmissions Facts & colours | Page 98 – 101 45 46 Drive system & chassis Safety | Page 48 – 51 Comfort | Page 52 – 63 Model variants | Page 64 – 71 Chassis and suspension Comfort is omnipresent – thanks to precision - tuned chassis and suspension components as well as powerful all - wheel drive The AIRMATIC air suspension, fitted as standard, and Active Body Control ( ABC ) with crosswind stabilisation make for high levels of comfort and agility as they adjust the chassis and suspension settings to suit the current situation with minimum fuss. Sporty suspension settings are selected for dynamic driving, while a more comfort oriented setting is adopted for leisurely cruising. ABC uses microprocessor - controlled suspension struts to compensate for the car body’s lift, pitch and roll : it counteracts these movements by selectively raising or lowering the chassis. The same process is employed to reduce body movements when pulling away and braking. Hence ABC ensures best - possible roadholding, agility, dynamism and an effortlessly superior driving feel in virtually every handling situation. Crosswind stabilisation, meanwhile, can compensate for the effect of crosswinds, by distributing the wheel load, and helps to maintain directional stability, even in stormy weather. ABC with crosswind stabilisation is fitted as standard for the S 600 and AMG models and as an optional extra for the S 500 BlueEFFICIENCY. AIRMATIC air suspension helps to maintain a constant ground ABC ensures an extremely agile and dynamic driving feel, while crosswind stabilisation improves handling by actively influencing clearance, even if the car is carrying a heavy load the wheel forces AMG | Page 72 – 77 Equipment & appointments | Page 78 – 95 4MATIC. The permanent all - wheel - drive system distributes the engine power to both axles at a fixed ratio of 45% to 55% – equalling 100% traction. To this end, 4MATIC uses the Electronic Stability Program ESP  and the electronic traction system 4ETS. The latter enables controlled braking of spinning wheels and, as a consequence, increases the drive torque at the wheels offering Services | Page 96 – 97 good traction, allowing plenty of power to be planted on the road when moving off and when accelerating, especially on poor road surfaces. Automatic braking pulses make it easier to move off on slippery surfaces 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 The electronic traction system 4ETS automatically directs the drive torque to the wheels with sufficient grip Facts & colours | Page 98 – 101 version on account of the compact design, intelligent choice of materials and high level of efficiency. 4MATIC is only available in conjunction with the 7G - TRONIC PLUS automatic transmission, meaning that it is not an option for the 12 - cylinder or AMG models. It is not available for the S 400 HYBRID, either. 47 48 Drive system & chassis | Page 36 – 47 Safety Comfort | Page 52 – 63 Model variants | Page 64 – 71 Safe driving Assistance systems help to detect and defuse critical situations and, therefore, prevent accidents wherever possible ATTENTION ASSIST ( standard )1. This new drowsiness detection system is useful on long trips. At speeds of between 80 and 180 km / h, ATTENTION ASSIST can warn the driver as soon as it detects signs of inattention. To this end, several sensors analyse driving behaviour on a permanent basis and detect typical signs of drowsiness, such as involuntary steering movements. Adaptive Highbeam Assist ( standard ). Adaptive Highbeam Assist ensures excellent visibility at night time too without dazzling oncoming traffic or vehicles in front.
