Insight
Inspiration from high above
A classic, pale yellow manor house on the shore of Lake
Como with a sign bearing the name “Villa Salazar”. What
looks like an aristocratic retreat actually houses the
Mercedes-Benz Advanced Design Studio – speciality interior
design. Around 20 designers, modellers and engineers
have been working here since 1998, leaving no stone
unturned in their quest to make future Mercedes models
as comfortable and enjoyable as possible for the driver
and passengers. It is the perfect environment for our aesthetes: the Como – Milan – Turin triangle is the hub of
the Italian fashion and leather industry, where haute couture
meets traditional craftsmanship. For the creative teams,
this means exciting experiments with new forms, materials
and finishes – and new ideas. And if they need inspiration,
they can just look above and around them, as the villa’s
ceilings and walls are painted with lavish, baroque frescos.
The resulting designs – such as the interior of the C-Class
– are timelessly elegant and comfortable, with every last
detail perfectly conceived.

BlueEFFICIENCY – fast forward to tomorrow
We are quicker at getting environmentally friendly future
technologies to where they matter most: on the road. As the
inventor of the motor car, Mercedes-Benz has a special
responsibility – one we have undertaken with all our might
for many years. With the exception of the G-Class and
R-Class, all of our 4, 6 and 8-cylinder models now include
BlueEFFICIENCY measures that help to reduce your impact
on the environment significantly – without compromising
on safety, comfort or driving pleasure.
Our BlueEFFICIENCY concept comprises innovations for
efficient mobility as well as optimised processes all the way
along the value chain. They involve different approaches,
but they all have a common goal: to make your individual
mobility as sustainable as possible.
The BlueEFFICIENCY measures – the Mercedes-Benz
efficiency package. A comprehensive set of vehicle
enhancements saves fuel and eases the burden on the environment. Each model combines the most efficient engine
with the very latest aerodynamic and energy-management
measures. These include intelligently controlled ancillaries,
low rolling resistance tyres, lightweight components and
the ECO start/stop function that is available for most
models. The BlueDIRECT V6 and V8 petrol engines featured
in many model series deliver more power while cutting
consumption by up to 25%. The new BlueEFFICIENCY Edition
badge is reserved for the most economical models in
selected ranges. These vehicles employ special measures
to save weight, reduce air resistance or optimise the
drivetrain, for example, and thereby achieve even lower
fuel consumption and CO2 figures.
BlueTEC – the clean diesel. Mercedes-Benz has brought
to market BlueTEC technology for diesel engines based
on common-rail direct injection (CDI). A modular emissioncontrol system makes BlueTEC an exceptionally clean
diesel technology, as not only does it remove up to 95% of

the particulate matter from the exhaust gases, it also
reduces nitrogen oxides by up to 90%. What remains is
mainly water, nitrogen and the satisfying feeling of helping
to ease the burden on the environment.
HYBRID – combustion engine and electric motor intelligently combined. A well-coordinated team can achieve
more, as hybrid technology certainly proves. The electric
motor supports the engine during the journey – for example
with a boost effect for more powerful acceleration – or it
acts as a generator, recuperating energy during braking
The A 180 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY1 is systematically designed for fuel economy,
making it the Mercedes-Benz with the lowest fuel consumption

in order to charge the battery (regenerative braking).
The latest-generation hybrid drive system is capable of allelectric operation for up to one kilometre at a maximum
speed of 35 km/h and also allows efficient, emission-free
coasting at speeds below 160 km/h by shutting off the
engine on the overrun and disengaging the drive system.
With the E 300 BlueTEC HYBRID2 we now also offer
the unique driving experience that comes with a hybrid
in a premium-class diesel model – without any loss of
spaciousness. At the same time, this vehicle is also the
most economical luxury-segment model in the world and
Services
cuts CO2 emissions by a further 15% compared to the
already low-emission E 250 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY. Perfect
teamwork, you might say.
Innovative drive systems that break new ground.
In mid-2013, our electric drive technology will be moving
into the fast lane with the arrival of the SLS AMG Coupé
Electric Drive3, which takes electric driving into a whole
new dimension. This super sports car equipped with four
synchronous electric motors is our second production-ready
electric car and boasts stunning performance figures.
Facts & colours
Its 551 kW and 1000 Nm make it the most powerful AMG
high-performance model ever, yet it produces no local
emissions. Another innovative alternative, the hydrogen
drive, has also taken to the road at Mercedes-Benz with a
small-scale series of B-Class models that use a fuel cell to
generate power for the electric motor. As the leader in this
field, we are continuing the systematic development of this
technology and are expanding the network of hydrogen filling
stations with our partners. Finally, the F 125! represents the
future of zero-emission motoring in the luxury class.
But that’s not all: under the banner “Design for Environment”,
we look at a vehicle’s entire lifecycle and work hard
to preserve the environment, all the way from the planning
stage through to recycling. The same applies to the building
and running of new plants. In addition, we are involved in
the development of alternative fuels and carry out research
in the field of bionics. In short, BlueEFFICIENCY is good
news for both you and the environment.
The E 300 BlueTEC HYBRID2 is the first ever premium-class diesel hybrid and

The C 250 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY posts an excellent set of output, torque and
fuel-consumption figures
This is made possible by a wealth of highly effective technologies. Fourth-generation common-rail diesel technology
impresses by virtue of an injection pressure increased
to up to 2000 bar, optimised combustion chambers and
extremely precise injectors. Higher ignition pressure and
the optimised turbocharger make for high torque in every
engine speed range, while the requisite refinement comes
courtesy of two Lanchester balancer shafts. Optimised
alternator management ensures consistent use of the
engine’s coasting phases, thus allowing recuperation
of kinetic energy. Meanwhile the radiator shutter reduces
the aerodynamic drag when the engines require only
moderate cooling.
The current engine generation delivers impressive output
and high torque as well as reduced fuel consumption and
CO2 emissions. The reductions in consumption and emissions we have achieved with the C 220 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY
Edition are particularly significant.
V6 engines. The C 350 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY also places
the emphasis on efficiency. In its latest guise, the uprated
and consumption-optimised V6 diesel engine develops
195 kW (265 hp), making it the most powerful diesel drive
system with common-rail technology in the C-Class.
Precise and fast injectors, a high injection pressure of up
to 1600 bar, and an optimised turbocharger combine
to produce an immense peak torque of 620 Nm – all of
which adds up to effortlessly superior pulling power in
all driving situations. In combination with 4MATIC all-wheel
drive, the 6-cylinder diesel engine in the C-Class is also
available as the C 300 CDI 4MATIC BlueEFFICIENCY,
developing 170 kW (231 hp) and peak torque of 540 Nm.
For all their performance potential, both 6-cylinder
diesel engines of course still meet the requirements of
the Euro 5 emission standard.

Further efficiency measures. The ECO start/stop
function automatically turns off the engine when waiting
at traffic lights or in a tailback and is available on most
models (with the exception of the C 300 CDI 4MATIC
BlueEFFICIENCY). The ECO display that is additionally
available for many models provides feedback about the
efficiency of the driving style, which can then be adapted
accordingly in order to reduce fuel consumption.

Petrol engines
Mercedes-Benz offers a wide range of environmentally compatible engines. Intelligent technologies reduce fuel consumption, while CO2 emissions are lower than ever
for a Mercedes-Benz C-Class
4-cylinder in-line engines. The 4-cylinder unit of the
C 180 BlueEFFICIENCY, with a displacement of 1.6 litres,
direct petrol injection, variable valve timing and a turbocharger offers outstanding torque and power, not to mention
appropriately low fuel consumption and emissions. This
is made possible by direct injection, at a pressure of up to
200 bar, which ensures optimum preparation of the fuel-air
mixture. The engine management system optimises the
valve timing of the piezo injectors with multi-hole valves. The
air flow paths have also been designed to offer as little
resistance as possible and the weight of the engine has
been reduced through measures such as the use of aluminium for the crankcase and the adoption of a hollow-cast
crankshaft.
What’s more, BlueEFFICIENCY measures and other
enhancements reduce fuel consumption. The range of
optimisation measures includes on-demand control of
engine ancillaries or, for example, the electromechanical
steering of the C 180 BlueEFFICIENCY. This only requires
energy during the actual process of steering – without any
compromises in terms of steering comfort.
The 4-cylinder petrol engines come with a choice of three
power outputs:
– C 180 BlueEFFICIENCY developing 115 kW (156 hp)
and a peak torque of 250 Nm
– C 200 BlueEFFICIENCY developing 135 kW (184 hp)

and a peak torque of 310 Nm
All engines are exceptionally quiet and meet strict fuel
consumption and emission requirements (Euro 5).
V6 engine. Up to 31% lower fuel consumption than the
predecessor model and correspondingly lower CO2 emissions
yet enhanced dynamics – a neat way of summing up the
C 350 BlueEFFICIENCY. These advantages are primarily down
to the 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. In addition to the
modified combustion process, further factors which help
to reduce fuel consumption include an innovative air and
exhaust system, controlled ancillaries, intelligent alternator
management and consistently applied lightweight-design
principles. Outstanding refinement is another of the V6
engine’s hallmark traits. The C 350 BlueEFFICIENCY Saloon
is also available with 4MATIC all-wheel drive.
Further efficiency measures. All models are fitted
as standard with the ECO start/stop function (with the
exception of the C 300 CDI 4MATIC BlueEFFICIENCY),
which automatically turns off the engine when waiting at
traffic lights or in a tailback. The ECO display that is
additionally available for many models provides feedback
about the efficiency of the driving style, which can then be
adapted accordingly in order to reduce fuel consumption.

Whether it be a manual gearshift or an automatic, an economical or a sporty driving style – the transmissions for the C-Class have been optimised in line with the model
in which they are installed. Plus they are intuitive and ergonomic to use
6-speed manual transmission. The 4-cylinder engines
(with the exception of the C 250 BlueEFFICIENCY and
models with 4MATIC all-wheel drive) are paired with a
6-speed manual transmission – with the ECO start/stop
function as standard – which offers impressively short,
precise shift travel and whose gear spacing is optimally
matched to the rear axle ratio. A display on the instrument
cluster indicates recommended gear changes to further
encourage a highly economical driving style.
7G-TRONIC PLUS. The 7G-TRONIC PLUS is fitted as
standard in all 6-cylinder models, in the all-wheel drive
variants and in the C 250 BlueEFFICIENCY. This automatic
transmission makes use of a torque converter to ensure
dynamic response, longevity, reduced noise levels and
significantly lower fuel consumption.
The latter is also thanks to the inclusion as standard
of the ECO start/stop function (except in the C 300 CDI
4MATIC BlueEFFICIENCY), which turns off the engine
temporarily when the car is stopped at traffic lights or in
a tailback. Furthermore, the seven forward gears in the
7G-TRONIC PLUS ensure an ideally adapted engine speed
at all times, short shift times and smooth shifts. Driving
enjoyment is likewise enhanced: the car delivers even
better acceleration and provides even more pulling power.
And when changing down, gears can be skipped for fast
in-gear acceleration.

assisted by 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 good
traction, improving the amount of power to be planted
on the road when moving off and when accelerating,
especially on poor road surfaces. 4MATIC makes conventional differential locks superfluous: the automatic braking
pulses make it easier to move off on slippery ground as

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 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® system kicks in 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.
A selection of these technologies for the “Safe driving”,
“In the event of danger”, “In an accident” and “After an
accident” phases is presented on the pages which follow.
Safe driving: ATTENTION ASSIST (included with the
optional luxury multifunction steering wheel). This drowsiness detection system can be especially useful on long
trips. Between 80 and 180 km/h, ATTENTION ASSIST warns
the driver as soon as it detects typical signs of drowsiness
or inattention. All thanks to sensors that can analyse driving
behaviour and detect any changes in it.
Safe driving: Lane Tracking package (optional). Lane
Keeping Assist detects the markings on the road. If the
car leaves its lane unintentionally, the system can warn
the driver by making the steering wheel vibrate gently.
Blind Spot Assist uses two radar sensors to monitor the
poorly visible area directly alongside and behind the
car – the blind spot. If the system detects the danger of
an impending collision with a vehicle when changing
lanes, it warns the driver by a signal in the exterior mirror
if the car is travelling at 30 km/h or more. Lane Keeping
Assist and Blind Spot Assist are also available separately
as individual options.
Safe driving: Intelligent Light System (optional). The
system has six functions: country mode, motorway
mode, enhanced fog lamps, cornering light function, active
light function and Adaptive Highbeam Assist. The latter
provides the best possible low-beam headlamp range: the
low-beam headlamp range can be constantly adjusted
to provide optimum performance for the prevailing traffic
conditions. When no other road traffic is detected, main
beam is enabled.
The Adaptive Highbeam Assist detects other road users with their lights on
and ensures the greatest possible range of vision

Safe driving: Driving Assistance package Plus (optional).
The package comprises a series of separate intelligent
technologies: Active Lane Keeping Assist vibrates the
steering wheel gently to warn a driver who unintentionally
leaves the recognised, marked lane. If the driver fails to
react, a lane-correcting brake actuation can occur. Active
Blind Spot Assist ensures increased safety when changing
lanes. Two radar sensors observe the area which the
driver cannot see well in the exterior mirrors – the “blind
spot”. If the driver activates the indicator and the assistance
system detects a vehicle in the danger zone, a warning
triangle flashes in the exterior mirror and an acoustic alert
is sounded. If the driver still starts to turn the steering
wheel, targeted brake actuation on one side of the vehicle
warns against the possible danger and can thus prevent
a collision. DISTRONIC PLUS proximity control uses radar
to help the driver maintain a preset distance between the car
and the vehicle in front, making the driver’s job easier in
either moving or stop-and-go traffic. The Driving Assistance
package Plus is rounded off with Brake Assist BAS PLUS
and PRE-SAFE® Brake – for a reassuring sense of safety on
every trip.

Safety
In the event of danger: PRE-SAFE® Brake and BAS PLUS (both part of the optional
Driving Assistance package Plus). PRE-SAFE® Brake first provides the driver with visual
and acoustic warnings if the risk of a collision is detected. In this phase, BAS PLUS
determines the brake pressure required to avoid a collision. If the braking force applied
by the driver is insufficient, BAS PLUS increases the braking pressure automatically so
as to make optimum use of the remaining distance available whilst also giving the driver
behind a better chance of avoiding a rear-end collision. If the Mercedes driver fails to
respond to the signal, PRE-SAFE® Brake initiates autonomous partial braking, giving them
a haptic warning. The PRE-SAFE® system simultaneously triggers protective measures
for a possible collision. If there is still no response from the driver, autonomous emergency
braking can be initiated, meaning that the severity of the impact and therefore the
consequences of the accident can be reduced significantly.
In the event of danger: PRE-SAFE® system (optional). This anticipatory occupant
protection system is able to detect certain critical driving situations in advance and activate
preventive measures. Depending on the driving situation and the vehicle’s scope of
equipment, the system can then tauten the front seat belts and close any open side
windows or the sliding roof, so as to ensure that the seat belts and airbags function
to full effect in the event of impact. When the optional multicontour seats are fitted, air
cushions can be activated in a matter of seconds to hold the occupants in place on the
front seats. With the separately available Memory package, the front passenger seat can
additionally be moved to a position offering greater protection in accident conditions.
Comfort
If the accident is avoided, the seat belts will be relaxed again and the system will return
to standby mode.
In an accident: NECK-PRO head restraints (standard). The crash-responsive NECK-PRO
head restraints can help to reduce the risk of whiplash injury by moving forwards and
upwards to support the heads of the front occupants at an earlier stage in the event of a
rear impact.
PRE-SAFE® can initiate preventive measures to provide better protection for the occupants in a hazardous situation

In an accident: restraint systems (standard). Mercedes-Benz optimises interaction
between the 3-point seat belts, belt tensioners, belt force limiters and airbags to minimise
injuries. Up to nine airbags are installed to protect the occupants: front airbags, which
can deploy in two stages depending on the predicted impact severity, as well as sidebags
and windowbags. The kneebag can further reduce the forces exerted on the driver during
an accident. Sidebags for the rear seats are also available as an option. If the airbag control
unit detects an accident, the seat belts are tightened automatically almost instantly to

hold the occupants firmly in their seats. The belt force limiter, on the other hand, slackens
the belt according to the particular situation so that not too much force is exerted on the
occupant’s rib cage.
After an accident: Mercedes-Benz emergency call system (part of COMAND Online).
The system can send an automatic emergency call via an operational telephone connected
to the vehicle as soon as the restraint system detects an accident. At the same time GPS
positioning data and other information on the vehicle are transmitted to the Mercedes-Benz
emergency call centre. A voice connection is then established. The emergency call system
can also be triggered manually.
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 automatically, and crash joints between the door and the wing make it easier to open the
doors after a front impact. In addition Mercedes-Benz makes Guidelines for Rescue
Services available; helpers all over the world can download them from the internet in
various languages at www.mercedes-benz.de/rettungsleitfaden. As you can see, at

camera monitors the area in front of the car on a permanent
basis. The camera can filter out round traffic signs, be
they speed-limit signs at the side of the road or on a gantry
above the road. To detect the signs, the system also draws
on the data stored in the navigation system’s digital map,
thus also enabling it to take account of the vehicle entering
or leaving urban areas. Speed Limit Assist is especially
helpful on routes with variable speed limits or road works.
Speed Limit Assist can even indicate temporary speed limits

the driver has over 500 Nm on tap between 2000 and
6250 rpm. The AMG Performance package boosts the
output by 22 kW (30 hp) to 358 kW (487 hp), enabling the
car to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in an impressive
4.3 s (4.4 s for the estate).
AMG sports suspension. The specially tuned AMG sports
suspension delivers excitement thanks to increased agility,
enhanced lateral acceleration potential and improved
overall ride comfort. Together with the AMG 5-twin-spoke
light-alloy wheels with 235/40 R 18 front tyres and
255/35 R 18 rear tyres, the specific three-link front suspension with a wider track, the AMG speed-sensitive
sports steering and the three-stage ESP®, it ensures superlative driving dynamics and thrilling driving enjoyment.
The AMG speed-sensitive sports steering has an even more
direct ratio and therefore offers greater steering precision
at high cornering speeds. The AMG sport suspension’s
stiff springs and gas-pressure shock absorbers ensure
optimum road feel and minimise body movements.
The AMG sports suspension therefore combines driving
dynamics at the highest level with hallmark Mercedes
long-distance comfort – and thus displays the characteristic
attributes of a true AMG. The Electronic Stability Program
ESP® has been specially adapted in line with the high
level of driving dynamics, as it allows the driver to select
the level of assistance provided by the dynamic handling
control system by choosing one of three different control
settings: ON, OFF and SPORT-HANDLING MODE. The
activated setting is shown on the AMG instrument cluster’s
central display. The AMG high-performance braking system
featuring large, internally ventilated and perforated brake
discs ensures good levels of deceleration and fade resistance. Not to mention perfect brake control and short
stopping distances. An AMG performance suspension is
available as a further option. A sportier configuration of
springs and dampers allows the suspension to respond
even faster and more directly, so that it meets even the
most demanding expectations in terms of driving dynamics.

AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT 7-speed sports transmission.
Equipped with AMG aluminium steering-wheel gearshift
paddles, four modes and a Race Start function, the 7-speed
automatic transmission delivers enhanced driving dynamics,
higher efficiency and up to 10 percent lower fuel consumption than the predecessor model. The Race Start function
allows the driver to call up the maximum acceleration
potential with optimum traction. The “S” (Sport), “S+”
(Sport Plus), “C” (Comfort) and “M” (Manual) modes each
have different gear-change characteristics and speeds:
gear changes in “S” and “S+” modes are around 20 and
40 percent quicker than in “C” mode respectively – while
in “M” mode gear changes take just 100 milliseconds,
making them some 50 percent faster. A push of a button
activates the desired driving mode: distinctly sporty or
more comfort-oriented. There is also an automatic doubledeclutching function when downshifting, which provides
an emotive sound experience as well as reducing power-off
effects. This function has a positive effect when braking
on the approach to bends in particular.

The paint system developed by Mercedes-Benz includes
one of the best clearcoats on the automotive market and
is a key factor behind the car’s excellent value retention.
The secret lies in the exceptionally dense molecular structure, which makes both the metallic and the non-metallic
clearcoats more resistant and produces a longer-lasting and
visibly more intensive shine.
