CHANGE
OF COURSE
THE SPEED OF LIFE KEEPS SPEEDING UP. CAN ONE CAR KEEP BEING RIGHT FOR
THE TIMES? IF IT’S THE CAR THAT SETS THE PACE OF PROGRESS, SURE IT CAN.
Standard and available equipment varies by model.
Please see endnotes at back of brochure.
A LWAYS A DVA N C I N G T H E S TA N DA R D
Innovation is a word that automakers toss around like there’s no
tomorrow. But unless a car is truly groundbreaking, it’s merely new,
and tomorrow’s just another day. For five generations, the C ‑Class
has pioneered breakthroughs in performance, safety and luxury. It’s
raised the standards of what drivers expect from a car — not just in
its class, but at any price. And yet, year after year, the C ‑Class puts
far-reaching innovation within reach. For 2016, tomorrow comes
with three new power choices,1 added safety and fresh technology.
Does change start with C? If you mean the C ‑Class, of course.
ONE LINE,
SIX TRAJECTORIES
THIS IS SURELY THE MOST DIVERSE C-CLASS LINE YET. BUT IT’S
WHAT THEY HAVE IN COMMON THAT TRULY SETS THEM APART.
THE BRIGHTEST STAR KEEPS RISING
After a panel of 75 automotive journalists from 22 countries named
the new C ‑Class 2015 World Car of the Year,2 would you expect
Mercedes -Benz engineers to coast for a bit? Not when acceleration
is so much fun. So for 2016, C is also for choices — more than ever
before: One turbo or two. Rear-wheel or 4matic® all -wheel drive.
Gasoline, clean diesel or Plug -In HYBRID.1 Luxury, Sport and Night
Packages. Plus an entirely new expression of performance from
the racers at AMG. If you want to see to the future of driving — and
look forward to it — always look to the brightest stars on the road.
Please see endnotes at back of brochure.
STARTS
FROM
WITHIN
CHARACTER ISN’T MEASURED BY SIZE OR VOLUME,
BUT DEPTH. IT’S INSIDE THE MUSCULAR BODY OF
THE C‑CLASS WHERE YOU’LL DISCOVER ITS SOUL —
AND REDISCOVER SOME PASSION OF YOUR OWN.
FOR THE BEST OF TIMES
The wide, cascading console and thick, Nappa
leather-trimmed steering wheel greet you with a
singular message: Every element of the C ‑Class
cockpit is designed and crafted to elevate your
driving enjoyment. Instruments and displays are
vivid, clear and set to your sight lines. Controls
feel natural in your hands, from the shift paddles
to the console touchpad. And every choice in
materials looks and feels just right — from sleek
aluminum, to satin and gloss woods, to the
precise topstitching of the seats, doors and
dash. It takes extra time to finish a car this way,
but you’ll savor the results for years to come.
FOR THE TEST OF TIME
A C ‑Class lets you select from an extraordinary
palette of colors, materials and styles for your
cabin appointments. But it does not make you
choose between immediate gratification and
enduring comfort. The standard 10‑way power
front seats help you find your perfect seating
position. The 3‑position driver-seat memory
makes it easy to find it again. Even your lumbar
support power-adjusts four ways. The available
heated and ventilated front seats — as well as
the new option of a heated steering wheel —
offer rapid yet lasting comfort as the seasons
change. And while you can’t see the materials
beneath the stylish surfaces, they’re chosen to
make you feel at ease in other important ways.
Steam -expanded foams — a process pioneered
by Mercedes-Benz — eliminate harsh chemicals,
while products from flax, coconut and olives
sustainably support numerous cabin elements.
WITH ADVANCED TURBOS AND DIRECT INJECTION,
THE SIX ENGINES OF THE C‑CLASS GENERATE MORE
POWER FROM LESS FUEL, WITH FEWER EMISSIONS.
IN CERTAIN SITUATIONS, EACH OF THEM ALSO
HAS THE POWER TO USE NO GASOLINE AT ALL.
REGENERATION NEXT
GASOLINE TURBOS AND BITURBOS
The Direct Injection gasoline engines of the C ‑Class span
from a turbo ‑4 that delivers brisk acceleration and up to
34 highway mpg,3 to an AMG-enhanced 362‑hp biturbo V‑6,
to handcrafted biturbo AMG V‑8s with 469 or 503 hp. All
feature multispark ignition that can rapidly fire each spark
plug several times in a millisecond, to get the most power
from every drop of gasoline. And when idling in traffic or at
a stoplight, their ECO Start/Stop system can automatically
pause the engine — using no fuel and creating no emissions.
When you’re ready to go, the engine restarts instantly.
NEW TURBOCHARGED CLEAN DIESEL
Mercedes -Benz pioneered BlueTEC® technology to reinvent
the diesel engine. Smooth, quiet, and with certified ultralow
emissions in all 50 states, the new C 300d1 generates more
torque from a turbo‑4 than many gasoline V‑8s: 369 lb‑ft at
just 1,600 rpm. Its strong, seamless acceleration comes with
the bonuses of exceptional fuel economy and driving range.3
FIRST PLUG-IN HYBRID C-CLASS
The new C 350e1 is more than just a new era in eco-friendly
luxury and performance. Its 4‑mode HYBRID drive is among
the most intelligent, efficient gas-electric powertrains on the
road, optimizing the use of its gasoline turbo ‑4 and electric
motor to traffic, terrain and even route -map data while using
the navigation system. Around town, you can drive short
distances on electricity alone, creating no local emissions.4
On longer trips, it can keep its advanced lithium-ion battery
charged while you’re on the open road — saving it up to allow
all -electric city driving later on. Gas and electric power can
also team up to boost acceleration. And while the gasoline
engine and regenerative braking system help replenish the
battery as you drive, it’s a Plug‑In HYBRID — so you can also
recharge it at home or at most any public charging station.5

REVOLUTION
COUNTER
THE ROAD OF LIFE IS FILLED WITH TWISTS AND TURNS. HOW THE
C-CLASS HANDLES THEM HELPS MAKE IT THE LIFE OF THE ROAD.
EVERY GOOD TURN DESERVES ANOTHER
Accelerating from 0 to 60 is a great way to enjoy a car’s power for
a few seconds. With the right road, you can savor a C ‑Class Sedan’s
crisp handling for hours. And with its silky ride, there’s rarely a wrong
road. A precise 4 ‑wheel multilink suspension underpins every C‑Class.
Depending on model, you can also add sport or comfort tuning of its
road-sensing AGILITY CONTROL,® or self-leveling, multimode AIRMATIC.®
The AMG models go even further with their own hardware and tuning.
So whether you’re aiming to carve up a canyon, iron out a city street,
or tame a track, there’s a C ‑Class that fits you like a driving glove.
EDGE SHARPENER
ON A RACETRACK, THE IDEAL WAY TO TAKE A CORNER IS AN EQUILIBRIUM
OF POWER AND PRECISION CALLED THE RACELINE. ON THE STREET, THERE’S
ANOTHER WAY TO ACHIEVE THIS IDEAL BALANCE: THE NEW AMG SPORT MODELS.
WITH ADDED POWER, TIGHTER GRIP AND SHARPER STYLE, THE NEW C 450 AMG
TAKES THE PERFORMANCE CAR AROUND AN ENTIRELY NEW CORNER.
Open the hood of the new C 450 AMG and you’ll discover an
engine cover with a bright red accent. Open up its throttle
and you’ll quickly learn it’s far more than a stripe — it’s a bold
streak that’s evident in every aspect of this new AMG Sport
sedan. The AMG-enhanced biturbo V‑6 pumps out 362 hp.
It teams with a paddle-shifted 7‑speed automatic with AMG
Sport programming — rushing you to 60 mph in 4.8 seconds.6
Its 384 lb‑ft of torque peaks at just 2,000 rpm — with 67% of
it sent to the wide rear tires via AMG Performance 4matic®
all-wheel drive.7 A Torque Vectoring Brake feature quickens
the cornering reflexes of its AMG Adaptive Sport Suspension,
whose electronically controlled shock absorbers team up
with AMG ‑developed axles. Its wider track and more rigid
components fluently convey every move of the linear-ratio,
speed-sensing Direct-steer system. And you can fine-tune all
of it to suit your driving style via the five modes of DYNAMIC
SELECT. AMG Performance brakes employ 4‑piston calipers
on 14.2" front discs. An AMG Sport exhaust adds audible
invigoration. Aggressive AMG bodywork, gloss black trim,
and a chrome diamond-block grille set off 18" or 19" AMG®
wheels8 in any of five styles. The cockpit is equally focused
on performance, with sport-contoured front seats, exclusive
instrumentation, and red stitching that — much like the redstriped engine of the C 450 AMG — reveals its AMG bloodline.
Please see endnotes at back of brochure.
FEAST FOR THE POWER-HUNGRY
MERCEDES‑AMG IS NO MERE SPONSOR OF RACING. AMG IS PEOPLE WHO
DEVELOP, BUILD AND RACE RACECARS. AND THEY WIN. THEN THEY DEVELOP
AND CRAFT HIGH-PERFORMANCE STREET CARS. AND YOU WIN.
“One man, one engine” is more than a motto for AMG. It’s
a guiding philosophy and a process rooted in racing, where
precision and endurance are proven in record time. The heart
of a Mercedes ‑AMG C 63 or C 63 S Sedan is its biturbo V‑8.
Each one is crafted by the hands of its own master engine
builder, who visually inspects and records every component,
and computer-verifies each torque spec. Only after the engine
is individually bench-tested does it earn the signature of its
builder — on a metal plaque affixed to its cover. This degree of
detail -obsession is evident throughout the vehicle — from its
mighty brake hardware to its range of driver-selected modes
to its impeccably finished, performance-focused cockpit.
The compact 4.0 ‑liter biturbo V‑8 powering either AMG C 63
combines higher output with up to 38% better efficiency.3 Its
“hot inside V” turbo setup cuts lag and losses. With 469 hp
and 479 lb ‑ft of torque — more than any competitor — the C 63
sprints to 60 mph in 4.0 seconds.6 The C 63 S leads its class
with 503 hp and 516 lb ‑ft, good for 0–60 in 3.9 seconds. A
7‑speed AMG SPEEDSHIFT® MCT gearbox and limited-slip
differential — electronic on the C 63 S — team with a multimode
AMG Adaptive Sport Suspension, 18" or 19" AMG® wheels,8
and AMG high -performance brakes — with red calipers and
compound front discs on the C 63 S. An available variable vane exhaust can go from a mellow growl to a wild V‑8 roar.
Please see endnotes at back of brochure.
SAFETY FIRST AND FOR ALL
WHEN SECONDS MATTER MOST, SO DO FIRSTS. IT’S WHY MERCEDES-BENZ
ENGINEERS KEEP THINKING UP NEW WAYS TO MAKE EVERY CAR SAFER.
Every effort of Mercedes-Benz safety engineers goes
toward a singular goal: accident-free driving. They’re
also keenly aware that achieving this goal only for the
vehicles they design would be pointless. The roads
can only be safe for someone when they’re safe for
everyone. The 1951 patent for the first crumple zone
is one of more than 88,000 that Mercedes-Benz has
earned in the past 130 years. Energy-absorbing front
and rear deformation zones flank a reinforced “safety
cell” for the passengers. But the idea did more than
better protect the occupants of a Mercedes-Benz. It
eventually became the way all automobiles are made,
thereby helping protect everyone on the road better.
Over the decades, countless breakthroughs that were
pioneered under the Three -Pointed Star have gone on
to become the safety standards for all automobiles —
like the Antilock Braking System (ABS), the Electronic
Stability Program (ESP®), emergency-sensing Brake
Assist (BAS®), the seat-belt Emergency Tensioning
Device (ETD), and side curtain air bags. For many
of these inventions, Mercedes-Benz has chosen not
to enforce their patents — since some things are too
important not to share. As a result, you can expect
to see some of the groundbreaking advancements of
today’s Mercedes-Benz on other cars in a few years.
That said, sometimes the future is only milliseconds
ahead of you. And nobody prepares you for it like the
engineers who’ve spent decades thinking about it.
KNOW WHAT’S NEXT
WITH INTELLIGENT DRIVE, A 360° NETWORK OF CAMERAS, RADAR
AND OTHER SENSORS CAN SEE MORE THAN THE HUMAN EYE, TO
HELP YOU GET OUT OF DANGER BEFORE YOU’RE IN IT.
COLLISION PREVENTION ASSIS T PLUS
ACTIVE L ANE KEEPING ASSIS T
Radar-based technology alerts you if you’re following a vehicle too quickly or
too closely. As soon as you start to brake, Adaptive Brake Assist automatically
adjusts the braking to an ideal level, to help prevent a collision or reduce its
severity. The system can apply the brakes autonomously from speeds up to
65 mph. It can also activate PRE-SAFE,® the predictive system that can tighten
the front seat belts and close the windows in the moments before a collision.9
By monitoring visible road markings at speeds above 37 mph, Active Lane
Keeping Assist helps detect unintended drifting off-course, and alerts you by
vibrating the steering wheel. If you continue to drift, it can selectively brake
individual wheels to help guide the car back into its lane. It can also help
detect and alert you to overtaking vehicles, vehicles you’ll need to overtake
if you change lanes, and even oncoming traffic in the adjacent lane.10
AT TENTION ASSIS T
ACTIVE BLIND SPOT ASSIS T
By continuously monitoring as many as 70 parameters of driving behavior,
ATTENTION ASSIST® can alert you both visually and audibly if it detects signs
of driver-drowsiness on long trips. Its enhanced sensitivity helps the system
detect drivers who begin their trip drowsy. A display in the gauge cluster can
help you track your own attention level and driving time along your journey.10
When driving above 20 mph, radar technology helps sense when a vehicle
enters the blind-spot area on either side of you, and alerts you by illuminating
an icon in the side mirror. A warning tone sounds if you activate a turn signal
while a vehicle is detected. And if you begin to change lanes, advanced active
technology can help guide the car back by applying the brakes on one side.11
DIS TRONIC PLUS WITH S TEERING ASSIS T
BRAKE ASSIS T PLUS WITH CROSS -TRAFFIC ASSIS T
Radar-based cruise control adapts your set speed to the flow of traffic ahead,
automatically slowing until your path is clear again. If the vehicle ahead slows
to a stop, DISTRONIC PLUS® can brake to a full halt. When traffic moves, you
can resume with just a tap, or automatically if the stop is under a second. The
Steering Assist feature helps the driver keep the vehicle centered in between
the lane markings while cruising on straight roads, or even in gentle curves.12
BAS® PLUS uses radar sensors to scan the road ahead at driving speeds up to
approximately 45 mph. Cross -Traffic Assist uses radar plus advanced cameras
to help detect a potential collision with vehicles approaching from either side
of an intersection ahead, or with pedestrians in the car’s path. When the driver
responds to the system’s alert by braking, Brake Assist PLUS precisely applies
the maximum braking force required to help prevent such an accident.13
PRE - SAFE BRAKE WITH PEDES TRIAN RECOGNITION
PARK TRONIC WITH ACTIVE PARKING ASSIS T
PRE-SAFE Brake can help detect an impending collision and automatically
apply up to 100% braking force to help reduce the severity of impact. At
speeds up to approximately 35 mph, it can also help detect if pedestrians
have entered your path and automatically apply the brakes.13 The features are
active whether using the cruise control functions of DISTRONIC PLUS or not.
As you drive by open parking spaces, sensors help you size them up. When you
decide to back into one, it can expertly steer and brake for you — and steer you
back out later. In any low -speed maneuver, PARKTRONIC’s ultrasonic sensors
in the bumpers help detect nearby objects within its field of view. Audible and
visual indicators in the cabin help you navigate tight spaces with confidence.
Please see endnotes at back of brochure.
ADVANCED IN FORMATION
THE C-CLASS COCKPIT IS DESIGNED TO LOOK MODERN, AND TO STAY MODERN.
TOMORROW’S CAR TOMORROW, TOO
How can something as beautifully formed as the C ‑Class cockpit
keep you so well-informed too? Ask that question in three years,
when your dealer has updated your navigation maps at no charge.14
Or in five years, after Mercedes-Benz mbrace® has installed some
great new in-car apps while your car is parked in your driveway.15
Or ask about any of its class -exclusive features right now — and
you’ll even be excited about tomorrow morning’s drive to work.
Please see endnotes at back of brochure.
IF YOU THINK MODERN SEDANS LACK EMOTION, THE
C‑CLASS HAS A RANGE TO MATCH YOUR OWN. A TAP OF
ITS DYNAMIC SELECT TOGGLE CAN EVOKE ITS SILKIEST
COMFORT OR SHARPEST EDGE. ITS TOUCHPAD LETS
YOU CUSTOMIZE COUNTLESS SETTINGS. AND ITS AUDIO
OPTIONS CAN MAKE THE WORLD YOUR PLAYLIST.
MODE FOR ANY MOOD
DRIVE LIFE TO THE FULLEST
Driving is all about responding to change. Even in
your daily commute, every mile can be different.
So can each day — as weather, passengers and
road conditions come and go. No matter where
you’re going, you can adapt how your C ‑Class
feels and responds to how you feel. A few taps of
its DYNAMIC SELECT button can dial up sharper
handling, relaxed comfort, or peak efficiency. You
can even create a mode all your own. It’s one of
many vehicle settings you can customize via the
car’s touchpad and big color screen. The touchpad
also puts a world of entertainment and information
at your fingertips, with tablet- style gestures like
swipe and pinch-to -zoom, or even handwriting.
And since your soundtrack can change a good
drive to great, Burmester ®— Germany’s renowned
crafter of high-end home audio — has developed a
590‑watt, 9‑channel surround sound system with
13 high-end speakers and exquisite metal grilles.
The C ‑Class is not only sporty and stylish, its
spacious cabin is also generous with luxuries.
Standard features include power front seats, a
driver-seat memory that also includes the power
steering column, rear seats that fold down in a
40/20/40 split, pushbutton KEYLESS‑START,
and power-folding side mirrors. It’s also available
with thoughtful innovations no other sedan in its
class offers. You can charcoal-filter the cabin
air, electrically ionize it so it feels as fresh as a
summer storm, then add hints of aromatherapy.
LEDs and fiber optics can cast a soft glow in
any of three changeable colors. The Panorama
roof features heat-rejecting glass and a power
tilt/sliding front section. In addition to its own
sunshades, rear- and rear-side window screens
offer added shade and privacy, too. And along
with heated front seats, you can enjoy cooling
ventilation, or a new heated steering wheel.
AN EXPANSIVE POWER GLASS SUNROOF LETS YOU TAKE
IN A BREEZY SKY, OR FINE-MESH SHADES CAN SCREEN
IT OUT. ITS CABIN AIR CAN BE TRIPLE-FILTERED, OR
INFUSED WITH SUBTLE FRAGRANCES. THE C-CLASS IS
THOUGHTFUL IN WAYS YOU NEVER EVEN THOUGHT OF.

Introduction dates vary. Please see your dealer.
Visit wcoty.com for more information on the World Car Awards.
2016 EPA estimated fuel economy for C 300 Sedan. Please see your dealer for figures for other
models. 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. Your
actual highway mileage will probably be less than the highway estimate. Driving range based on
fuel tank capacity and preliminary estimated highway fuel economy.
4 Please see your dealer for final driving range estimates. Driving range may vary based on terrain,
temperature, driving style and other factors. Road and traffic conditions are subject to change
and may not be reflected in navigation map data.
5 Charging times are estimated and may vary by location and equipment. Charging stations must
be J1772-compatible. Please see your dealer for more information.
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 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.
8 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.
C-Class models are not provided with a spare tire. Models without Extended Mobility tires are
provided with TIREFIT sealant and a portable air pump. High-performance tires are included with
all 19" wheels.
9 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. Autonomous braking is available at speeds between approximately 5 and 65 mph for
moving vehicles, or 5 and 31 mph for stationary objects.
10 Driving while drowsy or distracted is dangerous and must be avoided. ATTENTION ASSIST® and/
or Lane Keeping Assist may be insufficient to alert a fatigued or distracted driver of lane drift
and cannot be relied on to avoid an accident or serious injury. Lane Keeping Assist operates at
speeds above approximately 37 mph.
11 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 must not be used as a sole
substitute for driver awareness and checking of surrounding traffic conditions. Blind Spot Assist
operates at speeds above approximately 20 mph.
12 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 DISTRONIC Proximity Warning System before braking, as that may
not afford sufficient time and distance to brake safely.
13 Braking effectiveness also depends on proper brake maintenance, and tire and road conditions.
14 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.
15 All Mercedes-Benz mbrace® services operate only where cellular and Global Positioning System
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. Some services are only available on select vehicles. Your
PIN is required in order to use certain services. Some services may be limited or restricted in
some areas. Apps may be introduced and updated at varying dates, and may also require a
vehicle software update. Driver is responsible for complying with traffic and other laws. See
your dealer or MBUSA.com/mbrace for details, including a list of compatible smartphones.
Streaming Internet-based features require an active subscription to the mbrace Entertain
Package. Connection may be limited by cellular signal.
16 The mbrace Mobile App is compatible with Apple iPhone® models running iOS 7.0 or later, and
Android-based phones running OS 2.3 or later. Visit MBUSA.com/mbrace for more information.
17 Roadside Assistance repairs may involve charges for parts, service and towing. Vehicle must be
accessible from main roads. Depending on the circumstance, these services may be provided
by an outside provider, courtesy of Mercedes-Benz Roadside Assistance. Restricted roadways,
acts of nature and vehicle accessibility may limit our ability to provide services to you. For full
details, eligibility requirements, and limitations/exclusions of Sign and Drive services, as well
as the Roadside Assistance Program, please see your dealer.
18 The purchase or lease of a new, satellite radio-enabled vehicle includes a 6‑ month introductory
subscription to the Sirius All Access package, as well as a 5-year introductory subscription to
SiriusXM Traffic and SiriusXM Weather when equipped with the Multimedia Package. SiriusXM
Traffic and Weather services are available for select markets. SiriusXM Satellite Radio, SiriusXM
Traffic and SiriusXM Weather subscriptions are sold separately or as a package after trial period.
If you decide to continue your subscription after your trial, the plan you choose will automatically
renew and you will be charged according to your chosen payment method at then-current rates.
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.
19 Standard on C 450 AMG, AMG C 63 and AMG C 63 S.
20 Standard on AMG C 63 and AMG C 63 S.
21 Not available on C 450 AMG, AMG C 63 or AMG C 63 S.
22 Rearview camera and Surround View System do not audibly notify driver of nearby objects and
are 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.
23 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.
24 Heated steering wheel not available with Crystal Grey/Deep Sea Blue or Silk Beige/Espresso
upholstery. Wheel features a round design if ordered in combination with Sport Package.
25 AMG Performance seats available in select colors. See your dealer or visit MBUSA.com/c.

27 Extra-cost option.
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.
