2013
CL-CLASS
TO UPHOLD TRADITION IS NEVER TO HOLD IT BACK.
When you think about the milestones Mercedes - Benz has established for generations, a clear pattern emerges. From unwavering principles to an unfading passion for
uniting power, luxury and beauty, the heritage they collectively establish is one that always thrusts history forward. It’s how imagination becomes innovation, optimism
begets opportunity, and engineering sparks emotion. Perhaps no automobile embodies these values as impressively, or impeccably, as the 2013 CL‑ Class. It’s visible in
its signature pillarless profile and sumptuous four-seat cabin. And it’s tangible in the unparalleled synthesis of performance, comfort and safety. The flagship coupes of
Mercedes - Benz uphold a long-standing tradition of never standing still. Driving a CL‑ Class is a celebration of this legacy — and it’s one that only grows newer with time.

AIR OF AUTHORITY.
THE SPARK OF INSPIRATION IGNITES THE FIRE WITHIN.
Groundbreaking, breathtaking Mercedes - Benz coupes have been quickening
the pulse of performance for the better part of a century. The 500 K featured
a supercharger and 4 ‑ wheel independent suspension in the 1930s. The 1955
300 Sc was fuel-injected. The 2000 CL 500 debuted a fully active suspension.
For 2013, each of the four CL‑ Class coupes rekindles the inspired passion of
its forebears with its own combination of biturbo power and a highly advanced
chassis. Two Direct Injection V‑8s can fire each of their spark plugs four times
in sequence within a single millisecond, creating more torque from less fuel
and with fewer emissions. And a pair of V‑12s generate superlative output with
supernatural ease. In the CL 550, semi-active AIRMATIC® suspension teams with
4matic® all-wheel drive to wield its torque with tenacity. Its three thoroughbred
stablemates — including a pair of AMG coupes — are endowed with Active Body
Control (ABC®), arguably the most advanced suspension on the road today. In
any form, on any road, a CL‑ Class turns pure passion into poised performance.
The CL 550 4matic. An advanced 429‑hp biturbo V‑8 rushes the CL 550 to 60 mph in 4.8 seconds.1
Its paddle -shifted 7‑ speed automatic has been reengineered for crisper, smoother and more efficient
shifting. Semi-active AIRMATIC suspension expertly balances comfort and handling, and includes both
4‑ wheel level control and a driver-selectable Sport mode. Standard 4matic all- wheel drive2 makes the
best use of all four standard 18" 5‑spoke wheels,3 based on each individual wheel’s grip. And with light
weight and a 45:55 front/rear torque split, 4matic enhances handling and efficiency in any season.
The CL 600. A 510 ‑ hp biturbo V‑12 creates superhero power with sublime smoothness, along with
60 mph in 4.5 seconds.1 A robust 5‑speed automatic with shift paddles deftly manages the abundant
torque en route to the rear wheels. Active Body Control (ABC) masters cornering and comfort with its
own counterforces, to conduct every move of the standard 19" multispoke wheels3 with athletic grace.
The CL 63 AMG. Race-bred power and rich refinement are a natural pair in this 536‑hp super coupe.
Its handcrafted biturbo V‑8, 20" wheels3 and AMG-calibrated ABC are evidence of unyielding attention
to every detail. While it can charge to 60 mph in 4.4 seconds,1 it’ll cruise all day in relaxed comfort.
The CL 65 AMG. Extreme performance meets elegant luxury in an exclusive coupe that nearly defies
description. A handcrafted 621‑hp biturbo V‑12 rockets it to 60 in just 4.2 seconds,1 while lightweight
forged - alloy 20" wheels3 and AMG - calibrated ABC conspire to deliver uncanny poise under pressure.
UNCOMMON VISION.
EXTRAORDINARY VIEW.
The taut, sweeping profile of the CL‑Class is a rare sight to behold
in the everyday world. But to gaze toward the horizon from any
of its four exquisitely crafted seats is a revelation. Its panoramic,
pillarless design may arise purely from romantic motivation, but
it’s an invisible tribute to its engineering intensity. To provide four
power side windows with no interrupting framework requires an
elaborate, highly rigid body structure — a legendary Mercedes-Benz
trait which pays further dividends in handling precision, safety and
quiet comfort. Producing the CL‑ Class in limited numbers frees
its cabin to offer a haven of refined luxury to its passengers. Every
surface reflects the expert eyes and hands of those who take their
time crafting it, from the finely stitched dash and flowing full-length
console to the exquisite details that distinguish each of its four
models. The world’s only coupe to feature pillarless design for more
than 50 consecutive years, the CL‑ Class is evidence that genuine
passion, even when it’s concealed, cannot be contained.
The CL- Class cabins. Each of the four
coupes delivers its own expression of
luxury. All feature four individual seats
divided by a wood-trimmed console that
sweeps from dashboard to rear armrest.
A classic analog timepiece inspired by
the 1950s 300 Sc crowns the advanced
controls and displays. Premium leather
seating in the two V‑8 coupes is smooth
and supple. The Exclusive leather of the
V‑12 coupes is even more extravagantly
applied. Performance - focused details
further distinguish the AMG models.
CL 550 Sport Packages. Aggressively
sculpted lower body styling encircles
race-proven AMG wheels in your choice
of a 19" triple 5 -spoke design fitted with
all-season tires, or a 20" 5 ‑spoke style
equipped with high-performance tires.3
CL 550 Grand Edition. A new option
dresses the body and cabin in exquisite
designo paintwork and leather — each
offered in three dramatic shades. Sport
lower bodywork sets off either 19" triple
5 - spoke or 20" 10 ‑spoke alloy wheels.3

INSIGHTFUL DETECTION. INTEGRATED PROTECTION. IMMEDIATE ACTION.
Look at the list of the safety features in most any car today, and you’ll be looking into the history of Mercedes - Benz. Our engineers have been driving the future of automotive safety
for more than 60 years. In the 1950s, they invented the first crumple zone — just one of over 80,000 patents recorded in the history of Mercedes - Benz. In the 1970s, they earned a
patent for the air bag. In the decades to follow, they also pioneered a portfolio of safety breakthroughs that went on to become the standards of the entire industry — like the Antilock
Braking System (ABS), Electronic Stability Program (ESP®) and emergency-sensing Brake Assist (BAS®). In the early 2000s, the CL‑ Class introduced the first Bi ‑Xenon headlamps to
the industry. And even over decades of increasingly stringent side-impact and roof- strength standards, only Mercedes - Benz has never stopped producing pillarless coupes. When you
examine the 2013 CL‑ Class, you’ll discover much more than these well-known milestones of safer driving. You’ll see first- of - their - kind advancements that not only predict tomorrow’s
cars, they also help to protect your own tomorrow — starting now. Its PRE‑SAFE® system can help detect and prepare for a collision before it happens. ATTENTION ASSIST® can sense a
drowsy driver. As you drive along a rainy highway, the brakes intelligently act to disperse water buildup. And should any of the nine air bags be activated, the standard mbrace® system
can automatically place a call for help.4 Far more than a list of features, every CL‑ Class is an orchestrated safety system — engineered to make the most of every millisecond it takes to
avoid, or survive, a collision. You might not be able to see all the ways that your CL‑ Class looks out for you. But if you ever need them, you’ll see why they do.

PREPARE

Brilliant lighting. Bi‑Xenon headlamps create light that’s more like natural
daylight than halogen lamps. They also feature Active Curve Illumination
and Adaptive Highbeam Assist. These two advanced systems continuously
vary the headlamps’ angle and beam pattern, to maximize the lighting of
corners and straightaways without causing glare for other drivers. They
also include corner-illuminating front lamps to help brighten your path into
driveways, as well as headlamp washers. LED Daytime Running Lamps,
taillamps and brake lamps help assert your presence to other drivers.
Body structure. Even without conventional full B‑pillars, the CL‑ Class body
achieves exceptional rigidity. Extensive use of ultra-high and high - strength
steel in critical areas helps it manage both weight and impact forces.
DISTRONIC PLUS. Another CL‑ Class innovation that takes cruise control to
a new level of convenience, this option6 adapts your set speed in response
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 also
brake to a full halt, then resume automatically when traffic starts going.11
ATTENTION ASSIST. By continually monitoring a variety of driving
behaviors, this Mercedes-Benz innovation can audibly and visually alert
the driver if it detects signs of drowsiness on long trips. More than 70
variables are measured to establish a pattern in the first minutes of each
drive and determine the warning thresholds accordingly.5
Night View Assist® PLUS with Pedestrian Detection. As you drive in
darkness, this remarkable option6 can project infrared beams that are
invisible to the human eye, and read them with a special camera. The
system displays a clearer, supplemental real-time view of the road ahead
on an 8" in-dash screen that’s directly in front of the driver. It can also
help identify, point out and illuminate pedestrians along a dark roadway.7
Rear view camera. When backing up, this standard feature shows a live
view of the area behind your car on the large central in-dash screen.8
PRE-SAFE. A Mercedes -Benz first, PRE-SAFE can detect instability during
certain vehicle maneuvers that suggest a collision or rollover is imminent.
It can then adjust the front passenger seat, close the front windows and
close the sunroof — all in an effort to better prepare the occupants in the
moments leading up to a possible collision.9
Adaptive braking. Along with the Electronic Stability Program (ESP) and
emergency-sensing Brake Assist that the CL‑ Class pioneered, its 4‑wheel
ventilated disc brakes include perforated front rotors. Powerful 4 -piston
front calipers are standard on the CL 550 4matic and CL 600, while the
AMG models feature an innovative setup with two calipers for each front
brake. In addition, an integrated system of braking advances helps to make
driving more reassuring and relaxing in a variety of situations. If the driver
lifts off the accelerator quickly, Predictive Brake Priming sets the pads
closer to the discs — for quicker response when the driver steps on the
brake pedal. In the rain, Automatic Brake Drying periodically applies the
brakes just enough to sweep away water buildup on the discs. During uphill
starts, Hill - Start Assist helps prevent unwanted rollback. And a HOLD
feature can help make driving in stop -and -go traffic less stressful.10
PRE-SAFE Brake. Even if you’re not using the cruise control, DISTRONIC
PLUS can help detect an impending collision with a vehicle ahead. Its
PRE‑SAFE Brake system can alert the driver and automatically apply up
to 100% braking force, to help reduce the severity of an impact.11
Nine air bags. Three decades ago, the CL‑ Class was the first production
coupe equipped with standard front air bags. Today, a system of nine air
bags offers 11-way protection, with dual-stage front air bags, front and rear
side- impact air bags, and side curtain air bags for all four seats.12 In a rear
impact, NECK‑PRO® active front head restraints help to reduce whiplash.
Active Blind Spot and Lane Keeping Assists. A pair of advanced optional
systems6 can alert you to some unseen vehicles in the adjacent lane,13 and
can warn you of unintended drifting across visible lane markings.5 Both
systems also incorporate advanced active technology that can help guide
the car back into its own lane, should the driver disregard the alerts.
UNIMAGINABLE COMFORT. UNFORGETTABLY CRAFTED.
If time travel were possible, the CL‑ Class cabin might be the ideal environment from which to enjoy it. Its technological innovations point to a future in which information
and entertainment team with intuition and elegance — from the powerful simplicity of its central controller to the ease with which it responds to your voice. The exceptional
craftsmanship evident in its impeccably stitched seats, dash and console, or in the glow of hand -finished wood cascading from its dash, recalls an era of handwork that’s all
but forgotten by most automakers. And as you savor its lavish comforts, a journey of any length is measured not by the time it takes but by the experience the car grants to
all four of its individually seated occupants. It’s a habitat that transcends space as well, from its generous room and gracefully flowing design to the seemingly infinite views
presented by its frameless, dual-pane and infrared -reflecting side windows. Futuristic innovation feels instantly familiar in the CL‑ Class, yet it remains endlessly fascinating.
And from the driver seat, what starts as a moment of passion is sustained for years as an unfading sense of contentment, and an unforgettable sensation of time well spent.

Extraordinary. Heated and Active Ventilated front
seats feature 16‑ way power adjustment — including
4‑ way lumbar support — and a 3‑ position memory.
Active multicontour front seats (optional on the
CL 550 4matic) include a massage function and can
increase lateral support in cornering maneuvers. The
wood/leather multifunction steering wheel puts audio,
Bluetooth®14 and other frequently used controls at
your fingertips, while available heating6 of its Premium
leather rim offers rapid warmth on chilly mornings.
Exquisite. A 15‑ speaker harman/kardon LOGIC7®

surround sound. Your listening choices are virtually
limitless: HD Radio™ stations, SiriusXM Radio,15 a
6 ‑DVD/CD changer, a memory card reader, iPod®
integration,16 a 7.2GB Music Register for storing digital
music files, and even an AUX jack and USB port. The
40GB hard-drive navigation system features SiriusXM
Traffic with dynamic re-routing, plus Zagat® Survey
ratings for restaurants, hotels and golf courses.17
Expedient. The COMAND® system’s elegant central
controller, vivid 8" in-dash screen and Enhanced Voice
Control system offer easy access to the entertainment
and navigation, along with illustrated adjustment of
numerous comfort settings. Crisp, clear instruments
include another 8" LCD screen that serves primarily
as the analog speedometer. An electronic selector
and shift paddles put gear changes at your fingertips.
PARKTRONIC with Parking Guidance sizes up parallel parking spots as you drive by, then helps guide you in.
Exceptional. Unexpected amenties abound in the
cabin. KEYLESS‑GO® lets you unlock and start the car
without taking the key from your pocket. Power ports
include a household-type 115-volt socket. In darkness,
fiber-optic LED ambient lighting casts a soothing glow
in any of three selectable hues. The dual-zone climate
control filters dust, pollen, smog and odors. And the
exclusive SPLITVIEW option18 lets the central in-dash
screen show a DVD movie to the front passenger while
retaining its COMAND system functions for the driver.
ONE MAN, ONE ENGINE.
PERFORMANCE ART, SIGNED BY THE ARTIST.
The heart of a CL 63 AMG or CL 65 AMG Coupe is its engine — a work of modern art crafted by
the hands of its own master engine builder, and crowned by a plaque bearing his signature.
The soul of AMG® traces to an old German mill in 1967, where two former Mercedes -Benz
engineers set out to handcraft champion racecars. Success on the track led them to apply their
performance pedigree and “One man, one engine” principle to streetgoing Mercedes -Benz
models. Decades later, virtually every facet of design and development — from transmissions,
suspensions and brakes to distinctive cockpit appointments — remains a seamless alignment
of hands - on experience and high-performance engineering. The result is an automobile that
can satisfy both the highest demands of driving and the deepest desires of its driver.
The CL 63 AMG. A handcrafted 536‑hp 5.5‑liter biturbo
V‑8 delivers 60 mph in 4.4 seconds.1 A 7-speed AMG
SPEEDSHIFT® MCT transmission offers 100‑millisecond
manual shifts and a fuel-saving ECO Start/Stop feature.
The performance-calibrated Active Body Control (ABC®),
massive compound brakes with dual front calipers, and
20" wheels3 all carry the pedigree of AMG. An optional
AMG Performance Package further boosts the engine’s
output to 563 hp, for a 0–60 time of just 4.3 seconds.

The CL 65 AMG. The 4.2‑second sprint to 60 mph1 is
just one measure of its 621‑hp 6.0 ‑liter biturbo V ‑12.
Its torque summits at 738 lb ‑ ft — the mightiest of all
AMG engines. A reinforced 5‑speed AMG SPEEDSHIFT
transmission includes a paddle-shifted manual mode.
Beyond its AMG- calibrated ABC and huge compound
brakes, the superlative CL 65 AMG Coupe is set apart
by its ultralight forged - alloy 20" AMG wheels.3

Stated rates of acceleration are based upon manufacturer’s track results and may vary depending on model, environmental and
road surface conditions, driving style, elevation and vehicle load.
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.
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.
All Mercedes -Benz mbrace® services operate only where cellular and Global Positioning Satellite signals are available, which are
provided by third parties and not within the control of Mercedes -Benz USA, LLC. An mbrace subscription trial period is offered
on new, Certified Pre-Owned and pre-owned 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. See your dealer or MBUSA.com/mbrace for details, including a list of compatible smartphones.
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 20 mph.
Features noted are standard on CL 600 and CL 65 AMG. Heated steering wheel is optional on CL 63 AMG and CL 65 AMG at no
extra charge, and includes wood/leather steering wheel.
Night View Assist® does not replace the use of headlamps and must not be used as the primary visual source for the driver.
Rear view camera does not audibly notify driver of nearby objects and is not a substitute for actively checking around the vehicle
for any obstacles or people. Images displayed may be limited to camera field of view, weather, lighting conditions and the presence
of dirt, ice or snow on the camera.
PRE-SAFE® closes the front side windows and sunroof when the system’s sensors detect side movement that suggests a
possible rollover.
Braking effectiveness also depends on proper brake maintenance, and tire and road conditions.
DISTRONIC PLUS® adaptive cruise control is no substitute for active driving involvement. It does not react to stationary
objects, nor recognize or predict the curvature and lane layout of the road 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. After braking the car for stopped traffic
ahead, system resumes automatically only if traffic pauses for less than 3 seconds.
WARNING: THE FORCES OF A DEPLOYING AIR BAG CAN CAUSE SERIOUS OR FATAL INJURIES TO A CHILD UNDER AGE 13. THE
SAFEST SEATING POSITION FOR YOUR CHILD IS IN THE REAR SEAT, BELTED INTO AN APPROPRIATE, PROPERLY INSTALLED
CHILD SEAT, OR CORRECTLY WEARING A SEAT BELT IF TOO LARGE FOR A CHILD SEAT. SEE OPERATOR’S MANUAL FOR
ADDITIONAL WARNINGS AND INFORMATION ON AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS AND CHILD SEATS.
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.
Bluetooth® interface does not provide phone charging or external antenna. Voice interactivity feature is dependent on selected
handset. Visit MBUSA-Mobile.com for details. Phone sold separately. See dealer for a list of approved compatible phones.
The purchase of a new, satellite radio-enabled vehicle includes 6 months of service for SiriusXM Radio and SiriusXM Traffic.
SiriusXM Traffic is available in select markets. If you decide to continue your SiriusXM service at the end of this period, all SiriusXM
services are sold separately, and the plan you choose will automatically renew and bill at then-current rates until you call
1‑866‑635‑2349 to cancel. See SiriusXM Customer Agreement for complete terms, www.siriusxm.com. Sirius U.S. Satellite service
available only to those at least 18 years of age in the 48 contiguous United States, DC and Puerto Rico (with coverage limitations).
All iPod® devices are sold separately. Feature not compatible with iPod Shuffle. See dealer for details.
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.
System availability and use is not yet approved in all 50 states. See your dealer for the latest information, and check local laws
regarding the use of front-seat video displays in your area.
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.
mbrace is compatible with Apple iPhone® models running iOS 4.2 or later, and Android-based phones running OS 2.1 or later.

FOR A SMALL BLUE PLANET.
For more than 125 years — longer than any other automaker — we’ve been sharing this planet with you. And for
generations, Mercedes-Benz has been breaking new ground to help preserve the earth for future generations.
We introduced the world’s first 100% CFC -free car, not just in its air conditioning but in its entire production
process. We’ve used water-borne paint since the 1990s. And our cars have long used steam-expanded foam,
sustainably forested wood, and natural products from coconut, flax and even olives. We’ve been pioneering
advanced powertrains for generations, leading not just to today’s BlueEFFICIENCY gasoline, clean diesel and
hybrid models, but to the electric and fuel cell vehicles of a tomorrow that’s already here. Mercedes-Benz is
also legendary for making cars of exceptional durability. After all, it takes about the same energy to build a car
that lasts as one that won’t. And along with award-winning factories and processes, we’re helping to develop
local infrastructures around the world to help bring a greener future to life. Like every aspect of Mercedes-Benz
innovation, today’s work sets the stage for the mobility — and the planet — that everyone will enjoy tomorrow.
