    Get a new feel for the roadThe new C - Class. Agility and effortless superiority

    Grey asphalt may not be one of lifes most

    inspiring sights, but for over 120 years now,

    our vehicles have shown that it can give drivers

    a lot of fun. Reason enough, we thought, to go

    a step further and offer a new interpretation of

    driving pleasure. So here it is : the new C - Class,

    a car that allows you to experience the roadas never before. Few cars can compete with its

    ability to adjust so many facets of its character

    from the interior to the drive technology so

    quickly and precisely in response to external

    conditions and your own particular needs.

    The keys to this flexible response are the

    standard - fit AGILITY CONTROL package, which

    includes selective damping, and the new

    ADVANCED AGILITY package with special sports

    mode ( available as an option from around August

    2007 ) which allows you to adjust the vehicles

    handling at the touch of a button. And with a wide

    range of uprated engines to choose from, the

    C - Class can be specified to match just about any

    taste.Youll also find that the interior offers notice-

    ably more space and, thanks to fine materials

    and a new design a more distinctive atmosphere.

    Whether you give it a more sporty feel or put

    particular emphasis on comfort is entirely up to

    you. The new C - Class comes in several different

    guises. As you will see, it is the perfect embodi-

    ment of the Mercedes - Benz philosophy.

    A mark of personalityThe design of the C - Class AVANTGARDE

    The completely new design of the exterior and

    interior is the most conspicuous characteristic

    of a larger, wider and more spacious C - Class

    which is available with an impressive new range

    of paint finishes and upholstery patterns.

    Whats more, you can choose which aspect

    of your C - Class you would like to highlight. The

    AVANTGARDE design and equipment line

    emphasises the cars sporty side. The dominant

    star in the radiator grille makes a powerful

    statement, while the chrome band which runs

    right around the body accentuates the taut lines

    of the new C - Class.

    A sure sign of styleThe design of the C - Class ELEGANCE

    The ELEGANCE design and equipment line

    brings the refinement and comfort of the C - Class

    to the fore. The characteristic star features as

    a free - standing element on the bonnet and the

    different chrome trim elements around the vehicle

    give the new C - Class a particularly impressive

    presence. Tone - in - tone colour schemes contr ibute

    to the warm, pleasant atmosphere of the interior.

    Convex, chromed badges on the front wings

    designate the ELEGANCE and AVANTGARDE

    design and equipment lines. Naturally,

    the timeless appeal of the CLASSIC design

    and equipment line is also available for

    the new C - Class.

    Agility

    Your most enjoyable drive ever.Each time you get inAn agile look right down to the last centimetre

    The new C - Class is a pleasure to behold : its taut lines lend it an air of

    effortless superiority while the wide radiator grille and distinctive rear

    section announce a vehicle with a real presence and a dynamic personality.

    But these compelling looks are only part of the story.

    The new C - Class is equipped with many innovative technical features

    which deliver a driving experience that is unique in this class. Thinkease and confidence. Among the highlights is the new AGILITY CONTROL

    package. This comprises AGILITY CONTROL suspension with a selective

    damping system which automatically adjusts the suspension set - up in

    accordance with the condition of the road giving you a consistently high

    level of driving enjoyment. As an option, you can specify the ADVANCED

    AGILITY package1 with special sports mode which allows you to choose

    a particularly sporty suspension response or a distinctly comfortable one

    at the touch of a button.

    And for a perfect driving experience not only on any road, but in any

    weather too, you can choose the optional all - wheel - drive system 4MATIC1

    .It is available for the C 280 and C 350 petrol models and now, for the first

    time, for a diesel - powered model, the C 320 CDI. As well as improving grip

    on wet roads, for example, 4MATIC offers a noticeably more dynamic

    driving experience in the dry, too.

    C 220 CDI has increased

    to 400 Nm and its output to

    125 kW ( 170 hp )

    Engines with the power to move youThe C - Class diesel models with common - rail technology

    Three effi cient and powerful CDI engines are

    available for the new C - Class. The C 320 CDI 1 isa six - cylinder common - rail unit with an output

    of 165 kW ( 224 hp ) which accelerates the car to

    100 km / h in 7.7 seconds.

    The two 4 - cylinder models, the C 200 CDI2 and

    C 220 CDI, have undergone numerous technical

    enhancements and now deliver even more power

    and significantly more torque. Thanks to the

    improved piston cooling provided by the enlarged

    oil spray nozzles as well as an optimised oil

    supply to the plain bearings, the C 200 CDI2 now

    develops 100 kW ( 136 hp ) and the C 220 CDIhas an output of 125 kW ( 170 hp ). Added to that,

    metal glow plugs have been replaced in both

    engines by ceramic ones which are able to attain

    higher temperatures for improved cold - running

    properties. All the diesel engines are, of course,

    equipped with a particulate filter.

    Its more than engineering.Its performance art4 - cylinder supercharged petrol engines

    You can choose between five different petrol engines for the new

    C - Class. The range begins with two 4 - cylinder supercharged models :

    the C 180 KOMPRESSOR1 and the C 200 KOMPRESSOR. Output and

    torque have been increased by new engine - management software and the

    modified shape of the pistons. As a result, the C 180 KOMPRESSOR1

    now has an output of 115 kW ( 156 hp ) and a maximum torque of 230 Nm

    while the C 200 KOMPRESSOR delivers 135 kW ( 184 hp ) and 250 Nm.

    Acceleration from 0 to 100 km / h takes just 9.5 / 8.6 seconds and the top

    speed for these models is 223 / 235 km / h.

    of 200 kW (272 hp)

    If it all went too fast for you out on the road,catch up on the facts and figures hereThe V6 petrol engines : impressively powerful and reassuringly quiet

    The three 6 - cylinder powerplants in the C 2301,

    C 280 and C 350 offer an inimitable combination

    of smoothness and power for refined perform-

    ance. The maximum torque of 245, 300 and

    350 Nm is available across a exceptionally broad

    engine speed range, ensuring that you can

    call on impressive power reserves in any on - road

    situation.

    Exemplary fuel use is common to all the V6

    engines, thanks to four precisely adjustable

    camshafts whose position can be optimised in

    line with changing requirements. This system

    ensures that the engines are always provided with

    exactly the r ight amount of fuel for the driving

    situation.

    The C 2301 has an output of 150 kW ( 204 hp )

    while the C 280 delivers 170 kW ( 231 hp ). The

    most powerful C - Class, the C 350, serves up

    an impressive 200 kW ( 272 hp ). It accelerates

    from 0 to 100 km / h in just 6.4 seconds, placing

    it on a par with a sports car although this is

    a vehicle which offers considerably more comfort.

    Incidentally, the 6 - cylinder models can be

    identified by their sporty twin - pipe exhaust

    system.

    Weve stepped up a gear or two.No wonder our technology is streets aheadTransmission technology in the new C - Class

    The C - Class is fitted as standard with a 6 - speed

    manual transmission with a particularly short

    shift throw which makes changing gear a joy.

    The C 320 CDI 1 features a new, modified trans-

    mission ratio, specially tuned to this models

    high torque, which peaks at 510 Nm.If youre looking for even faster gear changes,

    why not let the C - Class do the work for you ?

    A 5 - speed automatic transmission is available as

    an option for all 4 - cylinder models. The highlight

    of our transmission range, the 7 - speed automatic

    transmission 7G - TRONIC, is fitted as standard

    in the C 350 and available as an option for all

    other 6 - cylinder models. The seven forward gears

    enable optimum rev levels at all times and

    make for almost imperceptible gear changes.7G - TRONIC can also skip individual gears

    when downshifting for quicker bursts of speed.

    Your wish is its commandThe ADVANCED AGILITY package1 for the new C - Class :

    choose the driving mode to match your mood

    When it comes to dynamic handling, one of thehighlights of the new C - Class is the ADVANCED

    AGILITY package1 with special sports mode,

    available as an optional extra. At the touch of

    a button you can choose between a distinctly

    comfort - oriented driving experience or an excit-

    ingly sporty one. With sports mode selected,

    the system adjusts not only the firmness of the

    damping, but also sharpens the accelerator

    response. Assuming, of course, that you are in

    the mood for it. Otherwise, you can simplychoose the comfort mode and enjoy a particularly

    smooth and comfortable ride.

    Whatever the selected mode, the electronicallycontrolled damping system constantly adjusts

    to the driving situation and the condition of the

    road. This makes for a smoother ride, increases

    handling safety and, above all, makes the vehicle

    more agile. The ADVANCED AGILITY package1

    also includes speed - sensitive power steering,

    which has a sportier feel and conveys an even

    greater sense of control, plus a lower - slung

    chassis ( lowered by 15 millimetres ).

    With its soft materials, fine trim elements and

    more space than ever, the interior of the new

    C - Class is particularly inviting. The position of

    the drivers seat has been raised slightly and

    shoulder and elbow room increased. The rear

    passengers will also quickly feel at home thanksto their increased legroom. The exceptional

    ambience of the interior is heightened further

    by numerous attractive design details with

    chrome, wood or aluminium trim, depending on

    the model and your preferences. With a wide

    range of optional equipment highlights to choose

    from, including the new panoramic sliding

    A chauffeur - driven feelThe new C - Class : setting the benchmark for comfortable

    suspension and noise levels

    The C - Class has always been known for its outstanding ride comfort.The aim of our engineers was therefore to raise the standard yet again.

    The new C - Class now features a selective damping system. The standard - fit

    AGILITY CONTROL package automatically adjusts the dampers at each

    wheel to a harder or softer setting according to the given situation, ensuring

    a significantly smoother ride than conventional dampers, particularly on

    poor road surfaces.

    If you want to stay relaxed while youre at the wheel, it is vital to keep

    interior noise levels low. To eliminate wind noise from the C - Class interior

    even more effectively, we have optimised the shape of countless bodywork

    details and further improved the sound insulation.

    It there is one area that drives us to ever greater

    achievements more than any other, it is research-

    ing new safety technologies. As early as the

    1950s, we passed an important safety milestone

    when legendary vehicle safety pioneer Bla

    Barnyi invented the passenger safety cell.

    This era also saw revolutionary ideas put for-

    ward by many others such as Rolf Maier. In

    order to be able to study the crash performance

    of steering and restraint systems quickly and

    cost - effectively, Rolf Maier and his engineer col-

    leagues designed and built a special sled which

    was to be driven into a wall at high speed. Whenthey needed to create a crumple zone, the team

    came up with a simple, yet brilliant solution :

    gherkin tins from the staff restaurant a typical

    example of the creative spirit which character-

    ised this pioneering time.

    Much as we like to reflect on the past, though,

    our focus has always been firmly on the future.

    The best example is our vision of accident - free

    driving which is closer today than ever before

    thanks to PRO - SAFE . This integral safety con-

    cept from Mercedes - Benz divides automotive

    safety into four phases.

    To ensure a safe journey throughout, the vehi-

    cle helps the driver to identify critical situations

    promptly and handle them safely. In the second

    phase, where a risk has been detected, numerous

    preventive measures can be activated to reduce

    the risk of injury. In the event of an accident, theoccupants can benefit from effective, individu-

    alised protection provided by the comprehensive

    range of passive safety systems. Finally, the

    fourth component comprises the phase after the

    accident when further measures come into play

    to make the task of the rescue services easier,

    for example.

    Further information about the Mercedes - Benz

    safety concept is available online atwww.mercedes - benz.com / airbag - brochure.

    Focusing on helping you to stay focusedDrive safely, and avoid dangers before they have a chance to develop

    The majority of accidents start long before the

    actual collision : with a lapse in concentration,

    poor visibility or an unanticipated hazard. The

    new C - Class is therefore fitted with safety systems

    which promote relaxed motoring and help you

    to bring critical situations under control.

    For example, the optional COMAND control

    and display system and LINGUATRONIC voicecontrol, also available as an option, allow you

    to keep both hands on the steering wheel. When

    driving, you can also count on over 60 electronic

    support systems. Some are designed to alert

    you in the event of a problem the tyre pressure

    loss warning system, for example. Others are there

    to provide active assistance, such as the Elec-

    tronic Stability Program ESP , Brake Assist BAS

    and, for the first time in the C - Class, ESP

    trailer stabilisation. The ESP and BAS sensors

    can detect hazardous driving situations such

    as pronounced oversteer or understeer, dramatic

    steering movements, emergency and panicbraking and can assist the driver accordingly.

    A new addition to the C - Class is the optional

    Intelligent Light System, based on the bi - xenon

    headlamps. It automatically adapts the low - beam

    lights to the given driving situation, providing

    broader illumination of the road on extra - urban

    roads and improving long - range visibility on

    motorways. The Intelligent Light System also

    includes enhanced fog lamps, which significantly

    improve illumination of the drivers side of the

    road. Other components of the Intelligent Light

    System include the active light and cornering

    light functions. With these the headlamps followyour steering movements, lighting up bends in

    the road more effectively.

    PRE - SAFE If there is an immediate

    danger of an accident

    occurring, the optional

    PRE - SAFE system can

    tauten the seat belts, close

    the side windows and the

    optional tilting / sliding sun-

    roof or panoramic glass roof

    and move the seats into

    a more favourable position

    ( in conjunction with elec-

    trically adjustable seats

    and memory package )

    Some dangers seem to come from nowhere.Some protective systems are even fasterThe anticipatory occupant protection system PRE - SAFE

    Mercedes - Benz presented PRE - SAFE in 2002 with one particular objectivein mind : the valuable seconds which precede an accident usually elapse

    unused. The optional PRE - SAFE system is designed to make effective use

    of them. The ESP and BAS sensors identify potentially dangerous situa-

    tions such as strong oversteer or understeer, critical steering movements,

    panic braking or emergency braking.

    SAFETY | PRO - SAFE | 43

  • 8/9/2019 C Class Catalog 02

    45/104

    Theres more. PRE - SAFE electronically evaluates this information and,when faced with situations which are typically associated with hazards,

    it triggers precautionary measures to protect the occupants including

    automatic tautening of the seat belts, automatic repositioning of the front

    passenger seat ( provided it is electrically adjustable and equipped with

    the memory function ) and automatic closure of the side windows and the

    optional tilting / sliding sunroof or panoramic glass roof.

    On emergency braking, the adaptive brake lights are also activated,

    their flashing mode providing a more noticeable warning to following

    traffi c than conventional brake lights.

    When it comes to the crunch, trust Mercedes to cushion the blowRestraint systems and the passenger safety cell can protect you and others effectively in an accident

    Numerous occupant protection systems can signifi-

    cantly reduce the risk of injury in an accident.

    In the event of a rear - end collision, for example,

    sensors cause the standard - fit NECK - PRO head

    restraints for the driver and front passenger to

    deploy in a matter of milliseconds to reduce the

    distance between the seat occupants head and

    the head restraint.

    The C - Class is equipped with belt tensioners

    on the front and outer rear seats, plus numerous

    airbags, including two - stage driver and front

    passenger airbags, sidebags, and windowbags

    whose protection zone covers virtually the entire

    area of the side windows. The sidebags and

    windowbags are also triggered by pressure sensors :

    if the door deforms in a side - on collision, the

    increase in air pressure between the outer door

    panels and the interior of the door is registered

    by the pressure sensors, which assist the control

    unit in deploying the airbags.

    Furthermore, other road users are also pro-

    tected by means of the bodys smooth surfaces

    and its excellent programmed yielding charac-

    teristics.

    Your Mercedes may have been immobilised,

    but that doesnt mean it cant still help youSafety after the event : helping to prevent further damage and speed up the rescue effort

    In order to prevent further damage being caused

    following an accident and to assist with the task

    of rescuing the occupants, the C - Class is able

    to take various measures depending on the type

    and severity of the accident : the engine can be

    turned off automatically and the fuel supply cut.

    The hazard warning lights and emergency interior

    lights can be activated automatically, the side win-

    dows partially lowered, if necessary, and the doors

    automatically unlocked. To complete its holistic

    safety philosophy, Mercedes - Benz has also pub-

    lished multilingual rescue guidelines ( accessible

    online worldwide at www.mercedes - benz.com /

    rescue - guidelines ) as an additional aid for the

    emergency services.

    A clearcoat with a difference

    1934. The first Silver Arrow is probably the only Mercedes - Benz ever to

    have started out in life with less - than - perfect paintwork. When the Mercedes --Benz engineers put the newly developed W 25 racing car on the scales

    during scrutineering before the Eifel Grand Prix at the Nrburgring in 1934,

    the 300 - hp car turned out to weigh 751 kilograms one kilogram over

    the strict weight limit imposed by the international racing federation. Well,

    that takes the shine off things, mused Mercedes racing manager Alfred

    Neubauer then realised hed just put his finger on the solution. He promptly

    ordered the engineers to sand down the white paintwork, thus exposing

    the silver - coloured aluminium bodywork. This shed the necessary weight

    and the rest is history : Manfred von Brauchitsch won the race, and the

    Silver Arrows were born.

    2007. If they had been faced with todays latest - generation paint from

    Mercedes - Benz, the Silver Arrow engineers would have had their work cut

    out. Quite simply because the special paint finish developed by Mercedes -

    Benz is significantly more durable than previous clearcoats, producing

    a longer - lasting sheen which is noticeably more intense. The secret of this

    protective coat is to be found in the countless tiny ceramic particles ( each

    less than one millionth of a millimetre in size ) which are integrated in the

    paint binding agent. Both non - metallic and metallic paint finishes benefit

    from the more scratch - resistant clearcoat which makes them less suscept-

    ible to the effects of the weather and environmental conditions such asprecipitation, sunlight, temperature variations, dust and soot.

    craftsmanship involved : it takes around

    three weeks to turn this natural product into

    a perfectly f inished Mercedes component.

    Special computer - controlled planing

    machines slice the thinnest of veneers from

    the wood. The ones whose colour and grain

    characteristics match best are then used

    to create a complete veneer. This process

    involves placing the individual layers on thin

    substrate elements with intermediate layers

    of aluminium and glue sheets to ensure

    strength and durability. Up to 100 of these

    layers are applied by hand to create a trim

    strip. Take a close look at your new C - Class

    and you will see how much care has gone

    into every detail.Burr walnut Black birds - eye maple
