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.


7/104

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.

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.

a maximum torque of

350 Nm and an output

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.

A driving environment which allows you to con-

centrate on the task in hand is not just a luxury,

it is also a major safety feature. It all starts with

the well - designed drivers area. The new dash-

board is horizontally structured and positioned

higher than in the predecessor model. The three -

tube instrument cluster is situated in the drivers

immediate field of vision and provides informa-

tion about key operating parameters. Depending

on the equipment version, you can use the

multifunction steering wheel for easy and con-venient control of various features while keeping

both hands on the steering wheel. And with the

optional KEYLESS - GO function, you can drive

off without even having to turn an ignition key.

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.

Safety


41/104

A theory which can save lives in practicePRO - SAFE : the integral safety concept from Mercedes - Benz

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.



44/104

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.



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.



46/104

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

concept of the car dealership was reinvented with

the opening of the first Mercedes - Benz Centre.Featuring the entire Mercedes - Benz model line - up

as well as the accessories range, brand merchan-

dise and an attractive programme of events, the

Centres now to be found in many of Europes

major cities offer a welcoming environment in

But its not just in large cities that you can

experience the legendary Mercedes - Benz brand

services, the comprehensive customer care and

during the purchase process and, most impor-

tantly, for a long time afterwards too.
