REVEAL
Brilliant lighting. Bright white LED Daytime Running Lamps and LED
taillamps help make your presence more apparent to other drivers. With
the Premium 2 Package, 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 angle and beam pattern of the headlamps, to
maximize the illumination of corners and straightaways, without causing
glare for other drivers. The package also includes headlamp washers.
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 in the first minutes of each drive, to establish
a pattern and determine the warning thresholds accordingly.
Active Blind Spot and Lane Keeping Assists. These optional systems
can alert you to some unseen vehicles in the adjacent lane,
warn you of unintended drifting across visible lane markings.
systems are also available with advanced active technology that can help
guide the car back into its own lane if the driver disregards the alerts.
Rear view camera. When you shift to Reverse, this option shows a live
view of the area behind your E- Class on the large in- dash screen.
PREPARE
Body structure. Strategic reinforcements and the extensive use of ultra-
high-strength steel provide bodies of exceptional strength, even without
a fixed roof on the Cabriolets or full center roof pillars on either model.
PRE-SAFE. A Mercedes - Benz first, PRE-SAFE can help detect instability
during certain vehicle maneuvers that suggest that a collision or rollover
is imminent. It can then tighten the front seat belts, adjust the front
passenger seat and close the windows — all in an effort to better prepare
the occupants and restraint systems in the moments before a collision.
Accident avoidance. Two safety systems pioneered by Mercedes - Benz,
help you avoid potential collisions. The Electronic Stability Program (ESP)
responds to help keep the vehicle on course during extreme maneuvers.

Brake Assist can maximize braking pressure if it detects an emergency
braking situation, potentially shortening your overall stopping distance.

help 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 brakes. 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 a little easier.
REACT
DISTRONIC PLUS. This optional radar- based cruise control system, yet
another Mercedes - Benz innovation, 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.
PRE - SAFE Brake. Even if you're not using 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
10
to 100% braking force, to help reduce the severity of an impact.
Nine air bags. A driver's knee air bag augments the dual-stage front
air bags. Pelvic air bags complement front - seat side - impact air bags.

Side curtain air bags are provided at all four seating positions in Coupe
11
models, and for the front seats in the Cabriolets.
bags are optional on all models. Every seat belt includes an Emergency
Tensioning Device (ETD) and belt-force limiter. And in a rear impact, the
standard NECK-PRO active front head restraints help to reduce whiplash.
Pop-up roll bars. Concealed within the rear-seat head restraints of the
Cabriolet models are a pair of high - strength steel roll bars. Should a
rollover be detected, they can deploy in under one -third of a second.
