Anti-theft alarm system (ATA) with tow-away protection and interior monitoring
Child seat recognition (automatic)
The automatic child seat recognition protects young children against injuries from deployment of the front-passenger airbag. The system recognises if a child seat with a transponder from the Mercedes-Benz accessories programme is mounted on the front-passenger seat and automatically deactivates the airbag. As soon as the seat is removed, the technology on the airbag is reactivated.
Active Parking Assist, including PARKTRONIC
The active Parking Assist makes parking your vehicle easier. It automatically steers the B-Class into parking spaces while the driver need only operate the gas pedal and brake.
In addition the Parking Assist begins looking for parking spaces at speeds lower than 36 km/h. If the B-Class slows to under 18 km/h, the Parking Assist shows a "P" and an arrow in the instrument cluster’s display to indicate that it has found a parking space. The space must only be 1.3 metres longer than the vehicle – and the search for parking has come to an end.
If the driver changes to reserve gear, confirms the parking selection shown and drives no faster than 10 km/h, the active Parking Assist completes the necessary steering wheel movements on its own.

All traditional functions can be accessed via the buttons of the multifunction steering wheel, and the user-friendly arrangement of the components brings together all the key information and communication elements on a single surface. The radio is equipped with a CD drive, comprehensive radio options and loudspeakers designed for the vehicle interior.
Audio 50 APS
Audio 50 APS is the entertainment and navigation centre of the vehicle. All functions can be conveniently operated using the buttons of the multifunction steering wheel and the 5-inch colour display.
In DVD navigation mode arrows point the way. A radio provides entertainment along with a DVD changer which can play audio CDs, MP3 or WMA CDs and DVDs. To listen to music from external data devices, simply use the Aux-in connection in the glove compartment. Making telephone calls is easy with the hands-free system or a mobile phone via Bluetooth.
Media Interface
The media interface is a universal interface in the glove compartment which you can use with various mobile audio and video devices while you’re on the road. So for example you can comfortably access a USB stick or your iPod® using the vehicle’s control and display units.

Panoramic sunroof
Louvred panoramic sliding sunroof
The electrically adjustable panoramic louvred sunroof floods the interior with light and provides an open-air ambience even when the roof is closed. A manually operated double roller blind system serves as a sun visor which can also be used as a "draught-stop" when the roof is open. The transparent louvred construction made from polycarbonate (PC) is perfectly suitable for automatic car washes and resistant to break-in.
Headlamps in bi-xenon version with active light function
The bi-xenon headlamps provide higher brightness values, a larger range of light and wider illumination of the road surface than conventional headlamps. With the active light function the headlamps follow the steering movements and tilt to adjust to curves.
In turn the automatic speed adjustment allows for fast actuation at higher speeds or a correspondingly slower adjustment for lower speeds. This prevents the headlamps from frantically flipping back and forth, such as when driving on winding roads.

Folding and removable rear armrest, with cup holder, including through-loading facility
EASY-VARIO system
The EASY-VARIO system increases the flexibility in dividing interior space and makes it possible to create a completely flat load surface from the luggage compartment all the way to the front seats using just a few handles. Transporting bulky objects is also a breeze.
The seat cushions and backrests in the rear can be taken out, the backrest of the front passenger seat can be folded forward, and if necessary the entire front passenger seat can be removed.

THERMOTRONIC luxury automatic climate control
The luxury automatic climate control THERMOTRONIC provides individual temperatures and a pleasant climate in the vehicle interior. The system allows for targeted air ducting in the front seats and in the rear where the passengers can access a separate control panel. In addition a combination or active charcoal filter catches dust and pollutants.
To ensure an optimum climate, sensors permanently monitor the intensity of sunlight and the moisture of the fresh air drawn in. The values measured are continuously incorporated in the control system.
