4MATIC permanent all-wheel drive delivers dynamic and safe handling both on the road and for off-road driving – particularly in critical driving situations. 4MATIC improves driving dynamics, traction and driving stability.
Acceleration skid control (ASR)
7G-TRONIC automatic transmission (7-speed)[2]
The 7G-TRONIC 7-speed automatic transmission increases ride comfort with exceptionally smooth gearshifting. The system can also skip individual gears, changing directly from seventh to fifth gear, for example, which is ideal for overtaking manoeuvres. Together with very short shift times and low noise levels, the 7G-TRONIC significantly enhances driving dynamics and makes a significant contribution to reducing fuel consumption.
AGILITY CONTROL suspension with selective damping system
The AGILITY CONTROL suspension with selective damping system can automatically adjust to road conditions and your driving style. With weaker impacts a valve helps to automatically reduce the damping power on each wheel, allowing for a higher road roar and tyre vibration characteristics. For stronger impacts the damping effect of the system improves and in turn can increase the vehicle's overall handling.
Safety
Adaptive brake light, flashing
Airbags with multi-stage deployment logic, pelvisbag and sidebags for driver and front passenger
Anti-lock braking system (ABS)
Brake Assist (BAS)
ADAPTIVE BRAKE braking system
The ADAPTIVE BRAKE braking system is controlled electronically and allows for supporting functions which improve safety and comfort. When it recognises emergency stops it increases the pressure in the brake lines so that full braking power is available immediately. With the ABS antilock braking system the vehicle remains more easily steerable even during full brake application and the ASR acceleration skid control system prevents individual wheels from spinning. The dry braking function uses automatic short brake pulses so that the brakes can function as efficiently as possible even when they are wet. And the hill-start assist prevents the vehicle from accidentally rolling backwards when it is starting off on gradients.
Electronic Stability Program ESP®
4ETS Electronic Traction System for all-wheel drive[1]
Headlamp Assist
Pedal-operated parking brake
Seat belt tensioner and belt force limiter for driver and passenger as well as for rear exterior seats
Kneebag for driver
NECK-PRO crash-responsive head restraints for driver and front passenger
The crash-responsive NECK-PRO head restraint system is designed to reduce the risk of whiplash injuries. NECK-PRO is integrated in the front head restraints and supports the head in good time in the event of a rear-end collision. If the sensors register a crash, they release a pre-tensioned spring that pushes the head restraints forwards and upwards. After deployment, the head restraints can be returned manually to their original position.
AGILITY CONTROL steering system with safety steering column, manually adjustable for height and reach
The safety steering column is an additional safety feature. In the event of a frontal collision the steering wheel cannot be pushed back into the passenger compartment. This reduces the risk of injury to the driver.
Speed-sensitive power steering[3]
Tyre pressure loss warning system
ASSYST service interval indicator
Seat belts height-adjustable in front, with automatic belt-height adjustment and three-point seat belt for middle seat in rear
TEMPOMAT cruise control with SPEEDTRONIC variable speed limiter[2]
Electronic immobiliser including ELCODE locking system with infrared remote control
Windowbags for driver, front passenger and rear passengers
Central locking system with interior switch and crash sensor
The Audio 20 CD comes with a CD drive, a 5-inch colour display and a telephone keypad and can be operated using the multifunction steering wheel. The loudspeakers provide a brilliant sound experience as they are optimally designed for the vehicle interior. An Aux-in connection in the glove compartment allows for connections to external audio sources. The Bluetooth® function allows a mobile telephone to connect with the vehicle’s system and provides comfortable hands-free talking.

Load compartment lighting
17-inch light-alloy wheels
Front foglamps with chrome surround
Crash-responsive emergency lighting
H7 projection headlamps
The H7 projection-beam headlamps, including fog lamps in the front bumper, deliver outstanding safety in dark conditions or when visibility is poor by providing a wider and more uniform degree of road surface illumination. Optimised lens and beam technology also ensure a greater range for the low-beam headlamps.
