The active multicontour seat enables a particularly precise adjustment to individual seating needs. It can continuously adjust itself to the current driving situation, massage the back muscles and reduce the risk of injury in the event of an accident.

Depending on the steering angle, lateral acceleration and speed the air cushions in the seat side bolsters are tightened pneumatically in two stages such that optimum lateral support is guaranteed even when the driver is employing a very dynamic driving style. After the dynamic function is switched off the previously selected pressure in the side chambers are automatically reset symmetrically.

Additional features of the package are:

The Anti-Theft Protection package comprises different systems and equipment which help to protect the vehicle from break-in, theft and being towed away. It includes the anti-theft alarm system (ATA) with tow-away protection and interior monitoring. Once activated by locking the vehicle with the remote key, the system issues a warning signal if it detects an attempted break-in and theft.

The finest materials add elegant touches to the interior of the CLS Shooting Brake underscoring its exclusive character.

The Exclusive package consists of:

The Driving Assistance Package Plus makes an active contribution to safety in everyday driving situations. The proximity control, lane-change control and blind spot warning functions together with the brake system optimisation all contribute decisively to safe travel and a safe arrival.

The Rear Seat Safety package provides additional safety for the rear compartment passengers. In the event of a collision, adaptive belt force limiters and sidebags for the outer seats in the rear can reduce the risk of injury to the occupants by providing optimum support according to the type of impact.

With the memory package the driver’s and front-passenger seats and head restraints, steering column and exterior mirrors can be adjusted electrically to any position. This increases convenience when there is a frequent change of drivers. The individual front seat settings for up to three people can be stored and recalled at any time.

When the driver selects a setting, electric controls automatically adjust the seat, exterior mirror and steering column positions to stored settings.

The 4-way lumbar support provides even more comfort. At the push of a button, the backrest curvature of the front seats can be set to meet individual passenger requirements and provide anatomically ergonomic support for the spine in the lumbar area.

When reversing, the driver has an improved view thanks to the automatic tilt function for the front-passenger exterior mirror.

The activation of PRE-SAFE®, also a part of the package, the PRE-SAFE® positioning function can automatically move the passenger seat into a position ("safety position") which is more favourable in the event of a collision.

The Multicontour Seats take pressure off the spine and can be precisely adjusted to the ergonomic characteristics of the driver and front passenger. The pressure can also be adjusted in the variable air cushions of the seat side bolsters, the backrests and curvature of the lumbar area. The controls are located on the side next to the cushions between the seat surface and centre console.

The package also includes the PRE-SAFE® positioning function, which enables preventive protection measures for driver and front passenger. If PRE-SAFE® detects a critical situation, the side bolsters of the backrest are inflated, securing driver and passenger in place sidewards. If a collision is avoided, the multicontour seats are deflated again once certain critical thresholds are undercut.

The multicontour seat package also includes the NECK-PRO luxury head restraints.

The automatic dimming function for the exterior mirror on the driver's side helps to enhance safety and comfort. This package also serves to protect the exterior mirrors against damage when the vehicle is parked.

Both exterior mirrors can also be completely folded in electrically and returned to their original position. Whether you're negotiating narrow entries and exits, parking the car or passing through automatic car washes, this preventive protection of the mirror casing helps you to minimise repair costs.

The Exterior Sports package provides a suspension with a sporty tuning (not available in conjunction with AIRMATIC), light-alloy wheels in silver or anthracite (optional) and a twin-pipe exhaust system with visible rectangular tailpipes integrated in the rear bumper. The rear bumper with black trim rounds off the sporty exterior.

The tactile warning provided in the event of unintentional lane departure and the visual and acoustic warning of the presence of a vehicle in the blind spot contribute to reduce driver stress, in particular on long journeys: The innovative Lane Tracking package consists of the Lane Keeping assist and the Blind Spot Assist functions, and provides a significant road safety enhancement.

Lane Keeping Assist can detect a traffic lane based on the road markings and, if the car is about to leave its lane unintentionally, warn the driver by making the steering wheel vibrate gently. If the turn indicator is actuated beforehand or the steering wheel is clearly turned, the system assumes that the lane change is intentional and does not emit a warning.

Blind Spot Assist, meanwhile, uses two radar sensors in the rear bumper to monitor the blind spot at speeds above 30 km/h and can warn the driver against dangerous lane changes if another road user is present in the critical area to the right or left of the vehicle.
