The Stowage Space package provides a variety of organisational aids. It includes a spectacles compartment, a stowage box under the front seats plus luggage nets in the rear footwells and a double cup holder.

The AMG Exterior Carbon-Fibre package with AMG carbon-fibre exterior mirrors makes a lasting impression while underscoring the sporty ambitions of the C 63 AMG.

The AMG Driver’s package enables you to experience speed. Participation in an AMG Driving Academy training session and an increase of the limiting speed to 280 km/h create motorsport feeling in its purest form.

The Performance package from the AMG Performance Studio is the epitome of the AMG model’s sportiness. The elements composing this package enhance motoring enjoyment and ensure a top-level performance when braking and accelerating.

Overview of the components making up the AMG Performance package:

The Anti-theft alarm system (ATA) with tow-away protection and interior monitoring warns in the event of theft and unauthorised entry, as soon as the system is activated via remote control when locking the vehicle.

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

Enhanced driving dynamics and driving pleasure at the touch of a button: Thanks to this package with its special sports mode. Pressing the "S" button causes the shift program of the 7G-TRONIC PLUS automatic transmission to adopt a more aggressively responsive mode. This results in a noticeably more direct engine response which delivers optimal acceleration performance and, therefore, enhanced longitudinal dynamics.

Another press of a button and the Adaptive Damping System sets up a noticeably firmer suspension response. In conjunction with the lowered suspension this results in significantly increased lateral dynamics during fast cornering. This dual approach allows the lateral and longitudinal dynamics to be adjusted separately.

The Interior Light package provides a pleasant ambience when driving at night. It makes orientation inside the vehicle easier and contributes to perceptual safety by making it easier to find controls that do not have illuminated symbols.

The interior lights are activated as required – partly based on signals received from a background light sensor in the overhead control panel – the aim being to reduce power consumption while still providing optimal illumination and ensuring easy recognition of controls.

The components of the package at a glance:

The Memory package makes constant switching between drivers much more convenient. It stores the individual settings for the driver's seat and the front-passenger seat for up to three people.

As soon as a driver selects a setting with the touch of a button, electric controls automatically set the seat, exterior mirrors and steering column back to the previously saved positions.

The package also includes fully electric adjustment and 4-way lumbar support, for both front seats, as well as electrical adjustment of steering column.

The multicontour seats take pressure off the spine and can be precisely adjusted to the individual anatomical and physiognomic requirements of the driver and the front passenger.

The pressure in the variable air cushions in the seat side bolsters of the seat surface and backrests and the lumbar contour in the lumbar and shoulder area can also be adjusted.

And the C-Class can provide for the needs of smokers. The Smoker package consists of an ashtray with cigarette lighter in the vehicle front, instead of a stowage tray.

The mirror package ensures increased safety and added comfort. When driving through narrow entrances and exits, parking the car or going through automatic car washes the folding function can protect the exterior mirrors from damage. The driver's side exterior mirror and the interior mirror additionally feature an automatic dimming function.

If you want to underline the sportiness and dynamism of the C-Class even more, look no further than the AMG Sport Package. The AMG-specific front and rear aprons as well as the AMG light-alloy wheels, underscore the power and athleticism of the C-Class Estate. The sporty suspension set-up with lowered suspension, sports seats and the direct speed-sensitive sports steering increase motoring enjoyment, and not only on long journeys.

The Lane Tracking package makes a decisive contribution to road safety: the Lane Keeping Assist function can detect the unintentional crossing of lane markings and warns the driver, while the Blind Spot Assist system monitors the critical sectors to the right and left of the vehicle.

The Lane Tracking package is only available in conjunction with the comfort multifunction steering wheel (except C 63 AMG).

The Style package further emphasises the sporty and individual interior style of the C-Class.
It consists of upholstery in black ARTICO man-made leather with contrasting stitching in porcelain and a steering wheel in contrasting leather with black stitching and perforated in the grip areas.

In addition, the trim elements are subtly picked out in a porcelain and black piano-lacquer finish. The armrests, door panelling and shift/selector lever gaiter as well as the centre console are highlighted with contrasting stitching in porcelain. The floor mats also feature porcelain-coloured piping, while the roof lining is in black fabric.

The new consumption and efficiency-optimised 7G-TRONIC PLUS automatic transmission is the highlight of Mercedes-Benz's transmission technology. Low fuel consumption and virtually imperceptible gearshifts make for comfortable travel on all journeys, both long and short .

AMG rear axle limited-slip differential with tyre pressure monitoring system (RDK) improves tractions, particularly when driving in sports mode, by reducing tyre slip and redistributing torque to the wheel with the better roadholding.

With the AMG Performance suspension, the vehicle’s agility and lateral dynamics can be enhanced even further. All this comes courtesy of even stiffer spring and damper tuning on the front and rear axles.

The self-levelling suspension on the rear axle holds the rear end of the vehicle at the level specified by the design engineer even when it is loaded, which has a positive effect on driving stability and handling safety – in particular when towing a trailer.

As a further advantage the occupants enjoy consistent suspension comfort as long as the load falls within the range of the axle load ratings.

Speed-sensitive power steering is power steering assistance dependent on speed. At high speeds power steering assistance decreases, while at low speeds power steering assistance is continually increased as the speed decreases.

The sports suspension (also a part of the AMG Sports package) features a tauter set-up and a suspension lowered by 15 mm.

Compared with the standard-specification AGILITY CONTROL suspension, the spring and damper settings are firmer for less roll movement and greater driving stability.

The speed-sensitive sports steering with more direct ratio complements the suspension by applying steering movements to the road more dynamically.

The cruise control and SPEEDTRONIC functions enhance ride comfort and safety: simply press a button to set a travel speed which is then automatically adhered to. With SPEEDTRONIC it is possible to set a maximum speed, which for example can be useful when there are speed limits to observe.

Adaptive Highbeam Assist provides the optimal low-beam headlamp range. This makes it possible to see pedestrians, cyclists or obstacles at an earlier stage than with conventional low-beam headlamps.

A camera is used to control headlamp range adjustment and the main beams in such a way that the road receives the best possible illumination in line with the current traffic situation and the road users ahead If the system registers oncoming vehicles or vehicles ahead, it continuously adjusts the beam range to the distance so that the cone of light ends before it meets these vehicles. The high beam automatically switches on when no other road users are detected. A special feature is the gentle transition from one type of light to the other without an abrupt change in intensity

The automatic child seat recognition system detects child seats with a transponder from the Mercedes-Benz accessories range and automatically deactivates the front passenger airbag.

An aerial integrated in the front-passenger seat sends signals. Transponders in the special child seat models from the Mercedes-Benz accessories range detect these signals and send a feedback signal. Based on this feedback signal, the automatic child seat recognition system deactivates the front-passenger airbag, regardless of whether the child seat is installed facing the front or rear. An indicator lamp lights up to confirm that the airbag has been deactivated. The belt tensioner and the other airbags on the front-passenger side – including sidebag, pelvisbag and windowbag – remain active in order to protect the child. The front-passenger airbag is reactivated automatically after the child seat has been removed.

The Anti-theft alarm system (ATA) with tow-away protection is automatically primed via remote control when the vehicle is closed and emits a warning if it detects that unauthorised persons opens one of the car doors, the tailgate, or the bonnet, or the ignition is shorted or removed or the brake pedal is depressed. In addition the tow-away protection function, which responds to a change in the position of the vehicle, offers effective protection against unauthorised towing.Tow-away protection can be switched off, for instance if the vehicle has to be towed or loaded onto another vehicle.

The rear seats with integral child seats provide appropriate protection for children. The integrated child seats are incorporated into the seat cushions at the right and left of the rear seat unit. A hinge mechanism allows the seats to be pivoted upwards and locked into place. Children aged four to twelve years may be secured with the standard three-point seat belts, while children aged two to four years must be additionally secured with a special padded play table. This play table, and therefore the child, is also secured by means of the standard seat belt.

The Intelligent Light System (ILS) with bi-xenon headlamps and variable light distribution – as an active component of its safety concept – ensures the best possible visibility under all weather and traffic conditions.When encountering oncoming traffic, in curves, fog or on free stretches of road the system adjusts to the situation and adapts the characteristics of the light individually.

KEYLESS GO is an electronic drive authorisation system. The driver does not need to hold a key in his hand to get into or start the vehicle. All that's required is to have the KEYLESS-GO key somewhere about one's person and to pull on the door handle. The car is started by simply pressing the start/stop button.

LED daytime running lamps can be seen from a long way off - by day as well. They also give the vehicle a striking appearance. They consist of four light diodes per lamp, and are integrated in the front apron beneath the headlamps.Thanks to the LED technology used they require far less energy than low-beam headlamps. The LED daytime running lamps switch off automatically when the low-beam headlamps are switched on.

The PARKTRONIC parking aid including Parking guidance assists the driver when looking for a parking place and makes it easier to park by giving concrete steering instructions.

Ultrasonic sensors in the side front bumper measure the length of parking spaces parallel to the car automatically if the car drives past at a speed of 35 km/h or less. Parking Guidance starts once a suitable space has been found and reverse gear has been engaged. It gives the driver visual and audible directions via the instrument cluster regarding the correct steering angle as well as the turn-in and turn-back points.

The PARKTRONIC electronic parking aid uses ten sensors to monitor the front and rear of the vehicle during manoeuvring and warns the driver if a potential collision is detected. If the system detects an obstacle, a visual signal appears. As soon as the distance drops below approximately 35 cm, a brief warning sound is emitted as well. If the vehicle gets even closer (less than approximately 25 cm away) a continuous signal is heard. In this way PARKTRONIC makes parking easier, even when space is limited. If the vehicle is not straight yet after the first reversing manoeuvre, the system also supports the driver in the parking manoeuvres still needed.

The system is only available in conjunction with the optional comfort multifunction steering wheel.

The preventive PRE-SAFE® occupant protection system can recognise critical driving situations and, if necessary, pre-emptively activate reversible safety systems to help reduce the risk of injury to the vehicle occupants.

This is based on PRE-SAFE® continuously monitoring sensor data from systems such as ESP® and BAS and identifying driving situations such as oversteer/understeer and emergency stops.

If a typical critical driving situation is identified, safety systems can respond within a fraction of a second. The electronic belt tensioners are activated, the electrically adjustable front-passenger seat is moved to a more favourable position (only in conjunction with Memory Package) while the side windows and the panoramic sliding sunroof (both optional) are closed automatically.

In the event of pressure loss, the reinforced tyre side wall takes over the tyre’s supporting function, thus increasing the distance that can be driven when the tyre is flat. Generally referred to as run-flat tyres, these tyres are also called self-supporting tyres. The side wall contains special rubber pads.

In the event of pressure loss, the stiff side wall of the tyre takes over the tyre’s supporting function. The maximum speed when the tyres are deflated is 80 km/h, while the maximum distance that can be driven is limited to 80 km with driver only and 30 km when fully loaded. These distances are increased if the tyre is only partially deflated. The tyres have side markings for identification purposes.

The rear-view camera offers convenience and added safety. Integrated in the boot lid, the camera transmits an image of the area behind the vehicle to the COMAND screen. The camera image not only makes parking easier but also aids in manoeuvring on difficult terrain.

The headlamp cleaning system offers additional convenience thanks to regular automatic cleaning. It saves tiresome stops to clean the headlamps by hand and ensures good illumination of the road under all weather conditions. It also ensures that other road users can still spot the vehicle easily – in particular under extreme weather conditions.

Each headlamp is equipped with a telescopic arm with an integrated high-pressure nozzleWhen activated, the telescopic arm is extended by water pressure and the washer fluid is sprayed onto the headlamp lenses at high pressure.

The sidebags in the rear are housed behind the wheel arch trim. When they are deployed during a side collision of sufficient severity, they provide potential protection for the upper torsos of the rear-seat passengers.

They are triggered when the central control unit and the side satellite sensors register acceleration or deceleration forces acting on the vehicle in excess of a certain threshold. The sidebags deploy at chest height between the vehicle side and the occupant.

The Lane Keeping Assist function can detect the unintentional crossing of lane markings. It can warn the driver by means of a discreet vibration of the steering-wheel if the vehicle unintentionally leaves its lane, drifting across lane markings that have been registered by the system. 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 helps the driver to avoid potentially critical situations by monitoring the areas to the left and right of the vehicle when changing lanes. If the system detects another vehicle within the monitoring range, a hazard warning triangle lights up in the corresponding exterior mirror. An additional audible warning sounds if the driver now sets the turn indicator to indicate he intends to change lane.

Prepare yourself professionally for every journey: with the AMG Performance Media information system you can record, view and store vehicle-specific data such as coolant and motor oil temperature, torque or accelerator pedal position, plus analyse any driving routes including sector and lap times for the next time around.

The system provides the option of adjusting vehicle settings. All information is shown on the COMAND display and the functions are accessed via the COMAND controller.

The main points at a glance:

The COMAND Online multimedia system is the highlight of the new telematics generation. This innovative system features an Internet browser, combines all audio, telephone and navigation functions and also includes the Speed Limit Assist function. The optimised control concept makes operation more user-friendly and intelligent than ever before.

Components of the COMAND Online multimedia system:

Speed Limit Assist uses an integrated camera to identify the speed limits on road signs and show the permitted maximum speed on the central display. The system also compares identified speed limits against the data stored in the navigation system.

In order to establish an internet connection, an internet-capable mobile phone with Bluetooth® interface is required.

An additional aerial is used for digital radio (DAB). Digital transmission enables a better reception virtually on a par with CD quality, a greater station range and more comprehensive programme and traffic information.

Switching between analogue and digital reception is automatic according to network coverage and signal strength.

The optionally available Harman Kardon® Logic 7® surround sound system with Dolby Digital 5.1 (Dolby Digital function only in conjunction with COMAND Online) and an output of 450 Watts turns every journey into an acoustic experience.

With twelve high-performance speakers and Logic 7® multi-channel technology, you'll feel as though you're in a concert hall – wherever you're sitting. And as you drive, the volume automatically adjusts according to the speed of your vehicle.

The easy-to-use docking station integrates the iPad® with all its standard functions into your Mercedes-Benz in an ergonomic, crash-proof way. All connections, such as for your headphones, remain accessible. The holder can be tilted and rotated by 90°. It is also possible to charge the iPad's battery using your charging cable through an integral USB interface.available for the iPad® and iPad® 2.

Communication without compromise: even while you are on the road, you will remain fully contactable in the C-Class Estate. With the optional convenience telephony from Mercedes-Benz your mobile phone will be charged, you can make and receive calls using the hands-free system and access all the important functions of your telephone on the screen in the centre console

All you need for convenience telephony is the Mercedes-Benz head unit with screen, a compatible mobile phone and a cradle to connect your phone to the exterior aerial via a fixed interface in the centre console. The functions of your mobile phone can be called up via the screen – incoming SMS are also displayed here. And if you want to make a call, you can dial your contact intuitively and with confidence using the control unit.

Live Traffic Information, a component of the optional COMAND Online multimedia system enables the reception of current precise traffic information. The system improves dynamic guidance and considerably refines the determination of the estimated times of arrival. Live Traffic Information uses a fast Internet connection for the transfer of traffic information.

The optimised Media Interface, including the consumer cable kit, provides a solution for connecting portable media players in the centre console which cannot be connected via the USB mass storage standard. This includes iPod® and iPhone® as well as media players with Media Transfer Protocol (MTP), for example, from Creative, Philips, Sandisk, Samsung or Sony. The system makes it easy to read off additional information such as track title, album, artist etc. (where available) on the vehicle's main display.

Once the portable media player has been connected, the following functions are available:

The digital ViaMichelin travel guide, which includes the ViaMichelin restaurant guide, is an optional extra with the COMAND Online multimedia system and is available in five languages covering 36 European countries. It gives extensive information on restaurants, hotels, points of interest and tourist routes.

The search function makes it easy and quick to locate POIs (points of interest) nearby or at the destination. Grading symbols from ViaMichelin help the user to select restaurants, hotels, points of interest and tourist routes. The software also provides other multimedia information (audio files, images and texts) on ViaMichelin POIs. The travel guide contents can be updated free of charge via the Mercedes-Benz portal.

The Bluetooth® telephone module with SAP profile is an enhancement to convenience telephony. It enables a mobile phone to be connected through the Bluetooth® SAP profile (SIM access profile) or for it to be directly operated by inserting the SIM card in the built-in SIM card reader.

Overview of the functions:

With the collapsible spare tyre, including tyre-change tool kit and electric pump, damaged tyres can be changed quickly and easily. The collapsible spare tyre only has emergency running characteristics, and is designed for use up to a maximum distance of 80 km as well as a maximum speed of 80 km/h.

With this optional extra, the standard TIREFIT tyre sealant is replaced by a compact spare wheel in the corresponding recess in the load compartment.

The panoramic sliding sunroof creates a transparent surface area twice the size of conventional sliding glass sunroofs and creates an interior with a particularly bright and friendly ambience.

It consists of a fixed panoramic glass roof and an electrically operated glass sunroof which slides over the exterior of the roof. The transparent surface area is very large and lets in plenty of light. When the sunroof is opened using the switch, the wind deflector is first raised. Then the sunroof is raised upwards and slid backwards over the fixed glass roof section at the rear. In addition, two motorised sunblinds are housed in the central cross strut of the panoramic sunroof, which can be extended simultaneously, one forward and the other towards the rear.

The washer nozzles and hoses of the windscreen washer system are heated, which means that they are better protected against icing up. This allows the windscreen to be cleaned more effectively at low temperatures.

The sliding glass sunroof increases draught-free air circulation in the interior and counteracts the tendency of the windows to mist up in unfavourable weather conditions. With the wind deflector, driving at a high speed with an open roof causes neither excessive noise nor draughts. Thanks to a newly developed function, the automatic opening and closing can take it to the position which was selected last.

The sliding sunroof is operated by the multifunction switch in the overhead control panel. When the multifunction switch in the overhead control panel is moved beyond a pressure point in the appropriate direction and released, the sliding sunroof automatically moves to the relevant final position (e.g. tilting, opening, closing).

When locking the vehicle with the remote control or when using KEYLESS GO with the door lock elements, the sliding sunroof can be closed by pressing and holding the lock button. If the button is released, the closing procedure stops. The "summer opening" function can be activated via the electronic key, which also activates the seat ventilation feature of the climatised seat (if this feature is present) on the driver's side.

In conjunction with the rain sensor, continuously variable control of the wiper speed is extended to include the function "automatic closing of the sliding sunroof when raining". With the onset of rain or in extreme temperatures, the sliding sunroof is automatically moved to the tilt position.

The rear side windows behind the B-pillar and the rear window are made of dark-tinted single-layer safety glass. This shields the rear passenger compartment and luggage compartment from prying eyes and emphasises the sporty character of the vehicle. The tinted glass also reduces the degree to which the sun’s rays can penetrate the interior and removes the need to fit additional sun shade systems.

The EASY-PACK tailgate enables comfortable access to the luggage compartment. Even if you have more on your hands than you can cope with, the EASY-PACK tailgate guarantees exceptional loading convenience: It is possible to open or close it at the touch of a finger.

It can be opened and closed with ease by pressing a button on the remote control, from a switch on the underside of the liftgate or from the vehicle interior. The stopping function protects against damage. The position of the tailgate can be locked at any moment, for example in order to prevent contact with a low garage ceiling. The opening limiter for the boot lid can be adjusted in the instrument cluster.

The THERMOTRONIC automatic climate control system allows the driver and front passenger to adapt the climate in their respective seats to suit their individual requirements – independently of each other. The system keeps the temperature at the desired level automatically, even in strong sunlight.

To this end, sensors register the temperature inside and outside the vehicle, controlling the heating, cooling and fan for each temperature zone individually, according to requirements.

The comfort multifunction steering wheel gives you comprehensive access to a variety of telematics and vehicle functions/settings. All the information relevant to the vehicle/journey is shown in the instrument cluster’s 11.4 cm colour display.

ATTENTION ASSIST is particularly helpful on long journeys and when driving at night; the system warns the driver if it detects signs of failing attention and increasing fatigue.

Between 80 and 180 km/h, ATTENTION ASSIST warns the driver visually and audibly as soon as it detects any signs of drowsiness or inattention. The background: sensors analyse driving behaviour to detect any changes compared with the previously determined individual driver profile.

The EASY-PACK load-securing kit secures your load in the luggage compartment against slipping and undesired shifting, for instance in curves. It consists of two rails firmly mounted on the left and right sides of the load compartment floor, to which securing elements for the cargo retention system can be attached.

The telescopic rod included in this package allows you to customise boot space or secure bulky objects. Round objects and loads with irregular shapes can be conveniently secured using a tensioning belt.

The four attachment elements included and the four load-securing rings (standard specification) round off the flexible range of securing options.

The electric seat heating allows graduated and individual heating of the front seats, heating them even before the car's heating system kicks in. The push-button switch control for each seat can be set to normal or rapid heating. If rapid heating has been selected, the system automatically changes to "normal" mode after approximately five minutes. The seat heating is automatically switched off completely after around 30 minutes. It can be also be switched off earlier than this manually Seat heating is also switched off automatically if the battery charge is too low.

The climatised seats improve ride comfort and reduce transpiration with a pleasant air flow and selectable seat heating. Fans integrated in the seat upholstery uniformly distribute a flow of air in three intensity levels under the leather backrest and cushion covers. The air flows through the fine perforation and quickly cools the surface of the seats to a pleasant temperature – even if the vehicle has been heated by an intense amount of sunlight for a longer period of time.

On cold days you can turn on the three-level adjustable seat heating.

The roller sunblind protects the rear passengers from direct sunlight without seriously restricting visibility, and also helps to reduce the unwelcome possibility of onlookers seeing into the rear. It consists of a perforated sheet and when not in use is hidden away out of sight in the door well of the respective rear door. The roller blind is pulled out manually and attached to the upper part of the window frame, thus covering the rear side windows.

The auxiliary heater provides pleasant temperatures and removes ice from the windows even before your journey begins. The heater has an output of five kilowatts and functions independently of the engine. It can be activated with a switch in the vehicle, by remote control from a distance of up to 300 metres or using a timer function.
