DISTRONIC PLUS incl. BAS PLUS and PRE-SAFE® brake[4]
At the push of a button, the DISTRONIC PLUS proximity-controlled cruise control helps the driver keep the vehicle at the desired (timed) distance from the vehicle in front when travelling at speeds of 0 to 200 km/h. Radar sensors permanently measure the distance, regulate the speed and engage the brakes as necessary.
The BAS PLUS Brake Assist in conjunction with the PRE-SAFE® brake system now helps to avoid rear-end collisions more effectively. If radar sensors identify a potential collision and the driver applies the brake, BAS PLUS is primed to apply braking in accordance with the available stopping distance.
If a potential collision is detected at a vehicle speed of 30 to 200 km/h and the driver fails to apply the brakes in a timely manner, DISTRONIC PLUS emits visual and audible signals.
If the driver does not respond to this warning, the PRE-SAFE® brake system initiates independent partial braking 1.6 seconds before a calculated impact at a deceleration rate of up to 4m/s2 and activates comprehensive PRE-SAFE® measures. If the system assesses the situation as highly critical, an independent full brake application are initiated 0.6 seconds before the calculated impact. This reduces the impact speed and the resulting severity of the accident. 
| | PARKTRONIC parking aid incl. Parking Guidance and parking space measurement
When parking or looking for a parking space, the driver can call on the assistance of the PARKTRONIC system. Ultrasonic sensors automatically measure the length of parking spaces parallel to the car when moving at a vehicle speed of 30 km/h or less. If a suitable space is found, Parking Guidance then provides precise instructions on the correct steering angle and points at which to turn.
| | Fire extinguisher, mounted | | Speed Limit Assist (in conjunction with COMAND APS)
With its integral camera the system recognises posted speed limits and shows the registered speed limit on the central display. So in particular for sections of road with continually changing road signs or in construction areas the danger of overlooking the speed limit is reduced.
| | Child seat recognition in front passenger seat (automatic) with transponder | | Reversing camera (in conjunction with COMAND APS) | | | |
The Blind Spot Assist system uses short-range radar sensors to monitor the areas to the left, right and rear of the vehicle at speeds of between 30 and 250 km/h. If the system detects a vehicle within monitoring range, a red hazard warning triangle lights up in the corresponding exterior mirror.

| | Harman Kardon® Logic7® surround-sound system
The Harman Kardon® Logic 7® surround sound system with Dolby Digital 5.1/DTS, 450 W output and 12 high-performance speakers including a subwoofer delivers outstanding sound characteristics. The speed-sensitive volume control continually adjusts the volume to the vehicle speed to guarantee a consistent sound impression at all times.
| | TV tuner (for analogue and digital reception)
The TV tuner lets you watch television during driving breaks: the receiver unit processes both analogue and digital signals and is controlled via the COMAND APS multimedia system, which houses a screen. The audio signal is fed through the vehicle’s speaker system. The receiving aerial is integrated in the rear window. From a speed of approximately 6 km/h, the image is switched off for safety reasons and reappears when the speed falls below this limit again.

AIRCAP consists of an air deflector module in front with electric operation in the roof frame and a draught-stop between the rear head restraints. By channelling the airflow over the vehicle when driving with the top down, the system developed by Mercedes-Benz considerably reduces both draughts and turbulence for passengers. This increases the ride comfort at the push of a button, particularly in the rear, and a reduced noise level facilitates communication.

Cabriolet comfort package
The Cabriolet comfort package comprises two innovative components that make open-top motoring a pure joy:
AIRCAP consists of an air deflector module in front with electric operation in the roof frame and a draught-stop between the rear head restraints. By channelling the airflow over the vehicle when driving with the top down, the system developed by Mercedes-Benz considerably reduces both draughts and turbulence for passengers. This increases the ride comfort at the push of a button, particularly in the rear, and a reduced noise level facilitates communication.
AIRSCARF neck-level heating extends the cabriolet season – and allows driving with an open top even when the exterior temperature is low. At the push of a button propellers on the reverse sides of the head restraints draw in air, which is then heated and blown out again through a vent in the front of the seat. It warms the neck and throat like an invisible scarf.
| | Anti-Theft Protection package
The anti-theft alarm system (ATA) provides warnings of possible theft and break-in. It automatically activates when the vehicle is locked using the remote. The system triggers an alarm when it recognises that an unauthorised person is opening the vehicle doors, boot lid or the bonnet. The alarm also sounds if the ignition lock is shorted or removed or the foot brake applied. The tow-away protection function responds to a change in the position of the vehicle and can be deactivated – for example, if the car is being towed or loaded onto another vehicle.
| | Dynamic handling package[7]
The dynamic handling package with sports driving mode boosts the vitality of your vehicle. At the push of a button you can select between a standard comfortable or thrillingly sporty driving style. "SPORT" mode delivers harder damping and changes the characteristics of the accelerator pedal, enabling you to experience a considerably more precise engine response. Independent of the selected driving mode, the Adaptive Damping System aligns itself with road conditions and the current driving scenario. The dynamic handling package includes speed-sensitive sports steering: heightened steering response ensures a particularly sporty steering experience in both driving modes.

The light package comprises bi-xenon headlamps, featuring variable light distribution for optimum use on secondary roads, motorways and in heavy fog, as well as automatic headlamp range adjustment. With the functions provided by the Adaptive Highbeam Assist, headlamps are dipped automatically when illuminated road users are detected and the light range of the dipped headlamps is aligned with the distance of illuminated oncoming vehicles or vehicles ahead. The Adaptive Highbeam Assist also increases the range of the dipped headlamps by up to 300 m to ensure that the layout of the road, pedestrians or critical situations can be detected at an earlier stage and more effectively. On free stretches of road the headlamps are set to full beam again and the widest possible light range used. It is no longer necessary to switch manually back and forth between high and low beam settings.
The active light function and the cornering light feature in the fog lamps are further components of the package. Making yourself seen is an essential part of driving safety. The daytime driving lights and LED turn indicator lamps are effective in attracting the attention of other road users, and the integrated headlamp cleaning system minimises dirt build-up on the vehicle's lighting system.

The memory package makes frequent switches between drivers much more convenient. It stores individual settings for the driver’s seat and front-passenger seat for up to three people. The driver simply chooses a setting at the push of a button and the seats (including both electrically adjustable four-way lumbar supports), steering column and exterior mirrors are automatically restored to the previously saved positions. The PRE-SAFE® positioning function can also move the front-passenger seat into a more favourable crash position in critical situations.
| |
The exterior mirrors can be completely folded in and moved back to their original position from within easy reach of the driver. Whether you’re driving through narrow entry ways and exits, parking the car or going through automatic car washes this preventive protection of the mirror casing helps avoid damage. Automatic dimming of the interior mirror and the exterior mirrors on the driver’s side help to enhance safety and comfort as it eliminates the need for manual adjustments.
