It’s the courageous “what ifs” and “whys” that become industry-leading innovations — that become remarkable vehicles like the sculpted, powerful 2009 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class. This year, these iconic 4-door coupes boast design refinements that make their curvaceous steel skin even more arresting. Inside, a redesigned COMAND system that simply and powerfully connects the driver to communication and entertainment technology comes standard, as does the ability to stand out in any crowd. Or instantly leave the crowd far behind. CLS 550 shown in Iridium Silver metallic paint with optional Sport and Premium 1 Packages. Forward thinking. Incredible feeling. Car companies make cars. We make history. The world’s first automobile. The supercharged engine, diesel passenger car and fuel injection. The crumple zone, multilink rear suspension and pop-up roll bar — all were created by Mercedes-Benz. Yet while these and other Mercedes-Benz firsts read like a history of the automobile, just as important are recent innovations — advances like PRE-SAFE® and BlueTEC, the world’s cleanest diesel engine — that point to its future.

Our 5-arm rear multilink design features lightweight/high-strength aluminum components for poised handling in sporty maneuvers or severe braking. A suspension setting that can be chosen for a more taut, responsive ride. To compensate for additional load or weight, the AIRMATIC suspension automatically levels the car. The CLS handles with a precision equal to the power of its exterior beauty. As the sedan reaches speed, the AIRMATIC Semi-Active Suspension lowers the car, shortening both the reaction times and the distance to the pavement. An intimacy of driver and tarmac furthered through a selection of suspension settings that match the car’s actions with the driver’s desires. An innovative 5-link rear suspension, coupled with 18" wheels, high-performance tires1 and 13" front disc brakes, assures the ultimate connection with the road. In short, the CLS drives the way it looks. Superbly. CLS 550 shown at right in Indium Grey metallic paint. Please see page 41 for Endnotes. Sure, we have designs on power. Looks aren’t everything. In the CLS, there’s also power. Tremendous power. Under the sleek hood of the CLS 550, an aluminum-alloy V-8, paired with a driver-adaptive 7-speed automatic transmission, turns 382 horsepower into a 5.4-second2 rocket ride to 60 mph. It’s performance bested only by the best: the hand-built, 507-horsepower CLS 63 AMG — a powerplant so tremendous, it’s managed by racing-inspired, steering-wheel-mounted shift paddles and reaches 60 mph in a supercar-quick 4.3 seconds.2 CLS 550 CLS 63 AMG ENGINE 5,461-cc DOHC 32-valve V-8 ENGINE 6,208-cc AMG-built DOHC 32-valve V-8 NET POWER 382 hp @ 6,000 rpm NET POWER 507 hp @ 6,800 rpm NET TORQUE 391 lb-ft @ 2,800–4,800 rpm NET TORQUE 465 lb-ft @ 5,200 rpm ACCELERATION 0–60 mph in 5.4 seconds2 ACCELERATION 0–60 mph in 4.3 seconds2 CLS 550 shown at left in Barolo Red metallic paint with optional Premium 1 Package. Please see page 41 for Endnotes. CLS 550 shown at right in Black paint with optional Sport and Premium 1 Packages. That rare moment where we let ourselves get comfortable. Inside the Mercedes-Benz CLS is a wealth of luxuries. First you’re greeted by the finest leathers, hand-fitted over individual rear seats, as well as 10-way power front seats with 3-position memory. Gleaming hand-finished Laurel wood trim fills the cabin. Four individual climate zones cater to individual comforts. Your comfort being why we never stop pushing ourselves. This climate-control feature adjusts for air humidity or dryness. Remembers preferred driver-seat, steeringcolumn and outside-mirror positions. Upon opening the driverside door, the steering column moves up and away for ease of exit. Humidity/dewpoint sensor Memory seat function Easy-exit feature CLS 550 shown with Black leather interior and optional PARKTRONIC system and Premium 1 Package. How quickly the neat becomes the necessary. The CLS isn’t all looks, all performance or all innovation. It’s all of the above. The innovation begins with 40 gigabytes of the best restaurants and shortest routes preloaded into the hard-drive-based Navigation System.3 Enjoy over 130 channels of SIRIUS® Satellite Radio4 through the 12-speaker harman/kardon LOGIC7® surround-sound system with 5.1 Dolby ® Digital. The redesigned COMAND system lets you manage all this and more, easily and intuitively. And where it concerns telecommunications, Bluetooth® gives your voice nearly as much power as the engine. iPod®/MP3 Media Interface New COMAND system Music Register Bluetooth CLS 550 shown at left with Cashmere leather interior and optional Premium 1 Package. Please see page 41 for Endnotes. Allows you to connect and control various audio and visual devices through the COMAND system.5 A 6.5" color-LCD display with hard-drive-based navigation. With this feature, you can download music to the vehicle’s hard drive. Seamlessly links personal cell phones to the vehicle’s telecommunications system for hands-free calling.6 A dedication to looking ahead creates an automobile that can do the same. Fuel tank position Active Front Head Restraints Dual-stage front air bags Before an accident becomes an accident, Mercedes-Benz’s revolutionary PRE-SAFE® technology prepares — moving the front passenger seat to a more favorable position as well as tightening the front seat belts and closing the windows7 and sunroof8 to further protect. Additional examples of our unwavering commitment to safety? An Electronic Stability Program (ESP®) that senses when the car is off its intended course and automatically applies the brakes to individual wheels to help correct the car’s direction.9 Then there’s Brake Assist, which automatically applies maximum force during emergency braking situations.10 The brakes being something we never apply when it comes to safety innovation. The tank is positioned in an area that helps protect it from contact in a rear impact. In a rear collision, the head restraints automatically move to reduce whiplashtype neck injuries. Air bags inflate at a rate in relation to the force of an impact to provide appropriate protection.11 CLS 550 shown in Barolo Red metallic paint with optional Premium 1 Package. Please see page 41 for Endnotes. Radical only if you don’t demand the exceptional. CLS 550 shown at left in Iridium Silver metallic paint. CLS 550 shown above right in Capri Blue metallic paint. CLS 550 As rare in looks as it is rich in prowess, the CLS 550 is powered by a massive 382-horsepower V-8 paired with a driver-adaptive 7-speed automatic transmission. That luxury of power is matched by interior luxury — four individual climate zones and optional Heated and Active Ventilated front seats, as well as a standard 12-speaker harman/kardon LOGIC7® surround-sound system with Dolby® Digital 5.1 and over 130 channels of SIRIUS Satellite Radio.4 Meanwhile, leather seating, abundant headroom and legroom, combined with equally rarified suspension innovations, keep both driver and passengers comfortable and richly inspired. 5.5-liter V-8 engine AIRMATIC Semi-Active Suspension Hard-drive-based Navigation System SmartKey Sun-sensor climate control CLS 550 shown in Iridium Silver metallic paint with optional Premium 1 Package. Please see page 41 for Endnotes. As if it weren’t arresting enough, in its AMG incarnation, the CLS has been accented with an aggressive front air dam, chiseled side sills and massive high-performance 19" wheels.1 One master technician has assembled a 6.3-liter, 507-horsepower powerplant that rockets the CLS 63 AMG to 60 mph in a mere 4.3 seconds.2 Thanks to an incredibly talented sport-tuned AMG suspension and racing-inspired shift paddles, the car’s handling is nothing less than taut and immediate. Is it any wonder that one of the most appreciated interior amenities is the AMG RACETIMER12? Drivetrain AMG-built DOHC 32-valve V-8 507 hp @ 6,800 rpm 465 lb-ft @ 5,200 rpm 6,208-cc 11.3:1 7-speed automatic with AMG SPEEDSHIFT PLUS.™ Acceleration 0–60 mph in 4.3 seconds.2 Engine Power Torque Displacement Compression Transmission Chassis Suspension AMG-calibrated AIRMATIC Semi-Active Suspension.

CLS 63 AMG shown in Iridium Silver metallic paint with optional Premium 1 Package. Please see page 41 for Endnotes. 24 | 25 Brakes The CLS-Class’s internally ventilated disc brakes deliver powerful, nearly fade-free stopping control. They also come equipped with Predictive Brake Priming. This dynamic feature sets the brake pads closer to the discs when the driver quickly releases the accelerator for faster brake response. The Brake Drying feature helps increase stopping performance in wet conditions by intermittently (and imperceptibly) pressing the brake pads against the rotors when the windshield wipers are in use in order to remove excess water on the rotors.10 Power & Agility Multilink suspension The CLS-Class uses a 4-wheel multilink suspension for exceptional poise and control, even under severe braking. The 5-arm rear multilink design — a Mercedes-Benz innovation — controls rearwheel movement with outstanding precision. For more dynamic handling, the front axle assembly, front suspension and steering gear are all preassembled along with the engine and transmission on an extraordinarily rigid steel subframe. The use of lightweight/high-strength aluminum suspension components helps reduce unsprung weight and improve handling. 5.5-liter V-8 engine One of our most advanced engines generates 382 horsepower and 391 lb-ft of torque, with an amazing 75% of peak torque available at just 1,000 rpm. To help reduce engine weight and increase durability, the engine block is made of cast aluminum with a solid bedplate, an ideal construction for speed and stamina. Indeed, the engine’s smooth, immediate power delivery whisks the CLS 550 from 0 to 60 mph in 5.4 seconds.2 AIRMATIC Semi-Active Suspension For a balanced, comfortable ride, the AIRMATIC system employs electronically controlled air springs that adjust to changing driving conditions. The system also lowers the ride height at higher speeds for improved aerodynamics. To help compensate for additional cargo or passenger weight, AIRMATIC automatically levels the vehicle. AMG 6.3-liter V-8 engine The most powerful naturally aspirated V-8 in our lineup has been mated to a 7-speed automatic transmission with driver-adaptive AMG SPEEDSHIFT PLUS™ for ready access to that enormous strength. Feel a rush of euphoria as the engine develops a massive 507 horsepower and 465 lb-ft of torque to propel the CLS 63 AMG from 0 to 60 in just 4.3 seconds.2 And like all AMG engines, each one is hand-built and signed by a single master technician. Adaptive Damping System (ADS-II) Part of the Airmatic Semi-Active Suspension, our Adaptive Damping System lets you tailor your driving experience with three selectable driving modes — two for Sport and one for Comfort, all available at the touch of a button. ADS-II continually optimizes ride and handling by individually adjusting each wheel’s shock-absorption rate every time the wheel changes its direction of up-down travel. Please see page 41 for Endnotes. 7-speed automatic transmission The Mercedes-Benz CLS Coupe is the only vehicle in its class to have a 7-speed automatic transmission as standard equipment. A wide range of closely spaced gears delivers the ideal gear ratio for virtually every driving condition, which means smoother cruising and immediate response for acceleration and passing, and even improved fuel efficiency on the highway. Our Touch Shift feature offers you the pleasures of manual-style shifting. Clearly, our passion for advanced engineering isn’t limited to our engines. 26 | 27 Mercedes-Benz safety philosophy At Mercedes-Benz, safety goes well beyond engineering vehicles that help protect you in an accident. Our safety philosophy takes a proactive approach to many aspects of driving safety: active safety systems, such as the Electronic Stability Program and Brake Assist, help you avoid a potentially dangerous situation; PRE-SAFE enables the vehicle to anticipate and make adjustments to prepare for certain potential collisions; passive safety features include air bags and seat-belt tensioners; and post-collision features like automatic engine cutoff are designed to reduce the risk to occupants in the immediate aftermath of an accident, help prevent worsening of the situation and help facilitate rapid assistance by rescue workers. No other automaker has a more complete view of safety than the one that invented crumple zones and other safety advancements. PRE-SAFE® Mercedes-Benz originated this landmark system and it’s still the only manufacturer to offer it standard on certain models. PRE-SAFE acts decisively to prepare for a possible accident. PRE-SAFE uses sensors from two of the active safety systems already inside the vehicle: Brake Assist and our Electronic Stability Program. If system sensors detect certain vehicle movements that indicate an accident is possible, PRE-SAFE takes action to help protect the vehicle’s occupants, such as using electric tensioners to tighten the seat belts of the front-seat occupants. PRE-SAFE also adjusts the occupied front passenger’s seat to a more favorable position for air-bag and seat-belt effectiveness. If severe skidding suggests a rollover is likely, PRE-SAFE will close the sunroof8 and windows7 automatically. If no accident occurs, the tensioners loosen and you simply readjust your seat, open the sunroof and continue on your way. Please see page 41 for Endnotes. Brake Assist (BAS) Research shows that drivers seldom apply the brakes hard enough, soon enough in emergency situations. BAS monitors pedal application speed to sense emergency braking and, in such cases, can deliver maximum stopping power, thereby helping to reduce overall stopping distances.10 Protection Body structure A range of precision safety elements work together to protect you and your passengers in the event of a collision. While HighStrength/Low-Alloy steel in important areas of the vehicle helps to form an exceptionally rigid structure, advanced front and rear crumple zones deform progressively to help absorb the energy of an impact. A front bulkhead also helps channel some of the forces of a frontal impact under, over and around the cabin. Side-impact protection Reinforced doors, side sills and floorpan are part of an integrated safety design that also includes high-strength seat structures, Window Curtain Air Bags and side-impact air bags. All of these systems work together to help protect occupants during side impacts. Active Front Head Restraints In the case of a rear impact exceeding a preset threshold, the Active Front Head Restraints move forward and slightly upward, thereby reducing the distance between the head restraints and the front-seat occupants’ heads. This action helps limit the rearward travel of their heads, thus reducing the possibility or severity of whiplash-type neck injuries. Seat belts Equipped with Emergency Tensioning Devices (ETDs) and belt force limiters,13 seat belts are arguably our most important passive safety feature. If a collision exceeds a preset threshold, the ETDs instantly remove slack from the seat belts. Belt force limiters allow a slight amount of give in the seat belts and reduce the peak seat-belt forces on the occupant. Electronic Stability Program (ESP®) This advance continually monitors your vehicle’s motion to help keep you going in your intended direction. If it detects wheelspin, severe understeer (plowing) or oversteer (fishtailing), ESP can brake individual wheels and reduce engine power to help bring the vehicle under control.9 Mercedes-Benz pioneered this safety landmark in 1995 and has continued to refine its exacting performance ever since. Rollover sensor If the CLS Coupe senses certain rollovers, it will automatically deploy the seat-belt ETDs to help reduce occupant movement and, if deemed necessary, inflate the Window Curtain Air Bags. Integrated Restraint System The CLS-Class features the 10-way protection of a 9-air bag system. It includes dual-stage front air bags, a driver-side knee bag, front- and 2nd-row side-impact air bags and full-length Window Curtain Air Bags. The Window Curtain Air Bags deploy along the front and rear side-door windows on the affected side of the vehicle to help protect occupants from head injury and broken glass in certain side impacts or rollovers that exceed the deployment threshold.11 Please see page 41 for Endnotes. 28 | 29 Amenities All-new COMAND system  l Your center for easy mastery over audio, video, hands-free calling and navigation functions.

FEATURES AND OPTIONS 40 | 41 1 Lower aspect ratio tires and accompanying wheels provide substantially increased treadwear, increased tire noise and reduced ride comfort. Serious wheel and tire damage may occur if the vehicle is operated on rough or damaged road surfaces or upon encountering road debris or obstacles. These tires are not designed for use on snow and ice. Winter tires mounted on appropriately sized and approved wheels are recommended for driving in those conditions. 2 Stated rates of acceleration are based upon manufacturer’s track results and may vary depending on model, environmental and road surface conditions, driving style, elevation and vehicle load. 3 While the Navigation System provides directional assistance, the driver must remain focused on safe driving behavior, including paying attention to traffic and street signs. The driver should utilize the system’s audio cues while driving and should only consult the map or visual displays once the vehicle has been stopped in a safe place. Maps do not cover all areas or all routes within an area. 4 Requires subscription. Service subscription for the first six months included with purchase. 5 iPod is a registered trademark of Apple Computer, Inc. All iPod devices are sold separately. Feature not compatible with iPod Shuffle. See dealer for details. 6 BLUETOOTH® INTERFACE DOES NOT PROVIDE PHONE CHARGING OR EXTERNAL ANTENNA. PHONE BOOK DOWNLOAD AND VOICE INTERACTIVITY FEATURES ARE DEPENDENT ON SELECTED HANDSET. VISIT MBUSA-MOBILE.COM FOR DETAILS. 7 PRE-SAFE® closes the side windows when the system’s sensors detect side movements that suggest a possible rollover. 8 A small gap is left near the full-close position. 9 No system, regardless of how advanced, can overcome the laws of physics or correct careless driving. Please always wear your seat belt. Performance is limited by available traction, which snow, ice and other conditions can affect. Always drive carefully, consistent with conditions. Best performance in snow is obtained with winter tires. 10 Braking effectiveness also depends on proper brake system maintenance, and tire and road conditions. 11 WARNING: THE FORCES OF A DEPLOYING AIR BAG CAN CAUSE SERIOUS OR FATAL INJURIES TO A CHILD UNDER AGE 13. THE SAFEST SEATING POSITION FOR YOUR CHILD IS IN THE REAR SEAT, BELTED INTO AN APPROPRIATE, PROPERLY INSTALLED CHILD SEAT, OR CORRECTLY WEARING A SEAT BELT IF TOO LARGE FOR A CHILD SEAT. SEE OPERATOR’S MANUAL FOR ADDITIONAL WARNINGS AND INFORMATION ON AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS AND CHILD SEATS. 12 Only for timing use on roads and in conditions where high-speed driving is permitted. Racing on public roads is prohibited under all circumstances and posted speed limits should always be obeyed. 13 Front-seat belt force limiters are adaptive. 14 Certain Mercedes-Benz-approved phones support voice interactivity, but not the phone book download feature, with Bluetooth technology.

It does not react to stationary objects, nor recognize or predict the curvature and lane layout of the road or the movement of vehicles ahead, and can only apply a maximum of 20% of vehicle braking power. It is the driver’s responsibility at all times to be attentive to traffic and road conditions, and to provide the steering, braking and other driving inputs necessary to retain control of the vehicle. 24 Drivers are cautioned not to wait for the DISTRONIC Proximity Warning System before braking, as that may not afford sufficient time and distance to brake safely. 25 Unsecured cargo can become hazardous in a collision. Always secure cargo using floor-mounted tie-downs. 26 When equipped with this feature. 27 OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM (OCS) IS DESIGNED TO TURN THE FRONT PASSENGER’S FRONT AIR BAG OFF WHEN THE SYSTEM SENSES THE WEIGHT OF A TYPICAL CHILD 12 MONTHS OLD OR LESS PLUS THE WEIGHT OF A STANDARD APPROPRIATE CHILD RESTRAINT.
