Four fine equipment packages and additional optional extras offer you unrivalled scope for expressing your own distinctive character. Metallic surfaces in fine silver chrome reflect self-assurance, painstaking attention to detail creates an ambience of wellbeing, dark-tinted heat-insulating glass for the rear and side windows is a cool way of giving prying eyes the cold shoulder. With all these possibilities, the B-Class demonstrates to perfection that good taste has at least as many dimensions as you do. → Page 48–67 20 We invest over 700 crashes per annum in the safety of our vehicles Insight In the crash-test hall at Mercedes-Benz every model is tested for its sheet metal panels and body: we simulate minor and severe collisions, as well as impact situations from the front, from behind, from the side and from above. From our results we develop the best-possible impact protection for our vehicles. Around 700 cars a year are pushed against the wall in our schedule of precise testing. But crash tests are only the most spectacular part of the Daimler safety philosophy. For our integral safety concept blends numerous active and passive safety systems, to enable you to be even safer and enjoy even more effortless superiority from your car when out on the road. But above all to enable a potential accident to be detected in advance and to reduce the severity of the accident if the worst should come to the worst. This is why the B-Class’s standard-specification COLLISION PREVENTION ASSIST monitors the area in front of the vehicle at speeds from 30 to 250 km/h. If it recognises a hazard, it can warn against accidents at an early stage and thus help prevent rear-end collisions. 21 22 As of now, this happens in the best of families Insight Just between the two of us: do your little guests in the rear also sometimes forget that they aren’t all alone in the world? When they prepare for their glittering singing career in stop-and-go traffic, generously distribute biscuits all over the rear seat, try out one funny face after another at the pedestrian crossing … i.e. when they’re simply being children? In the B-Class it really is easy just to be yourself without being given any strange looks – simply get in and close the door. Because once inside, not only are you welcomed by an interior that has been lovingly designed with great attention to detail and immediately becomes a second home for your entire family; the optionally available dark-tinted rear and rear side windows conceal everything that isn’t intended to feed the curiosity of others. With this much privacy there is only one thing left for the public to see: a model family. 23 ders. Technical data. Dimensions. Services. BlueEFFICIENCY. Assistance systems. Uph Design.

By the end of 2012, more than 140 Mercedes-Benz models will be available with BlueEFFICIENCY technologies, all of which help you reduce your impact on the environment to a significant degree. Our BlueEFFICIENCY concept comprises innovations for efficient mobility as well as optimised processes all the way along the value chain. The BlueEFFICIENCY measures – the Mercedes-Benz efficiency package. Comprehensive vehicle optimisation measures save fuel and ease the burden on the environment with each model featuring a combination of the most efficient engine with latest-generation aerodynamic and energy-management measures. These include the ECO start/stop function, which is available for the majority of models. The BlueDIRECT V6 and V8 petrol engines, which feature in many model series, deliver a much higher power output while reducing fuel consumption by up to 25%. 1 BlueTEC – the clean diesel. A modular emission-control system makes BlueTEC an exceptionally clean diesel technology, as it not only removes up to 95% of the particulate matter from the exhaust gases but also reduces nitrogen oxides by up to 90%. What remains is mainly water and nitrogen. HYBRID – combustion engine and electric motor intelligently combined. The electric motor can support the combustion engine during acceleration (boost effect) or act as a generator which charges the battery during braking (recuperation). The latest-generation hybrid drive system even allows all-electric operation up to 35 km/h as well as efficient, emission-free “gliding”: at speeds below 160 km/h, the combustion engine is shut off automatically on the overrun and the drive system is disengaged. And for the first time, this technology is available with a diesel engine in a premium-class vehicle: the E 300 BlueTEC HYBRID1. Innovative drive systems that break new ground: E-CELL and F-CELL. We already have a small series production run of two locally emission-free drive systems on the road: the A-Class E-CELL draws its energy straight from two lithium-ion batteries while the B-Class F-CELL uses hydrogen to generate power for the electric motor. Our vision of emission-free driving is also set to become reality in the luxury class soon in the form of the F 125! F-CELL Plug-in HYBRID. But that is not all: under the banner “Design for Environment”, we also look at a vehicle’s entire lifecycle and work hard to preserve the environment from the planning stage right through to recycling. Whatʼs more, we are involved in the development of alternative fuels and carry out research in the field of bionics. Further information about our comprehensive measures can be found at: www.mercedes-benz.com/blueefficiency E-Class E 300 BlueTEC HYBRID Saloon: the vehicle complies with the Euro 5 emission class. Fuel consumption – urban: 4.3–4.2 l/100 km, extra-urban: 4.3–4.2 l/100 km, combined: 4.3–4.2 l/100 km; CO2 emissions combined: 112–109 g/km The figures shown were obtained in accordance with the prescribed measuring process (Directive [EC] 715/2007 in the currently applicable version). The figures are not based on an individual model and do not constitute part of the product offer; they are provided solely for purposes of comparison between different vehicle models Equipment & appointments Services Facts & colours B-Class BlueEFFICIENCY The B-Class’s holistic approach combines agility and dynamism with leading-edge efficiency technologies as well as innovative packages of measures aimed at optimising both fuel consumption and emissions. Every B-Class delivered is a BlueEFFICIENCY model. What’s more, the International Environmental Certificate “Design for Environment” (ISO/TR 14062) attests to its high environmental compatibility, from production and usage right through to end-of-life disposal. 5 6 4 7 3 8 2 9 BlueEFFICIENCY comprises a whole package of specific measures: 1 Ancillary components controlled to save energy 2 Adjustable radiator shutter (B 180 BlueEFFICIENCY) and controlled oil pump 3 Particularly efficient alternator 4 Engines with direct petrol injection; optimised diesel engines 10 5 Refrigerant compressor property 6 Optimised aerodynamics. 13% improvement over the predecessor 1 model (cd value = 0.26) 7 ECO start/stop function 11 8 Current fuel consumption indicator 9 All engines comply with the Euro 5 emission class 10 Tyres with reduced rolling resistance 11 Dual clutch transmission 7G-DCT (as an option) 29 30 Safety Drive system & chassis Comfort Diesel engines Economical, clean, powerful: the B-Class also signals the launch of the latest Mercedes-Benz diesel technology. The powerful and quiet engines impress with their optimised emission and fuel-consumption figures. 4-cylinder in-line engines. The 4-cylinder diesel engine proves its up-to-the-minute qualities in both output categories: it impresses with a hefty torque and its immediate response, even in the lower engine speed B 180 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY 600 150 500 125 400 100 range. At the same time the diesel engines are modest when it comes to fuel consumption, they are low on emissions, impress with their significantly improved quietrunning characteristics and with their reduced vibrations. All this is possible thanks to a whole package of the latest technologies. The fourth-generation common-rail diesel technology boasts an injection pressure that has been increased to up to 1800 bar, optimised combustion chambers and precise solenoid valve injectors. Improved ignition pressure and a turbocharger with a variable nozzle turbine ensure a high torque in every engine speed range. 80 kW 300 75 250 Nm 200 50 0 Torque (Nm) 1500 3000 Engine speed (rpm) 4500 Output (kW) The B 180 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY achieves its peak torque of 250 Nm at between just 1400 and 2800 rpm Measures such as tyres with low rolling resistance, intelligently controlled ancillaries and optimised aerodynamics all help to raise the efficiency of the vehicle as a whole sustainably. Yet this is by no means all: the current engine generation is characterised by its impressive output and high torque coupled with lower fuel consumption and reduced CO2 emissions. All diesel engines are fitted as standard with the ECO start/stop function, which automatically switches the engine off when the vehicle is at traffic lights or in a jam. With the standard-fit ECO display the driver is informed about the efficiency of their own driving style. This means that their own way of driving can be adjusted in order to reduce consumption. Both diesel engines comply with the requirements of the Euro 5 emission class and are available with the following outputs: – In the B 180 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY with 1796 cc and 80 kW (109 hp) plus a maximum torque of 250 Nm – 1796 cc and 100 kW (136 hp) and a peak torque of 300 Nm in the B 200 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY Equipment & appointments Services The progressive 4-cylinder diesel engine in the B 180 CDI BlueEFFICIENCY combines pulling power with low consumption and low emissions Facts & colours 31 32 Safety Drive system & chassis Comfort Petrol engines The petrol engines were developed with the aim of substantially reducing fuel consumption and emissions without compromising on output and ride comfort. The result: progressive, trendsetting engine technology. 4-cylinder in-line engines. The 4-cylinder powerplant with a displacement of 1.6 litres, direct petrol injection, variable valve timing and and a turbocharger offers excellent torque and power and exemplary quiet-running B 180 BlueEFFICIENCY 350 160 300 140 250 120 200 Nm 200 90 kW 150 100 80 0 Torque (Nm) 2000 4000 Engine speed (rpm) 6000 Output (kW) characteristics, not to mention appropriately low fuel consumption and emissions. The 4-cylinder petrol engines now come with a choice of three power outputs: The high-pressure direct injection via precise piezo injectors and an enhanced combustion process facilitate virtually total combustion and thus higher efficiency, which means that the fuel can be used more efficiently. The variable valve control results in an optimum cylinder charge level and therefore consumption benefits, which also come courtesy of the lower weight, less internal friction plus ancillaries controlled as required. And last but not least the petrol engines have the ECO start/stop function and ECO display fitted as standard. Both help the driver to reduce consumption even further. Over and above this the BlueEFFICIENCY measures such as thermal management for an engine warm-up phase that is kept as short as possible, an oil pump controlled as required plus a particularly efficient alternator. – In the B 180 BlueEFFICIENCY with 1595 cc and 90 kW (122 hp) plus a maximum torque of 200 Nm – In the B 200 BlueEFFICIENCY with 1595 cc and 115 kW (156 hp) plus a maximum torque of 250 Nm – The output peak in the new B 250 BlueEFFICIENCY1 with 1991 cc and 155 kW (211 hp) and a maximum torque of 350 Nm It goes without saying that all engines comply with the current limit values for consumption and emissions (Euro 5). The B 180 BlueEFFICIENCY delivers a peak torque of 200 Nm between 1250 and 4000 rpm 1 Available from 09/2012 Equipment & appointments Services The 4-cylinder B 180 BlueEFFICIENCY petrol engine boasts direct injection via piezo injectors and a turbocharger Facts & colours 33 34 Drive system & chassis Safety Comfort Transmissions Whether you choose the manual transmission or the 7G-DCT dual clutch transmission, whether you prefer an economical or sporty driving style – both transmissions for the B-Class are optimally matched to the engine. They impress where shift comfort, efficiency and weight optimisation are concerned. 6-speed manual transmission. All the engines1 receive a 6-speed manual transmission and an ECO start/stop function as part of their standard specification. The ECO start/stop function ensures that the engine is temporarily switched off, for example at red traffic lights and in jams. The 6-speed manual transmission impresses with its short and precise shift travel; the engine output, gear spacing and final-drive ratio were optimally matched to each other. A display in the instrument cluster gives the driver gearshift recommendations, supporting a particularly efficient driving style. 7-speed dual clutch transmission 7G-DCT (option). With seven forward gears and one reverse gear the dual clutch transmission combines comfort, sportiness and economy in unique fashion. It comprises two sub-transmissions which each have their own clutch, with one of these sub-transmissions supporting the “even” gears and the other sub-transmission the “odd” ones. During acceleration or braking the next highest or next lowest 1 B 250 BlueEFFICIENCY with dual clutch transmission 7G-DCT as standard gear is the default setting on the sub-transmission not in use at the time. When changing gear there is then a switchover to the sub-transmission currently not being used. This means that the gear change takes place without any delay or loss of traction. Both the clutch actuation and the gear change occur fully automatically, which is facilitated by particularly smooth gear shifting with virtually no interruption. The preselectable shift programs “Economy”, “Sport” and “Manual” can be set by the driver via a switch on the centre console. The programs differ from one another with regard to the shift characteristics and shift speed. This means that in “Sport” mode, changing up a gear takes place at higher engine speeds than is the case in “Economy” mode, whilst changing down a gear occurs earlier. The “Manual” mode gives sportily oriented drivers the option of performing gear shifting both via the selector lever and also manually, via the steeringwheel gearshift paddles which are included in the package too. There is also an integral ECO start/stop function which reduces fuel consumption. In addition an ergonomic DIRECT SELECT lever and the cruise control and SPEEDTRONIC functions are part of the equipment that comes with the 7G-DCT automated dual clutch transmission. The 7G-DCT enables comfortable gear shifting with virtually no interruptions in tractive power Equipment & appointments Services Facts & colours Chassis & suspension Totally according to your requirements: the B-Class is available with the standard-specification configuration of the chassis and steering or with the optionally available combination of the sports suspension and Direct-Steer system. Chassis and steering. Thanks to intelligent weight distribution, an optimised McPherson strut front axle and a specially designed four-link rear axle, the chassis developed for the B-Class facilitates maximum driving stability and ride comfort. The standard-fit rack-and-pinion steering with the integral STEER CONTROL steering assistance system for support in critical driving situations stands for precise handling. The power assistance is delivered electromechanically and adapts in accordance with the carʼs speed. Sports suspension (part of the optional Sports package). The sports suspension blends agility and high levels of handling safety with good road roar and tyre vibration characteristics. The springs and dampers have more Agility with a high level of comfort – the sports suspension with its damping system adjusts the shock absorbers automatically sportily taut tuning than the standard-specification suspension, whilst the level of the car is 15 mm lower, which reduces rolling movements and increases driving stability. Direct-Steer system (part of the optional Sports package). The Direct-Steer system forming part of the Sports package complements the suspension with a variable ratio depending on the steering wheel angle, thus ensuring that the steering movements can implement an even more immediate response on the road. It significantly reduces the steering effort required, in tight bends, for instance, or when parking. The straight-line stability, meanwhile, is especially stable at high speeds and the feedback which the driver receives on the driving situation is particularly precise. Not only does this mean that vehicle agility and steering comfort are improved; the Direct-Steer system also adds up to more driving enjoyment. 35 36 Drive system & chassis Safety Comfort Integral safety concept The vision of accident-free driving impels us. With our integral safety concept we are coming closer to achieving this goal – this is a holistic approach which can increase safety in every situation. As the inventor of the automobile, Mercedes-Benz feels a special responsibility for road safety. This is why we are the first manufacturer to have developed an integral safety concept employing a seamless combination of active and passive safety measures to provide comprehensive protection. This integral approach is divided into four phases and offers safety solutions for every situation. These include systems for safe driving which can help the driver avoid hazards by providing a timely warning and assistance. Our unique PRE-SAFE® system is activated in the event of danger and triggers preventive measures to protect the occupants. If, despite these measures, an accident does occur, other technologies provide the appropriate degree of protection. We have also considered the time immediately after an accident and have developed solutions which can help to prevent consequential damage and enable fast assistance. ATTENTION ASSIST (standard). This innovative drowsinessdetection system can be especially useful on long trips. At speeds of between 80 and 180 km/h, ATTENTION ASSIST warns the driver as soon as it detects typical signs of drowsiness or inattention. What lies behind this are sensors which analyse steering behaviour and can detect deviations from a previously determined, individual driver profile. A selection of these technologies for the “Safe driving”, “In the event of danger”, “In an accident” and “After an accident” phases is presented on the pages which follow. If ATTENTION ASSIST detects signs of driver drowsiness or inattention, it recommends taking a break Safe driving: ADAPTIVE BRAKE (standard). A driving dynamics control system with a modular structure. It offers additional safety and comfort functions alongside a base function such as the anti-lock braking system (ABS). It improves the vehicle’s performance with regard to traction, handling safety and operating comfort and helps the driver to master critical braking manoeuvres. The “dry braking” function helps to remove the film of water from the brake discs – the brake’s response time and therefore the stopping distance can thus be reduced. “Priming” ensures that the brake pads are placed against the brake discs as soon as the driver takes their foot off the accelerator pedal quickly. The time gained shortens the response time of the brakes. When moving off on an incline unintended rolling back is prevented during the space of time when the foot is moving from the brake pedal to the accelerator. If you actuate the brake pedal a second time whilst the vehicle is stationary, the HOLD function keeps the vehicle at a standstill, even if you take your foot away from the brake pedal. Equipment & appointments Services Facts & colours Safe driving: DISTRONIC PLUS (option). The DISTRONIC PLUS proximity control uses state-of-the-art radar technology to register the situation in front of the car and maintain the desired safe distance to the vehicle in front. The system operates at between 0 and 200 km/h and in the range between 0.2 and 180 metres. This means that it is also helpful in city traffic or stop-and-go traffic. It can automatically brake the vehicle to a standstill and also accelerate it again. DISTRONIC PLUS is only available in conjunction with the optional 7-speed dual clutch transmission 7G-DCT. Safe driving: Lane Tracking package (option). With the aid of the white lane markings, Lane Keeping Assist is able to detect a line and through gentle steering-wheel vibrations warn the driver if they are in danger of leaving the lane unintentionally. Blind Spot Assist uses two radar sensors to monitor the area which can only be seen poorly by the driver directly alongside and behind the vehicle. If the assistance system detects the danger of an impending collision with another vehicle when changing lanes, the driver can be warned by both visual and acoustic signals if the car is travelling at 30 km/h or more. Safe driving: Intelligent Light System (option). The system has six functions: country mode, motorway mode, enhanced fog lamps, cornering light function, active light function and Adaptive Highbeam Assist. The latter provides the best possible low-beam headlamp range. The headlamps can be dimmed automatically as soon as an oncoming vehicle with its lights on is detected. The LED daytime running lamps – with a chrome-look badge integrated into the bumper and the LED tail light enhance perceptual safety during the daytime. DISTRONIC PLUS can support drivers in automatically keeping their vehicle The Blind Spot Assist monitors the area difficult for the driver to see The Adaptive Highbeam Assist detects other road users with their lights on at a safe distance from the vehicle in front at the right and left sides of the vehicle and ensures the greatest possible range of vision 37 38 Drive system & chassis Safety Comfort In the event of danger: COLLISION PREVENTION ASSIST (standard). At speeds of more than 30 km/h the system is able to detect when distances between the vehicle in which it is fitted and those in front or stationary obstacles are too short. If a hazard is detected the driver is given both visual and acoustic warnings. During simultaneous braking the Adaptive Brake Assist can place at the driver’s disposal precisely the amount of braking power which is required to prevent an impending collision wherever possible. In the event of danger: PRE-SAFE® system (option). The preventive occuptant protection system PRE-SAFE® is able to recognise critical driving situations in advance and, if necessary, it can activate safety systems which help to reduce the risk of injury to occupants in case they should be needed. This is based on PRE-SAFE® continuously monitoring sensor data from systems like the ESP® and BAS, and can thus, for example, recognise driving situations such as oversteer/understeer as well as emergency braking. If a critical driving situation is detected, in fractions of seconds the belts on the front seats can be reversibly tensioned and the side windows and optional sliding sunroof automatically closed, so that the belts and airbags are able to deploy their full protective effect should an impact occur. The COLLISION PREVENTION ASSIST can provide visual and acoustic warnings The PRE-SAFE® system can support the protective effect of seat belts and if the safety margin is too short airbags In the event of an accident: restraint systems (standard). Mercedes-Benz ensures that the 3-point seat belts, belt force limiters and airbags are all coordinated optimally to minimise any injuries. In addition to the high-strength bodyshell structure and the highly stable occupant cell, seven standard-fit airbags contribute towards optimum protection of the vehicle occupants: front airbags, which can be deployed in two stages, depending on the impact severity and accident characteristics, windowbags between the A- and C-pillars and sidebags for the driver and front passenger. The kneebag can further reduce the forces exerted on the driver during an accident. Sidebags are available on the left and right in the rear as an optional extra. If the crash sensors detect an accident, the seat belts are automatically tensioned in an instant to secure the occupants in their seats. The belt force limiters, in turn, reduce the tension where appropriate in order to reduce the load on the thorax. Equipment & appointments Services Facts & colours After an accident: Mercedes-Benz emergency call system (component of COMAND Online). This system can make an emergency call automatically using a mobile phone which is on standby and connected to the vehicle as soon as the restraint system detects an accident. At the same time, the GPS position data and other data about the vehicle are transmitted to the Mercedes-Benz emergency call centre, after which a voice connection is established. Post-accident measures. To mitigate consequential damage and, if necessary, assist with occupant rescue, Mercedes-Benz has developed further measures such as automatic engine shut-off and activation of the hazard warning lights and emergency interior lighting. The central locking opens automatically too, and crash joints between the door and wing make it easier to open the doors after a frontal impact. The seven airbags fitted as standard are part of the restraint systems which are decisive in helping to mitigate the consequences of accidents 39 40 Drive system & chassis Safety Comfort Multimedia systems The B-Class offers a full range of entertainment systems, from the Audio 20 CD and the optional Audio 20 system with Becker® MAP PILOT to the optional COMAND Online multimedia system.

They can provide the driver with timely warnings of potentially critical situations, helping them avoid dangers. Reversing camera (option). The reversing camera with a wide-angle lens and guide lines provides additional support for the driver by filming the area directly behind the car and sending the images to the screen of the Audio 20 CD (or, on request, of the COMAND Online display). It is activated when reverse gear is engaged, thus enhancing safety when reversing into a parking space. Active Parking Assist, including PARKTRONIC (option). With the Active Parking Assist from Mercedes-Benz the vehicle looks for a suitable parking space by itself at a speed of up to 35 km/h. As soon as the driver confirms a suggestion for a parking space and engages reverse gear, the Active Parking Assist automatically parks the car at the press of a button. The driver then only needs to actuate the gearshift, the accelerator and brake pedal. The Active Parking Assist deals with the steering on its own. The During parking, the COMAND Online central display shows the area The display in the instrument cluster gives you a clear picture of what is behind the car happening during the current parking process improved system now works even more precisely: for the automatic parking procedure the parking space has to be just one metre longer than the vehicle. And entering parking spaces on bends has also been optimised. The vehicle can steer automatically when exiting parking spaces too. The driver only needs to operate the accelerator and brake pedal and pay attention to the traffic. The function for exiting a parking space is activated via the button on the steering wheel after starting the engine and putting the indicator on. The system then asks whether the vehicle should automatically exit the parking space. The Active Parking Assist system uses a total of ten ultrasonic sensors, six in the front and four in the rear bumper, plus there is an electronic control unit which processes the sensor signals and calculates the optimum route into the parking space. Equipment & appointments Services Facts & colours Speed Limit Assist (included with the optional extra COMAND Online). This assistance system can detect speed-limit signs using a windscreen camera and navigation data and display the appropriate symbol in the display on the instrument cluster. If the applicable speed limit changes, the display in the instrument cluster is amended accordingly. To this end, the camera monitors the area in front of the car on a permanent basis and filters out round traffic signs, be they speed-limit signs at the side of the road or on a gantry above the road. To detect the signs, the system also scans the data stored on the navigation system’s digital map, thus also enabling the identification and display of the signs seen when entering or leaving some towns and villages. Speed Limit Assist is especially helpful on routes with variable speed limits or road works, where Speed Limit Assist helps the driver to keep to the respective maximum speed stipulated, making a tangible contribution towards improving comfort on long journeys when the speed limits are frequently changing. The Speed Limit Assist can remind the motorist about the speed limit currently in force 43 44 Drive system & chassis Safety Comfort Variability The rear seats and luggage compartment are configured to meet a whole host of requirements, making a major contribution to the B-Class’s variability and flexibility.
