The world's first all-LED active headlamps, part of the Premium 1 Package, generate light that´s even closer to natural daylight than the standard Bi-Xenon headlamps. Active Curve Illumination and Adaptive Highbeam Assist continuously vary the beam pattern of the LED headlamps to help maximize illumination of corners and straightaways.
The CLS550 is a protective showcase of Mercedes-Benz safety firsts. PRE-SAFE® can detect conditions that suggest a collision or rollover is imminent, then adjust the front seat belts, front passenger seat, windows and sunroof, to better prepare the occupants in the moments before a collision.[*1] ATTENTION ASSIST can help alert the driver it detects signs of drowsiness on longer trips.[*2]
The COMAND system makes advanced technology easy to enjoy, with a convenient central controller and a high-resolution LCD screen. A 610-watt harman/kardon surround sound system delivers SiriusXM Satellite Radio[*3], HD Radio™ stations, or your own music via iPod®[*4], memory card, new Bluetooth audio streaming, or a 10GB Music Register. Navigation[*5] features an 80GB hard drive, Zagat® Survey ratings plus SiriusXM Traffic and new SiriusXM Weather[*6].
DISTRONIC PLUS active cruise control adapts to traffic, automatically slowing or stopping until your path clears. Its radar-based PRE-SAFE Brake can sense an impending collision and apply full braking.[*7] Active Blind Spot and Active Lane Keeping Assists can help alert you to unseen vehicles in the next lane[*8], help warn you of drifting out of lane[*9], and even help steer the car back should you disregard the alerts.

† 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.
1. PRE-SAFE® closes the side windows and sunroof when the system's sensors detect side movement that suggests a possible rollover.
2. Driving while drowsy or distracted is dangerous and must be avoided. ATTENTION ASSIST may be insufficient to alert a fatigued or distracted driver of lane drift and cannot be relied on to avoid an accident or serious injury.
3. The purchase or lease of a new, satellite radio-enabled Mercedes-Benz includes a 6-month trial subscription to SiriusXM Satellite Radio. If you decide to continue your SiriusXM service at the end of your trial, all SiriusXM services are sold separately, and the plan you choose will automatically renew and bill at then-current rates until you call 1-866-635-2349 to cancel. See SiriusXM Customer Agreement for complete terms, www.siriusxm.com. Sirius U.S. Satellite service available only to those at least 18 years of age in the 48 contiguous United States, DC and Puerto Rico (with coverage limitations). While the Sirius network of satellites and terrestrial antenna provides nearly seamless service throughout the contiguous U.S., Sirius service may be unavailable or interrupted for a variety of reasons, including environmental or topographical conditions; in certain locations such as tunnels, parking garages, or within or next to large buildings; or near other technologies that can interfere with the Sirius signal.
Sirius, XM and all related marks and logos are trademarks of Sirius XM Radio Inc.
4. All iPod® devices are sold separately. Feature not compatible with iPod Shuffle. See dealer for details. iPod is a registered trademark of Apple Inc.
5. 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.
6. SiriusXM Traffic service is available in select markets, and requires an active SiriusXM subscription and hardware. A 6-month trial subscription is included with new-vehicle purchase or lease. If you decide to continue your service at the end of your trial, all SiriusXM services are sold separately. SiriusXM Traffic covers the primary highways in several US major metropolitan areas, with added local information in some markets. Accurate incident information is dependent on locating, verifying and reporting the incident as soon as the incident occurs. Incident information is dependent on various third-party sources and may be delayed.
7. Distronic Adaptive Cruise Control is no substitute for active driving involvement. It does not react to stationary objects, nor recognize or predict the curvature and lane layout of the road or the movement of the vehicles ahead. 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. After braking the car for stopped traffic ahead, the system resumes automatically only if traffic pauses for less than 3 seconds.
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 safety.
Braking effectiveness also depends on proper brake maintenance, and tire and road conditions.
8. Blind Spot Assist may not be sufficient to avoid all accidents involving vehicles in your blind spot and does not estimate the speed of approaching vehicles. It should not be used as a sole substitute for driver awareness and checking of surrounding traffic conditions.
9. Driving while drowsy or distracted is dangerous and must be avoided. Lane Keeping Assist may be insufficient to detect a fatigued or distracted driver or driver inattention. It cannot be relied on to avoid an accident or serious injury.
