User-friendly innovation puts abundant technology within reach. With a multifunction steering wheel and convenient central controller, the COMAND system puts audio, vehicle settings and the optional hard-drive navigation[*1] with Enhanced Voice Control as close as your fingertips or your voice. The standard Bluetooth® system eases hands-free calling and wireless streaming of your digital audio player.[*2]
Included in the optional Premium 1 Package, a 12-speaker harman/kardon LOGIC7® system outputs 610 watts of Dolby® Digital 5.1 surround sound. Listening choices are seemingly endless: beyond the standard in-dash DVD/CD player, the Package adds HD Radio™ stations, SiriusXM Satellite Radio[*3], iPod® integration[*4], a memory card reader, and a 10GB Music Register for storing your digital music.
Optional DISTRONIC PLUS active cruise control automatically slows down or stops the vehicle in response to car traffic ahead. Its PRE-SAFE Brake feature can sense an impending collision and apply full braking.[*5] Optional Blind Spot Assist and Lane Keeping Assist can help alert you to unseen vehicles in the next lane[*6], help warn you of drifting out of lane[*7], and with available active technology, help steer the car back if you disregard the alerts.
The E-Class Coupes are a protective showcase of Mercedes-Benz safety firsts. Among their innovations, 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.[*8]
The optional Mercedes-Benz mbrace system can help you plan a trip, remember where you parked, handle an emergency and much more. From your car, online or via the mbrace Mobile App on your iPhone®, mbrace integrates nearly 20 security, destination planning and convenience services. And every 2012 E-Class Coupe equipped with mbrace includes a complimentary 6-month trial subscription.[*9,*10,*11]

1. 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.
2. Bluetooth® interface does not provide phone charging or external antenna. Voice interactivity feature is dependent on selected handset. Phone sold separately. See dealer for a list of approved compatible phones. Bluetooth is a registered trademark of Bluetooth SIG, Inc.

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.

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. 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.
6. 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.
7. 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.
8. PRE-SAFE® closes the side windows and sunroof when the system's sensors detect side movement that suggests a possible rollover.
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.
