Performance & Handling
4.6-liter biturbo V-8 engine
The 429-hp 4.6-liter V-8 in the S550 combines numerous advances and twin turbos to deliver 12% more power. Its 516 lb-ft torque peak offers 45% more thrust at just 2,000 rpm. Rapid-multispark ignition can fire up to four times per millisecond, while high-pressure Direct Injection can microscopically fine-tune fuel spray in just 0.1 milliseconds, reducing emissions, fuel consumption and noise. A lightweight diecast-alloy block, quicker and more widely variable valve timing, reduced friction, and clever "on-demand" ancillary components like the alternator further boost efficiency.
7-speed automatic transmission
The industry's first 7-speed automatic has been made even smoother, more responsive and more efficient. A wide range of closely spaced gear ratios delivers the ideal response in virtually every driving situation, for relaxed cruising, quick acceleration, and thanks to two overdrive ratios, better highway fuel efficiency. Adaptive logic adjusts the shift points to match your driving style, while paddle shifters on the steering wheel let you enjoy manual-style control anytime you wish.
Paddle shifters
A pair of paddles strategically positioned behind the upper steering-wheel spokes allows you to manually upshift and downshift the 7-speed automatic transmission with just a flick of your fingers.
Optional
4MATIC all-wheel drive
In any season or road condition, 4MATIC™ all-wheel drive adds to your confidence and control. Always engaged and optimizing torque to every wheel, 4MATIC integrates with our standard Electronic Stability Program (ESP®) for maximum effectiveness in corners and slippery conditions. It also incorporates our 4-wheel Electronic Traction System (4-ETS), which monitors for the first sign of wheel slip and responds to ensure that torque is sent to the wheels with the best grip, even if that's only one wheel. (Disclaimer)
Available in
Optional
4-wheel Electronic Traction System (4-ETS)
For optimum traction, even in slippery conditions, 4MATIC all-wheel drive incorporates our advanced 4-wheel Electronic Traction System. 4-ETS can help get you going even if three wheels lose their grip. Sensors at each wheel monitor traction based on wheel speeds. If one or more wheels start to slip, 4-ETS individually brakes the slipping wheels to maintain the flow of torque to the wheels with grip. Even if only one wheel has grip, 4-ETS can help get you going and stay in control. (Disclaimer)
Available in
AIRMATIC semi-active suspension
For a balanced, comfortable ride, the AIRMATIC semi-active suspension employs electronically controlled air springs that adjust to changing driving conditions. A choice of two settings, Sport and Comfort, lets drivers match the ride characteristics to their mood. The system also lowers the ride height at higher speeds for improved aerodynamics. AIRMATIC also provides automatic 4-wheel level control, to help compensate for additional cargo or passengers.
Adaptive Damping System
Incorporated into our innovative AIRMATIC air suspension, ADS II continually optimizes ride and handling by automatically selecting one of four damping profiles for each spring-strut every time a wheel changes its direction of up-down travel. Driver-selectable Comfort and Sport modes allow you tailor handling response and ride firmness to your present driving style.
Multilink suspension
The 4-wheel independent multilink suspension is key to the exceptional poise and control of the S550. The 5-arm rear multilink design, a Mercedes-Benz innovation, controls rear-wheel movement with outstanding precision. For more precise and predictable handling, the front suspension and steering gear are mounted to the body structure via a rigid subframe.
Electronic Stability Program (ESP®)
This safety breakthrough first introduced by Mercedes-Benz continually monitors your driving inputs and the vehicle's motion to help keep it going in your intended direction, especially in corners and during evasive maneuvers. 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. (Disclaimer)
Direct-steer system
Direct-steer automatically varies the steering ratio based on how far you turn the steering wheel. It provides quicker steering and lighter effort while parking while maintaining excellent directional stability and crisp feedback at higher speeds. (Disclaimer)
Optional
Active Body Control (ABC) with crosswind stabilization
Arguably the most advanced suspension in production, ABC is a fully active suspension that ideally balances comfort and response in virtually every situation. A network of advanced sensors and electronically controlled hydraulics is designed to counteract the effects of roll, vibration, pitch, dive and squat during cornering, braking and acceleration. Innovative logic also allows ABC to mitigate the effects that crosswinds have on the vehicle. A driver-selectable Sport mode effectively suppresses the body roll normally caused by quick handling maneuvers, for uncannily flat handling. (Disclaimer)
$4,090
Torque Vectoring Brake
Standard Torque Vectoring Brake technology provides additional control and precision in turns via targeted rear-wheel braking. If the vehicle's Electronic Stability Program (ESP®) detects understeer while cornering, the system applies the brake to the inside rear wheel, temporarily shifting torque distribution in favor of the outside wheel. This causes the vehicle to gently pivot in compensation, putting it on a line of travel, or vector, better suited to the turn.
Perforated front brake discs with 4-piston calipers
Perforated and internally ventilated front brake discs help to better dissipate the hot gases generated during hard or repeated braking, helping resist brake fade in order to maintain maximum braking performance. The perforations are cast in place when the rotor is made, to prevent the creation of stress points that can occur during conventional cross-drilling. For more even and powerful braking force, the front discs feature large 4-piston calipers. (Disclaimer)
Design
Visionary design
Elegant in motion or at a standstill, the commanding presence of the 2013 S-Class starts with a majestic grille that sweeps elegantly from the chiseled front bumper. Windswept side mirrors integrating LED turn indicators complement the modern yet timeless profile, while chrome lower side trim accentuates the long wheelbase. Wraparound LED taillamps highlight the car's confident stance, underscored by a sculpted rear valance with dual trapezoidal polished-chrome exhaust tips.
Optional
Sport body styling
Offered as part of both the optional Sport Package and Sport Package Plus One, the spirit of performance takes shape in an aggressive front air dam that draws the wind, and the eye, past sculpted lower side sills and around a seductively styled rear apron.

PARKTRONIC with Advanced Parking Guidance
Advanced Parking Guidance helps you size up parallel-parking spaces as you drive by, using sensors in the bumper to determine if available spots can accommodate your vehicle. It then displays steering instructions to help you find your way into it.
During any low-speed maneuver, PARKTRONIC's ultrasonic sensors in the front and rear bumpers can detect nearby objects within the system's field of view. Audible signals and illuminated displays in the cabin help you navigate tight spaces with confidence.
PRE-SAFE®
A Mercedes-Benz first, PRE-SAFE can detect instability during certain vehicle maneuvers that suggest a collision or rollover is imminent. It can then tighten the front seat belts, adjust the front passenger seat, and close the windows and sunroof — all in an effort to better prepare the occupants in the moments before a collision. If no accident occurs, the seat-belt tensioners reverse, and you simply readjust your seat, open the sunroof and continue on your way. (Disclaimer)
Rear view camera
This innovative driver-assistance feature helps you to see directly behind your vehicle when reversing. Shift into Reverse, and a wide-angle camera mounted in the rear displays a live view of what's behind the vehicle on the COMAND screen in the dashboard. Active parking guidelines on the screen help you back into a parking space. (Disclaimer)
Optional
Night View Assist PLUS with Pedestrian Detection
Reading invisible infrared beams with a special camera, this innovation can detect objects nearly 500 feet ahead in near-total darkness. The systems can identify not only warm objects like animals but also cold debris and parked cars. It displays a black-and-white image on a high-resolution screen in the dash, rather than the windshield, to give you a clearer, sharper picture of what's ahead. Advanced software helps it detect human forms up to 300 feet ahead and then highlight them on the display. (Disclaimer)
$1,780
Bi-Xenon headlamps with Active Curve Illumination
Bi-Xenon headlamps help deliver greater visibility than halogen headlamps because their brighter, whiter light is much closer to natural daylight. Active Curve Illumination helps you see better into corners at night, swiveling the headlamps as you steer to increase usable illumination by up to 90% over conventional fixed headlamps.
Adaptive Highbeam Assist
Engineered to provide the maximum possible road illumination without creating glare for other drivers, this innovative feature uses continuous input from a camera to automatically vary the range of your high beams, based on the distance both to oncoming vehicles and to those ahead of you. Enhancing your ability to identify changes in the road's path and the presence of pedestrians and hazards earlier, Adaptive Highbeam Assist can help you drive more safely and confidently in the dark.
Heated headlamp washers
A high-pressure spray of heated fluid helps remove road spray and dirt from the headlamps, to help keep them at their maximum lighting performance.
LED taillamps
Not only brighter than traditional incandescent bulbs, LED technology also delivers quicker illumination of the brake lamps. By offering drivers behind you more time to react, their stopping distance may be reduced by several feet, which could make a critical difference in a panic stop.
SmartKey
The SmartKey remote control integrates remote door locks and trunk opener, a removable valet key, and a remote panic alarm. You may selectively unlock only the driver's door and fuel filler, or both doors plus the trunk and fuel filler.

The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) can automatically detect a substantial loss of tire pressure in any wheel and alert the driver via a warning message in the multifunction display. The advanced TPMS can also display the numeric tire pressure for each mounted wheel.
Adaptive braking technology
Adaptive braking technology integrates a suite of advances. If you lift off the accelerator quickly, Predictive Brake Priming sets the pads closer to the discs for more immediate response when you apply the brakes. In the rain, Automatic Brake Drying periodically applies the brakes just enough to sweep water build-up from the discs. During uphill starts, Hill-Start Assist helps prevent unwanted rollback. And a HOLD feature can make long red lights or stopped traffic a little easier. (Disclaimer)
Antilock Braking System (ABS)
The Antilock Braking System (ABS) senses impending wheel lockup under heavy braking and pumps the front brakes individually or the rear brakes together. This intelligent system can pump the brakes as needed up to 30 times per second, to prevent lockup and preserve the driver's steering ability. (Disclaimer)
Brake Assist
Brake Assist senses emergency braking via the speed at which the driver presses the brake pedal and immediately applies maximum available power boost. Brake Assist can potentially reduce the overall stopping distance by eliminating the delay caused by a common human tendency not to brake hard enough, soon enough. Letting up on the brake pedal releases Brake Assist. (Disclaimer)
Antitheft alarm system
The standard antitheft alarm system is armed automatically when you lock your Mercedes from the outside. It sounds the horn and flashes the exterior lights if a door, the trunk or the hood is opened without first unlocking the vehicle. You can also sound the alarm by pressing the red "panic" button on your SmartKey remote when you're within range of your vehicle.
Body structure
Containing 72% of its body panels made from high-strength steel, the S-Class body structure is even more rigid than its renowned predecessors. The advanced front crumple zone has been refined with approximately 17,000 computer-simulated collisions and 150 crash tests. An innovative front bulkhead and deformation zones that act on four independent levels to help divert the energy of a frontal impact under, over and around the passenger cabin.
Seat belt technology
Equipped with Emergency Tensioning Devices (ETDs) and belt force limiters, 3-point seat belts are arguably our most important passive safety feature. If a collision exceeds a preset threshold, the ETDs instantly remove slack from the front and rear outboard seat belts. Belt force limiters allow a slight amount of give in the ETD-equipped seat belts, to reduce the peak seat-belt forces on the occupant.

Chassis and Traction Control/Stability Systems
Chassis
| AIRMATIC suspension with ADS | AIRMATIC semi-active suspension employs electronically controlled air springs that adjust to changing driving conditions. A choice of two settings, Sport and Comfort, lets drivers match the ride characteristics to their mood. The system also lowers the ride height at higher speeds for improved aerodynamics. AIRMATIC also provides automatic 4-wheel level control, to help compensate for additional cargo or passengers. Incorporated into our innovative AIRMATIC air suspension, ADS II continually optimizes ride and handling by automatically selecting one of four damping profiles for each spring-strut every time a wheel changes its direction of up-down travel. |
|---|---|
| Steering type | Rack-and-pinion with power assist and Direct-steer |
| Turning circle | 40.0 ft, curb-to-curb |
Traction Control & Stability
| 4MATIC all-wheel drive | Always engaged and optimizing torque to every wheel, optional 4MATIC integrates with our standard Electronic Stability Program (ESP®) for maximum effectiveness in corners and slippery conditions. It also incorporates our 4-wheel Electronic Traction System (4-ETS), which monitors for the first sign of wheel slip and responds to ensure that torque is sent to the wheels with the best grip, even if that's only one wheel. |
|---|---|
| Electronic Stability Program (ESP®) | This safety breakthrough first introduced by Mercedes-Benz continually monitors your driving inputs and the vehicle's motion to help keep it going in your intended direction, especially in corners and during evasive maneuvers. 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.[*4] |
Brakes, Wheels, and Tires
Brakes
| Braking system | 4-wheel disc, with perforated and internally ventilated front discs with 4-piston calipers. |
|---|---|
| Adaptive braking technology | Adaptive braking technology integrates a suite of advances. If you lift off the accelerator quickly, Predictive Brake Priming sets the pads closer to the discs for more immediate response when you apply the brakes. In the rain, Automatic Brake Drying periodically applies the brakes just enough to sweep water build-up from the discs. During uphill starts, Hill-Start Assist helps prevent unwanted rollback. And a HOLD feature can make long red lights or stopped traffic a little easier.[*10] |
| Antilock Braking System (ABS) | ABS senses impending wheel lockup under heavy braking and pumps the front brakes individually or the rear brakes together. This intelligent system can pump the brakes as needed up to 30 times per second, to prevent lockup and preserve the driver's steering ability.[*10] |
| Brake Assist | Brake Assist senses emergency braking via the speed at which the driver presses the brake pedal and immediately applies maximum available power boost. Brake Assist can potentially reduce the overall stopping distance by eliminating the delay caused by a common human tendency not to brake hard enough, soon enough. Letting up on the brake pedal releases Brake Assist.[*10] |
Wheels/Tires
| Wheels | 18-inch 5-spoke (8.5x18) |
|---|---|
| Tires | 255/45R18 all-season |
Safety and Security Systems
Restraint Systems
| PRE-SAFE | A Mercedes-Benz first, PRE-SAFE can detect instability during certain vehicle maneuvers that suggest a collision or rollover is imminent. It can then tighten the front seat belts, adjust the front passenger seat, and close the windows and sunroof — all in an effort to better prepare the occupants in the moments before a collision. If no accident occurs, the seat-belt tensioners reverse, and you simply readjust your seat, open the sunroof and continue on your way. |
|---|---|
| Integrated Restraint System | An advanced system of 8 air bags offers 10-way occupant protection. Dual two-stage front air bags, front and rear side-impact air bags, and window curtain air bags for both seating rows are standard.[*5] |
| Side curtain air bags | In a side impact exceeding a preset threshold, a multi-chamber air bag deploys along the front and rear side windows on the affected side of the vehicle. An integrated rollover sensor automatically deploys the ETDs and, if deemed necessary, the side curtain air bags in the event of a detected rollover.[*5] |
| Seat belt technology | Equipped with Emergency Tensioning Devices (ETDs) and belt force limiters, 3-point seat belts are arguably our most important passive safety feature. If a collision exceeds a preset threshold, the ETDs instantly remove slack from the front and rear outboard seat belts. Belt force limiters allow a slight amount of give in the ETD-equipped seat belts, to reduce the peak seat-belt forces on the occupant. |
| Occupant Classification System (OCS) | OCS automatically turns the front passenger's front air bag on or off and adjusts the air bag inflation rate based on the weight category determined by weight sensor readings from the front passenger seat.[*6] |
| ISOFIX / Universal LATCH system (Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children) | Standardized child-seat attachments are provided at both outboard rear seating positions. Selectable passenger seat-belt retractors help secure child seats.[*5] |
Safety Features
| ATTENTION ASSIST | The first system of its kind, ATTENTION ASSIST continuously monitors different parameters of driving behavior, and can automatically alert the driver with both visual and audible warnings if it detects signs of drowsiness on long trips.[*11] |
|---|---|
| Mercedes-Benz mbrace | From your car, online or via the mbrace Mobile Application on your iPhone®, mbrace® helps keep you connected with nearly 20 different security, destination planning and convenience services. Combining advanced technology with 24-hour support from helpful experts, two available service packages can help you plan a trip, remember where you parked, or even handle an unexpected emergency. Every new Mercedes-Benz equipped with mbrace includes a 6-month trial subscription.[*7,*8,*9] |
Locking & Security
| SmartKey | The SmartKey remote control integrates remote door locks, a removable valet key, and a remote panic alarm. You may selectively unlock only the driver's door and fuel filler, or all four doors plus the trunk and fuel filler. |
|---|---|
| Driver-programmable driveaway locking | Automatically locks the doors when the car reaches 9 mph. |
| Night security illumination | Uses the car's exterior lights to help illuminate a path after parking. |
| Antitheft alarm with remote panic feature | The standard antitheft alarm system is armed automatically when you lock your Mercedes from the outside. It sounds the horn and flashes the exterior lights if a door, the trunk or the hood is opened without first unlocking the vehicle. You can also sound the alarm by pressing the red "panic" button on your SmartKey remote when you're within range of your vehicle. |
| Locator lighting | Uses the car's lights to help illuminate a return path when the car is remote-unlocked in darkness. |
| Integrated 3-button garage door control | Compatible with HomeLink® components and some other systems |
| mbrace Remote Door Unlock | Allows remote unlocking of the vehicle via the mbrace Mobile App or via telephone. |
| mbrace GPS-based Stolen Vehicle Recovery | Helps law enforcement agencies track and recover stolen vehicles. |
| mbrace Antitheft Alarm Notification | Alerts Mercedes-Benz to contact vehicle owner if antitheft alarm sounds. |

No one understands and cares for your Mercedes Benz better than Mercedes-Benz.
Prepaid Maintenance
No one can maintain a Mercedes-Benz like Mercedes-Benz
- It's the simple and convenient way to prepay for required services, so you'll know that critical maintenance needs are taken care of right from the start.
- Mercedes-Benz Star Service Pre-Paid Maintenance allows you to lock in the costs of these required services before your first service visit or 10,000 miles, whichever comes first.- So you'll have the convenience of paying for maintenance in advance.
- Save up to 30% versus "purchasing maintenance as you go* "
- Plus, purchasing a Mercedes-Benz Star Service Pre-Paid Maintenance plan does not confine you to only one dealership for your service needs. The plan follows you, so if you require service when you're on the road - or if you relocate - your plan will be honored at any authorized participating Mercedes-Benz dealer.
Overview
It's extremely important for the long-term health of your Mercedes-Benz, and the safety of you and your passengers, that you have your Mercedes-Benz serviced according to its regular maintenance intervals. Check your maintenance manual or consult your authorized Mercedes-Benz Dealer for specific maintenance requirements and recommendation.
For all Mercedes-Benz vehicles we recommend using an authorized Mercedes-Benz Dealer for your service needs. At a Mercedes-Benz Dealership you will get the most up-to-date expertise on the components that keep you safe on the road, like the braking and electrical systems, fluid levels, right down to the condition of your tires — which are your connections to the road.
Required Vehicle Maintenance starting with Model Year 2009
As of model year 2009, Mercedes-Benz vehicles follow a maintenance schedule of 10,000-mile or 12-month intervals, whichever occurs first. Required maintenance is the routine service necessary to keep your vehicle in peak operating condition, and to help avoid damage to your vehicle. For all other model years, refer to your maintenance manual for specific maintenance schedule information.
When you take your Mercedes-Benz to an authorized Mercedes-Benz Dealer for routine maintenance, our technicians use specialized tools, instruments, technical literature, Genuine Mercedes-Benz Parts, and unmatched technical training to service your vehicle. They follow your maintenance manual in detail to ensure that everything is checked on schedule.
Your Mercedes-Benz Maintenance Booklet specifies exactly what services your Mercedes-Benz technician will perform at each routine service visit.
Recommended Maintenance for Model Year 2009 and newer
In addition to regular required maintenance, recommended service work is intended to provide you with the flexibility to choose the additional maintenance work performed on your vehicle, based on its needs or recommendations from your authorized Mercedes-Benz Dealer.
Beyond any specific recommendations you receive from your Mercedes-Benz technician, you should check the following items regularly and prior to any long trip:
- Engine oil level
- Coolant level
- Brake system fluid level (If brake fluid needs to be added, see an authorized Mercedes-Benz Dealer to determine the cause.)
- Windshield washing system (Add washer fluid mixed with Mercedes-Benz windshield washer solvent/concentrate, test function, and check wiper blades.)
- Tire pressure (Check at least every other week.)
If applicable to your vehicle's configuration, tire rotation should be performed in accordance with the recommended intervals, or sooner at the first signs of irregular (uneven) tread wear. A tire inspection will help determine the need for a tire rotation which may occur at least once between regular Mercedes-Benz maintenance intervals. Check with your authorized Mercedes-Benz Dealership for specific recommendations.
The first rotation inspection occurring at an authorized Mercedes-Benz Dealership at any time up to 5,000 miles is provided at no charge.*
The required maintenance intervals have been determined based on normal operating conditions. Any severe operating conditions may call for more frequent replacement of items such as interior filters, spark plugs, coolant, tires, etc. Checking these items regularly and bringing your vehicle in for service appointments earlier than required, if necessary, will help keep your Mercedes-Benz in top condition.
* In accordance with or as otherwise recommended by your tire manufacturer's instructions. Rotation applies only to vehicles without staggered-width tires. Vehicles with staggered-width tires require inspection instead of rotation. Tires should be rotated/inspected at least once between each service visit. See your Service Manager for details regarding your vehicle's tires.
Your Mercedes-Benz Maintenance Booklet specifies exactly what services your Mercedes-Benz technician will perform at each routine service visit.
Mercedes-Benz Star Service Pre-Paid Maintenance
A smart decision now. No surprises later.
It's the simple and convenient way to prepay for required services, so you'll know that critical maintenance needs are taken care of right from the start.
Mercedes-Benz Star Service Pre-Paid Maintenance allows you to "lock in" the costs for "required" services before your first service visit or 10,000 miles, whichever comes first. — And saves you money!
- Save up to 30% versus "purchasing maintenance as you go*"
- Potential increase in residual value if purchased with lease
- Potential increase in resale value (you can prove you're properly maintaining your vehicle according to manufacturer's recommendations)
- The convenience of having paid for maintenance in advance
- Mercedes-Benz trained technicians using Genuine Mercedes-Benz Parts
Plus, purchasing a Mercedes-Benz Star Service Pre-Paid Maintenance plan does not confine you to only one dealership for your service needs. The plan follows you, so if you require service when you're on the road — or if you relocate — your plan will be honored at any authorized participating Mercedes-Benz dealer.
- By purchasing an affordable Mercedes-Benz Star Service Pre-Paid Maintenance plan when you purchase your vehicle, you can build the cost into your monthly payment - giving you a lot more convenience for as little as $10/month. Or you can choose to prepay upfront or in monthly installments. The plan may be purchased at any time prior to your first service visit or 10,000 miles, whichever comes first.
- here are several plan options to choose from designed to fit your specific model and individual driving needs; 2, 3, 4 or 5 year terms, and up to 50,000 total vehicle miles.
- If your vehicle is not eligible for the Mercedes-Benz Star Service Prepaid Maintenance ask for the Mercedes-Benz Pre-Owned Prepaid Maintenance and receive the same benefits. The basic requirements are; your vehicle is a model year 2007 or newer and that it has less than 80,000 miles. (No residualization applies)
- Contact your dealer about program details and eligibility or call us at 1-800-FOR-MERCEDES to learn more today.

Disclaimer
*While the vehicle owner may elect to have repairs (collision damage repair or paint work) performed by any automotive body repair establishment or individual, damage or malfunctions caused by body repairs not performed in accordance with Mercedes-Benz specified repair procedures or otherwise not properly performed are not covered by the Mercedes-Benz New Vehicle Limited Warranty and may cause the car to not perform as originally designed in a subsequent collision to the repaired area.
Small Repairs
To own a Mercedes-Benz is to take pride in its timeless design and effortless style. But regardless of the care you take in maintaining the appearance of your vehicle, sometimes damage can´t be avoided. Whether it's a rock chip, a spill, a sharp object piercing the interior, a wheel making contact with the curb, or seasonal hazards like road grime or salt attacking your rims, Mercedes-Benz has the solution.
Your Mercedes-Benz Dealership or Certified Collision Center can offer minor repairs quickly, easily, and cost effectively, often while you wait.
Wheels
Few parts of your vehicle are as readily noticed as the alloy rims. Unfortunately, even the most stunning wheels are susceptible to damage.
If winter road salt or a bump against the curb has left your rims looking less than spectacular, your Mercedes-Benz dealership or Certified Collision Facility has the technology to make the finish look just like new at a fraction of the cost of a new rim. Please note that not all wheel damage can be repaired, depending on severity.
Sticks and Stones
When a stone makes contact with your windshield it can create significant appearance and safety implications, especially if left untreated. To avoid replacing the entire windshield, Mercedes-Benz Dealerships and Certified Collision Centers can fix cracks and stone chips quickly using resins to seal the glass, and polish to take care of pitting.
Keep in mind that this system is only intended to repair minor problems outside of the driver´s field of vision, and is not meant to take care of an issue that has failed a state safety inspection program. Interior Repairs Leather or MB-Tex seating, polished wood trim, aluminum accents, ceiling fabric or carpet - they're all susceptible to daily wear and tear or surface contamination.
Minor scratches, blemishes, and other superficial damage to your vehicle´s interior can be repaired at your Mercedes-Benz Dealership or Certified Collision Facility, with the product expertise needed to determine the best repair tools and materials for the job.
