4-zone automatic climate control

Four individual temperature controls offer personalized comfort to the front and rear cabins. In addition to fully automatic or manual control of blower speed and airflow distribution, the system includes sun and humidity sensors, a dust/pollen filter, and an activated charcoal filter that automatically recirculates cabin air upon detecting a significant increase in smog. The system also detects seat-belt usage and focuses first on areas of the cabin where occupants are seated.

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.

Hill-Start Assist

Powerful 4-wheel disc brakes feature a number 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.

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.

Power rear-window sunshade

At the touch of a button, the tinted glass sunroof tilts up at the rear for ventilation, or slides open for a breezy view of the sky. An express feature fully opens or closes the roof with a single touch, and a manual sliding sunshade helps block out unwanted sunlight.

Sport Package Plus One

Even more aggressive performance and presence:
• 20-inch AMG 5-spoke wheels with high-performance tires
• Sport body styling (front and rear bumpers, side skirts)

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.

Wood/leather multifunction steering wheel

Put a classic touch of luxury in your hands with a steering wheel accented with hand-polished wood to match the interior of the vehicle and trimmed in supple Premium leather.

Heated and Active Ventilated rear seats

Heated and Active Ventilated outboard rear seats offer three levels of both heating and cooling. By gently circulating air through perforations in the upholstery, Active Ventilated seats help keep you cooler and your clothes dryer in warmer weather. On cold or damp days, using both the ventilation and heating together can circulate the seat heating more quickly. Timed auto-shutoff means you don't have to remember to turn off the heaters after your rear passengers exit.

Rear Seat Entertainment system

LCD monitors built into the front head restraints offer first-rate entertainment to the second row. Dual input sources let passengers enjoy DVDs and video games together or independently, with two wireless headsets and dual wireless remotes. Separate movies can play at once, by using both the DVD player under the rear seat and the standard in-dash CD/DVD changer. Auxiliary inputs on both monitors plus the underseat DVD player connect portable gaming devices, video cameras or other peripherals. Audio can play via the vehicle's sound system or discreetly through each headset.

Premium 1 Package

Premium luxuries you'll soon consider must-haves:
• Heated and Active Ventilated front seats
• Bi-Xenon headlamps with Active Curve Illumination
• Adaptive Highbeam Assist
• Corner-illuminating front lamps
• LED Daytime Running Lamps

ATTENTION ASSIST driver-drowsiness monitor

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.

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.

Sport Package

Performance-focused style and substance:
• 19-inch AMG triple 5-spoke wheels with all-season tires
• Sport body styling (front and rear bumpers, side skirts)

19-inch multispoke wheels

With a machine-like precision befitting the V-12 S600, these elegant wheels feature a series of intricate, wishbone-shaped spokes and are outfitted with all-season performance tires.

Panorama sunroof

Offering both front- and rear-seat passengers sweeping skyward views, this fully functional glass sunroof features a front panel that can either tilt up for ventilation or slide over the rear panel for an open-air feeling. Dual interior power shades allow occupants to adjust the amount of sunlight entering the cabin.

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 when cornering, braking and accelerating. A driver-selectable Sport mode provides virtually flat cornering capability far beyond ordinary suspensions. Automatic 4-wheel level control gradually lowers the ride height as speeds increase, to improve aerodynamics and stability.

Adaptive Damping System (ADS)

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.

7.2GB Music Register

Music Register allows you to store up to 7.2GB of your own digital music on the in-dash hard drive. It lets you copy songs from your CDs, DVDs and certain memory devices and save them to your vehicle's audio system, so you can listen to them anytime and anywhere you drive.

20-inch 10-spoke wheels

With a dazzling sterling-silver finish and 10 shapely spokes emphasizing their commanding size, these optional 20-inch wheels are fitted with high-performance tires.

Premium leather upholstery with contrasting stitching

Smooth, glove-soft Premium leather is selected and fitted by hand to the seats, side bolsters and head restraints. Contrasting stitching adds a stylish detail.

Perforated front brake discs

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.

18-inch 5-spoke wheels

The perfect harmony of the athletic and the aesthetic, the 5-spoke 18-inch wheels feature distinctive, recessed spokes and are fitted with all-season tires.

Enhanced Voice Control

Place or answer calls and access select phonebooks hands-free with standard Bluetooth connectivity. When your compatible phone is synched with the vehicle, you can enjoy hands-free conversations over the audio system. Enhanced Voice Control lets you control the phone, audio and navigation by saying city names and your phonebook contacts normally, with no need to spell them out. It even screens out "ums" and "ahs" and understands "yeah" for "yes." Visit www.MBUSA-Mobile.com to learn more.

Burl Walnut wood trim

Hand-polished Burl Walnut wood trim graces the console, dash, steering wheel and doors, lending the S350 BlueTEC cockpit a further air of refinement and exclusivity.

Blind Spot Assist

When the vehicle is traveling above approximately 20 mph, this system uses radar technology to sense when a vehicle enters the blind-spot area. Blind Spot Assist then automatically alerts the driver via an illuminated red icon in the appropriate side mirror. The system also gives an audible warning if the driver activates a turn signal while a vehicle is detected in the blind spot.

Active multicontour front seats with massage

Active multicontour front seats feature adjustable lumbar supports, side bolsters and shoulder supports, for custom-tailored support. A massage feature helps prevent fatigue on longer drives, and offers settings ranging from gentle to more vigorous. Active side bolsters can be set to automatically increase lateral support in cornering maneuvers, or even in the event of a potential accident.

PRE-SAFE®

Leather upholstery

Richly grained leather is selected and fitted by hand to the seats, armrests, side bolsters and head restraints.

Heated multifunction steering wheel

Convenient buttons on the steering wheel let you control the audio volume and selection, send and end calls on your Bluetooth-enabled phone, and scroll through the features of the multifunction display in the instrument cluster. Heating elements beneath the steering wheel's Premium leather trim rapidly take the chill out of your hands on a cold morning. After a few minutes, the heating level is automatically reduced to maintain lasting comfort.

LED taillamps and Daytime Running Lamps

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.Bright white LED Daytime Running Lamps help increase the visibility of your vehicle to oncoming traffic by illuminating front lights whenever the car is switched on. With long life and low energy consumption, the light-emitting diode (LED) lamps also add a distinctive high-tech styling touch.

harman/kardon LOGIC7® surround-sound system

Specifically engineered for the S-Class, this premium digital sound system fills the cabin with 600 watts of beautifully balanced audio. No fewer than 15 strategically placed speakers deliver a wholly immersive listening experience through Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound technology. Digital Dynamic Volume Control impeccably and imperceptibly maintains the sound spectrum for consistent listening pleasure in varying driving conditions.

Rear side-impact air bags

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.

7-speed 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.

Sirius® Satellite Radio with Sirius Traffic™

Sirius Satellite Radio offers 130+ channels of premium digital entertainment, from news, talk and sports to commercial-free music from every genre. Enjoy live broadcasts of the biggest NFL®, NCAA®, NHL® and NBA® teams, plus 150+ college sports teams. While you listen, Sirius Traffic™ keeps you up to date on accidents, traffic, construction and road closures, and even helps your vehicle's navigation system find the fastest route based on real-time traffic.

Multicolor ambient cabin lighting

A network of efficient LEDs and fiber optics casts a gentle glow from beneath the trim on the dashboard and door panels, both to welcome occupants into the cabin and to help make nighttime driving feel more secure. For an added touch of personality, any of three illumination color profiles (Polar, Solar and Neutral) can be selected.

10-way-air-bag-protection

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.

Adaptive Highbeam Assist

Engineered to maximize road illumination without creating glare for other drivers. Adaptive Highbeam Assist (included with the optional all-LED headlamps) uses continuous input from a camera to automatically vary the range of your high-beam headlamps, based on the distance to oncoming vehicles and to those ahead of you.

Hard-drive navigation with Zagat Survey

Using GPS technology and a 40GB hard drive to store maps, points of interest, and Zagat® Survey ratings for restaurants, hotels and golf courses, this virtual copilot provides detailed driving directions with remarkable speed and a friendly voice. The COMAND system's large color-LCD screen also displays gas stations, ATMs and Mercedes-Benz dealerships along your route within the contiguous U.S., Canada and Oahu, Hawaii, with periodic updates available at your authorized Mercedes-Benz dealer.

19-inch 5-spoke wheels

Strong, lightweight and distinctively designed, the 19-inch 5-spoke wheels feature a brilliant finish and even more compelling handling response. They're fitted with low-profile all-season tires.

115V AC socket

Conveniently located at the rear of the center console, a household-style 115V outlet lets you charge your laptop or camera, plug in a gaming system, or use other electronic devices, up to a maximum of 150 watts, without a special adapter.

iPod®/MP3 Media Interface

The iPod/MP3 media interface turns your Mercedes-Benz into an extension of your iPod or compatible electronic device. Browse, select and play your musical accompaniment of choice using steering-wheel, COMAND-system or stereo controls.

Premium 2 Package

• PARKTRONIC with Parking Guidance
• Rear view camera
• KEYLESS-GO
• Active multicontour front seats with massage feature
• Comfort-type head restraints with adjustable side wings

PARKTRONIC with Parking Guidance

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.

Active Blind Spot Assist

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.

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.

Heated and Active Ventilated front seats

Heated and Active Ventilated seats are a luxury you'll soon consider a necessity. Three levels of heating and cooling ventilation are offered. By gently circulating air through perforations in the seat and backrest, Active Ventilated seats help keep you cooler and your clothes dryer during warmer months. On cold or damp days, using both the ventilation and heating features together can circulate the seat heating more quickly, to help keep you warm and dry.

Driver Assistance Package

Innovations for added security and convenience:
• DISTRONIC PLUS with PRE-SAFE® Brake
• Active Blind Spot Assist
• Active Lane Keeping Assist

KEYLESS-GO

A leap in ease and efficiency pioneered by Mercedes-Benz, KEYLESS-GO lets you unlock, start and drive away without removing the SmartKey from your pocket or purse. You can lock and unlock the doors with a touch of the exterior handles, and start the engine by stepping on the brake pedal and pushing the Start/Stop button on the dashboard. You can also start the vehicle in the conventional way by removing the Start/Stop button and inserting the SmartKey into the ignition.

16-way power front seats with pneumatic lumbar support

Intuitive, seat-shaped controls help you and your front passenger find your ideal seating positions with 12-way power adjustment, plus a 4-chamber lumbar support. A memory system for each front seat recalls three stored seat positions with the touch of a button. The driver-seat memory also includes the power steering column and side mirror positions.

Brown Poplar wood trim

The distinctively mottled grain of this hand-polished hardwood trim adds a distinctive sense of craftsmanship to the S600 cabin. It adorns not only the dash, console and doors and steering wheel, but numerous additional areas from the central controller handrest to the overhead assist grips.

DISTRONIC-PLUS-adaptive-cruise-control

This advanced, radar-based cruise control monitors the vehicle ahead and adjusts your speed to help maintain a chosen following distance. It can even bring the car to a halt if it senses stopped traffic, then resume automatically. Should the car ahead slow or stop suddenly, the PRE-SAFE Brake system can automatically engage up to 40% of available braking power and issue an audiovisual alarm. If you still haven't applied the brakes within 0.6 seconds of a calculated impact, it automatically engages 100% braking power.

Exclusive leather upholstery with contrasting stitching

Smooth, glove-soft semi-aniline leather is selected and fitted by hand to the seats, side bolsters and head restraints. Contrasting stitching and unique vertical piping of the seats are set off by metal V-12 badges on each backrest. The ceiling and pillars are lined in richly soft Alcantara, detailed with quilted seams and a longitudinally fluted center panel. Luxury head restraints with adjustable side wings and the extensive use of hand-polished wood creates a truly majestic environment.

19-inch AMG triple 5-spoke wheels

With a new design for 2012, these legendary AMG wheels feature an ultrathin triple-spoke design. They're part of the Sport Package and fitted with high-performance all-season tires.

Mercedes-Benz mbrace®

Power rear side-window sunblinds

For comfort and added privacy, power mesh subblinds afford rear passengers as much or as little shade as they desire. They raise and lower easily via the power rear-window switches. Even the triangular quarter window can be covered.

Rear Seat Package

First-class comfort for the second row:
• 8-way adjustable power outboard rear seats
• 5-passenger seating
• 4-zone automatic climate control
• Heated and Active Ventilated rear seats

Bang & Olufsen® BeoSound™ premium sound system

A true audiophile-quality system, its 15 high-performance speakers and four acoustic lenses deliver 1,200 total watts from two amplifiers — a compact 750-watt ICEpower unit and a 450-watt digital processor that converts stereo and Dolby Digital 5.1 audio into 7.1-channel surround sound. Reproduction quality is exceptional at every seating position, yet very little sound, even the powerful bass, is audible outside the car. Even when not in use, the system elevates the cabin´s aesthetics with its signature aluminum speaker grilles and four tweeters that integrate with the car's ambient lighting system.

Power tilt/sliding tinted glass sunroof

At the touch of a button, the tinted glass sunroof tilts up at the rear for ventilation, or slides open for a breezy view of the sky. An express feature fully opens or closes the roof with a single touch, and a manual sliding sunshade helps block out unwanted sunlight.

Hands-free Bluetooth interface with Enhanced Voice Control (EVC)

Place or answer calls and access select phonebooks hands-free with standard Bluetooth connectivity. When your compatible phone is synched with the vehicle, you can enjoy hands-free conversations over the audio system. Enhanced Voice Control lets you control the phone, audio and navigation by saying city names and your phonebook contacts normally, with no need to spell them out. It even screens out "ums" and "ahs" and understands "yeah" for "yes." Visit www.MBUSA-Mobile.com to learn more.

COMAND System with central controller and 8 inch LCD Screen

Featuring dual 8-inch color-LCD widescreens (one serving primarily as the speedometer but available for other functions) and a central controller on the console, the Cockpit Management and Data (COMAND) system gives you convenient control of audio, video, hands-free calling and navigation functions. Many features can also be accessed via the integrated steering-wheel controls.

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.

5-speed automatic transmission

The proven and acclaimed 5-speed automatic is designed to handle the massive torque output by the twin-turbo V-12. The transmission is also driver-adaptive, monitoring your driving style and adjusting its shift points to match. The Touch Shift feature offers you the enjoyment and involvement of manual-style shifting anytime you want it.

Electronic trunk closer

For added convenience in the rain or with an armful of packages, you can fully open and close the trunk via a switch on the driver's interior door panel or a button on the SmartKey remote. Press a button on the underside of the trunk lid and it powers itself closed. A sensor automatically stops the lid if it detects an obstruction.

Eucalyptus wood trim

Dark brown Eucalyptus wood trim adorns the console, dash, steering wheel and doors. Its linear grain and deep, hand-finished gloss bring a modern style and a warm aura to the S350 BlueTEC cabin.

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.

HD Radio™ receiver

Delivering remarkably clear audio that gives AM stations the crispness of FM radio, and FM stations CD-grade sound, HD Radio® also offers a larger bandwidth that can actually increase the number of stations available to you.

18-inch 10-spoke wheels

Bold yet elegant 10-spoke 18-inch alloy wheels are generously sized and fitted with all-season performance tires, for surefooted handling and a confident stance.

Lane Keeping Assist

With technology that monitors ordinary road markings, Lane Keeping Assist helps detect unintended drifting off-course,and alerts the driver by vibrating the steering wheel.

SPLITVIEW front-seat entertainment system

An exclusive breakthrough in video technology allows the 8-inch high-resolution in-dash LCD screen to show two different displays to the driver and front passenger. So while the driver continues to enjoy all the functionality of the standard COMAND system, including audio, navigation and easy control of vehicle settings, the passenger can watch a DVD movie using the standard in-dash player, wireless remote and wireless headphones.

Tire-pressure monitoring system

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.

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 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.

6-disc CD/DVD changer

A single-slot system, the in-dash 6-disc changer plays audio CDs and DVDs. You can even watch a DVD movie while the vehicle is in Park.

20-inch AMG 5-spoke wheels

Featuring a sparkling titanium-silver finish and a distinctive convex spoke design, these imposing 20-inch AMG wheels are outfitted with high-performance tires. Offered as part of the Sport Package Plus One.

HOLD braking feature

Powerful 4-wheel disc brakes feature a number 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.

Active Lane Keeping Assist

With technology that monitors ordinary road markings, Active Lane Keeping Assist helps detect unintended drifting off-course,and alerts the driver by vibrating the steering wheel. If the driver continues to drift, it can apply the brake to a single rear wheel to help guide the car back into its lane.

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.

8-way power adjustable rear seats

With 8-way power adjustability that includes the recline angle for each outboard seatback, this feature lets rear-seat passengers ride in first-class comfort. Power head restraints automatically rise into position when the outboard passengers fasten their seat belts, enhancing safety as well.
