Changing the future is part of its history.
An ongoing retrospective of foresight. Look back over the life story of the automobile and you’ll find Mercedes‑Benz
continually leading the way in safety innovation —from the invention of the first crumple zone 60 years ago to the exclusive
PRE‑SAFE system of today that can detect and prepare for a collision before it happens. True to its heritage, the 2011 E‑Class
®
is engineered with visonary safety advances that watch the road ahead and to your side, and that help you to see and be
seen. Maybe all cars will do this someday. The protection an E‑Class offers today could rewrite the story of your own life.
Body structure. E‑Class body structures utilize ultra‑high‑strength
steel in critical areas to expertly manage both weight and impact
forces. Wagons integrate an elaborate network of reinforcements to
provide a generous crumple zone even with three rows of seating.
PRE-SAFE. During certain vehicle maneuvers, the exclusive
PRE‑SAFE system can detect instability suggesting that a collision
or rollover is imminent. PRE‑SAFE 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.

DISTRONIC PLUS. A Mercedes‑Benz innovation that takes cruise
control to new heights in convenience, this option adapts your set
speed in response to traffic ahead, automatically slowing down until
your path is clear again. DISTRONIC PLUS can even brake the car to

dual‑stage front air bags. Side curtain air bags are provided at the
outboard seating positions in both the first and second rows.

Brighter lighting. All‑LED taillamps provide quicker illumination of
the brake lamps than conventional bulbs. The optional Premium 2
Package adds Bi‑Xenon headlamps with Active Curve Illumination,
plus Adaptive Highbeam Assist, which continuously varies the
headlamp range to maximize illumination without creating glare for
other drivers. Bright white LED Daytime Running Lamps, standard on
Sport models, are also included in the package on Luxury models.
PRE-SAFE Brake. Included with DISTRONIC PLUS, radar‑based
sensors can detect an impending collision with a vehicle ahead of
the E‑Class. PRE‑SAFE Brake then automatically applies up to 100%
of the car’s braking force to help reduce the severity of impact.

behaviors, this Mercedes‑Benz innovation can audibly and visually
Night View Assist PLUS with Pedestrian Detection. When
driving in darkness, this innovative option projects infrared beams
that are invisible to the human eye and reads them with a special
camera. The system displays a clearer, supplemental real‑time view
of the road ahead on the large screen that’s positioned high in the
