Rugged in unexpected locations.
Protective in nature. Proactive in behavior. Wherever you seek adventure in a GLK-Class, you travel with a legion of
reinforcements and a legacy of safety innovation. Nine standard air bags and an army of advanced safety systems are wrapped
in a high-strength steel body —all ready to respond as an integrated system of protection. And while its engineering is on
the cutting edge, its survival instincts have been honed for generations. After all, it’s a Mercedes-Benz —the pioneers of the
crumple zone, Electronic Stability Program, adaptive brakes, and countless preparations for when misadventure seeks you.
High-strength body. Approximately 70% of the GLK-Class body
structure is made from high- and ultra-high-strength steel. Advanced
crumple zones, two steel beams in each door, and a rigid cabin shell
help to divert impact energy over, under and around the occupants.
Brighter lighting. The optional Lighting Package features Bi-Xenon
headlamps with Active Curve Illumination, which can improve the
lighting of curving roadways by up to 90% over conventional fixed
headlamps. Headlamp washers, corner-illuminating front lamps, LED
Daytime Running Lamps and LED rear turn signals are also included.
Advanced restraints. Nine standard air bags in the GLK-Class
offer 11-way protection. Innovative pelvic air bags complement the
front-seat side-impact air bags, and a driver’s knee air bag augments
Emergency-sensing. Two safety systems originally introduced
to the automotive world by Mercedes-Benz help you avoid potential
dual-stage front air bags.

Side curtain air bags are provided at all
collisions. ESP, our Electronic Stability Program, monitors the

four outboard seating positions, along with seat-belt Emergency
Tensioning Devices (ETDs) and belt-force limiters. In a rear impact,
NECK-PRO active front head restraints help to prevent whiplash.

And Brake Assist can apply full braking pressure if it detects an

Post-collision response. In the event that an air bag or seat-belt
ETD deploys, the optional Mercedes-Benz mbrace
Automatic Collision Notification, which initiates a call to our 24-hour
emergency response center—even if you can’t. In addition, the GLK
will automatically shut off its engine and fuel supply, turn on some
cabin lights and the hazard flashers, partially open the windows to
help ventilate the cabin, and unlock its doors to assist rescuers.

Adaptive brakes. Advanced braking innovations make the large
4-wheel disc brakes of the GLK-Class even more effective. When
driving with the wipers on, Automatic Brake Drying periodically
applies the brakes just enough to remove water build-up. Should you
rapidly lift your foot from the accelerator, Predictive Brake Priming

sets the pads closer to each disc, for quicker braking response.
