Wherever you seek adventure in a GLK-Class, you travel with a legion of reinforcements and a legacy of safety innovation. And while its engineering is on the leading edge,
its survival instincts have been honed for generations. Since the invention of the first crumple zone, Mercedes-Benz engineers have spent more than 60 years preparing
for the unexpected. In the 1970s, they earned a patent for the air bag. And in the decades to follow, they pioneered a portfolio of safety breakthroughs that went on to
become industry standards — like the Antilock Braking System (ABS), Electronic Stability Program (ESP
®
) and emergency-sensing Brake Assist (BAS
®
). They were even first
to bring side curtain air bags and the 4-wheel Electronic Traction System (4-ETS) to the world of SUVs. Explore the 2013 GLK-Class and you’ll see much more than these
well-known safety benchmarks. You’ll discover advancements that predict tomorrow’s SUVs, while helping to protect your own tomorrow, starting now. For example, its
standard new ATTENTION ASSIST
®
is a Mercedes-Benz innovation that helps detect driver drowsiness on longer trips. As you drive your GLK on a rainy highway, its brakes
intelligently act to help disperse water buildup. And should any of its nine air bags be activated, the standard mbrace

system

can automatically place a call for help.
Far more than a list of features, every GLK-Class is an orchestrated safety system — engineered to make the most of the precious milliseconds it takes to avoid, or survive,
a collision. Perhaps that’s why, even before its many new enhancements, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety named the GLK-Class a Top Safety Pick in 2011 and
2012.

Wherever you drive, the GLK’s advanced safety engineering is looking ahead, while watching your back. Because sometimes you really need a leader behind you.
