WHEN IT COMES TO ENJOYING THE FUTURE, THERE’S NO TIME LIKE THE PRESENT.
Look at the list of the safety features in most any car today, and you’ll be looking into the history of Mercedes -Benz. Our engineers have been driving the future of automotive
safety for more than 60 years. In the 1950s, they invented the first crumple zone — just one of over 80,000 patents recorded in the history of Mercedes -Benz. In the 1970s, they
earned a patent for the air bag. In the 1980s, they presented the first convertible with an automatic pop-up roll bar. And even over decades of increasingly stringent side-impact
and roof-strength standards, only Mercedes -Benz has never stopped producing pillarless coupes. Throughout all of this, they also pioneered a portfolio of safety breakthroughs
that went on to become the standards of the entire industry — like the Antilock Braking System (ABS), Electronic Stability Program (ESP
®
) and emergency- sensing Brake Assist.
When you examine the 2013 E -Class, you’ll discover much more than these well-known safety milestones. You’ll see first-of-their-kind advancements that do more than predict
tomorrow’s cars, they help to protect your own tomorrow — starting now. Its PRE-SAFE
®
system can detect and help prepare for a collision before it happens. ATTENTION ASSIST
can sense a drowsy driver. As you drive on a rainy highway, the brakes intelligently act to disperse water buildup. And should any of the nine air bags be activated, the standard
mbrace
®
system can automatically place a call for help.

Far more than a list of features, every E -Class is an orchestrated safety system — engineered to make the most of the
precious milliseconds it takes to avoid, or survive, a collision. By looking into the future, whether by decades or seconds, Mercedes -Benz is also looking out for your future.
