Cornering light system: This bi-xenon headlamp lighting function provides more safety at road junctions and driving slowly around tight bends.	Optional in conjunction with bi-xenon headlamps
Adaptive front airbags: The front airbags are deployed in two stages depending on impact severity.	Standard
Bi-xenon headlamps: Gas-discharge lamps for main and low beam improve safety when driving at night.	Optional
Bluetooth interface: The mobile phone is wirelessly linked to the hands-free system.	Standard in conjunction with Audio 20, Audio 50 APS or COMAND APS
COMAND APS: Navigation system data is stored on a hard disc – this enables the route to be calculated even faster and provides enhanced route display graphics. The integral music library function stores up to 1000 tracks.	Optional
Direct-steer system: Based on the speed-sensitive power steering, a steering rack with a variable, sporty, dynamic ratio has been developed that provides a more direct response on bends and thus more agile handling.	Optional or included in the sports package
ESP®: This driver safety system can reduce the risk of skidding when cornering and alerts the driver to any loss of tyre pressure.	Standard
Headlamp Assist: A sensor on the windscreen detects low light conditions and automatically switches on the vehicle lights.	Standard
Belt-force limiter: This technology reduces the force exerted by the belt strap on the seat occupant during a crash.	Standard
Belt tensioner: Any slack in the seat belt strap is instantly taken up during a crash to reduce the forward movement of the occupants caused by the impact.	Standard
Child seat recognition: A transponder system automatically detects whether a rear-facing child seat is installed and deactivates the front passenger airbag if this is the case.	Optional
THERMATIC automatic climate control: This system controls two temperature zones and offers numerous adjustments for individual passenger comfort.	Standard
THERMOTRONIC luxury automatic climate control system: This system provides two-zone climate control for the interior, and includes further functions such as diffused, draught-free ventilation, and combination filter with air quality sensor.	Optional
Multifunction steering wheel: The radio, telephone, navigation system, display and other devices can be operated from the steering wheel.	Standard
Media interface: A socket in the glove compartment is used to connect external audio players to the infotainment system, thus integrating them into the CLC control concept.	Optional in conjunction with Audio 20, Audio 50 APS or COMAND APS
Paintwork: Nano-technology makes the paint finish more scratch-resistant and ensures a higher sheen.	Standard
LINGUATRONIC: The voice-operated control system operates the radio, CD/DVD player, CD/DVD changer, navigation system and telephone – using whole-word commands for the first time.	Optional; standard in conjunction with Audio 50 APS with six-disc DVD changer, and COMAND APS
