The optional, electrically adjustable, multicontour luxury seats for the driver and front passenger provide the all-important lateral support required for sporty driving. Optimised for the individual occupant, they prevent muscular tension from developing, even on long journeys - a particularly valuable feature if you can't bear the thought of having to get out of the CLS again.

 

Ergonomically formed for optimum comfort and support, the seats in the CLS-Class help you make the most of its sporty credentials. And because no two people have exactly the same build, the front seats are equipped with a 4-way electric adjustment system which allows them to be configured to provide the ideal position, cushion height, cushion inclination and longitudinal setting for each occupant.

 

The dynamic multicontour seat, which is only available in conjunction with full electric seat adjustment and memory, includes two additional functions over and above those of the regular multicontour seat. First, there is the automatic dynamic adjustment of the backrest side bolsters and second the massage function.

 

First-class cabin

The CLS 500 is equipped as standard with leather appointments including a leather steering wheel with a matching leather selector lever. These are complemented to perfection by the fine wood trim on the elegant, curved instrument panel.

 

Bi-xenon headlamps

Driving can be relaxing and involving at the same time - if the conditions are right. The lighting technology in the CLS is designed to help create those conditions. Bi-xenon headlamps with the Active Light System and the cornering light function are available as an optional extra.

 

The Active Light System guides the headlamp beam in keeping with the driver's steering movements, thereby improving illumination of curves and bends. The cornering light function is activated automatically while the headlights are on and the vehicle is travelling at speeds up to 40 km/h.

 

The optional bi-xenon headlamps use a single xenon gas discharge bulb for both the main and the dipped beam modes. Other features include Active Light System for improved illumination when cornering, cornering light function in foglamps, dynamic headlamp range adjustment as well as headlamp cleaning system.

 

Thermotronic climate control system

The THERMATIC automatic climate control system, fitted as standard, makes it easy to set the temperature that suits you best. The optimal THERMOTRONIC 4-zone automatic climate control system (standard in the CLS 500) offers an even higher level of comfort such as control console with display, control console with display for rear-seat passengers with separate temperature controls for left and right-hand sides of vehicle, rear ventilation via two individually adjustable outlets as well as 4-quadrant solar sensor for automatic fine-tuning of interior temperature and four separately adjustable climate zones.

 

All the occupants of the vehicle can set their own individual temperature and airflow preferences while a combined dust and activated charcoal filter improves the quality of the intake air. Sensors continuously monitor the interior temperature and insolation level, adapting the blower speed as required.

 

Parktronic

Additional comfort-oriented optional extras are available to make your time aboard the CLS-Class even more enjoyable, a notable example being PARKTRONIC. This parking and manoeuvring aid gives a warning as soon as an obstacle is detected.
