Mercedes-Benz M-CLASS Automobile User Manual


 
IMME ASURABLE
IT CAN WELCOME A MOUNTAIN OF CARGO IN, AND KEEP MICROSCOPIC PARTICLES OUT.
AND YET THE M-CLASS IS BEST APPRAISED NOT BY ANY QUANTITY BUT BY ITS QUALITIES.
The facts and figures of the M-Class cabin testify to its ample legroom and abundant cargo space. They
also tally many of its comforts, like the eight ways that its heated front seats power-adjust. Or the size of
the dust and pollen — as tiny as 0.0002" — that its dual- zone climate control sweeps from the air. Or even
the three selectable hues of its available ambient lighting. But to truly appreciate its pleasures requires
thinking in different dimensions. Consider the depth of its craftsmanship, and the time spent hand-fitting
its upholstery and hand-polishing its wood trim. Imagine the added degrees of comfort offered by options
like a front-seat massage feature, heated rear seats and a heated steering wheel. Or try to envision how
many stars can glimmer through its available Panorama roof. The 2013 M-Class brings SUV luxury not just
to a grander level of refinement, but to a higher standard of enjoyment. The luxury of a Mercedes -Benz,
after all, is not just a matter of measurements, but of measuring up to your expectations — and beyond.
Embracing. The heated, 8-way power-adjustable front seats
are designed for lasting comfort on long rides or over years of
use. The driver seat includes 4-way pneumatic lumbar support,
while the Premium 1 Package (standard on the ML 63 AMG) adds
a 3-position memory that also recalls the settings for the power
steering column — also included in the package — and the power-
folding side mirrors. Optional new multicontour front seats let you
fine-tune the lumbar, shoulder and thigh supports, and include a
massage function you can adjust from gentle to invigorating.
Flexible. Versatile 60/40-split rear seats fold flat in seconds to
create up to 80.3 cu ft of cargo space.

A standard power liftgate
helps makes cargo loading easier — especially in the rain or when
your arms are already full. The cargo area is richly finished, with
plush carpeting and a chrome load-sill plate to help protect the
rear bumper. No fewer than three 12-volt power ports are located
throughout the cabin and cargo area. The Premium 1 Package
adds a household-type 115-volt outlet in the rear seating area.
Indulgent. Optional heated rear seats add to the pleasures of the
roomy second row. Automatic shutoff means the driver need not
worry if passengers exit without turning off the heaters. And for
the driver’s pleasure, there’s the choice of a hand-finished wood/
leather steering wheel or a heated steering wheel that can quickly
take the chill from your hands on a cool morning.
Ambient. Optional fiber-optic LED ambient lighting encircles the
passenger cabin at night in any of three selectable hues, and
includes the welcoming soft-white glow of illuminated front door
sills. By day, the Premium 1 Package’s double sunvisors can help
shade both the upper windshield and front door windows at once.
Expansive. Beyond the standard power tilt/sliding sunroof, the
optional Panorama roof lets all five passengers enjoy a view of the
sky through an expanse of heat-rejecting tinted glass. The front
section tilts up or slides open, and a power mesh screen shades
the sun. Deep-tinted privacy glass is standard in all rear windows.
