For a small blue planet

The 124-year heritage of Mercedes-Benz is rich with evidence of our respect for the earth and its inhabitants, both in the vehicles we make and in the ways we make
them. We introduced the world’s first CFC-free car, not just in its air conditioning but throughout its entire manufacturing process. We’ve been using water-borne paints
for years, and source the wood for our interior trim from responsibly sustained forests. We’ve been pioneering advanced powertrains for generations, from today’s new
hybrid models and 50-state clean diesels to the fuel cell vehicles of tomorrow. Mercedes-Benz is also legendary for producing automobiles of extraordinary durability,
with 88% of the vehicles sold in the last 20 years — and a remarkable 75% of all the vehicles we’ve ever sold in the U.S. — still on the road.13 After all, it takes virtually
the same amount of energy to build vehicles that last as ones that won’t.

Our new, more compact brochures consume fewer resources as well, starting with the recycled coated paper they’re printed on. It contains at least 10% post-consumer
waste, has earned Chain of Custody certifications from the Sustainable Forestry Initiative® (SFI) and Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC), and is produced using Green-e®
certified renewable energy. And the brochures are printed in facilities that purchase renewable energy — including wind power, solar energy and hydropower — and use
technologies that reduce both their carbon footprint and the emission of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) into our small blue planet’s atmosphere. Caring innovation
comes from blue-sky thinking — sometimes quite literally. It’s what you can expect from the automaker who’s been sharing this planet with you for longer than anyone.
This is who we are. This is Mercedes-Benz.

A coupe with four doors. Rational, maybe. Inspirational, undoubtedly.
Throughout automotive history, Mercedes-Benz coupes have been cherished for their alluring
blend of innovation and intimacy. Since its inception, the CLS‑Class has expressed this even more
compellingly — with style, performance and craftsmanship that are at once radical, rewarding and
romantic. And while inspiring a new generation of admirers, it also ignited a new genre of automobile:
the 4‑door coupe. Its four finely tailored seats grant individual passage to a motoring experience
that can be shared by all aboard, but with no other car. This is the 2010 CLS‑Class.

Styling this sharp calls for substance on the cutting edge. The beauty of a Mercedes-Benz coupe has always run far deeper than the undeniable
attraction of its appearance. Beneath the taut sculpting of the CLS‑Class bodywork resides the engineering expertise whose roots trace to the invention of the crumple
zone, fuel injection and the automobile itself. This ongoing heritage of innovation continues with PRE‑SAFE,® an industry-first safety breakthrough that can tighten
the front seat belts, adjust the front passenger seat, and even close the windows and sunroof to better prepare you for an impending collision.4 Of course, with its
Electronic Stability Program (ESP®) and emergency-sensing Brake Assist — accident-avoidance technologies also pioneered by Mercedes-Benz — its foremost goal
is to keep you out of harm’s way, and securely on the leading edge of fashion.

need never print a paper copy at all. By doing so, together we are saving the energy associated with conventional printing, and eliminating the waste and emissions as
well. Caring innovation comes from blue-sky thinking — sometimes quite literally. It’s what you can expect from the automaker who’s been sharing this small blue planet
