As an option the new SL is available with the unique active suspension system ABC (Active Body Control) as an alternative. At present the new 4MATIC generation provides the customers of Mercedes-Benz with a one-of-a-kind system that helps them to easily master critical situations especially when faced with extreme road conditions such as driving along icy, snowy, slippery cobblestones or wet surfaces which makes it difficult to control vehicles. Mercedes-Benz GLK was leaked into the net last December. The last and most important consideration that you need to have in mind is the design options that are available and compatible with your vehicle. If you’re considering buying one, think about better and safer options first. Active cruise control, Traffic Sign Assist, Hold function, Parking Package with 360-degree camera system and sensors, Drive Away Assist, Active Brake Assist, Attention Assist drowsiness detection, Emergency Call system, Rear Cross Traffic and Exit alert are found on the options list too.
The weight-reduced rear axle carrier consists of high-strength steel. Like its predecessor, the new SL with adjustable damping also has an anti-roll bar, which is mounted directly at the rear axle and assembled together with the subframe, and serves to reduce the connection points with the bodyshell. A lightweight construction was also systematically implemented at the rear axle, too. In favour of sporty, agile and handling which can be safely kept under control, the new SL has a considerably wider track than the predecessor (front axle plus 38 mm, rear axle plus 63 mm). In order to optimise the front axle even further in terms of weight, in the new SL the steering knuckle and the spring link are also made of aluminium. One of the key elements the van keeps is the front step that makes it easier to reach the windshield and engine bay for cleaning and maintenance.
This system’s highly effective control elements are spring struts with a hydraulic steel cylinder arranged in line with the steel spring. The CLS Grand Edition's interior is distinguished by "designo" leather upholstery in "marron" - with the option of substituting this shade for sand, black, mystic red, porcelain or chablis, roof lining in anthracite Alcantara, together with the standard-fit tilting/sliding glass roof and trim elements in high-quality laurel wood that can be ordered with either a matt or a high-gloss finish. It is one of the best vans ever and it comes with a premium interior. The Mercedes Viano Fun comes in both five- and seven-seat varieties. This enables the new SL to shine with yet more agility, making cornering even more fun as a result. This sports suspension lowers the roadster by ten millimetres, the spring strut and torsion bars are configured to be ten percent more rigid and the parameterisation of the adjustable damping is selected in such a way that the sprung mass vibration is dampened more strongly - all measures which underline the vehicle’s sporty character. On this basis it steplessly regulates the damping valves at every wheel within a broad damping characteristic so that sprung mass vibrations such as lifting, rolling and pitching are minimised on uneven roads.
This means that only 2.2 turns of the steering wheel from limit to limit are now necessary. The control unit uses the sensor data to determine the necessary damping forces for optimum comfort and handling. In conjunction with the ABC suspension no torsion bar is necessary. The broad spread of suspension settings is supported by a new electromechanical Direct-Steer system with speed-sensitive steering power assistance and a variable steering ratio that changes according to the steering angle. In contrast to other variable steering systems, the ratio of the Direct-Steer system decreases rapidly after a steering angle of 5 degrees, becoming extremely direct from a steering angle of just 100 degrees. The ratio is very indirect when the steering is centred, which ensures good straight-line stability and therefore a high level of safety. It achieved superb results where comfort, dynamism, agility plus active and passive safety are concerned. The cargo partition also plays a great role in enhancing the safety of the occupants. As the vibrations initiated by irregularities in the road surface are greatly reduced, the occupants in the SL experience a vehicle with perfect absorption capacity on poor roads.
That’s to say that the car draws inspiration from the original 300SL Gullwing of the Fifties, a legendary racing and road car that's highly valued by collectors today. The first examples will be delivered in 2018, the same year the rival Aston Martin and Red Bull Racing collaboration, the AM-RB 001, is due. The C 117 (internal designation) is a crucial player, because it will be the first exponent of the new generation of compact Mercedes-Benz cars to be sold in the United States, before the other two siblings. Jaguar and Mercedes-Benz also announced in March 2005 that Sirius radios would be a dealer-installed option on some of their models. If you really need capacity, models like these are a better bet - but then you really need that, you really should consider a small van in the first place? A number of major car-makers use Australia to put new models through their paces ahead of a wider global launch. I have listed the best types of oil to use on your Mercedes Benz Vito or Sprinter.
