The 2011 E-Class comes with a knee air bag for the driver that minimizes leg injuries in frontal collisions, while pelvic air bags work with the existing curtain and side air bags to provide extra protection for front passengers in dangerous side-impact collisions. At no extra cost, there is a choice of designo mystic white, palladium silver metallic, thulite red metallic and obsidian black metallic. The dashboard, armrest, door handles and parking brake lever are lined in black leather, with contrasting topstitching is some areas. They are accompanied by burr walnut wood trim, and the same, high-grade wood plus leather adorns the steering wheel and selector lever. Outstandingly high seating comfort is assured by the multicontour front seats in black leather with seat climatisation. Additional controls for the multicontour seats are tucked between the seat cushions and center console. Further contrasts are provided by running boards and the spare wheel cover with a 3D Mercedes-Benz star in stainless steel.
Useful accessories include rubber mats for the footwells and load compartment, as well as a load compartment cover including additional stowage boxes. Running boards and a spare wheel cover with a 3D Mercedes-Benz star in stainless steel, as well as an AMG radiator grille in a 3-louvre design with chrome highlights, emphasise its exceptional position in the range. For efficiency and to save space, this design has a tandem catalytic converter housing on each side of the vehicle: adjacent to the firewall, two thin-walled ceramic substrates are grouped into each housing. The bumpers, AMG side flaps and exterior mirrors are always painted in obsidian black metallic. The inner door panels are lined with gathered leather, and black designo velour floor mats with porcelain edging lend a cosy touch to the footwells. Single-tone black designo leather is available as an alternative. A standard leather interior features 14-way adjustable power front seats, integrated headrests, and steel seat frames with integrated suspension. In the interior the stylish atmosphere is characterised by high-grade two-tone upholstery in porcelain/black designo leather.
In the interior the driver and passengers are able to enjoy even more generous appointments. Question 28: May a driver use a computer, tablet, or smartphone (that is not an Automatic On-Board Recording Device) to create, electronically sign, and store the record of duty status (RODS)? Using a console-mounted controller, the central display in the dash can be operated by either the driver or front passenger. Business entrepreneurs are also moving their services from a central location using highly specialized vans. If necessary, PRE-SAFE reacts to fishtailing (or oversteer) as well as "plowing" (or understeer) by using existing sensors for ESP stability control to measure steering angle, vehicle yaw and lateral acceleration. Alongside the permanent all-wheel drive with off-road ratio and the 7G-TRONIC seven-speed automatic transmission, the standard specification includes the electronically controlled traction system 4ETS, the Electronic Stability Program ESP and three differential locks with 100-percent locking effect selectable at the push of a button.
If the car senses an impending collision, the innovative PRE-SAFE system first automatically tensions the seatbelts. Use the value your trade tool to see how much your current car is worth. The cargo versions also see differences in capacity and power. The design options allow the vehicle to be designed for the maximum seating capacity of 12 individuals or for maximum hauling capacity with only the front two cab seats. Optional multicontour seats offer impressively variable seat adjustments through a series of air bladders and mechanical bolsters that are integrated into the bottom cushion and seat back. The 7 series BMW is by far a more serious drivers' machine - whereas the S Class does astonish you from behind the wheel, the 7 series simply blows you away. 500 million dollars with more than 900 people working at the expanded North Charleston site, that number is set to grow up to 1,300 by the end of 2020. According to estimations, suppliers will create an additional 600 new jobs in and around North Charleston.
