The Electronic Stability Program (ESP®) is included in the standard equipment of all Mercedes-Benz vehicles. It can reduce the car's danger of skidding by instantly braking one or more wheels as required. If necessary, it also throttles back the engine torque.

Brake Assist (BAS) was developed in order to support the driver in an emergency braking situation. BAS applies the maximum braking force if the brake pedal is applied quickly but too hesitantly. This can significantly reduce stopping distances.

At first glance they merely blaze with passion, but these elegant lighting units actually conceal highly intelligent technology. The lighting power of the headlamps has been improved by a new projection technology.

On request you can light up the road ahead with bi-xenon headlamps, which include the Active Light System and cornering lights (standard for the CLS 63 AMG, but without cornering function). Integrated into the foglamps, the cornering lights are automatically activated up to a speed of 40 km/h when the vehicle lights are switched on, providing additional illumination when cornering or turning off.

The Active Light System ensures that the low-beam lights of the bi-xenon headlamps follow your steering movements, improving illumination of bends by up to 90%. This gives you a better view of the curve and helps you to detect any obstacles earlier than was previously possible. And visibility remains good even when the vehicle is stationary: the LED technology of the bi-xenon headlamps ensures a good level of illumination from the parking lights.

The rear lights feature innovative high-performance bulbs filled with xenon gas. These have a longer operating life than conventional bulbs and consume less electric power. The headlamps are covered by clear, scratch-resistant polycarbonate lenses which are lighter than glass and less vulnerable to stone impact.
