emissions are falling across the entire fleet.

And finally, there’s the new GLK — a compact twist on the DnA of our award-winning SUVs — to round out the lineup. Brilliantly.

GLK 350 shown at left in optional Iridium Silver metallic paint   with optional Premium 1 Package.

Up for anything because it’s been through everything.

The new GLK.

In november 2006, a team of 30 Mercedes-Benz engineers and mechanics circled the globe with one goal in mind: to combine their SUV expertise into one vehicle.

For the next two years, they test-drove the remarkable GLK more than 1.5 million miles. over punishing terrain. In the Arctic Circle. In the African desert. The GLK endured it all, resulting in performance both spirited and efficient. The uncompromising exterior, with roof rails, chrome accents and bold 19" wheels, flashes its authority like a badge. of course, the 2010 GLK also features pure Mercedes-Benz touches like dual-zone climate control, Bluetooth

and 54 cu ft of cargo space.

2

So, step up. or step aside.

GLK 350 shown in Black paint with optional 4 MATIC  4-wheel drive, running boards and Premium 1 Package.  

Please see page 29 for Endnotes.

Big performance The GLK drives big for its size  because its upright windshield  design and standard 19" wheels  help provide a commanding view of  the road. The long, flat hood also  contributes to the substantial ride.

Continually variable suspension

Our patented AGILITY CONTROL  technology selectively adjusts to  changes in road conditions for the  most balanced ride possible.

4 MATIC 4-wheel drive with 4-wheel Electronic

Traction System (4-ETS)

Take comfort in this   available system’s ability to   provide maximum grip,   even on slippery roads.

3

Dual-exhaust system Unlike certain systems, the GLK  does not have a single exhaust  system with two cosmetic tailpipes. 

It’s the real deal.

Trial by fire. And ice.

The new GLK stared down slopes of up to 70%.

4

In a range of extreme temperatures, no less, from -11° F to 158° F. How is it so capable on-road and off? An AGILITy ConTroL suspension and available 4

MATIC

4-wheel drive, for starters. These advances arm it with performance–passing quality that can flatten hills and straighten turns. In short, it drives like a Mercedes-Benz.

A 7-speed automatic and a 268-horsepower V-6 combine to put muscle behind the GLK’s lightning-fast reflexes. The dual chrome exhaust tips say it all: this is an SUV that hits 60 mph in 6.5 seconds.

5

So you get the most versatile, most comfortable vehicle you demand. no, everyday driving may not be as extreme as our testing conditions. But it is nice to know the GLK was designed to conquer them. With ease.

GLK 350 shown at left in Mars Red paint with optional running boards and Appearance, Lighting and Premium 1 Packages.  

Please see page 29 for Endnotes.

In a land where pavement turns from snow to ice and back in milliseconds, the test team drove the GLK through a slalom course on a frozen lake. Why? To precision-tune the steering while the wheels self-adjusted to slippery surfaces.

3

In addition, our pioneering Electronic Stability Program

(ESP

®

) has been recalibrated for extreme conditions.

ESP still continually monitors vehicle movements, braking wheels individually and reducing engine power to counteract understeer (plowing) and oversteer

(fishtailing).

3

only now it does so with greater skill — even if you’re towing a trailer.

6

And if uncertain situations do arise, the body structure leaves no doubt; it’s made from over 70% high-strength steel. All for an unrivaled sense of security.

Played chicken with a frozen lake so you’ll never have to be scared of an icy parking lot.

Cabin comfort.

From African desert to

American downtown.

While the road may not be mined with frozen lakes, sand dunes or severe inclines, it often presents challenges of its own like rough surfaces, traffic jams and bad weather. That’s why the interior is designed to sound just the right notes of convenience, luxury and versatility. regardless of conditions outside.

POWER & PERFORMANCE GLK-Class

Power

3.5-liter V-6 engine

The V-6 in the GLK is as efficient as it is exuberant.

It commands 268 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of peak torque to keep your adrenaline flowing, moving from 0 to 60 mph in just 6.5 seconds.

5 Continually variable timing on both the intake and exhaust valves coupled with a dual-stage intake manifold helps this powerplant deliver 100% of its peak torque from 2,400–5,000 rpm, ensuring immediate response to every throttle input.

18

7-speed automatic transmission

Enjoy the ideal gear ratio in virtually every driving situation. This driveradaptive design comes equipped with Touch Shift and results in smoother cruising and immediate response for acceleration and passing, and even improved fuel efficiency on the highway. Clearly, our passion for engineering isn’t limited to our engines.

Performance

4 matic 4-wheel drive

Available for the GLK-Class, this permanent 4-wheel-drive system provides optimum traction — even in slippery conditions — thanks to our advanced 4-wheel Electronic Traction

System (4-ETS). 4-ETS can get you going even when only one wheel has grip. Sensors at each wheel monitor traction. If one or more wheels start to slip, 4-ETS brakes those wheels individually and ensures that power is delivered to the wheel or wheels with traction, keeping you cruising along.

3

Advanced braking systems

The dual-circuit hydraulic disc brakes in the GLK offer our electronic 4-channel Antilock Braking System (ABS), an industry landmark pioneered by Mercedes-Benz in 1978. Take comfort in powerfully precise, nearly fade-free stopping control courtesy of large brake-disc dimensions. The systems are also enhanced with still more innovations, from Brake Drying that helps maintain maximum stopping power in inclement weather to Hill-Start

Assist that helps prevent rolling back from a stop on inclines.

10

Brake Assist (BAS)

Research shows that drivers seldom apply the brakes hard enough, soon enough in emergency situations. BAS monitors brake-pedal application speed to sense emergency braking and, in such cases, can deliver maximum stopping power, thereby helping to reduce overall stopping distances.

10

AGILITY CONTROL suspension

Assured handling and a balanced ride — in a range of driving circumstances. It’s all due, in part, to the GLK’s 3-link front and multilink rear suspension that boasts our AGILITY CONTROL breakthrough with an amplitude-dependent damping system.

This innovation adjusts dampers based on road conditions and the driver’s current driving style. The result is individual — and automatic — control of each wheel for optimum stability and superb comfort.

GLK-Class AMENITIES

21

PROTECTION GLK-Class

22

Integrated Supplemental Restraint System

The GLK-Class features the 8-way protection of a 6-air-bag system. It includes dual-stage front air bags (adaptive for the passenger side), front-seat side-impact air bags and full-length

Window Curtain Air Bags. The Window Curtain Air Bags deploy along the front and rear side-door windows on the affected side of the vehicle to help protect outboard occupants from head injury and broken glass in certain side impacts or rollovers that exceed the deployment threshold.

7

Antilock Braking System (ABS)

ABS senses impending wheel lockup under heavy braking and pumps the front brakes individually or the rear brakes together.

This intelligent system can pump the brakes as needed up to 30 times per second to prevent lockup and preserve steering ability.

10

Active Front Head Restraints

In the case of a rear impact exceeding a preset threshold, the Active Front Head Restraints move forward and slightly upward, reducing the distance between the head restraints and the front-seat occupants’ heads. This action helps limit the rearward travel of their heads, thus reducing the possibility or severity of whiplash-type neck injuries.

Electronic Stability Program (ESP ® )

This advance continually monitors your vehicle’s motion to help keep you going in your intended direction. If it detects wheelspin, severe understeer (plowing) or oversteer (fishtailing),

ESP can brake individual wheels and reduce engine power to help bring the vehicle under control.

3 Mercedes-Benz pioneered this safety landmark in 1995 and has continued to refine its exacting performance ever since.

Innovative seat-belt technology

Equipped with Emergency Tensioning Devices (ETDs) and belt force limiters, 17 seat belts are arguably our most important passive safety feature. If a collision exceeds a preset threshold, the ETDs instantly remove slack from the seat belts. Belt force limiters allow a slight amount of give in the seat belts and reduce the peak seat-belt forces on the occupant.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System

The Tire Pressure Monitoring System will automatically detect a substantial loss of tire pressure in any wheel and alert the driver via a warning message.

Side-impact protection

Reinforced doors, side sills and floorpan are part of an integrated safety design that also includes high-strength seat structures and front-seat side-impact air bags. All of these systems work together to help protect occupants during side impacts.

GLK-Class PROTECTION

Protection

Body structure

A range of precision safety elements work together to help protect you and your passengers in the event of a collision. Raising the bar for the industry, the body consists of about 50% High-Strength/

Low-Alloy and 20% Ultra-High-Strength/Low-Alloy steel for an exceptionally rigid structure. Moreover, advanced front and rear crumple zones deform progressively to help absorb the energy of an impact. A front bulkhead also helps channel some of the forces of a frontal impact around the cabin, away from the occupants.

Passive safety systems

• Dual-stage front air bags for driver and front passenger

COLOR & TRIM GLK-Class

Color and Trim

Design a GLK all your own

Choose between stylish MB-Tex or optional leather upholstery.

Then make your selection from an array of metallic and non-metallic exterior paints. And to keep your vehicle’s exterior looking its best for a long time, Mercedes-Benz uses nanotechnology — specifically, microscopic ceramic nano-particles.

Each ceramic nano-particle is tens of thousands of times thinner than a human hair, but when joined together they are incredibly durable. When the clearcoat is applied, the nano-particles float around freely in the liquid paint. The resulting finish offers considerably greater and longer-lasting resistance to fine scratches — such as those caused by car washes and environmental factors — than conventional paint finishes, for an enduring deep gloss. With this many smart choices, there’s bound to be a design combination for you.

Accessories

A Mercedes-Benz is the definition of luxury and performance.

It can also be a statement of personal style. So take a moment to survey our genuine accessories. Each is designed, engineered and tested to the same exacting standards as your vehicle.

Which is to say, to your own high standards.

Aerodynamic Package

Shade the edges of your vehicle from end to end with this trio of enhancements. The rear spoiler sharpens the back bumper; the roof spoiler heightens the roofline. Both are ready for quick installation.

18 Lastly, the precision-fitted front lower-spoiler trim lowers the bodyline of the GLK for a more dramatic sweep — and improved airflow. Together, this trio amplifies the dynamic appearance overall.

Exterior accents

Our high-sheen chrome foglamp covers and trim tailgate, coupled with stainless-steel roof rails, complement the range of coordinating exterior refinements.

18 In addition, help protect your finish from scratches and add yet another touch of class with our set of four chrome door-handle inserts.

Cargo area tray and box

Solidly made, specially fitted and easily cleaned, this large tray features 2" sides and protects the cargo area of your GLK.

A cargo box is also sold separately to support and secure tall objects such as grocery bags.

GLK-Class ACCESSORIES

Carrier bars and roof cargo system

Preserve the sophistication of your vehicle as you transport myriad items, all safely and securely. In conjunction with our basic carrier bars, this carrier system can be enhanced with available components to accommodate bicycles, ski and snowboard racks, and more.

Optional cargo containers — aerodynamic and lightweight, yet exceptionally durable — let you add up to 16 cu ft of extra space for sports equipment and luggage. Not using the carrier bars?

Not a problem. They can easily be stowed in the accompanying nylon storage bag.

Universal Media Interface (UMI)

Upgrade the sound system of your vehicle with this dynamic navigation and entertainment tool. Its map technology provides the best possible directions to your destination, while its music integration invites you to provide your own soundtrack via

MP3-player hookup. And it’s all easily accessed by the central controller or the multifunction steering wheel. There’s also

Real-Time Traffic assistance with automatic rerouting to help avoid backups. So even if you take a different road, you still enjoy the same UMI pleasures.

Light-alloy wheels

Our accessory wheels boldly enhance your GLK. One set is a massive 20" twin 5-spoke design, the other an arresting 19"

7-spoke design, and both flash a sterling-silver finish.
