Beneath the glistening chrome that drapes most
large luxury SUVs lurks the underpinnings of a
pickup truck. Not the GLS. With the heart, body
and soul of a Mercedes-Benz, it’s engineered to
shine on other surfaces: slippery streets, winding
mountain roads, even crowded urban avenues. A
rigid, aerodynamically refined unibody enhances
handling precision, riding comfort, and occupant
safety. Its muscular lines, subtle chrome accents,
and sizable wheels — from 19" to 21" — express the
confidence you’ll feel from behind the wheel. Yet
while its commanding view and spacious luxury let
you live large, a GLS doesn’t drive large. Its sure-
footed agility is evidence of its dual lineage — SUVs
that have conquered rugged terrain, and sedans
whose poised performance can stimulate drivers
and soothe passengers on the same journey. And
it offers first-class amenities to passengers in all
three of its seating rows, from a choice of sunroof
sizes to a choice of surround-sound options. It’s
not just a full-size SUV. It’s a more fulfilling SUV.

Inside and out, LED ILLUMINATION is

4 Unsecured cargo can become hazardous in a collision. Always secure cargo using the floor-mounted
tie-downs.
5 Off-road driving should only be attempted by drivers with the necessary skill, experience and
understanding of the vehicle’s limits. Read Operator’s Manual before driving off-road or in deep water.
6 Even the most advanced safety systems may not be sufficient to avoid an accident. Please refer to
more detailed information on specific systems elsewhere in this brochure, at MBUSA.com, and in the
vehicle’s Operator’s Manual. Some systems may be optional.
7 System cannot prevent a collision, and does not alert the driver of an impending collision or system
activation. It does not intervene if vehicle is backing up, and does not apply the brakes if the driver is
accelerating or if Active Parking Assist is operating. When PRE-SAFE closes the side windows, a small
gap is left near the fully closed position.
8 Rearview camera and Surround View System do not audibly notify driver of nearby objects and are not
a substitute for actively checking around the vehicle for any obstacles or people. Images displayed may
be limited by camera field of view, weather, lighting conditions and the presence of dirt, ice or snow on
the cameras.
9 Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC® cruise control is not a substitute for active driving involvement. It
does not adapt cruising speed in response to stationary objects, nor does it predict the curvature and
lane layout of the road ahead or the movement of vehicles ahead. Active Steering Assist requires driver
to hold steering wheel and be ready to steer vehicle at any time. It may not recognize lane markings in
some lighting, weather and road conditions. It is the driver’s responsibility at all times to be attentive to
traffic and road conditions, and to provide the steering, braking and other driving inputs necessary to
retain control of the vehicle. Drivers are cautioned not to wait for the system’s alerts before braking, as
that may not afford sufficient time and distance to brake safely.
10 Drivers are cautioned not to wait for the system’s alerts before braking, as that may not afford
sufficient time and distance to brake safely. Braking effectiveness also depends on proper brake
maintenance, and tire and road conditions. See Operator’s Manual for system operating speeds and
additional information and warnings.
11 Blind Spot Assist is a warning system only. Blind Spot Assist or Active Blind Spot Assist may not be
sufficient to avoid all accidents involving vehicles in your blind spot and does not estimate the speed of
approaching vehicles. It must not be used as a substitute for driver awareness and checking of
surrounding traffic conditions. See Operator’s Manual for system’s operating speeds and additional
information and warnings.
12 Driving while drowsy or distracted is dangerous and must be avoided. ATTENTION ASSIST® and Lane
Keeping Assist are warning systems only. ATTENTION ASSIST, Lane Keeping Assist and Active Lane
Keeping Assist may be insufficient to alert a fatigued or distracted driver of lane drift and cannot be
relied on to avoid an accident or serious injury. See Operator’s Manual for system’s operating speeds
and additional information and warnings.
13 Parking assistance systems are not substitutes for driver attention to the immediate surroundings,
as well as any people, animals or vehicles in or approaching the vehicle’s maneuvering range. System
cannot determine if a space is legally available or of a suitable surface for parking. See Operator’s
Manual for additional information, tips and warnings.
14 While the navigation system provides directional assistance, the driver must remain focused on safe
driving behavior, including paying attention to traffic and street signs. The driver should utilize the
system’s audio cues while driving and should only consult the map or visual displays once the vehicle
has been stopped in a safe place. Maps do not cover all areas or all routes within an area.
15 The purchase of a new, satellite radio-enabled vehicle includes a 6-month introductory subscription
to the Sirius All Access package, as well as a 5-year introductory subscription to SiriusXM Traffic

19 Stated rates of acceleration are estimated based upon manufacturer’s track results and may vary
depending on model, environmental and road surface conditions, driving style, elevation and vehicle load.
20 Active Brake Assist may not be sufficient to avoid an accident. It does not react to certain stationary or
suddenly moving objects or pedestrians, may not react in certain situations where objects cannot be
clearly identified, nor does it recognize or predict the curvature and/or lane layout of the road or every
movement of vehicles and pedestrians ahead. It is the driver’s responsibility at all times to be attentive
to traffic and road conditions, and to provide the steering, braking and other driving inputs necessary
to retain control of the vehicle. Drivers are cautioned not to wait for the system’s alerts before braking,
as that may not afford sufficient time and distance to brake safely. See Operator’s Manual for system
operating speeds and additional information and warnings.
21 Steering wheel options may not be ordered together.
22 Roadside Assistance repairs may involve charges for parts, service and towing. Vehicle must be
accessible from main roads. Depending on the circumstance, these services may be provided by

of nature and vehicle accessibility may limit our ability to provide services to you. For full details,
