If truth be told it’s really no more than just a piece of ore, a chemical element with the symbol Cr and the atomic number 24, ideal for producing corrosion-and heat-resistant alloys. And yet it is responsible for the ruby’s fiery red, for the bright yellow of Van Gogh’s famous sunflowers and for the pounding heart of many a motoring enthusiast: chromium.
In awe of an ore
The mere word recalls memories of those luxurious road cruisers of the 1950s, of glitz and glamour. And to this day it has lost none of its fascination. Perhaps this can be explained by what it actually means: because it was so colourful, chrome was named after the Greek word for colour. And it’s certainly true that chrome is versatile and always appears very vivid, it’s strong, sets trends and thrives on contrasts. Just like the GL-Class Grand Edition, in fact, which our designers have adorned with numerous chrome elements.

Sweet Home Alabama
A splendid beaver lodge on the shores of an idyllic lake covered in reeds in Alabama – nothing out of the ordinary, really. Apart from the fact that the beaver is visited every morning by an environmental engineer, the lake is actually a collecting tank for rainwater and that this picturesque location is to be found in the grounds of the Mercedes-Benz in Tuscaloosa (USA). The environmental engineer Scott Bagget might only have seen the beaver itself twice in the last eleven years, but for him the very presence of this shy animal is of enormous significance. Because it indicates that the water is of excellent quality and at the same time it also represents the high environmental standards at the plant as a whole. So it’s not really surprising to learn that this is where they produce off-roaders that don’t just come complete with an entire package of measures that provide for optimum consumption; they also boast the cleanest diesel engine in the world: the GL-Class Grand Edition.

Who’s going to put the seat in the desired position automatically? Who’s going to operate the sliding sunroof, adjust the headlamps so that they illuminate the bend in the road, move the needle in the tachometer? And what about the electronically commutated claw-pole external rotor? Questions you’ve probably never asked. And yet there’s a very good answer to them. Or, to be precise, there are as many as 150 good answers. Because that’s how many electronic motors there are to take care of all the things you can take for granted in the GL-Class Grand Edition, making every journey so pleasant and safe. Incidentally, an “electronically commutated claw-pole external rotor” helps to achieve perfect climate control. And it’s precisely when you don’t even notice that it’s going about its job that it’s performing sterling service. What you do remember is, quite simply: an extraordinarily good journey.

Transmissions
Chassis and suspension
The intelligent automatic transmission 7G-TRONIC constantly adapts to meet the requirements of the current driving situation and the individual driving style of whoever is at the wheel.
The AIRMATIC air suspension and the Adaptive Damping System ADS really come into their own on the road, offering a high level of comfort as well as impressive agility.
7G-TRONIC: The GL-Class Grand Edition comes as standard with the 7G-TRONIC 7-speed automatic transmission. It is operated via the DIRECT SELECT lever on the steering column. The seven forward gears in the 7G-TRONIC allow an ideally adapted engine speed at all
times, thus cutting fuel consumption, while the shorter shift times and smoother shifts make gear changes easier as well as reducing the noise level. Driving enjoyment is also enhanced: the car benefits from better acceleration and boasts more pulling power.
AIRMATIC air suspension: The AIRMATIC air suspension with its adaptive shock absorbers adjusts itself to suit the prevailing road conditions, load and driving situation. Thanks to its all-round self-levelling ability, the ground clearance always remains constant, irrespective
of the load, so AIRMATIC offers a high standard of comfort on the road, coupled with increased driving stability. Off the beaten track the full air suspension with additional vehicle-level adjustment also boosts the off-road capability of the GL-Class Grand Edition. If necessary the

DIRECT SELECT steering wheel shift paddles and selector lever.
Ground clearance remains constant, irrespective of the load, thanks to the air suspension
The Adaptive Damping System ADS controls the effect of the shock absorbers
What’s more, gears can be skipped for fast in-gear acceleration. Manual shifting is also possible – via the shift paddles on the steering wheel. DIRECT SELECT: The conventional automatic selector lever in the centre console is replaced by the intuitively operated DIRECT SELECT selector lever on the steering column. The driver can use it to set the automatic transmission positions P, N, R and D simply by giving it a light tap. The function commands are then transmitted wholly electronically. Additional steering-wheel gearshift paddles also facilitate manual pre-selection of the seven gears, so drivers can decide whether they want to change gear themselves using the steering-wheel shift paddles or whether they prefer this to be taken care of automatically.
vehicle also switches over to stiffer settings on its own accord, and the vehicle height can be regulated at the mere touch of a button. The body can be raised or lowered at any time when the engine is running - either automatically or by pressing a button. The system operates according to speed and lowers the body by 15 millimeters at both axles automatically at 120 km per hour. This reduces air resistance and increases driving stability. Below 40 km per hour the car’s body is raised to its normal level again.

All-wheel drive The all-wheel-drive system 4MATIC offers the best possible traction and increase driving stability – even when road conditions are poor.
The all-wheel-drive system 4MATIC, including 4ETS: As 4MATIC is always active, it responds instantaneously in poor weather conditions such as rain, black ice or snow. 4MATIC is assisted by the Electronic Stability Program ESP® and the electronic traction system
4ETS with integral ABS and ASR functions which provide additional support for the all-wheel drive. 4ETS enables controlled braking of spinning wheels and, as a consequence, increases the drive torque at the wheels offering good traction, allowing
The electronic traction system 4ETS automatically transfers the drive torque to the wheels with most grip
plenty of power to be planted on the road when moving off and when accelerating, especially on poor road surfaces. 4MATIC makes conventional differential locks superfluous: the automatic braking pulses make it easier to move off on slippery ground
as well as enhancing stability during critical manoeuvres. The all-wheel drive operates via a two-stage transfer case with reduction and is directly connected to the 7G-TRONIC automatic transmission. Under normal circumstances two propshafts with constant velocity joints transfer the torque evenly to the front and rear axle, and a bevel differential takes care of the rotational speed compensation. Working together with the powerful engines and the seven-stage 7G-TRONIC automatic transmission, the 4MATIC all-wheel drive helps the GL-Class Grand Edition to achieve excellent driving dynamics. A perfect team: the 4MATIC is supported by the ESP® and the electronic traction system 4ETS

be used to select different maximum speeds on steep downhill stretches. The two-speed, low-range transfer case has a major contribution to make in ensuring that you feel just as at home off the beaten track in the GL-Class Grand Edition as you do when you’re driving on even road: thanks to the change over function from a higher on-road to a lower off-road ratio. This low-range gear brings you more power and improved traction on unsurfaced roads, making it easier to climb uphill gradients – and also to pull heavy loads. In off-road operation, the electronic driving dynamics systems ESP®/4ETS adapts itself to meet the particular challenges it encounters in difficult terrain, for instance by reprogramming the timing for brake actuations at the wheels and raising the 7G-TRONIC’s shift points, seeing to it that the GL-Class Grand Edition positively glides up hill and down dale with no problem at all.
Off-road capability The GL-Class Grand Edition conquers any kind of terrain - on road or off it.
Off-Road Pro Engineering package: Equipped with its standard - specification Off-Road Pro Engineering package the GL-Class Grand Edition can always find a way even when there is none: take, for instance, the Hill-Start Assist, which helps you to make progress on an incline, or the off-road ABS, which reduces braking distance on
downhill gradients, particularly when driving on loose surfaces. It manages to do this because it is fitted with six piece underbody panelling made of strong plastic, and this offers good protection when driving in off-road terrain. Together with the reinforced front underguard made of steel, the underbody panelling ensures that the
off-roader remains robust when the going gets tough. The modified AIRMATIC facilitates ground clearance of 307 mm in the highest off-road mode, as well as a fording depth of 600 mm, even making light work of stream crossings and rocky stretches. The GL-Class Grand Edition mainly has its front double-wishbone suspension and its
four-link rear suspension to thank for its special off-road capability. The isolated design of the subframes prevents and jolts from being transferred via the vehicle’s body. The upshot is that rough terrain will be virtually imperceptible to you and your passengers, who can be sure of a comfortable ride. Also playing a major role in the
special driving experience the GL-Class Grand Edition has to offer are the 4ETS and the two-speed, low-range transfer case, which not only ensure that the necessary grip is there when you need it in difficult conditions – they also increase those all important safety levels. As does the Downhill Speed Regulation (DSR), which can

“In the event of danger or an accident” When there is an identifiable risk of an imminent accident or it is established that a collision can no longer be avoided, the GL-Class Grand Edition does everything in its power to provide even greater protection for driver and passengers.
PRE-SAFE® system: Depending on the driving situation and vehicle equipment, the system can initiate measures for preventive occupant protection when it detects dangers. Such measures include reversible belt tensioning and automatic closing of the open side windows or the tilting/sliding sunroof. The all-important
PRE-SAFE® uses the valuable seconds before an accident to protect the occupants in case of a collision
information is provided by the sensors of various systems such as Brake Assist or ESP®, which can register critical driving situations like under steering, over steering or emergency braking. Seat belts: For the driver, front passenger and rear passengers on the outer seats, 3-points seat
The flexible side bolsters on the NECK-PRO® luxury head restraints can be adjusted by hand for the driver and front passenger
belts with belt tensioners and belt force limiters come as standard. The seat belts on the front seats also include a new feature, known as a belt buckle tensioner. If this is activated, the seat belt strap for the driver and front passenger is automatically pulled tight at the start of every journey, without making it any less comfortable to wear. NECK-PRO® luxury head restraints: The crash-active NECK-PRO® luxury head restraints improve protection for the occupants and help to reduce the risk of whiplash injury. During a rear-end collision the head restraints are pushed forwards by around 40 millimeters and upwards by 30 millimeters, thus providing support for the heads of the front seat occupants at an early stage. The flexible side bolsters on the luxury head restraints in the front provide additional lateral support for the head, whilst increasing seating comfort at the same time.
Airbags: The interior of the GL-Class Grand Edition also boasts no less than six airbags which can help avoid injuries in case of a collision. Passenger protection includes two front airbags with two stage deployment, depending on the severity of an accident. The GL-Class Grand Edition also has sidebags in the front seat backrests for the driver and front passenger, plus two large windowbags extending over each of the total of three seat rows that are possible. Sidebags for the second row of seats are also available.
Equipment includes windowbags for all three seat rows plus airbags and sidebags for the driver and front passenger

Safe driving
Ambient lighting
In the “safe driving” phase, vehicle systems are able to intervene before an accident can occur. The best examples of this are the assistance systems in the GL-Class Grand Edition, as their awareness can defuse even critical situations.
The new ambient lighting emphasizes the generous, exclusive look of the interior at night.
ESP® including trailer stabilization: While towing, the trailer stabilization gives the driver additional support, along with the standard-specification Electronic Stability ® Program ESP . If the trailer starts swinging back and forth when on the move, this intelligent system can recognize the problematic driving situation and applies
Ambient lighting: The ambient lighting underlines the stylish interior design when darkness falls. On opening the door the driver is met by a pleasant light that makes the interior appear even bigger and cosier than it already is. And it’s now even easier to find what you’re looking for inside the vehicle after dark. To provide the ambient lighting, LED lights/fiber-optic cables are integrated under the dashboard’s trim strips and beneath the four door mirrors. The ambient lighting is automatically switched on when the exterior lights are manually or automatically activated and when the doors are opened. When the doors are closed, the LED lights are dimmed. The light intensity can be set manually in five stages.

The LED daytime driving lights in conjunction with the Intelligent Light System regulate the headlamp range and light distribution
of the low-beam headlamps: by up to ten metres on rural roads and by up to 50 metres on the motorway. It also helps the driver in fog, by providing better illumination of the inner half of the road, thus reducing self-dazzling. The cornering light function and the active light function complete this useful system of lights. The Intelligent Light System with LED daytime driving lights is located on the left and right on the front bumper in the form of light strips each with seven LEDs, bordered with chrome. They serve as a characteristic feature of the vehicle’s appearance, whilst also increasing safety.
The ambient lighting lights up as a narrow band of LEDs along the wood trim strips, the dashboard and all four doors. Five levels of brightness can be selected via the menu in the instrument cluster

Assistance systems
The GL-Class Grand Edition offers an entire programme of entertainment, the COMAND APS multimedia system.
Assistance systems provide additional comfort in the GL-Class Grand Edition. Parking is now child’s play, thanks to PARKTRONIC and the reversing camera.
COMAND APS (Standard for Grand luxury): The COMAND APS multimedia system combines a radio and MP3 player with a hard-disc. It shows all the information you need on a central 6.5-inch colour display. The DVD drive brings you the best in audio entertainment. It also plays CD and MP3 files. What’s more, there is a further 4 GB of memory on the hard-disc drive for audio files in MP3 or WMA format. And an SD memory card slot and Aux-in connection are included in the standard specification.
PARKTRONIC: The PARKTRONIC parking aid helps the driver when parking and manoeuvering in tight spaces. If PARKTRONIC detects that there is not enough space available in front of or behind the vehicle, it warns the driver by giving visual warnings. These are accompanied by acoustic signals if the distance falls below 35 cm. The system works according to the echo-sounder principle; a total of ten sensors send out ultrasound signals which are reflected by other vehicle or obstacles.
Reversing camera (Standard for Grand luxury): The reversing camera can make parking easier. Its wide-angle lens is installed below the handle in the tail end. The reversing camera is automatically switched on when reverse gear is engaged, and shows in the COMAND display exactly what is detected in the area immediately behind the vehicle. It helps make reverse parking easier and safer by giving the driver a better view of the area surrounding the car’s tail end.

Paint, Upholstery and Trim
Thanks to its impressive size, the GL-Class Grand Edition has all it takes to provide an exemplary load compartment.
The innovative paint system developed by Mercedes-Benz includes one of the best clearcoats on the automotive market and is a key factor behind the car’s excellent value retention. The secret lies in the exceptionally dense molecular structure, which makes both the metallic and the non-metallic clearcoats more resistant, helps dirt to bead off more easily and produces a longer-lasting and more intensive shine.
Tailgate with automatic opening/closing system: You can have much of the hard work taken out of loading the vehicle by opting for the EASY-PACK tailgate (only with Grand luxury). It opens and closes electrohydraulically and can be haulted in any intermediate position, to prevent it from knocking against low garage roofs, for example. Stowage capacity can be increased with an additional partitioned load
compartment floor as well as a range of stowage boxes. Load compartment: The generous dimensions of the GL-Class Grand Edition – a length of 5099 millimeters, a width of 1920 millimeters and a height of 1840 millimeters – form the basis for an enormous load compartment. With three rows of seats there are 360 litres of space, without the third row of seats
an impressive 1240 litres. The 2nd and 3rd seat rows can be fully folded down (electrically, for 3rd row seats only), which makes a maximum load compartment capacity of 2200 litres possible. EASY-PACK load compartment cover ensures safe transportation of luggage.

It offers fast round-the-clock response to emergencies & breakdowns. Quick recovery of your vehicle by a Mercedes-Benz dealer, a privileged pick-up from the breakdown location, provision of premium stand-in vehicle as a substitute, convenient air travel options, arrangement of comfortable accomodation and legal & medical aid in case of an accident, are just some of the benefits of this programme.
STAR EASE Package* The Star Ease package*, offered by our dealers, covers all your vehicle's service requirements, as prescribed by the manufacturer. The package is of immense value as it saves time in the workshop by priority handling, bypassing repair estimation & approval processes. The package is transferable from one Customer to another during the contracted period & the benefits can be availed at any Mercedes-Benz workshop across India. Thus, it gives you not only a personal assurance but a financial assurance as well, since you only pay a defined amount according to the vehicle model, contract period and vehicle mileage.
