Introduction of the New E-Class Coupé, Model Series 207
Dear reader,
This Introduction into Service Manual presents the
new E-Class coupé in model series 207.
The purpose of this brochure is to acquaint you with
the technical highlights of these vehicles in advance of
their market launch. This brochure is intended to
provide information for people employed in service,
maintenance and repair as well as for aftersales staff.
It is assumed here that the reader is already familiar
with the Mercedes-Benz model series currently on the
market.
In terms of the contents, the emphasis in this Intro-
duction into Service Manual is on presenting new and
modified components and systems.
This Introduction into Service Manual is not intended
as an aid for repairs or for the diagnosis of technical
problems. For such needs, more extensive information
is available in the Workshop Information System (WIS)
and in the Diagnosis Assistance System (DAS).
WIS is updated monthly. Therefore, the information
available there reflects the latest technical status of
our vehicles.
The Introduction into Service Manual presents initial
information relating to the new E-Class coupé in
model series 207 and, as such, is not stored in WIS.
The contents of this brochure are not updated. No
provision is made for supplements.
We will publicize modifications and new features in the
relevant WIS documents. The information presented in
this Introduction into Service Manual may therefore
differ from the more up-to-date information found in
WIS.
All information relating to technical data, equipment
and options is valid as of the copy deadline in
January 2009 and may therefore differ from the
current production configuration.

Vehicle concept
May 2009 will see the ECE market launch of the coupé
version of the new E-Class C 207. The USA market
launch will happen one month later in June 2009. As
each of these new coupés is launched, it will replace
the predecessor model series C 209.
With the new E-Class the customer will receive a new
sports coupé that embodies athletic, sporty, imposing
and passionate character traits with its new design.
The characteristics of the new design have been
realized by the following principal aspects of the new
E-Class coupé:
• Vehicle-specific proportions
• Striking lines
• Brand-specific coupé features

Dimensional concept
The dimensions of model series 207 differ significantly
from those of the predecessor model series 209.
The vehicle has grown in length by 46 mm, of which
45 mm are due to the longer wheelbase.
Not only does this substantial increase in wheelbase
allow the length of the interior compartment to be
enlarged, it also contributes towards further improving
the ride comfort.
The width of the car has also grown by 46 mm, while
the height of the vehicle has been reduced by 21 mm.

Environmental compatibility
Crucial factors in environmental compatibility are not
only fuel economy and emissions while driving, but
also the environmental burden and consumption of
resources from manufacture through vehicle use to
recycling and disposal.
The E-Class coupé is certified on the basis of the strict
international ISO standard "Design for Environment".
This environment certification confirms the holistic
approach in aspects of environmental protection:
• Designed with recycling in mind
• Use of high-quality secondary raw materials
• Use of biomaterials
• Avoidance of potentially hazardous substances
• Recycling concept
BlueEFFICIENCY
With the universal implementation of BlueEFFICIENCY
measures the new E-Class coupé is more economical
and more environmentally compatible without sacri-
ficing typical brand properties such as safety, comfort
and driving pleasure.

The BlueEFFICIENCY measures on market launch and for the engine variants that will be available later are
listed below.

BlueEFFICIENCY measures
1 Weight reduction
Thanks to the lightweight construction with a
mixture of high-strength and ultra high-strength
materials in the bodyshell and the use of aluminum
add-on parts, it has been possible to reduce the
weight of the vehicle considerably and thus achieve
further fuel savings.
2 Fuel pump
By regulating the fuel pump it is possible to drasti-
cally reduce its electrical power consumption. The
power requirements of the fuel pump are relative to
the amount of fuel currently required. Reducing the
electrical output also reduces fuel consumption.
3 Rear axle
Lengthened rear axle ratio leading to a fuel reduc-
tion.
4 Underfloor paneling
Installation of full-length, smooth-surfaced under-
floor paneling to reduce fuel.
5 Outside mirror housing
Aerodynamically shaped outside mirror housings to
reduce fuel.
6 Tires
The use of silicates in the tires means that the tire
temperature quickly increases in critical situations
to improve the grip to the level of a standard tire. At
the same time, all the properties relevant to usage
are preserved and the rolling resistance coefficient
is increased, which improves fuel economy.

7 ECO power steering pump
The ECO power steering pump is based on a
conventional power steering pump with additional
electronic control of the flow rate. In straightline
driving the flow is reduced to a defined minimum.
When the steering wheel is turned, the delivery rate
is increased to the necessary level according to the
vehicle speed. Reducing the delivery rate during
straightline driving decreases the system flow pres-
sure and therefore reduces the system temperature
and the fuel consumption.
8 Radiator shutters
The flow of cooling air through the cooling module
and engine compartment can be regulated by
opening the radiator shutters.
Closing the radiator shutters prevents the engine
compartment from cooling down at low outside
temperatures while increasing the heating power
available in the passenger compartment. In addi-
tion, the aerodynamic drag of the vehicle decreases
due to the reduced input of cooling air (in the E 350
and E 350 CGI).
9 Shift point display
(with 6-speed manual transmission)
The shift point is displayed in the multifunction
display of the instrument cluster. Based on informa-
tion from the engine control unit, the driver can
always see when he should change to a different
gear in the interests of fuel economy. This enables
the driver to optimize his driving style to save fuel.
10 Alternator management
The alternator is switched off-load when the charge
level is sufficiently high (80%). This means that the
vehicle is only supplied by the battery, and the
battery is charged by occasionally coupling in the
alternator during brake applications and in deceler-
ation mode.
11 Engine optimizations
Engines with high outputs and low fuel consump-
tion are used. The 4-cylinder diesel engines feature
2-stage turbocharging.
The 6-cylinder gasoline engine features direct injec-
tion instead of port injection (in the E 350 CGI).
