2013
G LK-CLASS
F ROM THE SHARPEST CORNERS OF THE EARTH.
For every ounce of muscle you can see in the boldly redesigned 2013 GLK‑Class, there’s even more strength waiting beneath its surface, and behind its rewarding performance. In creating this SUV embodiment of a sport sedan’s soul, Mercedes-Benz engineers traveled not just to the far corners of the globe, but to the high banks and hairpin turns of their own test tracks. The result is a compact SUV with character that far outsizes its exterior dimensions. With responsiveness that outpaces your expectations. And with refinement and style that simply outshine. You might say that the performance, safety and luxury of a Mercedes-Benz sport sedan are all hiding inside every GLK‑Class. But in truth, they’re not hidden at all.

F LEX, AND REFLEX. As with any gifted athlete, success is not achieved from muscle alone. Of course, as its new Direct Injection V‑6 engine aptly demonstrates, it’s a commanding head start. But within its crisp, upright lines, a GLK is an exceptionally well-rounded performer. It expertly wields its ample torque through a 7‑ speed automatic transmission with sporty shift paddles. Its standard 19" alloy wheels, AGILITY CONTROL® suspension and highly rigid body respond to every twist in the road with quick, precise reflexes. And unlike many SUVs of its size, the GLK’s confident footwork comes from its naturally balanced rear - wheel drive or the option of nimble, efficient 4matic® all- wheel drive. Muscle, after all, is most impressive — and most effective — when you know how to flex it.
GLK 350. An advanced new 302‑hp Direct Injection V‑6 and clever ECO Start/Stop system convert less gasoline into more power with fewer emissions. Serenaded by the mellow growl of true dual exhausts, it can return 60 mph in 6.4 seconds,1 or up to 25 highway mpg.2
Reveling. A new generation of refinements makes the 7‑ speed automatic swifter and smoother than ever. Adaptive logic paces the shifting to your driving style. Sport and ECO modes let you emphasize rpm or mpg on demand. And a new electronic selector and shift paddles let you change gears without taking your hands off the wheel. Riveting. The tenacity of 4matic all - wheel drive is a GLK 350 option that adds driving confidence year-round. Its integral 4 ‑wheel Electronic Traction System (4 ‑ETS®) can continually redistribute the torque to the wheels with the best grip — even if that’s a single wheel.3 And with its light weight and 45:55 front/rear torque split, 4matic is also efficient, sporty and fun on dry roads.
Revitalizing. The GLK’s fully independent multilink suspension shares more than its limber configuration with our sport sedans. It also features our AGILITY CONTROL — an innovation that responds to the motion of each wheel. With every change in the road surface, it instantly recalibrates the damping rates for quick, athletic handling while maintaining a calm, composed ride. Ravishing. The standard 19" triple 5‑spoke wheels offer ample evidence of the GLK’s roadholding expertise. Or go even bolder with either of two 20" wheel options: A twin 5‑spoke design in the Appearance Package. Or legendary AMG® twin 5‑spoke alloy wheels, set off by the sculpted lower bodywork of the AMG Styling Package.
R EFINED, REFINISHED AND REFINESSED. N EARLY 1,000 ENHANCEMENTS. COUNTLESS ENTICEMENTS. The moment you see its emboldened grille, expressive new headlamps and LED taillamps, it’s obvious that the 2013 GLK‑Class has undergone a revolution. But you’re only touching the surface of its extensive reengineering. From its advanced new safety systems to its innovative multimedia technologies, the redesigned GLK is enhanced with nearly 1,000 new features, components and detail elements. Climb inside its completely renovated cabin, and you might find that touching its surfaces is simply irresistible. A wide span of sustainably forested, hand-polished Burl Walnut wood sweeps across its new dash. And exquisitely crafted metal trim encircles its air vents and highlights its colorful three-dimensional gauges. But don’t just take in its commanding view and elegant new controls. Take it out, and open it up. What you’ll feel is exactly what the GLK’s engineers intended: 1,000 times better.
Entrancing. At once smoother and more muscular, the GLK’s bold design sports brilliant new elements. From the intriguing details of its LED lighting to the chrome accents of its new front and rear bumpers, its upright shape is anything but uptight. Advancing. Behind the alluring style of its new cabin awaits a bevy of useful and user - friendly new technology. Intuitive controls on the console and the sporty 3 -spoke steering wheel team with vivid color displays in the dash. A wide world of entertainment and navigation options, as well as the convenience of the Internet in your vehicle,4 can all be within your reach. Ensconcing. While you bask in the richer materials and colors of its luxurious cabin, you can also take in blue skies or a blanket of stars with the optional Panorama roof. Its vast expanse of heat-resistant tinted glass offers majestic vistas to all five GLK passengers. The power tilt/sliding front section and power sunshade allow you to choose breezy, scenic or cozy as you wish. Enhancing. From their distinctive wheels to their brushed aluminum roof rails, the AMG Styling Package and the Appearance Package let you pump up the GLK’s visual muscle while boosting its sporty versatility. Optional brushed aluminum running boards further underscore its purposeful design.

P ROTECTIVE IN NATURE, AND ANYWHERE THINGS GET WILD. Wherever you seek adventure in a GLK‑Class, you travel with a legion of reinforcements and a legacy of safety innovation. And while its engineering is on the leading edge, its survival instincts have been honed for generations. Since the invention of the first crumple zone, Mercedes -Benz engineers have spent more than 60 years preparing for the unexpected. In the 1970s, they earned a patent for the air bag. And in the decades to follow, they pioneered a portfolio of safety breakthroughs that went on to become industry standards — like the Antilock Braking System (ABS), Electronic Stability Program (ESP®) and emergency-sensing Brake Assist (BAS®). They were even first to bring side curtain air bags and the 4‑wheel Electronic Traction System (4‑ETS) to the world of SUVs. Explore the 2013 GLK‑Class and you’ll see much more than these well-known safety benchmarks. You’ll discover advancements that predict tomorrow’s SUVs, while helping to protect your own tomorrow, starting now. For example, its standard new ATTENTION ASSIST® is a Mercedes-Benz innovation that helps detect driver drowsiness on longer trips. As you drive your GLK on a rainy highway, its brakes intelligently act to help disperse water buildup. And should any of its nine air bags be activated, the standard mbrace® system4 can automatically place a call for help. Far more than a list of features, every GLK‑Class is an orchestrated safety system — engineered to make the most of the precious milliseconds it takes to avoid, or survive, a collision. Perhaps that’s why, even before its many new enhancements, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety named the GLK‑Class a Top Safety Pick in 2011 and 2012.5 Wherever you drive, the GLK’s advanced safety engineering is looking ahead, while watching your back. Because sometimes you really need a leader behind you.

Brilliant lighting. Bright white LED Daytime Running Lamps and new fiber-optic LED taillamps help make your presence more apparent to other drivers. With the optional Lighting Package, Bi ‑Xenon headlamps generate light that’s perceived more like natural daylight than halogen lamps. They also feature two advanced systems that continuously vary the angle and beam pattern of the headlamps: Active Curve Illumination swivels the beams as you steer into corners. And Adaptive Highbeam Assist maximizes the illumination of straightaways, without causing glare for other drivers. The package also includes headlamp washers.
High-strength body. Approximately 70% of the GLK‑Class body structure is made from ultra-high- and high-strength steel. Beyond its advanced crumple zones, the structure is also designed to help to divert impact energy over, under and around the reinforced passenger cabin.
DISTRONIC PLUS. A Mercedes -Benz innovation and new GLK option, this radar-based cruise control adapts your set speed in response to the flow of traffic ahead — automatically slowing until your path is clear again. If the vehicle ahead slows to a stop, DISTRONIC PLUS® can also brake to a full halt, then resume automatically when traffic starts going.11
ATTENTION ASSIST. By continually monitoring a variety of driving behaviors, this Mercedes -Benz innovation can audibly and visually alert the driver if it detects signs of drowsiness on long trips. More than 70 variables are measured to establish a pattern in the first minutes of each drive and determine the warning thresholds accordingly.6 Active Blind Spot and Lane Keeping Assists. These optional systems can alert you to some unseen vehicles in the adjacent lane,7 and can warn you of unintended drifting across visible lane markings.6 Both systems are also available with advanced active technology that can help guide the car back into its own lane if the driver disregards the alerts. Rear view camera. When you shift into Reverse, this option shows a live color image of the area right behind your GLK on the in-dash screen.8
Accident avoidance. Two systems pioneered by Mercedes - Benz help you avoid potential collisions. ESP monitors the vehicle’s response to such driving inputs as steering and braking, and responds to help keep the vehicle on course during extreme maneuvers.3 And Brake Assist can automatically maximize braking pressure if it detects an emergency braking situation, potentially shortening your overall stopping distance.9 Adaptive braking. The 4 ‑ wheel disc brakes incorporate technology to help make driving more reassuring and relaxing in a variety of situations. If the driver lifts off the accelerator quickly, Predictive Brake Priming sets the pads closer to the discs for quicker response when the driver steps on the brakes. In the rain, Automatic Brake Drying periodically applies the brakes just enough to sweep away water buildup on the discs. During uphill starts, Hill -Start Assist helps prevent unwanted rollback. And a HOLD feature can help make driving in stop-and - go traffic easier.9 Towing. Every GLK‑Class can tow up to 3,500 lbs when equipped with the optional trailer hitch.10 Standard Trailer Stability Assist integrates with the sensors for ESP to help detect trailer oscillation when towing.
PRE - SAFE Brake. Even if you’re not using cruise control, DISTRONIC PLUS can help detect an impending collision with a vehicle ahead. Its PRE‑SAFE® Brake system can alert the driver and automatically apply up to 100% braking force, to help reduce the severity of an impact.9 Advanced restraints. Nine standard air bags offer 11-way protection.12 Dual -stage front air bags are augmented by a driver’s knee air bag. Innovative pelvic air bags complement the front-seat side-impact air bags. Side curtain air bags are provided at all four outboard seating positions, as are seat- belt Emergency Tensioning Devices (ETDs) and belt-force limiters. And in a rear impact, NECK‑PRO® active front head restraints can respond to help reduce whiplash-type injuries. Post-collision response. If an air bag or ETD deploys, the standard Mercedes -Benz mbrace® system’s Automatic Collision Notification can initiate a call to our 24 ‑hour emergency response center — even if you cannot.4 The GLK‑Class can also automatically shut off its engine and fuel supply, and turn on the hazard flashers and some interior lights.

TRACK STAR, IN ANY ARENA. T ECHNOLOGY THAT’S A LEAP, BUT NOT A HURDLE. Whether you’re sprinting across town or trekking across the countryside, the GLK has a knack for making driving a sport rather than a chore. Logical controls, clear gauges and two vivid color displays are gracefully coordinated in their placement, appearance and operation.13 Its Premium leather - wrapped multifunction steering wheel and intuitive central controller bring the talents of its advanced technology instinctively to your hands. Bluetooth® and optional Enhanced Voice Control deliver them hands - free, to help you keep your eye on the ball. Advanced multimedia systems seamlessly unite your options in navigation, your music tracks from up to 10 different sources, and a world of connections — including the new in-dash Internet features available with the Mercedes - Benz mbrace2™ system.4 And when you’re near the finish line, its available PARKTRONIC system sizes up open spaces as you drive by, then expertly steers you in with precision worthy of a gold medal.
Teamwork. An elegant central controller on the console and a multifunction steering wheel team up with a 4.5" display within the speedometer and a standard 5.8" LCD screen in the central dash. Together they bring you a sharp, colorful world of entertainment, navigation, and even personalized vehicle settings. The standard Bluetooth system lets you enjoy hands -free calling and wireless audio streaming from your digital music player.14 Harmony. Beyond such standard audio features as a USB input, AUX jack and HD Radio™ stations, an array of options offer virtually limitless listening: Immerse yourself in 510 watts of harman/kardon LOGIC7 ® surround sound. Take in the nationwide programming of SiriusXM Radio with 6 months of service.15 Bring your own soundtrack with an iPod ®/MP3 Media Interface,16 a 6 ‑ disc DVD/CD player, an SD memory card reader, and a 10GB Music Register that stores your digital music on an in -dash hard drive. And treat your passengers to a state-of - the - art Rear Seat Entertainment system with twin screens and multiple input sources.
Collaboration. The Multimedia Package includes a navigation system17 with a fast 80GB hard drive. Its vivid 7" LCD screen can display 3D maps with building profiles, and it includes built- in Zagat ® Survey ratings for restaurants, hotels and golf courses. SiriusXM Traffic with dynamic re-routing and SiriusXM Weather help smooth your journey.17 And Enhanced Voice Control lets you operate the navigation, audio — including your iPod — and your phone, all with your natural speaking voice. Synergy. Two optional systems help you maneuver in tight quarters. The rear view camera8 provides active on -screen guidelines that adapt as you turn the steering wheel. And PARKTRONIC’s ultrasonic sensors and in-cabin displays help you to avoid nearby obstacles. Its new Active Parking Assist feature surveys the open parallel- parking spots as you drive by — sizing them up and letting you know which are a good fit. Then, as you back into your chosen space, the system automatically takes care of the steering for you. All you need to do to park like an expert is manage the gearshift and pedals.

F IT TO GO ANYWHERE. FITS IN EVERYWHERE. The GLK’s engineers spent years traversing 1.5 million miles of punishing terrain, Arctic winters and African deserts to give it the rugged capability of a Mercedes -Benz SUV. But that didn’t stop them from making its cabin a most comforting habitat. Cleverly packaged within its easy-to-manage exterior dimensions is a flexibly accommodating space that’s outfitted in finely crafted luxury. Precisely stitched upholstery is hand-fitted to the 8‑way power front seats, and to the split rear seats that fold flat in a single motion. Burl Walnut wood trim is polished by hand to a rich, warm glow. A team of invisible valets supports the driver, adjusting the wipers to the rainfall, activating the headlamps in darkness, and scouring dust and pollen from the climate-controlled air. And a wide selection of options lets you tailor its luxury to fit your needs and wishes, from heated front seats to a household -type power outlet, and from supple leather to extended ambient interior lighting. Its agility, size and rigorous training have made the GLK physically fit. Its versatile, refined cabin makes it a perfect fit.
Attentive. The front seats offer 8‑way power adjustment plus a manual lumbar support for the driver. The steering column tilts and telescopes. With the optional Premium 1 Package, the driver seat adds a 3 ‑position memory system that also recalls the settings for the power-adjustable steering column and side mirrors, as well as a 4 -way power lumbar support. The Leather Package adds a memory system for the front passenger seat, multi- adjustable front head restraints, and fiber-optic LED ambient lighting from beneath the wood trim. Agreeable. Standard dual - zone automatic climate control allows the driver and front passenger to peacefully coexist in individualized comfort. To help assure more consistent comfort for everyone aboard, the system includes adjustable rear- cabin air vents, dust and pollen filtration, as well as a sensor that monitors the position and intensity of the sun. Adaptable. The 60/40 - split rear seatbacks fold to create up to 54.7 cu ft of cargo space18 — without needing to flip up the cushions first. The liftgate opens virtually level with the carpeted cargo floor, while a chrome load - sill plate helps protect the rear bumper. Luggage - area luxuries also include a 12‑ volt power port and a retractable cargo cover. With the Premium 1 Package, a power liftgate fully opens or closes with a touch of a button, to help make loading and unloading easier — especially when it’s raining or your arms are full. The package also adds a household-type 115- volt AC power outlet that lets you charge your laptop or camera, or plug in a portable gaming console, without using a special adapter. Approachable. Optional KEYLESS‑GO® lets you unlock your GLK and start its engine without taking the key from your pocket. For easier nighttime driving, auto- dimming inside and driver- side mirrors are part of the Premium 1 Package, along with a digital compass display in the inside mirror.

Preliminary 2013 EPA estimated fuel economy. See dealer for final figures. Compare the estimated mpg to the estimated mpg of other vehicles. You may get different mileage depending on how fast you drive, weather conditions and trip length. Your actual highway mileage will probably be less than the highway estimate.

No system, regardless of how advanced, can overcome the laws of physics or correct careless driving. Please always wear your seat belt. Performance is limited by available traction, which snow, ice and other conditions can affect. Always drive carefully, consistent with conditions. Best performance in snow is obtained with winter tires.

Driving while drowsy or distracted is dangerous and must be avoided. ATTENTION ASSIST® and/or 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. Lane Keeping Assist operates at speeds above approximately 20 mph.
7
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 sole substitute for driver awareness and checking of surrounding traffic conditions. Blind Spot Assist operates at speeds above approximately 20 mph.

Braking effectiveness also depends on proper brake maintenance, and tire and road conditions.
10 Read Operator’s Manual before towing. In some states, aftermarket trailer brakes are required. See dealer for details. 11 DISTRONIC PLUS® adaptive cruise control is no substitute for active driving involvement. It does not react to stationary objects, nor recognize or predict the curvature and lane layout of the road or the movement of vehicles 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 DISTRONIC Proximity Warning System before braking, as that may not afford sufficient time and distance to brake safely. After braking the car for stopped traffic ahead, system resumes automatically only if traffic pauses for less than 3 seconds. 12 WARNING: THE FORCES OF A DEPLOYING AIR BAG CAN CAUSE SERIOUS OR FATAL INJURIES TO A CHILD UNDER AGE 13. THE SAFEST SEATING POSITION FOR YOUR CHILD IS IN THE REAR SEAT, BELTED INTO AN APPROPRIATE, PROPERLY INSTALLED CHILD SEAT, OR CORRECTLY WEARING A SEAT BELT IF TOO LARGE FOR A CHILD SEAT. SEE OPERATOR’S MANUAL FOR ADDITIONAL WARNINGS AND INFORMATION ON AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS AND CHILD SEATS.

FOR A SMALL BLUE PLANET. For more than 125 years — longer than any other automaker — we’ve been sharing this planet with you. And for generations, Mercedes-Benz has been breaking new ground to help preserve the earth for future generations. We introduced the world’s first 100% CFC -free car, not just in its air conditioning but in its entire production process. We’ve used water-borne paint since the 1990s. And our cars have long used steam- expanded foam, sustainably forested wood, and natural products from coconut, flax and even olives. We’ve been pioneering advanced powertrains for generations, leading not just to today’s BlueEFFICIENCY gasoline, clean diesel and hybrid models, but to the electric and fuel cell vehicles of a tomorrow that’s already here. Mercedes-Benz is also legendary for making cars of exceptional durability. After all, it takes about the same energy to build a car that lasts as one that won’t. And along with award- winning factories and processes, we’re helping to develop local infrastructures around the world to help bring a greener future to life. Like every aspect of Mercedes-Benz innovation, today’s work sets the stage for the mobility — and the planet — that everyone will enjoy tomorrow.
