This is a link which open to various documents indicating how best to remove people from a damaged Mercedes. In particular it deals with how to dismantle the car at its designated cutting points.

Makes for interesting reading given that both the strength of the car is engineered and also the weak points for external cutting.

Notice from the W216 CL the indicator showing the mix of metals used to form the body.

Thanks very much indeed for a most informative link. Page 12 onwards gives interesting information about dealing with fires etc.

Thanks again,
