SKY ABOVE. ROAD BELOW.
AND IN BETWEEN, ONLY THE TWO OF YOU.

Every car is created with a purpose in mind. For most, it is merely to transport you from one place to another. A sports car, however, is born to transform your spirit and shift your
state of mind. Nearly 60 years ago, Mercedes - Benz introduced a new kind of sports car — the coupe/roadster. With both a detachable hardtop and folding soft top, it was the first
convertible whose enthusiasm no longer waned with the fading summer sun. Four decades later, the first SLK reimagined that concept with its signature retractable hardtop, and it’s
repeatedly advanced what’s expected of a roadster ever since. For 2013, the SLK-Class reaffirms the purity of its purpose: To inspire a unique and intimate bond between you, the
winding road below and the blue sky above. And to demonstrate a deep affection for all three in its responsive performance, resplendent style, and respect for the environment. In
every measure of a sports car — from power to poise to passion — the SLK is engineered to transform what a roadster can be, while staying true to what it was always meant to be.

OPEN FOR PLEASURE.
An SLK wastes no time getting down to the business of driving enjoyment. In less than
20 seconds, its retractable hardtop — which comes in three varieties — whisks into the
trunk. Its three advanced Direct Injection engines — turbo-4, V-6 or AMG V-8 — respond
even more quickly. In a mere millisecond, they can tune their high- pressure fuel spray
with near-molecular precision, while rapid-multispark ignition fires up to four times in
sequence. Three slick-shifting transmissions — a 6-speed manual with the turbo-4, and
two types of paddle-shifted 7-speed automatic — let you turn every rev into a revelation,
to wield more torque with less fuel and fewer emissions. As soon as you open up an SLK,
you can instantly feel the three of you — driver, car and road — becoming one.
Close-ratio. For instant response
at any rpm, both the short-throw
6-speed manual gearbox in the
SLK 250 and the driver-adaptive
7-speed automatic offer a broad
range of ideally spaced gearing.
Along with ECO and Sport modes,
a true Manual mode and paddle
shifters let you shift the 7-speed
without taking a hand from the
thick 3- spoke steering wheel.
First-rate. For more rewarding
response from its speed- sensing
power steering, the innovative
Direct- steer system varies the
steering ratio based on how far
you turn the wheel. It quickens
response in corners, yet offers
precise on-center feel, inspiring
straight -line stability at higher
speeds, and easier steering effort
during lower - speed maneuvers.
Performance-rated. For more
tenacious grip under acceleration
without sacrificing crisp steering
feedback, the rear wheels and
tires of every SLK are a full inch
wider than the fronts. In addition
to the standard wheels, there are
numerous optional 18" designs —
including race- bred AMG wheels
for the SLK 250 and SLK 350 as
part of the Sport Package.3
SLK 250. A 201-hp 1.8 -liter turbo-4 teams up with either a 6-speed manual gearbox or paddle-shifted 7- speed
automatic to deliver 60 mph in a brisk 6.5 seconds,
1 along with equally refreshing efficiency of up to 33 mpg
highway.2 Staggered- width 17" 5 -spoke alloy wheels and tires team up with a nimble sport-tuned suspension.
SLK 350. An invigorating 302-hp V-6 is paired with a 7-speed automatic with paddle shifters and 18" 5 -spoke
wheels.3 With a new ECO Start/Stop system, it can reach 60 in 5.4 seconds1 or return up to 29 highway mpg.2
SLK 55 AMG. A handcrafted 5.5-liter AMG V -8 wields 415 hp with the finesse of a 7-speed AMG SPEEDSHIFT
transmission. AMG Cylinder Management and ECO Start/Stop can deactivate four or eight cylinders whenever
they’re not needed, for up to 28 highway mpg.2 Torque Vectoring Brake and 18" AMG wheels3 dig into corners.
Imagine winning the world’s first automobile race in 1894. Sweeping the 1914
French Grand Prix. Capturing the checkered flag in the legendary Silver Arrow.
Or pacing Formula 1™ in one of the many AMG models that have served as its
official Safety Car since 1996. Achieving any one of these would no doubt prove
inspiring. Accomplishing them all — that’s inspirational. True to its rich sporting
heritage, the 2013 SLK invokes its racing soul while evoking new passion for the
road ahead. Its iconic Star-and-crossblade grille, powerful hood and muscular
fenders blend classic roadster proportions with superior aerodynamics and a
supremely confident stance. And like the gullwing doors of the famed 300 SL,
the SLK has a signature of its own: its trendsetting folding roof, also available
with a tinted transparent panel or electronically variable tinted glass — a first
for a retractable hardtop. At the touch of a button, the glass roof turns clear
and every star in the sky becomes yours. But no matter how you configure your
SLK, every Star that’s ever crossed a finish line will be shining on you as well.
Acrobatic. A perpetual highlight of the SLK is
watching its power-operated hardtop somersault
into the trunk in under 20 seconds. The heated
rear window pivots as the car transforms from
sleek coupe to open-air roadster. This allows it to
“nest” with the trunklid, leaving more than 60% of
the 10-cubic-foot luggage space available when
you’re traveling with the top down. And with the
Premium 1 Package (standard on the SLK 350
and SLK 55 AMG), you can even operate the roof
from outside the car, via the SmartKey remote.
Scenic. With a see-through panel of UV-blocking,
high-strength tinted polycarbonate, the Panorama
roof option offers a view of the sky as you enjoy
the comfort of a closed coupe. It power-folds into
the trunk just as compactly as the standard roof.
Magic. A Mercedes -Benz exclusive, optional
MAGIC SKY CONTROL is an innovative evolution
of the Panorama roof concept. When electrical
current is applied, particles within the glass panel
line up, allowing light to pass. Switch it off and
the particles scatter randomly, blocking light. In
its darkened state, the thermal energy entering
the cabin on a sunny day is less than that of a
household light bulb. And even in the transparent
setting, the glass effectively blocks both UV and
infrared rays, helping to keep the cabin cooler.
Athletic. The Sport Package adds further muscle
to the SLK 250 and SLK 350. Along with 18" AMG
wheels,3 this option adds an aggressive front air
dam with bold mesh air intakes, chiseled side sills
and rear valance, as well as darkened headlamps.
ABOVE AND BEYOND.
WITH A SOUL THAT TRACES TO HISTORY’S FIRST FINISH LINE,
AN SLK-CLASS CELEBRATES ITS LEGACY BY ACCELERATING IT.
Look at the list of safety features in most any car today, and you’ll see the history of Mercedes-Benz. That’s because our engineers
have been leading the way in safety for more than 60 years, with the first crumple zone among many thousands of patents. Over the
decades, they’ve 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. The engineering depth of the 2013 SLK-Class
not only helps it to perform better in a collision, it helps it perform better, period. Its exceptionally rigid body is welded from stronger,
lighter materials like ultra -high-strength steel, aluminum and magnesium. Its brakes intelligently respond to how the driver uses the
throttle and the windshield wipers. It watches for signs of driver drowsiness. And its advanced restraint systems and dual roll bars are
designed to keep their guard up even when the top is down. In situations where every second matters, so does every safety first.
S TRONG AND STEADY. THROUGH THICK AND THIN.
SLK 250 shown with optional Iridium Silver metallic paint, PARKTRONIC, and Lighting, Premium 1 and Sport Packages. Please see endnotes at back of brochure.
OBSERVE
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 in the first minutes of each drive, to establish a
pattern and determine the warning thresholds accordingly.4
LED lighting. Brilliant white LED Daytime Running Lamps and LED
taillamps help make your presence and your actions more immediately
apparent to other drivers on the road. For the brake lamps, the light-
emitting diodes illuminate more rapidly than conventional bulbs — a
benefit that can offer added reaction time to a driver behind your SLK.
Bi-Xenon headlamps. With the available Lighting Package, Bi-Xenon
headlamps generate light that’s perceived more like natural daylight than
with halogen lamps. Active Curve Illumination swivels their beams as you
turn the steering wheel, to improve illumination into corners up to 90%
over fixed lamps. New for 2013, Adaptive Highbeam Assist continually
varies the beams of the Bi-Xenon lamps to put the most light on the road
ahead without causing glare for other drivers. The package also includes
headlamp washers, to help keep the lamps cleaner in poor weather.
SUPPORT
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 less stressful.5
Dual roll bars. While the brushed aluminum trim of the signature dual
roll bars makes a strong style statement, what lies beneath speaks most
eloquently in the unlikely event of a rollover. Micro-alloy tubular steel is
fiber-reinforced for added strength, and affixed to a rigid rear bulkhead.6
Body structure. Mercedes -Benz bodies have long been renowned as
benchmarks of rigidity and advanced crash management. The SLK-Class
carries these lofty standards forward without the burden of excessive
weight. Advanced materials are widely used, including high-strength and
ultra- high-strength steel for critical reinforcements, magnesium for the
hardtop frame, and aluminum for the front fenders and the hood.
PROTECT
Eight air bags. A suite of standard air bags offers advanced protection.7
Driver and passenger knee air bags supplement the dual-stage front air
bags. Dual torso-level side- impact air bags are each complemented by
head-level air bags that are designed to offer protection even when the
power hardtop and side windows are fully retracted.
Seat belts and head restraints. Still perhaps the most important safety
feature in any car, the 3-point seat belts in every SLK feature Emergency
Tensioning Devices (ETDs) to help remove some slack from the belts in
a collision exceeding a preset threshold. Belt-force limiters help reduce
the peak loads on a belted occupant during an impact. And NECK-PRO
active head restraints instantly move upward and slightly forward in
certain rear impacts, to help prevent or minimize whiplash- type injuries.
Post-collision response. If an air bag or ETD deploys, the standard
Mercedes- Benz mbrace2™ system’s Automatic Collision Notification
can initiate a call to our 24-hour emergency response center — even
if you cannot.8 After a collision, the SLK can also automatically shut
off its engine and fuel supply, unlock its doors, switch on the hazard
flashers, and illuminate some interior lights.
As fashionable as Mercedes-Benz sports cars have always been, their functional
virtues are why their instant appeal grows with every mile. Deeply contoured twin
power seats hold you close, while the spacious cockpit sets you free to enjoy its
advanced luxuries and wind-taming innovations. The console’s intuitive central
controller unifies an abundance of useful, user- friendly technology — including the
new in-car Internet features available with the Mercedes -Benz mbrace2™ system.8
Cabin air is filtered for dust and pollen before it flows from classic round vents.
Wrapped in Premium leather, the flat-bottom multifunction sport steering wheel
puts numerous features, including hands-free Bluetooth® with audio streaming,9 as
close as your thumbs. And the available AIRSCARF neck-level heating system can
turn a chilly evening or autumn day into perfect top-down driving weather.

OUTFITTED
Ensconcing. The heated10 8-way power sport
seats are equipped with 4-way power lumbar and
a 3- position memory that includes the driver’s
settings for the steering column and side mirrors.
Both mirrors are also heated and power-folding.
The SmartKey remote can lock the cabin storage
compartments, or operate the hardtop10 from
outside. Optional KEYLESS- GO lets you unlock
and drive your SLK with the key in your pocket.
Enchanting. Sleek aluminum trim highlights the
controls, instruments, air vents and dual roll bars,
as well as the center console and doors. Stylish
options include dramatic Black Ash wood for the
console and doors, or a Trim Package with warm
Burl Walnut wood further extending to the steering
wheel and gearshift. The seats and door armrests
are impeccably double -stitched with contrasting
thread. Rich leather10 or supple Premium leather11
upholstery is hand-fitted and specially treated to
help fend off heat and sun damage. And as part
of the optional Sport Package, Solar Red direct
ambient lighting11 outlines the console and doors.
Embracing. Innovative comforts transcend the
seasons. With AIRSCARF,10 warmed air emanates
from beneath each head restraint, with three heat
settings and speed-sensing airflow. A rigid mesh
wind deflector snaps in between the roll bars, or
you can opt for AIRGUIDE — a pair of transparent
windstops that manually pivot from each roll bar.
Encompassing. The central controller and 5.8"
color-LCD screen12 unite a world of entertainment,
navigation, and personalized vehicle settings. The
standard audio gear includes USB and AUX inputs
and HD Radio™ stations. The Premium 1 Package10
adds SiriusXM Radio with 6 months of service,
13
an iPod®
/MP3 Media Interface,
14 and 500 watts
of harman/kardon LOGIC7® surround sound.
And the Multimedia Package adds a 6- disc DVD/
CD player and SD card reader, plus navigation15
with a fast 80GB hard drive (including a 10GB
Music Register for your digital music), a 7" screen
with 3D maps, SiriusXM Traffic and Weather, and
Enhanced Voice Control that lets you operate
these features with your normal speaking voice.

The heart of an SLK 55 AMG Roadster is its engine — a work of modern art crafted by the hands of its own master engine builder, and crowned by a plaque bearing his signature.
The soul of AMG traces to an old German mill in 1967, where two former Mercedes-Benz engineers set out to handcraft champion racecars. Success on the track inspired them
to apply their unique performance pedigree to streetgoing Mercedes-Benz models. More than 45 years later, virtually every facet of design and development — from transmissions,
suspensions and brakes to the distinctive cockpit appointments — remains a seamless alignment of hands-on experience and high-performance engineering. More than a motto,
“One man, one engine” is a guiding principle in creating an automobile that can satisfy both the highest demands of driving and the deepest desires of its driver.
The SLK 55 AMG Roadster. A handcrafted 5.5 -liter Direct
Injection V-8 generates 415 hp to deliver 0–60 mph in an
invigorating 4.5 seconds.1 And yet its ultralow emissions
and everyday fuel -efficiency2 are remarkably refreshing.
Along with light weight and low friction, the engine’s AMG
Cylinder Management and ECO Start/Stop system let it
shut down four cylinders — or all eight — when they’re not
needed, then reignite them in as little as 30 milliseconds.
Multiple modes. The quick response of its 7- speed AMG
SPEEDSHIFT transmission is enhanced by three selectable
shift modes and rev- matched downshifts. Silver paddle
shifters are ideally placed on an AMG sport steering wheel
with flattened top and bottom sections and perforated
side grips. Along with 3- stage ESP,
® the standard Torque
Vectoring Brake can assist vehicle rotation in corners, for
greater control, precision and driving confidence.
Race-bred wheels. Staggered-width 18" AMG 5-spoke
wheels3 offer an enticing view of the AMG brake hardware.
AMG Handling Package. Racing-inspired enhancements
elevate the performance character of the SLK 55 AMG.
Multispoke wheels — with shimmering Silver or menacing
Matte Black spokes — complement a performance-tuned
suspension. A performance steering wheel with DINAMICA
side grips, a limited-slip differential and a 174-mph top
speed limiter16 further bring its racing pedigree to life.
ONE MAN, ONE ENGINE. PERFORMANCE ART, SIGNED BY THE ARTIST.

ENDNOTES
1 Stated rates of acceleration are based upon manufacturer’s track results and may vary depending on model, environmental and
road surface conditions, driving style, elevation and vehicle load.
2 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.
3 Lower aspect ratio tires and accompanying wheels provide substantially increased treadwear, increased tire noise and reduced
ride comfort. Serious wheel and tire damage may occur if the vehicle is operated on rough or damaged road surfaces or
upon encountering road debris or obstacles. These tires are not designed for use on snow and ice. Winter tires mounted on
appropriately sized and approved wheels are recommended for driving in those conditions.
4 Driving while drowsy or distracted is dangerous and must be avoided. ATTENTION 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.
5 Braking effectiveness also depends on proper brake maintenance, and tire and road conditions.
6 The roll bar system is designed to enhance the level of rollover protection compared to a vehicle without one. No system,
regardless of how advanced, can eliminate the chance of injury in an accident. Please always wear your seat belt.
7 WARNING: THE FORCES OF A DEPLOYING AIR BAG CAN CAUSE SERIOUS OR FATAL INJURIES TO A CHILD UNDER AGE 13. SEE
OPERATOR’S MANUAL FOR ADDITIONAL WARNINGS AND INFORMATION ON AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS AND CHILD SEATS.

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 Direct Injection 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.
FOR A SMALL BLUE PLANET.
