Info

For the first time, the tail lights with their pronounced horizontal emphasisare in all-LED technology. Their upper edge extends forward into the sides,harmoniously culminating in the feature line. A twin exhaust system withtrapezoidal tailpipes rounds off the muscular impression created by the rearview.Page 14High-grade materials and stylish sportinessThe new SLK is 31 millimetres longer and 33 millimetres wider than itspredecessor. With the most compact dimensions in its class, the new SLK hasan interior whose generous size is nonetheless exemplary. To achieve this, thedesigners have developed interior appointments which offer the driver andpassenger outstanding perceived value, purist precision and a real feel-goodambience. The interior in the base colour black is characterised by sportyrefinement, well thought-out ergonomics and high-quality, authentic materialswhich have been processed with painstaking attention to detail and skilledcraftsmanship. Even in the base version, the centre console and other trimparts gleam in brushed aluminium. Wood can be selected as an option in highglossdark brown walnut or high-gloss black ash.Echoing the exterior design, the black dashboard emphasises the horizontallines and therefore width of the vehicle. On request it is available in a two-tonecolour scheme and with a leather lining. Four round, galvanised air ventssimilar in form to those in the SLS are recessed into the dashboard,underlining the car's membership of the Mercedes-Benz sports car family andat the same time deliberately creating associations with the dynamism of jetaviation.Two large dial instruments – a speedometer and a rev counter – flank a displayfor the information generated by the online computer. The display menus canbe conveniently accessed by the driver using the control buttons on thesteering wheel, without taking his eyes off the road. The colour display for thecommunication and entertainment functions is housed in the centre of thedashboard, and can be easily read by both the driver and passenger. Acomfortably shaped controller on the centre armrest ensures safe and easyoperation.On the top of the dashboard, also in the centre, sits a fine analogue clock(optional), subtly underlining the roadster’s stylish character.Daimler Communications, 70546 Stuttgart/GermanyMercedes-Benz – A Daimler Brand
An easily handled (diameter 375 millimetres) multifunction sports steeringwheel with a flattened bottom section and a thick leather rim makes the highquality and sporty character of the new SLK a constant tactile experience.Metal trim on the spokes enhance the impression of both sportiness andrefinement. Shift paddles to perform upshifts and downshifts in the automatictransmission are available as an option. The interior can be enhanced evenfurther with a wood/leather steering wheel.Page 15The sweeping lines of the upper dashboard section are continued into the doorpanels. The door centre panel is colour-coordinated with the interior. The dooropeners and seat adjustment switches are trimmed in aluminium or wood.Sporty yet comfortable seatsThe sporty, ergonomic seats with adjustable, crash-responsive NECK-PRO headrestraints integrated into the backrests have high side bolsters for optimumlateral support and a high level of comfort on long journeys. Maximumoperating convenience and seating comfort is ensured by optional electricseat adjustment with a memory function and 4-way lumbar support.In the base version the new SLK is equipped with black fabric seats. There isalso a choice of:• embossed leather in black, sahara beige or crystal grey,• nappa leather in black, bengal red or moccha/nut brown, or• Exclusive nappa leather – in this case the upper dashboard sectionand the doors are lined with black nappa leather.All leather and nappa leather seats are upholstered with leather whichnoticeably reduces heat build-up. The leather has a special coating whichreflects the sun's rays. Comparative measurements have shown that thisleather reduces the temperature of the seats by more than ten degreesCelsius – a significant improvement in comfort when the car has beenparked in the sun.As in the previous model, the neck-level heating system AIRSCARF is availableas an optional extra for the new SLK. This creates a flow of warm air aroundthe neck and shoulder areas of the occupants from a vent in the front of eachhead restraint.Daimler Communications, 70546 Stuttgart/GermanyMercedes-Benz – A Daimler Brand
