      Mercedes Benz 2012 SLK Class SLK350 Roadster 004 MT

      Electronic Stability Program (ESP®)

      This safety breakthrough first introduced by Mercedes-Benz continually monitors your driving inputs and the vehicle's motion to help keep it going in your intended direction, especially in corners and during evasive maneuvers. If it detects wheelspin, severe understeer (plowing), or oversteer (fishtailing), ESP can brake individual wheels and reduce engine power to help bring the vehicle under control. Disclaimer

      disclaimer1-5
      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.
    • Adaptive braking technology
      Mercedes Benz 2012 SLK Class SLK350 Roadster 005 MT

      Adaptive braking technology

      Powerful 4-wheel disc brakes feature a number of advances. If you lift off the accelerator quickly, Predictive Brake Priming sets the pads closer to the discs for more immediate response when you apply the brakes. In the rain, Automatic Brake Drying periodically applies the brakes just enough to sweep water build-up from the discs. During uphill starts, Hill-Start Assist helps prevent unwanted rollback. And a HOLD feature can make long red lights or stopped traffic a little easier. Disclaimer

      disclaimer1-6
      Braking effectiveness also depends on proper brake maintenance, and tire and road conditions.
    • Staggered-width wheels and tires
