Handcrafted AMG 5.5L biturbo V-8

With reduced displacement, numerous innovations and twin turbochargers, the advanced 5.5-liter V-8 of the SL63 AMG outputs a thunderous 530 hp @ 6,000 rpm and 590 lb-ft of torque @ 2,000-4,500 rpm. While it bears the signature of the single technician who lovingly assembled it by hand, it's a high-tech powerhouse. Its twin turbochargers spin up to 185,000 rpm to dramatically boost low-end torque. High-pressure Direct Injection microscopically fine-tunes the fuel spray while rapid-multispark ignition fires up to four times in a millisecond. Its 32 valves are driven by dual overhead camshafts that can precisely vary their timing by up to 40 degrees. Along with substantially improved efficiency and emissions, plus the everyday smoothness for which AMG engines are renowned, it also delivers 60 mph in a breathtaking 4.2 seconds.  

2013-SL-Class-SL63-AMG-Roadster-001_MT.jpg

7-speed AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT transmission

The 7-speed AMG SPEEDSHIFT MCT transmission features innovative multi-clutch technology for instant, efficient response to any driving situation. A wet startup clutch eliminates the power losses of a traditional torque converter, improving both performance and fuel consumption. Four driving modes can be selected on demand by the driver: "Controlled Efficiency" features a fuel-saving new ECO Start/Stop function. "Sport" mode raises the shift points and reduces shift times by 30%. And both a "Sport+" and paddle-shifted "Manual" mode offers lightning-quick 100-millisecond shifts and maintains the selected gear at full throttle or upon reaching the redline.  

2013-SL-Class-SL63-AMG-Roadster-002_MT.jpg

Aluminum shift paddles

A pair of aluminum paddles strategically positioned behind the upper steering-wheel spokes allows you to manually upshift and downshift the 7-speed automatic transmission with just a flick of your fingers.  

2013-SL-Class-SL63-AMG-Roadster-003_MT.jpg

ECO Start/Stop system

A fuel-saving new ECO Start/Stop system automatically shuts off the engine at stoplights and other idle situations. As soon as the driver lifts off the brake, the engine instantly restarts, for immediate acceleration response. The ECO Stop/Start system can also be shut off by the driver at any time.  

AMG-calibrated Active Body Control (ABC)

Arguably the most advanced suspension in production, ABC is a fully active suspension that ideally balances comfort and response in virtually every situation. A network of advanced sensors and electronically controlled hydraulics is designed to counteract the effects of roll, vibration, pitch, dive and squat during cornering, braking and acceleration. The AMG sport suspension endows ABC with exclusively developed AMG spring-struts specifically tailored for the demands of high-performance driving. A driver-selectable Sport mode effectively suppresses the body roll normally caused by quick handling maneuvers, for virtually flat handling.  

Optional

AMG Performance Suspension

An option whose benefits are most rewarding in the extremes of performance, the Active Body Control (ABC) is calibrated for even sharper response and even flatter cornering than the already exemplary standard configuration. In both of the driver-selectable suspension modes, the damping rates are firmer, reducing roll and enhancing both tire bite and overall stability in high-speed handling maneuvers.  

$1,500

AMG sport exhaust

The AMG sport exhaust system not only enhances performance but also generates the characteristic 8-cylinder sound. From the four polished-chrome tailpipes, an enticingly throaty rumble at idle crescendos to a fierce roar under acceleration and at higher revs, while the relaxed yet distinctive cruising note continually reminds you of the potential awaiting beneath the hood, and under your right foot. A tri-metallic coating in the catalytic converters helps them reach the peak of cleansing effectiveness more rapidly after a cold start, for more efficient emission control with superior long-term durability.  

2013-SL-Class-SL63-AMG-Roadster-006_MT.jpg

AMG DRIVE UNIT with E-SELECT

Perhaps the most enticing and intriguing set of controls in the SL63, the AMG DRIVE UNIT beckons from the center console. Its driver-oriented pushbutton controls enable the selection of individual settings for the 3-stage ESP®, the suspension setup and the AMG drive modes. A rotary control selects the mode for the MCT transmission. The distinctive centerpiece comes in the shape of the AMG E-SELECT selector lever embossed with the AMG crest, allowing the driver to shift directly between R, N and D with a gentle nudge, with each command carried out electronically. A brief tap of the "P" button is sufficient to activate the parking lock.  

Electromechanical steering with Direct-steer

Advanced, lightweight and highly efficient electromechanical power steering allows for more precise control of steering effort and feedback. Direct-steer automatically varies the steering ratio based on how far you turn the steering wheel. It provides quicker steering and lighter effort while parking while maintaining excellent directional stability and crisp feel at higher speeds.  

Torque Vectoring Brake

Standard Torque Vectoring Brake technology provides additional control and precision in turns via targeted rear-wheel braking. If the vehicle's Electronic Stability Program (ESP®) detects understeer while cornering, the system applies the brake to the inside rear wheel, temporarily shifting torque distribution in favor of the outside wheel. This causes the vehicle to gently pivot in compensation, putting it on a line of travel, or vector, better suited to the turn.  

2013-SL-Class-SL63-AMG-Roadster-009_MT.jpg

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)

AMG high-performance compound braking system

AMG high-performance brakes shed both speed and heat with remarkable power, thanks to perforated and internally ventilated compound discs at all four wheels. Front discs measure 15.4 inches and are grasped by Silver-painted 6-piston fixed-type calipers. Rear brakes are 14.2 inches in diameter and Silver-painted single-piston sliding calipers.   (Disclaimer)

2013-SL-Class-SL63-AMG-Roadster-009_MT.jpg

Optional

AMG Carbon-Ceramic braking system

Specially developed carbon-ceramic rotors and brake calipers are an optional fitment for reduced weight and excellent braking performance on the track. Gold-painted brake calipers provide the visual identification of "AMG Carbon Ceramic" logos. Made of a carbon-fiber-reinforced ceramic, the extremely hard discs increase service life, while enhancing durability under extreme heat and loads, for even shorter stopping distances and higher fade-resistance during high-performance driving. Featuring the same two-piece floating layout as the standard compound brakes, the ceramic discs are even larger up front (15.8 inches), with even higher total braking force. They're also 40 percent lighter, further reducing unsprung weight to enhance suspension and steering response.   (Disclaimer)

$12,625

2013-SL-Class-SL63-AMG-Roadster-012_MT.jpg

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)

2013-SL-Class-SL63-AMG-Roadster-009_MT.jpg

Antilock Braking System (ABS)

The Antilock Braking System (ABS) senses impending wheel lockup under heavy braking and pumps the front brakes individually or the rear brakes together. This intelligent system can pump the brakes as needed up to 30 times per second, to prevent lockup and preserve the driver's steering ability.   (Disclaimer)

2013-SL-Class-SL63-AMG-Roadster-009_MT.jpg

Optional

Increased engine output and top speed

Strategic enhancements to the components and engine management system of the AMG V-8 significantly boost its already substantial peak horsepower and torque to simply dominating levels of output: 557 hp and 664 lb-ft of net torque. The electronically limited top track speed is also raised to 186 mph.   (Disclaimer)

Available in AMG Performance Package

Optional

AMG limited-slip differential

Safety Expand All

There are only Optional features available for this category.

8-way air bag protection

The SL's sophisticated restraint system includes front air bags with dual deployment thresholds, as well as new head air bags, plus thorax side-impact air bags and knee bags for both driver and passenger.   (Disclaimer)

2013-SL-Class-SL63-AMG-Roadster-041_MT.jpg

NECK-PRO active head restraints

In the case of a rear impact exceeding a preset threshold, NECK-PRO head restraints move forward and slightly upward, reducing the distance between the head restraints and the heads of front-seat occupants. This action helps to reduce the possibility or severity of whiplash-type neck injuries.  

2013-SL-Class-SL63-AMG-Roadster-042_MT.jpg

PRE-SAFE®

Another Mercedes-Benz safety breakthrough, PRE-SAFE® is a predictive occupant-protection system that helps prepare for an accident in the critical moments before it occurs. If sensors detect certain vehicle movements that indicate that an accident is possible, PRE-SAFE takes action: Reversible electronic tensioners tighten the seat belts. The occupied passenger seat adjusts to a more favorable position for air-bag and seat-belt effectiveness, while both active head restraints adjust for optimum protection. If severe skidding indicates that a rollover is likely, PRE-SAFE closes the side windows. If no accident occurs, the seat-belt tensioners reverse, and you simply readjust your seat, open the windows and continue on your way.   (Disclaimer)

2013-SL-Class-SL63-AMG-Roadster-043_MT.jpg

Aluminum body structure

Engineered from road to roof not just as a convertible but as a genuine Mercedes-Benz, the SL-Class body structure enhances both its occupant protection and its precise handling. Composed vitually entirely from stamped, cast, chilled-cast, thermoformed and extruded aluminum, the body shell is nearly 300 lbs lighter than before yet is 20% higher in torsional rigidity. The only structural steel in the body comprises the windshield frame, and features high-strength "tube-in-tube" pillars for robust support with minimal vision obstruction.  

2013-SL-Class-SL63-AMG-Roadster-044_MT.jpg

Pop-up roll bars

In 1989, Mercedes-Benz pioneered the pop-up roll bar, a significant advancement in convertible safety. When sensors detect an impending rollover, the dual roll bars of the new SL deploy in just 0.3 seconds to help preserve and protect occupant space.   (Disclaimer)

3-point seat belts with Emergency Tensioning Devices (ETDs)

Equipped with Emergency Tensioning Devices (ETDs) and belt force limiters, 3-point seat belts are arguably our most important passive safety feature. If a collision exceeds a preset threshold, the ETDs instantly remove slack from the seat belts. Belt force limiters allow a slight amount of give in the seat belts and reduce the peak seat-belt forces on the occupant.  

ATTENTION ASSIST

The first system of its kind, ATTENTION ASSIST continuously monitors different parameters of driving behavior, and can automatically alert the driver with both visual and audible warnings if it detects signs of drowsiness on long trips.   (Disclaimer)

2013-SL-Class-SL63-AMG-Roadster-047_MT.jpg

Optional

DISTRONIC PLUS (with PRE-SAFE Brake)

This advanced, radar-based cruise control monitors the vehicle ahead and adjusts your speed to help maintain a chosen following distance. It can even bring the car to a halt if it senses stopped traffic, then resume automatically. Should the car ahead slow or stop suddenly, the PRE-SAFE Brake system can automatically engage up to 40% of available braking power and issue an audiovisual alarm. If you still haven't applied the brakes within 0.6 seconds of a calculated impact, it automatically engages 100% braking power.   (Disclaimer)

Available in Driver Assistance Package

2013-SL-Class-SL63-AMG-Roadster-048_MT.jpg

Optional

Active Blind Spot Assist

Corner-illuminating front lamps

To help you negotiate tight turns, corner-illuminating front lamps shine toward the inside of the turn. Activated by turning the steering wheel or using the turn signals at low speeds, they're particularly useful in parking structures, suburban neighborhoods or when turning into driveways.  

2013-SL-Class-SL63-AMG-Roadster-035_MT.jpg

LED Daytime Running Lamps and taillamps

Bright white LED Daytime Running Lamps help increase the visibility of your vehicle to oncoming traffic by illuminating front lights whenever the car is switched on. With long life and low energy consumption, the light-emitting diode (LED) lamps also add a distinctive high-tech styling touch. LED technology also delivers quicker illumination of the brake lamps. By offering drivers behind you more time to react, their stopping distance may be reduced by several feet, which could make a critical difference in a panic stop.  

Advanced Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS)

The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) can automatically detect a substantial loss of tire pressure in any wheel and alert the driver via a warning message in the multifunction display. The advanced TPMS can also display the numeric tire pressure for each mounted wheel.  

2013-SL-Class-SL63-AMG-Roadster-059_MT.jpg

Active multicontour seats feature adjustable lumbar supports, side bolsters and shoulder supports, for custom-tailored support. A massage feature helps prevent fatigue on longer drives, and offers settings ranging from gentle to more vigorous. Active side bolsters can be set to automatically increase lateral support in cornering maneuvers, or even in the event of a potential accident.  

Available in Premium 1 Package

Optional

Heated and Active Ventilated seats

Heated and Active Ventilated seats are a luxury you'll soon consider a necessity. Three levels of heating and cooling ventilation are offered. By gently circulating air through perforations in the seat and backrest, Active Ventilated seats help keep you cooler and your clothes dryer during warmer months. On cold or damp days, using both the ventilation and heating features together can circulate the seat heating more quickly, to help keep you warm and dry.

Chassis and Traction Control/Stability Systems

Chassis
AMG-calibrated Active Body Control (ABC)

Arguably the most advanced suspension in production, ABC is a fully active suspension that ideally balances comfort and response in virtually every situation. A network of advanced sensors and electronically controlled hydraulics is designed to counteract the effects of roll, vibration, pitch, dive and squat when cornering, braking and accelerating. The AMG sport suspension endows ABC with exclusively developed AMG spring-struts specifically tailored for the demands of high-performance driving. A driver-selectable Sport mode effectively suppresses the body roll normally caused by quick handling maneuvers, for uncannily flat handling.

Steering type

Rack-and-pinion with electromechanical power assist and Direct-steer

Turning circle

36.4 ft, curb to curb

Traction Control & Stability
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.[*4]

Brakes, Wheels, and Tires

Brakes
Brakes

15.4-in perforated and ventilated front discs with 6-piston fixed-type calipers
14.2-in ventilated rear discs with single-piston floating calipers[*5]

Antilock Braking System (ABS)

ABS senses impending wheel lockup under heavy braking and pumps the front brakes individually or the rear brakes together. This intelligent system can pump the brakes as needed up to 30 times per second, to prevent lockup and preserve the driver's steering ability.[*5]

Brake Assist

Brake Assist senses emergency braking via the speed at which the driver presses the brake pedal and immediately applies maximum available power boost. Brake Assist can potentially reduce the overall stopping distance by eliminating the delay caused by a common human tendency not to brake hard enough, soon enough. Letting up on the brake pedal releases Brake Assist.[*5]

Adaptive braking technology

Adaptive braking technology includes 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.[*5]

Wheels/Tires
Wheels

9.0x19-inch front / 10.0x19-inch rear AMG twin 5-spoke

Tires

255/35R19 front / 285/30R19 rear

Safety and Security Systems

Restraint Systems
mbrace Automatic Collision Notification

In the event that an air bag or Emergency Tensioning Device is activated, mbrace initiates a call to the Mercedes-Benz Emergency Response Center to notify them of the incident, and provide information on your vehicle and its location. A Customer Specialist will then attempt to make voice contact with you. If you request help, or do not respond, they will notify local emergency response services, and stay on the line until help arrives.[*6]

Head restraints

In the case of a rear impact exceeding a preset threshold, NECK-PRO head restraints move forward and slightly upward, reducing the distance between the head restraints and the heads of the occupants. This action helps to reduce the possibility or severity of whiplash-type neck injuries.

8-way air bag protection

The SL's sophisticated restraint system includes front air bags with dual deployment thresholds, as well as new head air bags, plus thorax side-impact air bags and knee bags for both driver and passenger.[*7]

Occupant Classification System (OCS)

OCS automatically turns the passenger's front air bag on or off and adjusts the air bag inflation rate based on the weight category determined by weight-sensor readings from the passenger seat.

Seat belts

If a collision exceeds a preset threshold, Emergency Tensioning evices (ETDs) instantly remove slack from the seat belts. Belt force limiters allow a slight amount of give in the seat belts and reduce the peak seat-belt forces on the occupant.

Locking & Security
SmartKey

The SmartKey remote control integrates remote door locks and trunk opener, a removable valet key, and a remote panic alarm. You may selectively unlock only the driver's door and fuel filler, or both doors plus the trunk and fuel filler.

Locator lighting

Locator lighting uses the car's lights to help illuminate a return path when the car is remote-unlocked in darkness. Unlocking the car also activates the illuminated entry system.

Emergency trunk opener

An emergency release lever is located inside the trunk and illuminated for 60 minutes after the trunk lid is closed.

Antitheft alarm system

The standard antitheft alarm system is armed automatically when you lock your Mercedes from the outside. It sounds the horn and flashes the exterior lights if a door, the trunk or the hood is opened without first unlocking the vehicle. You can also sound the alarm by pressing the red "panic" button on your SmartKey remote when you're within range of your vehicle.

Overview

Keep It Genuine with Mercedes-Benz Service and Parts

Superior performance, exquisite style, and cutting-edge technology are what you expect from Mercedes- Benz. For as long as you drive your vehicle, our commitment to you continues with world-class Mercedes- Benz service, parts and accessories.

Vehicle maintenance and occasional repairs due to wear or accidents are a fact of vehicle ownership. Why is it best to always service your vehicle at an authorized Mercedes-Benz dealership?

Certified Mercedes-Benz Technicians are required to participate in ongoing training, assuring that they master the use of state-of-the-art diagnostics, tools, and equipment to properly repair your Mercedes-Benz.

Genuine Mercedes-Benz replacement parts and accessories installed by certified technicians preserve the performance and integrity of your vehicle. As well, keeping it genuine with Mercedes-Benz parts will help maintain your vehicle's residual value.

When you visit your local Mercedes-Benz dealership, their service staff can perform a detailed, multi-point inspection to address your concerns and maintain your vehicle's performance and appearance.

No one understands and cares for your Mercedes Benz better than Mercedes-Benz.

Prepaid Maintenance

No one can maintain a Mercedes-Benz like Mercedes-Benz

  • It's the simple and convenient way to prepay for required services, so you'll know that critical maintenance needs are taken care of right from the start.
  • Mercedes-Benz Star Service Pre-Paid Maintenance allows you to lock in the costs of these required services before your first service visit or 10,000 miles, whichever comes first.- So you'll have the convenience of paying for maintenance in advance.
  • Save up to 30% versus "purchasing maintenance as you go* "
  • Plus, purchasing a Mercedes-Benz Star Service Pre-Paid Maintenance plan does not confine you to only one dealership for your service needs. The plan follows you, so if you require service when you're on the road - or if you relocate - your plan will be honored at any authorized participating Mercedes-Benz dealer.



Overview

It's extremely important for the long-term health of your Mercedes-Benz, and the safety of you and your passengers, that you have your Mercedes-Benz serviced according to its regular maintenance intervals. Check your maintenance manual or consult your authorized Mercedes-Benz Dealer for specific maintenance requirements and recommendation.

For all Mercedes-Benz vehicles we recommend using an authorized Mercedes-Benz Dealer for your service needs. At a Mercedes-Benz Dealership you will get the most up-to-date expertise on the components that keep you safe on the road, like the braking and electrical systems, fluid levels, right down to the condition of your tires — which are your connections to the road.

Required Vehicle Maintenance starting with Model Year 2009

As of model year 2009, Mercedes-Benz vehicles follow a maintenance schedule of 10,000-mile or 12-month intervals, whichever occurs first. Required maintenance is the routine service necessary to keep your vehicle in peak operating condition, and to help avoid damage to your vehicle. For all other model years, refer to your maintenance manual for specific maintenance schedule information.

When you take your Mercedes-Benz to an authorized Mercedes-Benz Dealer for routine maintenance, our technicians use specialized tools, instruments, technical literature, Genuine Mercedes-Benz Parts, and unmatched technical training to service your vehicle. They follow your maintenance manual in detail to ensure that everything is checked on schedule.
Your Mercedes-Benz Maintenance Booklet specifies exactly what services your Mercedes-Benz technician will perform at each routine service visit.

Recommended Maintenance for Model Year 2009 and newer

In addition to regular required maintenance, recommended service work is intended to provide you with the flexibility to choose the additional maintenance work performed on your vehicle, based on its needs or recommendations from your authorized Mercedes-Benz Dealer.

Beyond any specific recommendations you receive from your Mercedes-Benz technician, you should check the following items regularly and prior to any long trip:

  • Engine oil level
  • Coolant level
  • Brake system fluid level (If brake fluid needs to be added, see an authorized Mercedes-Benz Dealer to determine the cause.)
  • Windshield washing system (Add washer fluid mixed with Mercedes-Benz windshield washer solvent/concentrate, test function, and check wiper blades.)
  • Tire pressure (Check at least every other week.)


If applicable to your vehicle's configuration, tire rotation should be performed in accordance with the recommended intervals, or sooner at the first signs of irregular (uneven) tread wear. A tire inspection will help determine the need for a tire rotation which may occur at least once between regular Mercedes-Benz maintenance intervals. Check with your authorized Mercedes-Benz Dealership for specific recommendations.

The first rotation inspection occurring at an authorized Mercedes-Benz Dealership at any time up to 5,000 miles is provided at no charge.*


The required maintenance intervals have been determined based on normal operating conditions. Any severe operating conditions may call for more frequent replacement of items such as interior filters, spark plugs, coolant, tires, etc. Checking these items regularly and bringing your vehicle in for service appointments earlier than required, if necessary, will help keep your Mercedes-Benz in top condition.

* In accordance with or as otherwise recommended by your tire manufacturer's instructions. Rotation applies only to vehicles without staggered-width tires. Vehicles with staggered-width tires require inspection instead of rotation. Tires should be rotated/inspected at least once between each service visit. See your Service Manager for details regarding your vehicle's tires.

Your Mercedes-Benz Maintenance Booklet specifies exactly what services your Mercedes-Benz technician will perform at each routine service visit.

Mercedes-Benz Star Service Pre-Paid Maintenance

A smart decision now. No surprises later.

It's the simple and convenient way to prepay for required services, so you'll know that critical maintenance needs are taken care of right from the start.

Mercedes-Benz Star Service Pre-Paid Maintenance allows you to "lock in" the costs for "required" services before your first service visit or 10,000 miles, whichever comes first. — And saves you money!

  • Save up to 30% versus "purchasing maintenance as you go*"
  • Potential increase in residual value if purchased with lease
  • Potential increase in resale value (you can prove you're properly maintaining your vehicle according to manufacturer's recommendations)
  • The convenience of having paid for maintenance in advance
  • Mercedes-Benz trained technicians using Genuine Mercedes-Benz Parts


Plus, purchasing a Mercedes-Benz Star Service Pre-Paid Maintenance plan does not confine you to only one dealership for your service needs. The plan follows you, so if you require service when you're on the road — or if you relocate — your plan will be honored at any authorized participating Mercedes-Benz dealer.

  • By purchasing an affordable Mercedes-Benz Star Service Pre-Paid Maintenance plan when you purchase your vehicle, you can build the cost into your monthly payment - giving you a lot more convenience for as little as $10/month. Or you can choose to prepay upfront or in monthly installments. The plan may be purchased at any time prior to your first service visit or 10,000 miles, whichever comes first.
  • here are several plan options to choose from designed to fit your specific model and individual driving needs; 2, 3, 4 or 5 year terms, and up to 50,000 total vehicle miles.
  • If your vehicle is not eligible for the Mercedes-Benz Star Service Prepaid Maintenance ask for the Mercedes-Benz Pre-Owned Prepaid Maintenance and receive the same benefits. The basic requirements are; your vehicle is a model year 2007 or newer and that it has less than 80,000 miles. (No residualization applies)
  • Contact your dealer about program details and eligibility or call us at 1-800-FOR-MERCEDES to learn more today.

With Extended Limited Warranty there's no complicated paperwork to process, no deductibles and no hassles.

provides vehicle coverage for another 12 months or up to 100,000 total accumulated miles, whichever comes first. For those Certified Pre-Owned vehicles no longer covered by the New Vehicle Warranty, the Mercedes-Benz Certified Pre-Owned Limited Warranty takes effect at the time of delivery. 

This coverage extends to include most of the major components of engine and powertrain, steering, suspension, brakes (excluding wear of discs and pads), electrical system, climate control system, and more. For specific coverage, please see your Mercedes-Benz Dealer for a copy of the Mercedes-Benz Certified Pre-Owned Limited Warranty.

  • 12-months, unlimited mileage
  • 24-months or 24,000 miles for transmissions
  • 48-months or 50,000 miles for engine and long blocks (same coverage as for a new Mercedes-Benz)

Disclaimer
*While the vehicle owner may elect to have repairs (collision damage repair or paint work) performed by any automotive body repair establishment or individual, damage or malfunctions caused by body repairs not performed in accordance with Mercedes-Benz specified repair procedures or otherwise not properly performed are not covered by the Mercedes-Benz New Vehicle Limited Warranty and may cause the car to not perform as originally designed in a subsequent collision to the repaired area.

Small Repairs

To own a Mercedes-Benz is to take pride in its timeless design and effortless style. But regardless of the care you take in maintaining the appearance of your vehicle, sometimes damage can´t be avoided. Whether it's a rock chip, a spill, a sharp object piercing the interior, a wheel making contact with the curb, or seasonal hazards like road grime or salt attacking your rims, Mercedes-Benz has the solution.

Your Mercedes-Benz Dealership or Certified Collision Center can offer minor repairs quickly, easily, and cost effectively, often while you wait.

Wheels

Few parts of your vehicle are as readily noticed as the alloy rims. Unfortunately, even the most stunning wheels are susceptible to damage.

If winter road salt or a bump against the curb has left your rims looking less than spectacular, your Mercedes-Benz dealership or Certified Collision Facility has the technology to make the finish look just like new at a fraction of the cost of a new rim. Please note that not all wheel damage can be repaired, depending on severity.

Sticks and Stones

When a stone makes contact with your windshield it can create significant appearance and safety implications, especially if left untreated. To avoid replacing the entire windshield, Mercedes-Benz Dealerships and Certified Collision Centers can fix cracks and stone chips quickly using resins to seal the glass, and polish to take care of pitting.

Keep in mind that this system is only intended to repair minor problems outside of the driver´s field of vision, and is not meant to take care of an issue that has failed a state safety inspection program. Interior Repairs Leather or MB-Tex seating, polished wood trim, aluminum accents, ceiling fabric or carpet - they're all susceptible to daily wear and tear or surface contamination.

Minor scratches, blemishes, and other superficial damage to your vehicle´s interior can be repaired at your Mercedes-Benz Dealership or Certified Collision Facility, with the product expertise needed to determine the best repair tools and materials for the job.
