AIRSCARF neck-level heating system

Extend your top-down driving enjoyment further into a cool evening or later into the season with the optional AIRSCARF neck-level heating system. Vents beneath each head restraint deliver warmed airflow to your neck, head and shoulders, like a virtual scarf. With individual 3-stage temperature controls and airflow automatically adjusted to your driving speed, AIRSCARF means you don't have to put the top up just because the sun, or thermometer, has gone down.

Bi-Xenon headlamps with Active Curve Illumination

Bi-Xenon headlamps help deliver greater visibility than halogen headlamps because their brighter, whiter light is much closer to natural daylight. Active Curve Illumination helps you see better into corners at night, swiveling the headlamps as you steer to increase usable illumination by up to 90% over conventional fixed headlamps.

Leather upholstery

Supple, richly grained leather is hand-fitted to all seating surfaces. Contrasting double-stitched seams add to its sporty style. An innovative treatment also helps the leather fend off heat and the ravages of sun exposure.

6-speed manual transmission

The 6-speed manual transmission in the SLK250 is designed to ensure an even sportier edge to your driving. Beneath the contoured shift knob is a short-throw shifter with a precise direct-action rod-type linkage for quicker, more decisive gear changes.

Rubber-studded aluminum pedals

Brushed aluminum pedals with rubber studs offer confident footwork with high-performance style.

10GB Music Register

Music Register allows you to store up to 10GB of your own digital music on the in-dash hard drive. It lets you copy songs from your CDs and DVDs and save them to your vehicle's audio system, so you can listen to them anytime and anywhere you drive.

Lighting Package

Lighting innovations that are truly brilliant:

• Bi-Xenon headlamps with Active Curve Illumination
• Headlamp washing system

Central controller with 5.8-inch LCD screen

Located on the console where the driver's right hand naturally falls, this large control dial puts multiple functions at your fingertips, providing easy, convenient operation of the car's audio, communication and optional navigation systems. A crisp, clear 5.8-inch LCD screen shows audio system information at a glance, and adjusts automatically to ambient light for clear reading with the top down or at night.

Panorama roof

The Panorama roof opens up a whole new look, inside and out. Occupants enjoy an expansive view of the sky through a panel of heat-reflecting polycarbonate. The entire roof disappears in to the trunk with a single button, exactly like the SLK's standard retractable hardtop

7-speed automatic transmission

The industry's first 7-speed automatic has been made even smoother, more responsive and more efficient. A wide range of closely spaced gear ratios delivers the ideal response in virtually every driving situation, for relaxed cruising, quick acceleration, and thanks to two overdrive ratios, better highway fuel efficiency. Adaptive logic adjusts the shift points to match your driving style, while paddle shifters on the steering wheel and a true manual mode let you take charge for yourself anytime.

SiriusXM Radio

SiriusXM Traffic keeps you up to date on accidents, traffic, construction and road closures, and even helps the optional navigation system divert you around traffic. New SiriusXM Weather delivers detailed, graphical weather reports and forecasts.

LED Daytime Running Lamps

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.

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.

Panorama roof with MAGIC SKY CONTROL

An SLK-Class first, this innovative evolution of the Panorama roof concept alters the transparency of the roof when electrical current is applied. At its darkest setting, the thermal energy entering the cabin is less than a household light bulb. And even in its fully transparent mode, both UV and infrared rays are effectively blocked, helping keep the cabin cooler.

18-inch AMG-spoke alloy wheels

A major highlight of the optional Sport Package is its 18-inch AMG alloy wheels. Five tapered spokes each feature a geometric pocket surrounding the lugs, for a aggressive look even standing still. Staggered in width, the rear wheels and high-performance tires are wider than the fronts, for greater acceleration grip without sacrificing crisp steering feedback.

Heated seats

Electrically heated seats quickly take the chill out of even the coldest day. Three levels of warming automatically step down after several minutes to the lowest setting.

Aluminum interior trim

Crisp, modern aluminum trim on the console and doors adds to the modern style and performance feel of the SLK.

SiriusXM Traffic and Weather

SiriusXM Traffic keeps you up to date on accidents, traffic, construction and road closures, and even helps the optional navigation system divert you around traffic. New SiriusXM Weather delivers detailed, graphical weather reports and forecasts.

harman/kardon surround-sound system

Specifically engineered for the SLK-Class, this premium digital sound system fills the cabin with 500 watts of beautifully balanced audio. No fewer than 11 strategically placed speakers deliver an immersive listening experience. Digital Dynamic Volume Control impeccably and imperceptibly maintains the sound spectrum for consistent listening pleasure in varying driving conditions.

Sport-Package

Style and substance, inside and out:

• Sport body styling
• 18" AMG 5-spoke wheels with high-performance tires
• Solar Red direct ambient lighting

Multimedia Package

Advanced technology that's intuitively easy to enjoy:

• COMAND system with 80GB hard-drive navigation
• 7-inch high-resolution LCD screen with 3D map views
• Enhanced Voice Control system
• 10GB Music Register
• 6-disc in-dash DVD/CD changer
• SD card reader
• Gracenote media databse with album-cover art
• SiriusXM Traffic and SiriusXM Weather

Sport-tuned suspension

The sport suspension of the SLK features firmer coil springs and shock absorbers as well as a lowered ride height, for sharper handling response and a more aggressive stance.

HD Radio™ receiver

Delivering remarkably clear audio that gives AM stations the crispness of FM radio, and FM stations CD-grade sound, HDRadio™ also offers a larger bandwidth that can actually increase the number of stations available to you.

MP3 Media Interface

The MP3 Media Interface turns your Mercedes-Benz into an extension of your iPod® or compatible electronic device. Browse, select and play your musical accompaniment of choice using steering-wheel, COMAND-system or stereo controls.

Trim Package

The classic feel of hand-polished wood:

• Burl Walnut wood trim on console and doors
• Wood/leather steering wheel and shift knob

Multifunction 3-spoke sport steering wheel

The thick, leather-wrapped steering wheel features a racing-inpired flat-bottom design. For fingertip access to some of the vehicle functions you use most often, convenient buttons on the steering wheel let you control the audio volume and selection, send and end calls on your Bluetooth-enabled phone, and scroll through the features of the multifunction display in the instrument cluster.

18-inch 5-spoke alloy wheels

The standard 18-inch alloy wheels feature five spokes with a dynamic twist effect and a luminous silver finish. Staggered in width, the rear wheels and high-performance tires are wider than the fronts, for greater acceleration grip without sacrificing crisp steering feedback.

8 air bags

The SLK'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.

MB-Tex upholstery

MB-Tex upholstery offers a rich appearance and supple leather-like feel, even in cold weather. It also offers legendary durability and easy care. Contrasting double top-stitching enhances the sporty, tailored appearance of the SLK cockpit.

6-disc DVD/CD changer

A single-slot system, the in-dash 6-disc changer plays audio CDs and DVDs. You can even watch a DVD movie while the vehicle is in Park.

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 occupants. This action helps to reduce the possibility or severity of whiplash-type neck injuries.

ATTENTION ASSIST driver-drowsiness monitor

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.

Premium 1 Package

Premium luxuries you'll soon consider must-haves:

• Heated seats
• iPod®/MP3 Media Interface
• SiriusXM Satellite Radio
•harman/kardon surround-sound system
• AIRSCARF neck-level heating system
• Infrared-remote hardtop operation

Hard-drive navigation

Using a fast 80GB hard drive to store maps, points of interest and even Zagat® Survey ratings for restaurants, hotels and golf courses, this virtual copilot offers detailed driving directions with a friendly voice. The 7-inch LCD widescreen displays your route with new 3D maps of building profiles and elevations, plus gas stations, ATMs, Mercedes-Benz dealerships and even scenic routes. Data for the contiguous U.S., Canada and Oahu, Hawaii are standard, with periodic updates available at your authorized Mercedes-Benz dealer.

8-way power seats with memory

Contoured sport seats power-adjust for reach, front and rear cushion height, and recline. For long-term comfort and lower-back support, each seat offers a lumbar support that precisely adjusts in/out in and up/down. A memory system for the driver seat recalls three stored positions for the seat plus the power steering column and side mirrors.

Burl Walnut wood interior trim

With the optional Trim Package, rich hand-polished Burl Walnut wood graces the steering wheel, shift knob, center console and doors, lending the cockpit the refined ambience of a classic sports car.

Infrared-remote hardtop operation

Lower or raise the top with the SmartKey remote from outside the car.

Direct-steer system

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 feedback at higher speeds.

8-speaker audio system

The standard AM/FM/weatherband audio system includes eight strategically located speakers, an in-dash CD player with MP3 capability, and convenient auxiliary audio controls on the steering wheel.

17-inch 5-spoke alloy wheels

The standard 17-inch alloy wheels feature five thin, tapered spokes with a luminous silver finish. Staggered in width, the rear wheels and high-performance tires are wider than the fronts, for greater acceleration grip without sacrificing crisp steering feedback.

Bluetooth audio streaming

Bluetooth audio streaming makes it even easier to enjoy your digital music player. It allows you to connect your Bluetooth-equipped iPod® or other MP3 player wirelessly to your vehicle's audio system for convenient, cable-free playback.

* Excludes all options, taxes, title, registration, $905 transportation charge, and dealer prep fee.
