Mercedes-Benz SLK R170 Operator's Manual | PDF

A model-specific owner's manual for the Mercedes-Benz SLK 230 Kompressor and SLK 320 from the first generation of the compact SLK roadster.

Introduced in 1996, the Mercedes-Benz SLK R170 combined the dimensions of a compact sports car with an innovative electrohydraulic retractable hardtop. This system transformed the car from a coupé into a convertible and became one of the model's most distinctive features. The first generation remained in production until 2004 and established the SLK within the Mercedes-Benz sports car range.

This Operator's Manual helps owners understand the operation of the SLK 230 Kompressor and SLK 320, locate their main controls and correctly use the safety, comfort and driving equipment. Clear explanations and illustrations make it a practical reference when the original printed manual is no longer available.
