SL 550 shown with Palladium Silver metallic paint and optional Wheel Package. Please see endnotes at back of brochure.
Incomparable engineering. Incurably enchanting.
Thoughtful innovation comes from thinking ahead.
As much fun as the SL-Class brings to an open road on a sunny day, its advanced engineering helps you feel
confident and cared-for in moments of darkness or duress. The brakes automatically act to keep their discs dry in the rain, and pre-charge for faster reaction if you lift off
the gas quickly. A pop-up roll bar — an SL innovation — deploys in 0.3 seconds should it sense an imminent rollover.

If any of its five air bags deploy,

its new Mercedes-Benz
mbrace
™
system can call for help. With mbrace, new worlds of security and convenience await you. Like using Google Maps
™
to send destinations from your home computer
to your car’s navigation system. Or locking and unlocking your doors with your smartphone.

Engineered to protect you, the SL-Class is equally devoted to pleasing you.
Enlightening.
The SL’s standard Bi-Xenon headlamps
incorporate Active Curve Illumination, which swivels
the beams according to your driving speed and steering
angle. They increase usable illumination of curving
roads by up to 90% over conventional fixed headlamps.
Transforming.
The SL converts from secure hardtop
coupe to freedom-loving open roadster in 16 seconds,
using either a console-mounted switch or a button on
the SmartKey remote. The rear window pivots 180° to
help preserve usable trunk space with the top stowed.
Pacesetting.
Optional DISTRONIC adaptive cruise
control actively monitors your following distance from
the vehicle ahead of you. Originally pioneered by
Mercedes-Benz, it can automatically apply the brakes
and resume your preset speed when traffic opens up.
