| 2008 2009 Mercedes Benz Slk Class |
| The EASY-PACK system is the Mercedes-Benz answer to the need for intelligent load compartment management, comprising a whole host of detail solutions which substantially enhance variability, practicality and safety in the new Estate. Highlights of the EASY-PACK system include a newly developed, split-folding rear bench seat which can be folded forwards in its entirety in just a few simple steps, thus creating a large, flat loading surface in the rear. The load compartment capacity is between 690 and 1950 litres (VDA measuring method), depending on how the rear seats are arranged. Assuming the stowage compartment in the spare wheel well is used, the new E-Class is capable of transporting up to 90 litres (15 percent) more than its predecessor. Another new innovation for estate cars, the hydraulically operated EASY-PACK load compartment floor (optional) can be moved backwards by 400 mm at the push of a button, thus making it easier to load and unload heavy objects. Mercedes-Benz has also developed a special EASY-PACK load securing kit (Fixkit) which allows separation of the load compartment according to requirements as well as safe securing of the load. The kit includes telescopic bar, retractable belt, four load securing rings and sliding fixing elements that lock into two aluminium
rails. |

 The chassis of The 2008 2009 Mercedes Benz Slk Class is based largely on the sophisticated axle systems that feature on the E-Class Saloon and ensure extremely high levels of safety, agility and comfort. The multi-link independent rear suspension is made entirely of aluminium and comes with level control fitted as standard. Unlike the previous hydropneumatic system, this self-levelling suspension is based on fully supporting air reservoirs which keep the vehicle at the same level, regardless of the vehicle load. In other words, the spring travel on the rear axle remains constant whatever the load, thus ensuring optimum ride comfort at all times. Three distinctive design and equipment lines - CLASSIC, ELEGANCE and AVANTGARDE - meet different customer requirements. Offering a generous amount of space that can be used in a variety of ways, as well as intelligent practicality, the can easily cope with a wide range of transport tasks, making it the ideal partner for work, travel, recreation, sport and shopping. |

2008 2009
Mercedes Benz Slk Class is dynamically elegant class that takes technological
exclusivity to the highest level. The standard specification includes a list of major milestones in automotive technology: Sensotronic Brake Control (SBC™) - the electrohydraulic brake system which now incorporates convenience functions such as Tailback Assist and Anti-stall Assist - as well as load-adaptive self-levelling rear suspension, adaptive front airbags, two-stage belt force limiters and large windowbags, to name just a handful of the 20-plus innovations that form part of the standard package. Among the highlights making their debut in The 2008 2009 Mercedes Benz Slk Class are the bi-xenon headlamps with Active Light System - which follow the movements of the steering wheel and thus substantially enhance the driver's range of vision when cornering - as well as the new EASY-PACK tailgate, complete with hydraulic drive system for easy opening and closing at the touch of a button.
