Preface - Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Service Manual

Dear Reader,
This Introduction into Service Manual presents the
new SLS AMG Coupe in model series 197.
The purpose of this brochure is to acquaint you with
the technical highlights of this new vehicle in advance
of its market launch. This brochure is intended to
provide information for people employed in service,
maintenance and repair as well as for aftersales staff.
It is assumed here that the reader is already familiar
with the Mercedes-Benz model series currently on the
market.
In terms of the contents, the emphasis in this Intro-
duction into Service Manual is on presenting new and
modified components and systems.
This Introduction into Service Manual is not intended
as an aid for repairs or for the diagnosis of technical
problems. For such needs, more extensive information
is available in the Workshop Information System (WIS)
and via Xentry Diagnostics.
– This printout will not be recorded by the update service. Status: 11 / 2009 –
WIS is updated continuously. Therefore, the informa-
tion available there reflects the latest technical status
of our vehicles.
The Introduction into Service manual presents initial
information relating to the SLS AMG model and, as
such, is not stored in WIS. The contents of this
brochure are not updated. No provision is made for
supplements.
We will publicize modifications and new features as
well as detailed descriptions of systems and their
components in the relevant WIS documents. The infor-
mation presented in this Introduction into Service
Manual may therefore differ from the more up-to-date
information found in WIS.
All information relating to technical data, equipment
and options is valid as of the copy deadline in October
2009 and may therefore differ from the current
production configuration.
