1995 Mercedes-Benz SL320 SL500 SL600 R129 Owners Manual

Important!
To prevent the engine from laboring at
low RPMs, do not allow the engine
speed to drop too low on uphill
gradients.
Stopping
The delayed upshift is effective with
vehicle speeds below 31 mph (50
km/h) at partial throttle and engine
temperatures below 95°F (35°C).
For brief stops, e.g. at traffic lights,
leave the transmission in gear and hold
vehicle with the service brake.
Depending on the degree of the incline,
shift selector lever to a lower gear
range early enough to maintain engine
RPM within the best torque range.
For longer stops with the engine idling,
shift into "N" or "P".
To avoid overrevving the engine when
the selector lever is moved to a lower
driving range, the transmission will not
shift to a lower gear as long as the
vehicle speed exceeds the speed limit
of that gear.
When stopping the car on an uphill
incline, do not hold it with the
accelerator, use the brake. This avoids
unnecessary transmission heat build
up.
Maneuvering
To maneuver in tight areas, e.g. when
pulling into parking space, control the
car speed by gradually releasing the
brakes. Accelerate gently and never
abruptly step on the accelerator.
Warning!
Warning!
On slippery road surfaces, never
downshift in order to obtain
braking action. This could result in
rear wheel slip and reduced vehicle
control. Your vehicle's ABS will not
prevent this type of loss of control.
Getting out of your car with the
selector lever not fully engaged in
position "P" is dangerous. When
parked on a steep incline, position
"P" alone may not prevent your
vehicle from moving, possibly
hitting people or objects.
To rock a car out of soft ground (mud
or snow), alternately shift from
forward to reverse, while applying
slight partial throttle.
Rocking a car free in this manner may
cause the ABS malfunction indicator
lamp to come on. Turn off and restart
the engine to clear the malfunction
indication.
Always set the parking brake in
addition to shifting to position "P".
When parked on an incline, also
turn front wheel against curb.

Richard Conrad on Apr 17, 2016. Great resource

This is a great resource for anyone who owns one of these vehicles. Thank you!

My owner's manual has been damaged and unreadable in certain areas. This was a tremendous resource!

This cat is awesome. I love how sturdy the body is while making turns or passing through man holes. This is the type of car body I know will save my life in accidents. My other Benz a C320 saved my spouse's life before it was totaled. An inconsiderate, mindless driver who was trying to beat a red light hit my Benz. God Bless my spouse only suffered a contusion & lacerations on his left arm. If you saw my Benz uou will be amazed how little injuries my spouse suffered. My current SL500 is actually the teplacementv. fot my beloved C320. German metal is the best. Gives you security & confidence driving among crazy drivers around the world.

Just excellent that I was fortunate to find this site.
Please note that pages 35 and 37 have over-written script from other pages. This makes it difficult, but not impossible, to read those contents. Fortunately, they are not critical to my needs.

i bought a car and then discovered it didn't have the owners manual with it. not much fun having a foreign make car and not knowing how to work anything. thanks for your help.

  1. I do have one, but Very nice to have available here ! I was wondering if I should make a copy of mine just so Id have one, in case of losing it? But no need, great to have one available as you supplied. Thanks

    Would you know by chance where I could get a Service Manual, or Shop Manual for the 94 SL 600 ? Would really like one ! Thanks again, Merv
