Tire speed rating
Regardless of the tire speed rating, local
speed limits should be obeyed. Use pru-
dent driving speeds appropriate to prevail-
ing conditions.
An electronic speed limiter prevents your
vehicle from exceeding a speed of:
ț SLK 280
SLK 280 (Sport Package*)
SLK 280 (Appearance Package*):
149 mph (240 km/h)
ț SLK 350
SLK 350 (Sport Package*)
SLK 350 (Appearance Package*)
SLK 55 AMG:
155 mph (250 km/h)
ț SLK 55 AMG (Performance Package*):
174 mph (280 km/h)
The factory equipped tires on your vehicle
may have a tire speed rating above the
maximum speed permitted by the
electronic speed limiter.
Make sure your tires have the required tire
speed rating as specified for your vehicle in
the “Technical data” section (
୴ page 434),
for example when purchasing new tires.
For information on how to identify the tire
speed rating on a tire’s sidewall, see “Tire
size designation, load and speed rating”
(
୴ page 318).
If you are uncertain about the correct
reading of the information given on a tire’s
sidewall, any authorized Mercedes-Benz
Center will be glad to assist you.
Warning! G
Even when permitted by law, never operate
a vehicle at speeds greater than the maxi-
mum speed rating of the tires.
Exceeding the maximum speed for which
tires are rated can lead to sudden tire fail-
ure, causing loss of vehicle control and pos-
sibly resulting in an accident and/or
personal injury and possible death, for you
and for others.
