BlueEFFICIENCY measures

The BlueEFFICIENCY measures are comprehensive vehicle optimisations which help save fuel and ease the burden on the environment. The SLK also combines the most efficient engines with the optimum aerodynamics and energy management features available to keep fuel consumption to a minimum.

These include:

  • Aerodynamically shaped exterior mirror housing
  • Tyres with optimised rolling resistance
  • ECO start/stop function
  • ECO display and current consumption indicator
  • Energy-saving on-demand ancillary components (power steering pump, air conditioning compressor, fuel and oil pumps)
  • Alternator management (alternator switched off in traction mode)
  • Entire engine range certified as Euro 5 emissions class
  • Engine technologies such as direct injection and turbo-charging
  • Optimised aerodynamics through adjustable radiator shutter[1]
  • Shift point indicator for models with manual transmission
