2017 Mercedes-Benz SLC300 Service and Repair Manual

This factory service and repair manual for the 2017 Mercedes-Benz SLC300 is aimed at the 2.0L turbocharged four-cylinder convertible. That inline-four has double overhead cams and uses gasoline, and it is the only engine listed. The body is a 2-door convertible and the sole trim is Base. With turbocharging on a 2.0L engine, boost and fuel control are central to diagnosis, and this book gives specifications for that setup.

Known issues on the 2017 SLC300. Two recalls name the 2017 SLC300. The one with mechanical consequences involved certain cars whose stability control software could hold the brakes lightly on while driving, heating the brake components, weakening braking and in the worst case overheating enough to start a fire; a software update corrects it. The second concerned certain vehicles whose emergency call system could transmit a wrong crash location. Four owner complaints are logged, with communication, the electrical system and the engine named once apiece. Brake system diagnostics, stability control wiring and communication module procedures are covered.
