Additional Notes
- The Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG C197 power steering system holds a capacity of 1 liter across all four configurations covered in the specifications.
- The 1-liter figure represents a service fill capacity, meaning the volume of fluid the power steering reservoir and circuit holds during a standard fluid service rather than a full system overhaul.
- All four configurations carry a normal use condition tied to the 1-liter capacity, indicating the specification applies to standard operating conditions rather than severe or track-oriented duty cycles.
- The original SLS AMG, chassis code 197.377/477, carries the 1-liter capacity for model years 2010-2012, while the SLS AMG GT variant of the same chassis code extends coverage from 2012-2014 at the same capacity.
- The SLS AMG GT Black Series, chassis code 197.378/478, shares the 1-liter power steering capacity despite representing a higher-performance derivative of the platform, with a production window limited to 2013.
- The SLS AMG GT Final Edition, also under chassis code 197.378/478, carries the same 1-liter capacity for model years 2013-2014, aligning with the Black Series on both chassis designation and fluid volume.
