Are the owner's manuals for the 2009 SL550 available in PDF format?

They should be -- if you have (or plan to own) an '09 SL550, you can register for Owner's Online once they have you in their system (around 2 weeks after purchase). From there you can pick up the owner manual for your car.

If you don't own the car, I'd imagine you can get it through StarTek, the official service site, although that is $18 for a 24-hour period (as someone in another thread mentioned, sign up, then download a bunch to make it worthwhile!). This is the only place I found COMAND manuals in PDF format.

I am waiting for one to be delivered. I would like to have the manual now as I actually read those sorts of things.

I went to the StarTek site. They have a free section and a paid section. I do not see the owner's manual listed in either section. Nor so I see a search function. Do you know what section it is in?

Yeah, me too -- if it weren't dark by the time the paperwork was finished, I'd've spent a couple hours in the car by the curb somewhere just reading.

I'm pretty sure it would be in the paid section. The site is simply a gateway to subscribe to the service and download their Java application, which then provides all sorts of tech data. It is the application that techs use when you go to the dealer for service. It's where I got the COMAND Manual PDF, I'm pretty sure it would have the owner's manual, too. But yeah, it's not available through the site, per se -- just through the application you get at the site.

If you're having it delivered and have already purchased it, you may want to see if you can get the VIN from the dealer. You may already be in the records at Owner Online. (Not certain about that, but it can't hurt to try, and it's a lot cheaper!)
