Are you sure its not a 1998? I don't know if the SLK was made in 1997? Anyways, Mercedes do not use cam belts, they use chains. Chains hold up much long then belts do, I don't know if any mileage or years to replace the chain, but you really should not have to unless it starts to make excessive noise.
