In my SLK it stands for standard setting and the L for assistance in slippery conditions like snow and ice.
I think it locks out first gear and forces start in second and, in my case, some other things maybe not on the 81 like ABS to let you get going and moving without spinning. Perhaps locking the differential etc.
Not sure its the same from back in 81 but I bet its similar?
