Automatic transmission*
An additional indication of the current gear 
selector lever position can be found on the 
cover of the shifting-gate.
The indicators come on when you activate 
a switch (e.g. unlocking the vehicle or 
opening a door) and go out after approxi-
mately 15 minutes.
Shifting procedure
The automatic transmission selects indi-
vidual gears automatically, depending on:
앫
gear selector lever position D 
(
page 140) with gear ranges 
앫
the selected program mode (C/S) 
(
앫
the position of the accelerator pedal 
(
앫
the vehicle speed
When the gear selector lever is in drive 
position D, you can influence transmission 
shifting by:
앫
limiting the gear range
앫
changing gears manually
Warning!
G
It is dangerous to shift the gear selector 
lever out of park position P or neutral 
position N if the engine speed is higher than 
idle speed. If your foot is not firmly on the 
brake pedal, the vehicle could accelerate 
quickly forward or reverse. You could lose 
control of the vehicle and hit someone or 
something. Only shift into gear when the 
engine is idling normally and when your right 
foot is firmly on the brake pedal.
!
Allow engine to warm up under low load use. 
Do not place full load on the engine until the 
operating temperature has been reached.
Shift into reverse gear R or park position P only 
when the vehicle is stopped.
Avoid spinning of a drive wheel when driving off 
on slippery road surfaces. This may cause seri-
ous damage to the drivetrain which is not cov-
ered by the Mercedes-Benz Limited Warranty.
