Mercedes Benz 2005 e 320 用户手册

For more information on driving with an au-
tomatic transmission, see the “Getting 
started” section (

컄

page 46).

Your vehicle’s transmission adapts its gear 
shifting process to your individual driving 
style by continually adjusting the shift 
points up or down. These shift point adjust-
ments are performed based on current 
operating and driving conditions.

If the operating conditions change, the 
automatic transmission reacts by 
adjusting its gear shift program.

The automatic transmission selects indi-
vidual gears automatically, depending on:

the gear selector lever position D with 
gear ranges (

The current gear range/gear selector lever 
position and program mode (

) appear in the multifunction dis-

play.

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.

i

During the brief warm-up, transmission 
upshifting is delayed. This allows the 
catalytic converter (gasoline engine) or 
the oxidation catalyst (Diesel engine) 
to reach its operating temperature ear-
lier.
