Park position
The park position is to be used when parking the 
vehicle. Engage only with the vehicle stopped. 
The park position is not intended to serve as a 
brake when the vehicle is parked. Rather, the 
driver should always use the parking brake in 
addition to placing the selector lever in park to 
secure the vehicle. 
Note:
The electronic key can only be removed from the 
starter switch with the selector lever in 
position “P”. With the electronic key removed, the 
selector lever is locked in position “P”.
Reverse gear
Shift to reverse gear only with the vehicle 
stopped.
Dependent on the program mode selector switch 
position “S” or “W” the maximum speed in the 
reverse gear is different. However, it is not 
possible to change the program mode while in 
reverse.
Neutral
No power is transmitted from the engine to the 
drive axle. When the brakes are released, the 
vehicle can be moved freely (pushed or towed). Do 
not engage “N” while driving except to coast 
when the vehicle is in danger of skidding (e.g. on 
icy roads, see page 268 for winter driving 
instructions).
Important!
Coasting the vehicle, or driving for any other 
reason with selector lever in “N” can result in 
transmission damage that is not covered by the 
Mercedes-Benz Limited Warranty.
The transmission automatically upshifts through 
5th gear. Position “D” provides optimum driving 
characteristics under all normal operating 
conditions.
