Driving tips

Accelerator pedal position

Your style of driving influences how the auto-

matic transmission shifts gear:

little throttle: early upshifts

more throttle: late upshifts

AMG vehicles

When shifting down, the double-clutch func-

tion is active regardless of the currently selec-

ted drive program. The double-clutch function

reduces load change reactions and is condu-

cive to a sporty driving style. The sound gen-

erated by the double-clutch function depends

on the drive program selected.

Kickdown

Use kickdown for maximum acceleration.

Depress the accelerator pedal beyond the

pressure point.

The transmission shifts to a lower gear

depending on the engine speed.

Ease off the accelerator pedal once the

desired speed is reached.

The automatic transmission shifts back up.
