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.
