Electronically controlled shifting. Driver-adaptive programming adjusts shift points to the driver’s current driving style.
Touch Shift allows driver to manually downshift and allow upshifts by nudging the shift lever left or right from the Drive position.
Shift into Optimum Gear programming allows one-touch selection of the best gear for maximum acceleration or engine braking by holding the shift lever to the left of Drive for one second.
Driver-selectable Comfort mode starts vehicle moving in 2nd gear or a second Reverse gear, and upshifts at lower rpm, to help improve control on slippery surfaces.

1 No system, no matter how sophisticated, can repeal the laws of physics or overcome careless driving actions. Please always wear your seat belt. 2 Stated rates of acceleration are based upon manufacturer’s track results and may vary depending upon model, environmental and road
surface conditions, driving style, elevation and vehicle load. 2004 CLK 500 figures shown. Please see your dealer. 3 These estimates are based on the Government of Canada’s approved criteria and testing methods. The actual fuel consumption of these vehicles may vary. Refer to the
Fuel
Consumption Guide
. 4 AMG 18" wheels and accompanying high-speed-rated tires provide substantially increased treadwear and reduced ride comfort compared to H-rated tires. Serious wheel and tire damage may occur if the vehicle is operated on rough or damaged road surfaces or
upon encountering road debris or obstacles. 5 Z-rated tires are optimized for performance driving and may provide reduced ride comfort, increased tire noise, substantially increased treadwear and greater susceptibility to damage compared with H-rated tires. 6 Braking effectiveness
also depends on proper brake system maintenance, and tire and road conditions. 7 Coupe figures are with optional sunroof. Cabriolet figures are with top up unless otherwise noted.
