Shift into reverse gear R or park position P only

when the vehicle is stopped.

Avoid spinning of a drive wheel for an extended

period when driving off on slippery road

surfaces. This may cause serious damage to the

drivetrain which is not covered by the

Mercedes-Benz Limited Warranty.

!

Never change the program mode when the

automatic transmission is out of park position P.

This could result in a change of driving character-

istics for which you may not be prepared.
