TRANSMISSION
4-speed transmissionA
5-speed transmission(Durashift 5-tronic)B
Depending on the model variant, thetransmission in your vehicle is a 4- or5-speed transmission. Bothtransmissions are electronicallycontrolled but they also allow you tochange gear manually.
Gear selection
WARNING
When the vehicle is stationary,apply the parking brake ordepress the footbrake beforeselecting a gear. Failure to do socould result in the vehicle pullingaway when you have engaged agear.
Note: A cold engine runs at a higheridling speed after starting. Thiscauses a strong ‘creep’ tendency inreverse and all forward gears.
To select lever positions R and P, youmust first depress the locking buttonon the selector lever grip. On4−speed transmissions also whenselecting position 2 (except changingfrom 1 to 2).

WARNINGS
This position should be selectedonly when the vehicle isstationary.
Always apply the parking brakeand make sure that the selectorlever is securely latched in P. Turn offthe ignition whenever you leave thevehicle.
If position P is not selected, awarning chime will sound whenthe driver’s door is opened.
In this position, the transmission islocked.
The engine should be started withthe selector lever in position P. Ifnecessary, it can also be started inposition N.
After starting the engine, the levercan be moved out of this positiononly when the foot brake isdepressed and the lockingbutton pressed in.
R = Reverse
WARNING
This position should be selectedonly when the vehicle isstationary and the engine is idling.
Depress the brake pedal whenselecting R.
N = Neutral
WARNING
In this position, you have todepress the brake pedal orapply the parking brake to preventthe vehicle from moving.
In this position no power istransmitted to the drive wheels.
D = Drive
This is the normal driving position.When the brake is released, thevehicle will creep. All forward gearsare selected automatically dependingon driving conditions.
+/− = Gears 1−5 (5-speedtransmission)
When shifting manually, gears 1, 2,3, 4 and 5 can be selected.
2 = Gear 2 (4-speedtransmission)
The transmission remainspermanently in second gear. Thisposition should be selected on downhill gradients to avoid unnecessaryuse of the brakes, and on long uphillgradients and twisty roads. It can alsobe used for initial start-off on icyroads.

TransmissionE66565

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine 1 = Gear 1 (4-speedtransmission)
The transmission remains in the firstgear. For extreme downhill gradients.
Manual shifting (5-speedtransmission)
Manually selecting gears with theautomatic transmission is similar toshifting with a manual transmission.This option can be selected when thevehicle is either stationary or inmotion.
Move the gearshift lever to D, andthen guide it to the right. When thevehicle is stationary, only the gears 1and 2 can be selected.
To shift down, gently push thegearshift lever forwards (−) or pressa − button on the steering wheelspokes. To shift up, gently pull itbackwards (+) or press a + button onthe steering wheel spokes. You canshift up or down only one gear at atime. For your safety and comfort,the transmission will perform yourmanual gear selection when vehiclespeed and engine speed areappropriate.
The manually selected gear will beshown in the multifunction display assoon as the transmission performedthe selection.

TransmissionE72460 E72461 E72459

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine The multifunction display shows thecurrent selector lever position PRNor D and AUTO when the selectorlever is in the left gate (automaticshifting) or 1234 or 5 and MANwhen the selector lever is in the rightgate (manual shifting).
Manual shifting (4-speedtransmission)
Select position 1, release the parkingbrake and depress the acceleratorpedal. Move the selector lever toposition 2 and D as the road speedincreases.
If the selector lever is moved fromposition D to position 2 while driving,the transmission will change down tosecond gear once the speed dropsbelow 110 km/h (69 mph) and remainin this gear. If the selector lever ismoved to position 1, the transmissionremains in second gear until thespeed drops to 45 km/h (38 mph). Itwill then change down to first gearand stay in this gear.
Overdrive (4-speedtransmission)
The 4th gear is designed as anoverdrive. If the transmission isfrequently shifting between 4th and3rd gear (selector lever position D),the overdrive should be switched off.Depress the button located underthe grip at the side of the selectorlever.
The overdrive indicator in themultifunction display indicates thatthe overdrive is switched off. Thetransmission will now shift onlybetween gears 1 to 3.
