to as porty driving style .The sound generated by
the double-clutch function depends on the drive progra mselected.
Kickdown Use kickdown for maximu
macceleration:
X Depress the accelerator peda lbeyond the
pressure point.
The transmission shifts to alower gear
depending on the engine speed.
X Ease off the accelerator peda lonce the
desired spee disreached.
The automatic transmission shifts back up.
Rocking the vehicle free Rocking the vehicl
efree by shifting the trans-
mission repeatedly between transmission posi-
tions Dand Rmay help to free the vehicl eifithas
become stuck in mud or snow.
The vehicle's engine management restricts
repeated shifting between transmission posi-
tions Dand Rup to amaximu mspeed of
9k m/h.
To shift back and forth between transmission
positions Dand R,m ove the DIRECT SELECT
lever up and down past the point of resistance.
Glidin gmode (Mercedes-AMG vehicles) Gliding mode is characterised by the following:
R the combustion engine is disconnected from
the drive train
R the engine speed is equal to the engine idling
speed
R status icon Cgoes out and status icon :is
displayed in the multifunction display
(Y page1 59)
In drive program C,you can deactivate and acti-
vate gliding mode using the ECO button
(Y page1 51). Gliding mode can be activated under the follow-
ing conditions:
R the spee diswithinas uitable range
R the type of road is suitable ,e.g. no steep gra-
dients
R you are no longer depressing the accelerator
pedal
Gliding mode is deactivated under the following conditions:
R you depress the accelerator pedal
R you depress the brake pedal
R you use the DIRECT SELECT lever to switch
the transmission position (Y page158)
R you switch to drive program RACE
(S‑MODEL), S+orS(Y page1 54)
R you activate manua lgearshifting
(Y page1 63)
R you leave the suitable spee drange
i If you have selected the "Comfort" setting
for the drive (engine management) in drive
program I,you can alsoa ctivate gliding mode.
You can find informatio nabout this in the Dig-
ital Owner's Manual.
Towing atrailer Towing
atrailer is not possible with all models.
For further information, see (Y page227).

161Driving and parking Z

You should drive particularly carefully on slip-
pery road surfaces. Avoid sudden acceleration,
steerin gand braking manoeuvres .Donot use
cruis econtrol or DISTRONIC PLUS.
If the vehicle threaten stoskid or cannot be
stopped when movin gatlow speed:
X Vehicles with manual transmission: shift
to neutral.
X Vehicles with automatic transmission:
shift the transmission to position
N.
X Try to brin gthe vehicle under control by using
correctiv esteering.
The outsid etemperature indicator is not
designed to serv easanice-warnin gdevic eand
is therefore unsuitable for that purpose.
Changes in the outsid etemperature are dis-
played afte rashortdelay.
Indicated temperatures just above the freezing
point do not guarantee that the road surfac eis
free of ice. The road may still be icy, especially in wooded areas or on bridges .The vehicle could
skid if you fail to adapt your drivin gstyle. Always
adapt your drivin gstyle and drive at aspeed to
suit the prevailin gweather conditions.
You should pay special attention to road condi-
tion swhen temperatures are around freezing
point.

tion (Y page 355). Driving systems
Mercedes-Benz Intelligent Drive
Mercedes-Ben zIntelligent Drive stands for inno-
vativ edriver assistanc eand safet ysystems
which enhance comfort and support the driver in critical situations .With these intelligent co-ordi-
nated systems Mercedes-Ben zhas set amile-
stone on the path towards autonomous driving.
Mercedes-Ben zIntelligent Drive embraces all
elements of active and passive safet yinone well
thought-out syste m–for the safet yofthe vehi-
cle occupant sand that of other road users.
Further information on drivin gsafet ysystems
(Y page 66). Cruise control
Genera lnotes Cruise control maintains
aconstan troad speed
for you. It brakes automatically in order to avoid
exceeding the set speed. Change int oalower
gear in good tim eonlong and steep downhill
gradients. Take particular not eofthis when driv-
ing aladen vehicle and when towin gatrailer. By
doing so, you will make use of the braking effect
of the engine. This relieve sthe load on the brake
syste mand prevent sthe brakes from overheat-
ing and wearing too quickly.
Use cruis econtrol only if road and traffic con-
dition sare appropriate for maintainin gasteady
speed for aprolonged period. You can store any
road speed above 30 km/h.
Important safet ynotes If you fail to adapt your drivin
gstyle, cruis econ-
trol can neither reduce the risk of an accident
nor override the laws of physics .Cruise control
cannot tak eintoa ccount road, weather or traffic
conditions. Cruise control is only an aid. You are responsible for the distance to the vehicle in
front, for vehicle speed, for braking in good time,
and for stayin ginlane.
Do not use cruis econtrol:
R in road and traffic condition swhich do not
allow you to maintain aconstan tspeed, e.g. in
heavy traffic or on windin groads
R on smoot horslippery roads. Braking or accel-
erating can cause the drive wheels to lose
traction and the vehicle could the nskid
R when there is poor visibility, e.g. due to fog,
heavy rain or snow
If there is achange of drivers, advise the new
driver of the speed stored.
i The speed indicated in the speedometer
may diffe rslightly from the speed stored. 180
