comfort-oriented engine and suspension
settings.
R optimal fuel consumption resulting from
the automatic transmission shifting up
sooner.
R the vehicle pulling away more gently in
forward and reverse gears, unless the
accelerator pedal is depressed fully.
R increased sensitivity. This improves the
driving stability of the vehicle on slippery
road surfaces, for example.
R the automatic transmission shifting up
sooner, resulting in the vehicle maintaining
lower engine speeds and thereby consum-
ing less fuel.
Drive program Sis characterised by the fol-
lowing:
R sporty engine and suspension configura-
tion.
R the vehicle pulling away in first gear.
R the automatic transmission shifting up
later.
R the late shift point of the automatic trans-
mission can lead to higher fuel consump-
tion.
Manual drive program !
Warm up the engine quickly. Do not use
the engine's full performance until it has
reached operating temperature.
Only set the automatic transmission to the
respective drive positions when the vehicle
is stationary.
Where possible, avoid spinning the drive
wheels when pulling away on slippery
roads. Otherwise, you could damage the
drive train.
You can change gear yourself by using the
steering wheel gearshift paddles in manual
drive program M. As in drive program S, the
engine, transmission and suspension settings
are dynamic. Manual gearshift program Mcan be selected by using the program selec-
tor button.
X
To activate: press program selector but-
ton :repeatedly until Mappears in the
multi-function display.
The automatic transmission changes to
manual drive program M. Automatic gear-
shifting is deactivated.
If the automatic transmission is in position
D, you can shift up or down through the gears.
The gear currently selected and engaged is
shown in the multi-function display
(Y page 208).
X To deactivate: press program selector
button :repeatedly until Cor Sappears
in the multi-function display.
or
X Restart the engine.
The automatic transmission then switches
to drive program C.
Upshifting
X Pull the right-hand steering wheel gearshift
paddle (Y page 209).
The automatic transmission shifts up to the
next gear.
Vehicles with AMG engines
! In manual gearshift program M, the auto-
matic transmission does not shift up auto-
matically even when the engine limiting
speed for the current gear is reached.
When the engine limiting speed is reached,
the fuel supply is cut to prevent the engine
from overrevving. You must make sure that
the engine speed does not reach the red
area of the rev counter. Otherwise, there is
a risk of engine damage.
Downshifting G
Risk of accident
Do not change down for additional engine
braking on a slippery road surface. This could
cause the drive wheels to lose their grip and
the vehicle could skid. Automatic transmission

X
Pull the left-hand steering wheel gearshift
paddle (Y page 210).
The automatic transmission shifts down to
the next gear.
i If you slow down or stop without shifting
down, the automatic transmission auto-
matically shifts down.
Kickdown
i Vehicles with an AMG engine: it is not
possible to use kickdown in manual drive
program M.
You can also use kickdown for maximum
acceleration in manual drive program M.
X Depress the accelerator pedal beyond the
pressure point.
The transmission shifts to a lower gear
depending on the engine speed.
X Shift back up once the desired speed is
reached.
i Vehicles without an AMG engine: if you
apply full throttle, the automatic transmis-
sion shifts up to the next gear at maximum
engine speed. This prevents the engine
from overrevving. Instrument cluster
Points to remember
You will find an illustration of the instrument
cluster in the "At a glance" section
(Y page 27). G
Risk of accident
If the instrument cluster or the multi-function
display fails, it can no longer show any display
messages.
You will not then be able to see information
about the vehicle status, such as speed, out-
side temperature, warning and indicator
lamps, display messages or the failure of sys-
tems. Handling characteristics may be affec-
ted. Adjust your driving style and speed
accordingly. Immediately consult a qualified specialist
workshop which has the necessary specialist
knowledge and tools to carry out the work
required. Mercedes-Benz recommends that
you use a Mercedes-Benz Service Centre for
this purpose. In particular, work relevant to
safety or on safety-related systems must be
carried out at a qualified specialist workshop. Coolant temperature display
The coolant temperature gauge is in the
instrument cluster on the left-hand side.
Under normal operating conditions and with
the specified coolant level, the coolant tem-
perature may rise to 120 †. Rev counter
The red band in the rev counter indicates the
engine's overrevving range. The fuel supply is
interrupted to protect the engine when the
red band is reached.
! Do not drive in the overrevving range.
Doing so will damage the engine. Outside temperature display
G
Risk of accident
If the temperature is slightly above freezing,
the road may be icy, especially in wooded
areas or on bridges. If you do not adjust your
driving style, the vehicle may start to skid. For
this reason, you should always adjust your
driving style and speed to the weather condi-
tions.
Changes in the outside temperature are dis-
played after a short delay. 212
