W
Winter/Wet (snow and ice) mode
Emergency operation
(Limp home mode)
Press switch on symbol “W”. The vehicle starts
out in 2nd gear, except with selector lever in 1st
gear, or with accelerator pedal in kick-down
position.
If vehicle acceleration worsens or the transmission no
longer shifts, the transmission is most likely operating
in Limp Home Mode which engages when there is a
malfunction of the transmission. This condition may be
accompanied by the “CHECK ENGINE” malfunction
indicator lamp in the instrument cluster coming on.
The “W” mode helps to improve traction and
driving stability of the vehicle.
The gear shifting process occurs at lower vehicle
and engine speeds than in the “S” program mode.
In this mode only the 2nd gear or reverse gear can be
activated.
Caution!
To engage 2nd gear or reverse:
Never change the program mode when the selector lever
is out of position “P”. It could result in a change of
driving characteristics for which you may not be
prepared.
1.
Stop the vehicle.
2. Move selector lever to position “P”.
3.
Turn off the engine.
Important!
4. Wait approx. 10 seconds.
5. Restart the engine.
Always be certain of the program mode selected since
the vehicle driving characteristics change with the
selection of the program mode.
6.
Move selector lever to position “D” (for 2nd gear), or
move selector lever to position “R” (for reverse gear).
Dependent on the program mode selector switch
position “S” or “W” and the gear selector lever in
position “R”, the ratio of power transmission changes.
Have the transmission checked at your authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center as soon as possible.
