With the key removed, the selector
lever is locked in position "P".
4 Upshift to 4th gear only. Suitable
for performance driving.
R Reverse gear.
3 Upshift to 3rd gear only. Suitable
for moderately steep hills. Since the
transmission does not shift higher
than 3rd gear, this gear selection
will allow use of the engine's brak-
ing power downhill.
Shift to reverse gear only with the
car stopped.
N Neutral.
No power is transmitted from the
engine to the rear axle. When the
brakes are released, the vehicle can
be moved freely (pushed or towed).
Do not engage "N" while driving
except to coast when the vehicle is
in danger of skidding (e.g. on icy
roads, see Winter Driving
2 Upshift to 2nd gear only. For
driving in mountainous regions or
under extreme operating conditions.
This gear selection will allow use of
the engine's braking power when
descending steep grades.

The automatic gear shifting process
can be adapted to specific operating
conditions using the selector lever.
Important!
Important!
With selector lever in position "D", "4"
or "3", upshifting from 1st to 2nd to
3rd gear is delayed depending on
vehicle speed and engine temperature.
This allows the catalytic converter to
heat up more quickly to operating
temperatures.
Coasting the vehicle, or driving for any
other reason with selector lever in "N",
can result in transmission damage that
is not covered by the Mercedes-Benz
Limited Warranty.
P Parking lock.
The parking lock is an additional
safeguard to the parking brake when
parking the vehicle. Engage only
with the car stopped.
D The transmission automatically up
shifts to 4th gear. Position "D"
provides optimum driving
characteristics under all normal
operating conditions.
Note:
During the brief warm-up period this
delayed upshift and increased engine
noise might be perceived as a
malfunction. However, neither the
engine nor transmissions are negatively
affected by this mode of operation.
The key can be removed from the
steering lock only with the
selector lever in position "P".
