R Reverse gear.
4 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 page 19).
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.
Important!
Selector Lever Positions 300 SL
Coasting the vehicle for an extended
period of time with selector lever in
"N" can result in transmission damage.
That is not covered by the
Important!
The automatic gear shifting process can
be adapted to specific operating
conditions using the selector lever.
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.
During the brief warm-up period this
delayed upshift and increased engine
noise might be perceived as a

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
upshifts to 5th gear. Position "D"
provides optimum driving
characteristics under all normal
operating conditions.
Note:
malfunction. However, neither the
engine nor transmission 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". With the key
removed, the selector lever is
locked in position "P".
3
Upshift to 4th gear only.
Suitable for performance driving.
