Upshift to 4th gear only. Suitable
for performance driving.
R Reverse gear.
Shift to reverse gear only with the
car stopped.
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 braking power downhill.
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.
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

Selector Lever Positions S 320
Instructions in Index).
Important!
The automatic gear shifting process
can be adapted to specific operating
conditions using the selector lever.
Important!
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.
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 malfunction. However,
neither the engine nor transmission are
negatively affected by this mode of
operation.
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:
The key can be removed from the
steering lock only with the selector
lever in position "P".
