Important!
To prevent the engine from laboring at
low RPMs, do not allow the engine
speed to drop too low on uphill
gradients.
Stopping
Do not exceed the vehicle speed limits
for individual gear selections.
For brief stops, e.g. at traffic lights,
leave the transmission in gear and hold
vehicle with the service brake.
Overrevving the engine when selector
lever is moved to a lower driving range
could result in serious damage to the
engine that is not covered by the
Mercedes-Benz Limited Warranty.
Refer to Technical Data for downshift
points.
Depending on the degree of the incline,
shift selector lever to a lower gear early
enough to maintain engine RPM within
the best torque range.
For longer stops with the engine idling,
shift into "N" or "P".
When stopping the car on an uphill
incline, do not hold it with the
Maneuvering
accelerator, use the brake. This avoids
unnecessary transmission heat build up.
Warning!
To maneuver in tight areas, e.g. when
pulling into parking space, control the
car speed by gradually releasing the
brakes. Accelerate gently and never
abruptly step on the accelerator.
On slippery road surfaces, never
downshift in order to obtain braking
action. This could result in rear
wheel slip and reduced vehicle
control. Your vehicle's ABS will not
prevent this type of loss of control
This applies particularly for position
"B".
Warning!
Getting out of your car with the
selector lever not fully engaged in
position "P" is dangerous. When
parked on an incline, position "P"
alone may not prevent your vehicle
from moving, possibly hitting people
or objects.
To rock a car out of soft ground (mud
or snow), alternately shift from forward
to reverse, while applying slight partial
throttle.
Rocking a car free in this manner may
cause the ABS warning lamp to come
on. Turn off and restart the engine to
clear the malfunction indication.
Always set the parking brake in
addition to shifting to position "P".
When parked on an incline, also turn
downhill side of front wheel against
curb
