Caution!
In this mode only the 2nd gear or reverse gear can be
activated.
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.
To engage 2nd gear or reverse:
1. Stop the vehicle.
2.
3.
Move selector lever to position “P”.
Turn off the engine.
Important!
Always be certain of the program mode selected since
the vehicle driving characteristics change with the
selection of the program mode.
4. Wait approx. 10 seconds.
5.
6.
Restart the engine.
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.
Move selector lever to position “D” (for 2nd gear), or
move selector lever to position “R” (for reverse gear).
Have the transmission checked at your authorized
Mercedes-Benz Center as soon as possible.
Emergency operation (Limp home mode)
With a malfunction in the vehicle’s electrical system the
selector lever may be locked in position “P”. To unlock
the selector lever manually, see page 274.
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.
