Information for driving with a manual
transmission is found in the “Getting start-
ed” section (୴ page 44).
Also, when parked on an incline, an engaged
first or reverse gear alone may not prevent
your vehicle from moving, possibly hitting
people or objects.
This could result in drive wheel slip and
reduced vehicle control. Your vehicle’s ABS
will not prevent this type of loss of control.
Always set the parking brake in addition to
!
engaging first or reverse gear (୴ page 51).
Downshifting gears leading to overrev-
ving the engine can result in engine
damage that is not covered by the
Mercedes-Benz Limited Warranty.
When parked on an incline, turn front wheels
towards the road curb.

by using the clutch pedal. The clutch
may be damaged which is not covered
by the Mercedes-Benz Limited Warran-
ty.
