G
With the gear selector lever in drive posi-
tion D and driving in program mode C or S,
you can limit or extend the gear range.
Select C for comfort driving
(E 63 AMG: for standard driving):
On slippery road surfaces, never downshift
in order to obtain braking action. This could
result in drive wheel slip and reduced
vehicle control. Your vehicle’s ABS will not
prevent this type of loss of control.
If your vehicle is equipped with manual
shift program M, you can use the gear
selector lever to manually shift the gears.
ț
The vehicle starts out in second
gear (both forward and reverse) for
gentler starts. This does not apply if
full throttle is applied or gear
range 1 is selected.
i For information on using the gear selector
lever in program mode M, see “Manual shift pro-
gram E 63 AMG” (୴ page 194).

Briefly press the gear selector lever to

Traction and driving stability are
improved on icy roads.
!
Allow engine to warm up under low load use.
Do not place full load on the engine until the
operating temperature has been reached.
The transmission will shift to the next
lower gear as permitted by the shift
program. This action simultaneously
limits the gear range of the transmis-
sion (୴ page 189).
Upshifts occur earlier even when
you give more gas. The engine then
operates at lower rpms and the
wheels are less likely to spin.
Shift into reverse gear R or park position P only
when the vehicle is stopped.
Avoid spinning of a drive wheel for an extended
period when driving off on slippery road
surfaces. This may cause serious damage to the
drivetrain which is not covered by the
Mercedes-Benz Limited Warranty.
i To avoid overrevving the engine when down-
shifting, the transmission will not shift to a lower
gear if the engine’s max. speed would be
exceeded.
Select S for standard driving
(E 63 AMG: for sporty driving):
ț
ț
The vehicle starts out in first gear.
Upshifts occur later.
The following instructions describe opera-
tion of the gear selector lever when driving
in the automatic program mode C or S.
