If you turn off the engine using the SmartKey and
remove the SmartKey from the starter switch,
the transmission will shift to park position P
automatically. Keep in mind that turning off the
engine with the SmartKey alone will not automat-
ically shift the transmission to park position P.

Shift into reverse gear R only

when vehicle is stopped. The
park position is not intended to
serve as a brake when the vehi-
cle is parked. Rather, the driver
should always set the parking
brake in addition to shifting into
park position P to secure the
vehicle.
ë Neutral
No power is transmitted from the
engine to the drive axle. When
the brakes are released, the
vehicle can be moved freely
(pushed or towed).

KEYLESS-GO*:
If you turn off the engine using the KEYLESS-GO*
start/stop button and open a front door, the
transmission will shift to park position P
automatically. Keep in mind that turning off the
engine using the KEYLESS-GO* start/stop
button alone will not automatically shift the
transmission to park position P.
To avoid damage to the transmis-
sion, never shift into neutral
position N while driving.
If the vehicle’s electrical system
is malfunctioning, the automatic
transmission could remain
locked in park position P.
i Even though this is possible, make it a prac-
tice to always shift into park position P before
turning off the engine and remove the SmartKey
from the starter switch, or when using
KEYLESS-GO*, before turning off the engine with
the start/stop button and opening a front door.
If the ESP® is deactivated or
malfunctioning:
Shift into neutral position N only
if the vehicle is in danger of
skidding, e.g. on icy roads.
̈
Have the vehicle checked as
soon as possible by an autho-
rized Mercedes-Benz Light
Truck Center.
ê Drive
The transmission shifts
automatically. All forward gears
are available.
