reaches the overspeed range. Thus you
can drive at the maximum engine speed for
each gear without overrevving the engine.
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.
Upshifting
!
In the manual program mode M, the trans-
mission will not upshift, even if the engine has
reached its overrewing range. Shift up to the
next gear before the engine has reached its over-

engine speed does not reach the red marking on
the tachometer (୴ page 28). Otherwise the en-
gine could be damaged which is not covered by
the Mercedes-Benz Limited Warranty.
