Gear selector lever
Warning!
G
The gear selector lever is located on the
lower part of the center console.
Make sure that absolutely no objects are ob-
structing the pedals’ range of movement.
Keep the driver’s footwell clear of all obsta-
cles. If there are any floormats or carpets in
the footwell, make sure that the pedals still
have sufficient clearance.
Your vehicle’s transmission adapts its gear
shifting process to your individual driving
style by continually adjusting the shift
points up or down. These shift point adjust-
ments are performed based on current
operating and driving conditions.
During sudden driving or braking maneuvers
the objects could get caught between the
pedals. You could then no longer brake or
accelerate. This could lead to accidents and
injury.
If the operating conditions change, the
automatic transmission reacts by
adjusting its shift program.
i During the brief warm-up, transmission
upshifting is delayed. This allows the catalytic
converter to heat up more quickly to operating
temperature.

Automotive readers have rated 2008 Mercedes-Benz CLS550 CLS63 AMG W219 Owners Manual 5.0 out of 5.0 based on 2 product reviews. This is exactly what I've been looking for and need. Great info in perfect detail and limited pics help as well.
Great having the manual saved on my tablet versus having to get the hard copy from within the vehicle. It's very thorough and complete, much appreciated
