gently to accelerator movements, which is ideal
for city traffic or on snow, for example. In the
process, the fuel consumption is minimal and
the engine output is reduced.

engine start.
You can select the programs "P 400", "P 500"
and "P 500 Sport" with the button on the steer-
ing wheel, refer to MDrive on page 52.
