Driving tips
Accelerator pedal position
Your style of driving influences how the auto-
matic transmission shifts gear:
R
little throttle: early upshifts
R
more throttle: late upshifts
Double-clutch function
When shifting down, the double-clutch func-
tion is active regardless of the currently selec-
ted drive program. The double-clutch function
reduces load change reactions and is condu-
cive to a sporty driving style. The sound gen-
erated by the double-clutch function depends
on the drive program selected.
Kickdown
Use kickdown for maximum acceleration.
X
Depress the accelerator pedal beyond the
pressure point.
The transmission shifts to a lower gear
depending on the engine speed.

desired speed is reached.
The automatic transmission shifts back up.

edly until the letter for the desired gearshift
program appears in the multifunction dis-

i
The automatic transmission switches to
automatic drive program E (drive program
C in AMG vehicles) each time the engine is
started.
i
AMG vehicles: when in drive program C
and with a small load demand, e.g. in urban
traffic or on a country road, the engine will
automatically only operate with four cylin-
ders. This reduces fuel consumption. Cyl-
inder shut-off is inactive in drive programs
S and M, so that the engine will operate
with all eight cylinders.
