Automatic transmission

ì
Park position
Shift into park position P 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.
If the vehicle’s electrical system
is malfunctioning, the automatic
transmission could remain
locked in park position P.
̈ Have the vehicle checked as
soon as possible by an autho-
rized Mercedes-Benz Light
Truck Center.
! SmartKey:
If you turn off the engine using the SmartKey and
ț remove the SmartKey from the starter
switch
or
ț open a front door
the transmission will shift to park position P
automatically.
Keep in mind that turning off the engine with the
SmartKey alone only will automatically shift the
transmission to neutral position N.
! 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 only
will automatically shift the transmission to
neutral position N.
i Make it a practice to always shift into park
position P before turning off the engine and
ț remove the SmartKey from the starter
switch
or
ț open a front door
or when using KEYLESS-GO*, before turning off
the engine with the start/stop button and open-
ing a front door.
