Transmission position display

General notes
!

If the transmission position display in the

multifunction display is not working, you

should pull away carefully to check whether

the desired transmission position is

engaged. For this purpose, we recommend

selecting transmission position D and auto-

matic drive program E (drive program C in

AMG vehicles) or S.

The current transmission position is shown in

the multifunction display.
The arrows in the transmission position dis-

play show how and into which transmission

positions you can change using the DIRECT

SELECT lever.

vehicle is stationary. The parking

lock should not be used as a brake

when parking. Always apply the

electronic parking brake in addi-

tion to the parking lock in order to

secure the vehicle.
If the vehicle electronics are mal-

functioning, the transmission may

be locked in position P. Have the

vehicle electronics checked imme-

diately at a qualified specialist

workshop.

C Reverse gear

Only shift the transmission to R

when the vehicle is stationary.
