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.
