Introduction
For information on driving with an automatic
transmission, see “Driving and park-
ing” (Y page 106).

Warning!
Make sure absolutely no objects are
obstructing the pedals’ range of movement.
Keep the driver’s footwell clear of all obsta-
cles. If there are any floormats or carpets
in the footwell, make sure the pedals still
have sufficient clearance.
During sudden driving or braking maneu-
vers the objects could get caught between
the pedals. You could then no longer brake
or accelerate. This could lead to accidents
and injury.
!
Allow engine to warm up under low load
use. Do not place full load on the engine
until the operating temperature has been
reached.
Avoid spinning of a drive wheel for an
extended period when driving off on slip-
pery road surfaces.
This may cause serious damage to the
engine and the drivetrain which is not cov-
ered by the Mercedes-Benz Limited War-
ranty.

During the brief warm-up, transmission
upshifting is delayed. This allows the cata-
lytic converter to heat up more quickly to
operating temperature.
