DIRECT SELECT lever
The desired gear range is transmitted to the automatic
transmission via the DIRECT SELECT lever by an elec-
trical link.
The DIRECT SELECT lever for the gear ranges P, R, N
and D is located on the right side of the steering
column tube module and can be operated from the
steering wheel. On the rear of the steering wheel there
are additional shift buttons on both sides installed in
the steering wheel spokes.
In transmission modes C and S the shift buttons are
used to limit the gear selection, i.e the transmission
selects the ideal gear itself up to the set upper limit
gear.
In transmission mode M (Manual), which is available
only with the AMG sport package special equipment,
the driver can select the desired gear himself. In this
mode the shift buttons on the steering wheel are used
to shift up and down through the gears manually.
