Refueling - Mercedes-Benz AMG GT S 2016 Operator's Manual

shown in the multifunction display of the
instrument cluster.
Display for shift blocked
If the engine speed becomes too high or too
low as a result of shifting gear, you cannot
shift gear using the steering wheel paddle
shifters. If you then pull the left-hand or right-
hand steering wheel paddle shifter, seg-
ments : light up red briefly.
Information in the Digital Operator's
Manual
In the Digital Operator's Manual you will find
information on the following topics:
Downshifting
R
Switching off
R
RACE drive program
The RACE drive program is designed for max-
imum performance in terms of shift points
and engine speeds. The engine and transmis-
sion should be at normal operating tempera-
ture for the RACE drive program
( page 135). Use the RACE drive program on
Y
a closed-off race circuit.
Drive program Race is characterized by the
following:
The vehicle exhibits driving characteristics
R
suitable for the racetrack.
All vehicle systems are set for maximum
R
sportiness.
For optimum performance, the transmis-
R
sion shifts up later and shifts down sooner.
The multifunction display shows the man-
R
ual gearshift program without upshift indi-
cator ( page 106).
Y
The gearshift recommendation gives you
R
information for slowly warming up the drive
assemblies and for adopting a fuel-efficient
driving style ( page 106). You can follow
Y
the gearshift recommendations at all times
and shift gear accordingly using the steer-
ing wheel paddle shifters. On the basis of
the gearshift recommendation, using the
steering wheel paddle shifters, you can
optimize the drive train and engine operat-
ing mode at any time.
If you have selected a gear manually, this
R
will be maintained until the vehicle speed
increases or decreases dramatically.
If you do not follow the gearshift recom-
R
mendations, the automatic shift points may
result in high fuel consumption.
The suspension exhibits particularly hard
R
springing and damping settings.
The transmission shift and response times
R
are significantly shorter with more aggres-
sive gear changes. This is particularly the
case when shifting up. The shift strategy is
thus designed to interact dynamically with
the high-revving engine
Gliding mode is not available.
R
The ECO start/stop function is not availa-
R
ble.
