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, drive program E+ in PLUG-IN
HYBRID 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.
