Function Of Manual Drive Mode Selection
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Mercedes-Benz C230 and 2003 Mercedes-Benz C230. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
With the selector lever and the transmission mode switch (S16/5) on the floor shift it is possible to adapt the automatic gearshift sequence to suit specific operation conditions.
The shift range can in fact be changed in the forward gears while driving, however the electronic transmission control (ETC) prevents a shift at an unacceptably high engine speed.
In position "C" (comfort program) of the transmission mode switch (S16/5) a lower overall ratio and therefore a lower output torque is available when driving backwards and forwards. This allows the vehicle to move off more gently. In addition, the gears are not driven to maximum revs.
