The automatic transmission shifts to the individual gears automatically when it is in transmission position D. This automatic gearshifting behavior is determined by:

 - a shift range restriction, if selected
 - the selected drive program

E/S or M (AMG vehicles)

 - the position of the accelerator pedal
 - the road speed
