Changing gear

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, for AMG vehicles, C/S/M
• the position of the accelerator pedal
• the road speed
