Manual gear shifting
General notes
You can change gear yourself using the steering
wheel paddle shifters. The transmission must be

shifter is pulled, the automatic transmission
immediately shifts into the next gear down or
up, if permitted.
Mercedes-AMG vehicles: to use manual shift-
ing, you have two options:
R
temporary setting
R

If you activate manual gearshifting, the multi-

will be selected automatically.
