Gearshift recommendation is active only if
you have activated manual gearshifting with
the button on the center console.
Using kickdown
#
Maximum acceleration: depress the accel‐
erator pedal beyond the pressure point.
%
If you have activated manual gearshifting
with the button in the center console, the
transmission does not react to the kick‐
down.
During kickdown, you cannot change gears using
the steering wheel paddle shifters. The auto‐
matic transmission shifts up to the next gear
when the maximum engine speed is reached to
protect the engine from overrevving.
Glide mode function
With an anticipatory driving style, glide mode
helps you to reduce fuel consumption.
Glide mode is characterized by the following:
R
The combustion engine is disconnected from
the drivetrain.
R
The engine speed corresponds to the idle
speed.
R
The J symbol appears in the multifunc‐
tion display.
Glide mode is activated if the following condi‐
tions are met:
R
The ECO start/stop function is activated.
R
Drive program = is selected with the
drive setting "Moderate" or "Reduced".
R
The speed is within a suitable range.
R
The road's course is suitable, e.g. no steep
uphill or downhill inclines or tight bends.
R
Mercedes-AMG GT 53 4MATIC+: The
charge level of the battery is sufficient.
R
You are no longer depressing the accelerator
or brake pedal.
Glide mode is deactivated again if one of the
conditions is no longer met.
When Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC is
active, glide mode is not available.
Function of the 4MATIC
4MATIC ensures that all four wheels are driven
when needed. Together with ESP
®
and 4ETS,
4MATIC improves the traction of your vehicle
whenever a driven wheel spins due to insuffi‐
cient tr action.
If you fail to adapt your driving style, 4MATIC can
neither reduce the risk of an accident nor over‐
ride the laws of physics. 4MATIC cannot take
account of road, weather and traff ic conditions.
4MATIC is only an aid. You are responsible for
maintaining a safe distance from the vehicle in
front, for vehicle speed, for braking in good time
and for staying in lane.
%
In wintry road conditions, the maximum
effect of 4MATIC can be achieved only if you
use winter tires (M+S tires), with snow
chains if necessary.
