Shifting gears

Mercedes-AMG vehicles: the automatic
transmission does not shift up automatically
even when the engine limiting speed for the
current gear is reached. When the engine
limiting speed is reached, the fuel supply is
cut to prevent the engine from overrevving.
Always make sure that the engine speed
does not reach the red area of the tachome-
ter. There is otherwise a risk of engine dam-
age.

All vehicles (except Mercedes-AMG vehi-

currently engaged gear is reached and you
