Drive program I (Individual)
In drive program I the following properties of the
drive program can be selected:
R
the drive (engine and transmission manage-
ment)
R
the suspension (vehicles with damping sys-
tem or AMG adaptive sport suspension sys-
tem)
R
the steering
R
the availability of the ECO start/stop function
R
the climate control
Information about configuring drive program I
with the multimedia system can be found in the
Digital Operator's Manual.

To permanently select the gears in drive
program I using the steering wheel paddle
shifters, select the M (manual) setting for the
drive.
Drive program E (Economy)
Drive program E is characterized by the follow-
ing:
R
comfort-oriented engine settings.
R
optimal fuel consumption resulting from the
automatic transmission shifting up sooner.
R
the vehicle pulls away more gently in forward
and reverse gears, unless the accelerator
pedal is depressed fully.
R
the vehicle has improved driving stability, for
example on slippery road surfaces.
R
the automatic transmission shifting up
sooner. This results in the vehicle being driven
at lower engine speeds and the wheels being
less likely to spin.
R
gliding mode is activated automatically when
engine-internal conditions are fulfilled and
the accelerator is not depressed. At the same
time the transmission’s clutch opens and the
vehicle rolls freely using its kinetic energy. As
a result great distances can be completed
without the engine brake and fuel consump-
tion reduced.
i The availability of gliding mode depends on
various factors, including the following:
R
the engine and transmission temperature
R
the downhill gradient
R
the vehicle speed
R
performing regular adaptation functions
When you depress the brake pedal, gliding
mode is deactivated, depending on pedal
pressure.
When you activate cruise control or Active
Distance Assist DISTRONIC, gliding mode is
not available.

Drive program S is characterized by the follow-
ing:
R
the vehicle exhibits sporty driving character-
istics.
R

The fuel consumption possibly being higher
as a result of the later automatic transmission
shift points.
R
the suspension exhibits stiff springing and
damping settings (vehicles with AIR adaptive
sport suspension system).
