How to Operate the Gear Shift in a Mercedes-Benz?

[LeKaleb]

Mercedes-Benz gear shift operation method is as follows: 1. First, start the engine, simply pull the column shifter downward to engage D (Drive) gear, then press the accelerator to move. If you need to temporarily shift into N (Neutral) gear while waiting at a traffic light, push the lever upward to N gear. 2. Similarly, if you need to reverse, push the lever upward to R (Reverse) gear. However, this can only be done after the vehicle has come to a complete stop. To engage P (Park) gear, simply press the button on the lever after stopping the vehicle. More details: 1. Unlike models with traditional or electronic gear levers, many Mercedes-Benz models feature a column shifter design. The column shifter is located on the right side of the steering wheel, where traditional models have the windshield wiper lever. 2. The column shifter mechanism is positioned behind the steering wheel, named for its operation resembling pulling the lever within one's arms. The main advantage of this design is space-saving, providing ample room between the driver and front passenger.
