How to shift gears in a Mercedes-Benz S400L?
1 Answers
Mercedes-Benz uses a column shifter, which means the gear lever is located below the steering wheel. The column shifter is one of the gear lever arrangement forms in cars, where you pull the gear lever towards you to shift gears. The electronic shifter can only be operated when the key is in position 2 or the vehicle is started. Shifting gears allows the engine to operate at its optimal performance state. All driving conditions have corresponding shift points, aiming to reduce fuel consumption. The gear arrangement pattern is the same as that of a regular automatic transmission. Pulling it upwards sequentially engages N (Neutral) and R (Reverse) gears, pulling it downwards engages D (Drive) gear, and pressing the P button engages the P (Park) gear.
