How to turn off the S indicator on the Mercedes dashboard?
1 Answers
Mercedes dashboard displaying S can be turned off using the mode switch located below the gear lever. The S gear represents the car's sport mode, where the vehicle's performance is fully highlighted in this mode: the suspension becomes stiffer with stronger support, the throttle responds more quickly, the engine intake increases, and acceleration becomes very rapid, though fuel consumption also increases significantly. Generally, only performance cars have this mode. Since the S gear only delays upshifting without altering other operational aspects, it inevitably increases the transmission load and temperature in the short term, leading to accelerated wear. Therefore, it is advisable not to use the S gear for extended periods. Mercedes-Benz is a German luxury car brand, the inventor of the automobile, and is considered one of the world's most successful premium car brands.
