Mercedes Classe E - Video tutorial

Model: Mercedes Classe E W213 - Years 2016-2023
Part: Gearbox
Operation: How to use the Mercedes steering wheel automatic transmission.

There are some models of Mercedes that do not have the traditional gear lever that we are used to, but instead have a steering wheel gear shift, albeit automatic. This can be a problem for those who are not accustomed to this type of controls, but let's see how it works. The gears (if we can call them that in an automatic transmission) are displayed on the front screen, and in this moment in the video we can see that the car is parked, as it indicates "P" and "N". To start an automatic car, we must press the brake and the start button. To start the car, we press the brake and click downwards; we will go into "D" which stands for drive. To stop, we press the brake and click the button on the satellite, which allows us to put the car in "P", that is, in parking mode. If we want to put it in reverse, we press the brake and push the lever upwards. This way, we take it out of the parking mode, and by pushing it further up, we enter reverse gear, and the rearview camera also activates. There are also paddle shifters on the steering wheel, which can be used when putting the vehicle in sport mode.
