2016 MERCEDES-BENZ AMG GT ROADSTER change wheel

Have accessories retrofitted at a qualified
specialist workshop.
You could jeopardise the operating safety of
your vehicle if you use parts, tyres and wheels as
well as accessories relevant to safety that have not been approved by Mercedes-Benz. This
could lead to malfunctions in safety-relevant
systems, e.g. the brake system. Use only genu-
ine Mercedes-Benz parts or parts of equal qual- ity. Use only tyres, wheels and accessories that
have been specifically approved for your vehi-
cle.
Mercedes-Benz tests genuine parts and conver-
sion parts and accessories that have been spe-
cifically approved for your vehicle for their reli-
ability, safety and suitability. Despite ongoing
market research, Mercedes-Benz is unable to
assess other parts. Mercedes-Benz therefore
accepts no responsibility for the use of such
parts in Mercedes-Benz vehicles, even if they
have been officially approved or independently
approved by a testing centre.
In Germany, certain parts are officially approved for installation or modification only if they com-
ply with legal requirements. This also applies to some other countries. All genuine Mercedes-
Benz parts meet the approval requirements. The
use of non-approved parts may invalidate the
vehicle's general operating permit.
This is the case:
R if they cause a change of the vehicle type from
that for which the vehicle's general operating permit was granted
R if other road users could be endangered
R if the emission or noise levels are adversely
affected
Always specify the vehicle identification number (VIN) (Y page 276) when ordering genuine
Mercedes-Benz parts. Owner's Manual
Vehicle equipment
i This Owner's Manual describes all models
and all standard and optional equipment
available for your vehicle at the time of pub-
lication of the Owner's Manual. Country-spe-
cific differences are possible. Note that your
vehicle may not be fitted with all features
described. This is also the case for systems
and functions relevant to safety. Therefore, the equipment on your vehicle may differ from
that in the descriptions and illustrations.
The original purchase contract documentation
for your vehicle contains a list of all the systems in your vehicle.
Should you have any questions concerning
equipment and operation, please consult a
Mercedes-Benz Service Centre.
The Owner's Manual and Service Booklet are
important documents and should be kept in the
vehicle. Operating safety

WARNING
If you do not have the prescribed service/
maintenance work or necessary repairs car-
ried out, this could result in malfunctions or
system failures. There is a risk of an accident. Always have the prescribed service/mainte-
nance work as well as necessary repairs car-
ried out at a qualified specialist workshop. G
WARNING
Flammable material such as leaves, grass or
twigs may ignite if they come into contact with hot parts of the exhaust system. There is a risk of fire.
When driving off road or on unpaved roads,
check the vehicle's underside regularly. In
particular, remove parts of plants or other
flammable materials which have become
trapped. In the case of damage, contact a
qualified specialist workshop. G
WARNING
Modifications to electronic components, their software as well as wiring could affect their
function and/or the operation of other net-
worked components. This could in particular
also be the case for systems relevant to
safety. They might not function properly any-
more and/or jeopardise the operational
safety of the vehicle. There is an increased
risk of an accident and injury. Operating safety
23Introduction
Z

Do not attempt to modify the wiring as well as
electronic components or their software.
Always have work on electrical and electronic
components carried out at a qualified special- ist workshop.
If you make any changes to the vehicle elec-
tronics, the general operating permit is ren-
dered invalid.
! There is a risk of damage to the vehicle if:
R the vehicle becomes stuck, e.g. on a high
kerb or an unpaved road
R you drive too quickly over an obstacle, e.g.
a kerb, slowing thresholds or a pothole in
the road
R a heavy object strikes the underbody or
parts of the chassis
In situations like this, the body, underbody,
chassis parts, wheels or tyres could be dam-
aged without the damage being visible. Com- ponents damaged in this way can unexpect-
edly fail or, in the case of an accident, no lon-
ger withstand the strain they are designed to withstand.
If the underbody panelling is damaged, com-
bustible materials such as leaves, grass or
twigs can gather between the underbody and
the underbody panelling. If these materials
come into contact with hot parts of the
exhaust system, they can catch fire.
In such situations, have the vehicle checked
and repaired immediately at a qualified spe-
cialist workshop. If, on continuing your jour-
ney, you notice that driving safety is impaired,
stop the vehicle immediately, paying atten-
tion to road and traffic conditions. In such
cases, consult a qualified specialist work-
shop. Declarations of conformity

The automatic transmission changes
gear automatically in the automatic
drive programs (Y page 114). All
forward gears are available. Driving tips
Changing gear The automatic transmission shifts to the indi-
vidual gears automatically when it is in trans-
mission position D. Gearshifting is determined
by:
R the selected drive program (Y page 108)
R the position of the accelerator pedal
R the road speed
Accelerator pedal position Your style of driving influences how the auto-
matic transmission shifts gear:
R little throttle: early upshifts
R more throttle: late upshifts
A dynamic driving style with high longitudinal
and lateral acceleration delays the shift points
to higher engine speeds. Double-clutch function When shifting down, the double-clutch function
is active regardless of the currently selected
drive program. The double-clutch function
reduces load change reactions and is conducive to a sporty driving style. The sound generated by
the double-clutch function depends on the drive program selected.
Kickdown Use kickdown for maximum acceleration:
X In the automatic drive programs, depress the
accelerator pedal beyond the pressure point.
Depending on the engine speed and the selec- ted drive program, the automatic transmis-
sion shifts to the lowest gear permissible to
give optimal acceleration.
X Ease off the accelerator pedal once the
desired speed is reached.
The automatic transmission shifts back up.
Kickdown is not available in manual mode M.
Rocking the vehicle free Rocking the vehicle free by shifting the trans-
mission repeatedly between transmission posi-
tions Dand Rmay help to free the vehicle if it has
become stuck in mud or snow.
The vehicle's transmission management
restricts repeated shifting between gears Dand
R up to a maximum speed of 9 km/h.
To shift back and forth between transmission
positions Dand R, move the E-SELECT lever up
and down past the point of resistance.

Shifting gears
If you pull on the left or right-hand steering
wheel gearshift paddle, the automatic transmis-
sion switches to temporary manual drive pro-
gram for a limited amount of time. Depending on which gearshift paddle is pulled, the automatic
transmission immediately shifts into the next
gear up or down, if permitted.
X To shift up: pull the right-hand steering wheel
gearshift paddle (Y page 113).
The automatic transmission shifts up to the
next gear.
If the maximum engine speed on the currently engaged gear is reached and you continue to
accelerate, the automatic transmission auto-
matically shifts up in order to prevent engine
damage.
The automatic transmission will not shift up to
the next gear when the engine speed is very
low.
X To shift down: pull on the left-hand steering
wheel gearshift paddle (Y page 113).
The automatic transmission shifts down to
the next gear.
If the engine exceeds the maximum engine
speed when shifting down, the automatic
transmission protects against engine damage by not shifting down.
Automatic downshifting occurs when coast-
ing.
When using kickdown, the automatic trans-
mission automatically shifts to a lower gear.
Deactivating If you have activated temporary manual drive
program, it will remain active for a certain
amount of time. Under certain conditions the
minimum amount of time is extended, e.g. in the
case of lateral acceleration, during an overrun
phase or when driving on steep terrain.
When temporary manual drive program is deac-
tivated, the automatic transmission shifts into
the automatic drive program that was last selec-
ted. You can also deactivate temporary manual drive
program yourself:
X Pull on the right-hand steering wheel gearshift
paddle and hold it in place (Y page 113).
or
X Use the DYNAMIC SELECT controller to
change the drive program (Y page 108).
