Gliding mode is deactivated under the followingconditions:
RYou depress the accelerator pedal.
RYou depress the brake pedal.
RYou change the transmission position(Ypage 141).
RYou switch to drive programRACE(Mercedes-AMG GLC 63 S 4MATIC),S+orS(Ypage 139).
Ryou activate manual gearshifting(Ypage 147).
Ryou leave the suitable speed range.
iIf you have selected the "Eco" or "Comfort"(Mercedes-AMG GLC 63 4MATIC/GLC 63 S 4MATIC) setting for the drive(engine and transmission management) indrive programI, you can also activate glidingmode. Information on DYNAMIC SELECT andon configuring drive programIwith the mul-timedia system (see the Digital Operator'sManual).
Towing a trailer
XDrive in the middle of the engine speed rangeon uphill gradients.
XManual shifting:depending on the uphill ordownhill gradient, shift into a gear(Ypage 147), in which the engine will run themiddle of the engine speed range.
This also applies if cruise control or ActiveDistance Assist DISTRONIC is activated.
Drive programs
All vehicles except Mercedes-AMG GLC
63 4MATIC+/GLC 63 S 4MATIC+
Drive program I (Individual)
In drive programIthe following properties of thedrive program can be selected:
Rthe drive (engine and transmission manage-ment)
and therefore indirectly the availability of glid-ing mode and the properties of the driverassistance systems
Rthe suspension
Rthe steering
Rthe availability of the ECO start/stop function
Rthe climate control
Information about configuring drive programIwith the multimedia system can be found under"DYNAMIC SELECT" in the vehicle's DigitalOperator's Manual.
Drive program S+ (Sport Plus)
Drive programS+is characterized by the fol-lowing:
Rthe vehicle exhibits particularly sporty drivingcharacteristics.
Rthe vehicle pulls away in first gear.
Rthe automatic transmission shifts up later.The fuel consumption possibly being higheras a result of the later automatic transmissionshift points.
Rthe suspension exhibits particularly stiffspringing and damping settings (vehicles withAIR BODY CONTROL).
Rgliding mode is not available.
Rthe ECO start/stop function is deactivated(Ypage 136).
Drive program S (Sport)
Drive programSis characterized by the follow-ing:
Rthe vehicle exhibits sporty driving character-istics.
Rthe vehicle pulls away in first gear.
Rthe automatic transmission shifts up later.The fuel consumption possibly being higheras a result of the later automatic transmissionshift points.
Rthe suspension exhibits stiff springing anddamping settings (vehicles withAIR BODY CONTROL).
Rgliding mode is not available.
Rthe ECO start/stop function is activated(Ypage 136).
Drive program C (Comfort)
Drive programCis characterized by the follow-ing:
Rthe vehicle delivers comfortable, economicalhandling characteristics.
Rthe vehicle pulls away more gently in forwardand reverse gears, unless the acceleratorpedal is depressed fully.
Rthe vehicle has improved driving stability, forexample on slippery road surfaces.

braking maneuvers. Do not use cruise control orActive Distance Assist DISTRONIC.
If the vehicle threatens to skid or cannot bestopped when moving at low speed:
XShift the transmission to position\\.
The outside temperature indicator is notdesigned to serve as an ice-warning device andis therefore unsuitable for that purpose.Changes in the outside temperature are dis-played after a short delay.
Indicated temperatures just above the freezingpoint do not guarantee that the road surface isfree of ice. The road may still be icy, especially inwooded areas or on bridges. The vehicle couldskid if you fail to adapt your driving style. Alwaysadapt your driving style and drive at a speed tosuit the prevailing weather conditions.
You should pay special attention to road condi-tions when temperatures are around freezingpoint.
For more information on driving with snowchains, see (Ypage 332).
For more information on driving with summertires, see (Ypage 332).
Observe the notes in the "Winter operation" sec-tion (Ypage 332).

Cruise control
General notes
Cruise control maintains a constant road speedfor you. It brakes automatically in order to avoidexceeding the set speed. Change into a lower
gear in good time on long and steep downhillgradients. This is especially important if thevehicle is laden or towing a trailer. By doing so,you will make use of the braking effect of theengine. This relieves the load on the brake sys-tem and prevents the brakes from overheatingand wearing too quickly.
Use cruise control only if road and traffic con-ditions make it appropriate to maintain a steadyspeed for a prolonged period. You can store anyroad speed above 20 mph (30 km/h).
Important safety notes
Cruise control can neither reduce the risk of anaccident if you fail to adapt your driving style noroverride the laws of physics. Cruise control can-not take into account the road, traffic andweather conditions. Cruise control is only anaid. You are responsible for maintaining a safedistance to the vehicle in front, for vehiclespeed, for braking in good time and for staying inlane.
Do not use cruise control:
Rin road and traffic conditions which do notallow you to maintain a constant speed, e.g. inheavy traffic or on winding roads
Ron slippery road surfaces. Braking or accel-erating could cause the drive wheels to losetraction and the vehicle could then skid
Rwhen there is poor visibility, e.g. due to fog,heavy rain or snow
If there is a change of drivers, advise the newdriver of the speed stored.
iThe speed indicated in the speedometermay differ slightly from the speed stored.

possible deceleration. If this deceleration is
not sufficient, Active Distance Assist
DISTRONIC alerts you with a visual and acous-
tic warning. There is a risk of an accident.
Adjust your speed in these cases and main-
tain sufficient distance. Apply the brakes
yourself and try to take evasive action.
!When Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC orthe HOLD function is activated, the vehiclebrakes automatically in certain situations.
To avoid damage to the vehicle, deactivateActive Distance Assist DISTRONIC and theHOLD function in the following or similar sit-uations:
Rwhen towing the vehicle
Rin the car wash
Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC can neitherreduce the risk of an accident if you fail to adaptyour driving style, nor override the laws of phys-ics. Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC cannottake into account road, weather or traffic con-ditions. Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC isonly an aid. You are responsible for maintaininga safe distance to the vehicle in front, for vehiclespeed, for braking in good time and for staying inlane.
Do not use Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC:
RIn road and traffic conditions which do notallow you to maintain a constant speed, e.g. inheavy traffic or on winding roads
ROn slippery road surfaces. Braking or accel-erating could cause the drive wheels to losetraction and the vehicle could then skid
RIn poor visibility, e.g. due to fog, heavy rain orsnow
Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC may notdetect narrow vehicles driving in front, e.g.motorcycles, or vehicles driving in a staggeredformation.
In particular, the detection of obstacles can beimpaired if:
RThere is dirt on the sensors or anything elsecovering the sensors
RThere is snow or heavy rain
RThere is interference by other radar sources
RThere are strong radar reflections, for exam-ple in parking garages
If Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC no longerdetects a vehicle in front, Distance Pilot
DISTRONIC may unexpectedly accelerate to thespeed stored.
This speed may:
RBe too high if you are driving in a turning laneor an exit lane
Rbe so high in the right lane that you pass vehi-cles driving on the left (in countries wherethey drive on the right)
Rbe so high in the left lane that you pass vehi-cles driving on the right (in countries wherethey drive on the left)
If there is a change of drivers, advise the newdriver of the speed stored.
