Maximum acceleration: depressthe accel‐
erator pedal be yond the pressure point.
To protect against engine overrev ,th e automatic
transmission shifts up tothe next gear when
maximum engine speed has been reached. Glide mode function
Wi
th an anticipatory driving style, Glide mode
helps youto reduce fuel consum ption.
Glide mode is characterised bythefo llowing:
R The combustion engine is disconnected from
th e driv etra in and continues torun in neutral.
R The transmission position displ ayh is
shown in green.
R Vehicles with 48 V on-board electrical
sy stem (EQ-Boost technology): The com‐
bustion engine can be switched off. All of the
ve hicle functions remain active. Glide mode is activated if
thefo llowing condi‐
tions are me t:
R Drive prog ram ; is selected.
R The speed is within a suita blerange.
R The road's course is suitable, e.g. no steep
uphill or downhill inclines or tight bends.
R There is no trailer hitched up tothe trailer
hitch, and no bicycle rack Fitted.
R You do not depress the accelera tor or brake
pedal (e xcept for light brake applications).
% Glide mode can also be activated if you ha ve
selected the "Eco" setting forth e drive in the
drive prog ram =.
Glide mode is deactivated again if one of the
conditions is no longer met.
Glide mode can also be pr evented bythefo llow‐
ing parame ters:
R Incline
R Downhill gradient
R Temp erature
R Height R

R Operating status of the engine
R Traf fic situation Fu
nction of the 4MATIC
4MATIC ensures that all four wheels are driven.
To ge ther with ESP ®
and 4ETS, 4MATIC impr oves
th e traction of your vehicle whene ver a driven
wheel spins due toinsuf ficient traction.
If yo ufa ilto adapt your driving style, 4MATIC can
neither reduce therisk of an accident nor over‐
ri de the la wsof ph ysics. 4MATIC cannot take
account of road, weather and traf fic conditions.
4MATIC is only an aid. You are responsible espe‐
cially for maintaining a safe dis tance from the
ve hicle in front, forve hicle speed, for braking in
good time and forst ay ing in lane.
% In wint ryroad conditions, the maximum
ef fect of 4MATIC can be achie ved only if you
use winter tyres (M+S tyres), with sn ow
ch ains if necessar y. Driving and pa

Kickd
own
If yo u depress the accelerator pedal be yond the
pressure point (kickdown), theva riable limiter
swit ches topassive mode. The Èpassive
message appears on the driver displa y.
Af ter completion of kickdown, theva riable lim‐
iter is activated again in thefo llowing situations:
R Ifth eve hicle speed drops below thestored
speed.
R Ifth estored speed is called up.
R Ifyo ustore a new speed.
Information on the permanent limiter
If th eve hicle should ne verexc eed a specific
speed (e.g. for driving in winter tyre mode), you
can set this speed with the permanent limiter.
Yo u do this by limiting the speed between
16 0 km/h and 240 km/h in the multimedia sys‐
te m (/ page 229).
Shortly before the set speed is reached, it is
shown in the driver displa y.When you confirm
th e message, display messages no longer appear
until you swit choff theve hicle. The speed will only be displa
yed again once theve hicle has
been restar ted or if the set speed is changed.
The permanent limiter does not swit chtopas‐
sive mode even du ring kickdown and the driven
speed remains below the set speed.
