Observe the notes on parking the vehicle
( page 244).Depress the brake pedal until the vehicle
comes to a standstill.When the vehicle is stationary, press button ] .
When the transmission position display shows
] , the park position is engaged. If the trans-
mission position display ] does not appear,
apply the parking brake and secure the vehicle
to prevent it from rolling away.\bDepending on the situation, it may take a short time until ] is engaged. Therefore,
always pay attention to the transmission posi-
tion display.
Park position ] will be engaged automatically if
one of the following conditions is met:
= You switch the stationary vehicle o"M in trans-
mission position [ or ^.
= You open the driver\bs door when the vehicle is
stationary in transmission position [ or ^.
=
When the vehicle is rolling, you switch if o"M in
transmission position [ or ^ and bring it to
a standstill.
= When the vehicle is rolling, you shi"s to trans-
mission position \\, bring the vehicle to a
standstill and open the driver\bs door when the
vehicle is stationary.
= Engaging park position ] automatically is
required by the vehicle.\bTo maneuver with an open driver\bs door, open
the driver\bs door while the vehicle is station-
ary and engage transmission position [ or
^ again.
qEngaging drive position D
Depress the brake pedal and push the DIRECT
SELECT lever down past the "Nrst point of
resistance.
When the automatic transmission is in transmis-
sion position [, it will shi"s gears automatically.
This depends, among other things, on the follow- ing factors:
= The selected drive program
= The position of the accelerator pedal
=The driving speed
Manual gearshi"sing
*NOTE Mercedes-AMG vehiclesObserve the notes in the Supplement.
You could otherwise fail to recognize
dangers.\bFor plug-in hybrids, observe the information
regarding the regenerative brake system
( page 214).

next gear when maximum engine speed has beenreached.
Glide mode function
With an anticipatory driving style, glide mode
helps you to reduce fuel consumption.
Glide mode is characterized by the following:
= The combustion engine is disconnected from
the drivetrain and is still running in neutral.
= The transmission position display [ is shown
in green.
= Vehicles with 48 V on-board electrical system:
the combustion engine can be switched o"M.
All of the vehicle functions remain active.
Glide mode will be activated if the following condi-
tions are met:
= Drive program is selected.
= The speed is within a suitable range.
= The road\bs course is suitable, e.g. no steep
uphill or downhill gradients or tight bends.
= You do not depress the accelerator or brake
pedal (except for light brake applications).
\bGlide mode can also be activated if you have
selected the "Eco" setting for the drive in drive program .
Glide mode will be deactivated again if one of the
conditions is no longer met.
Glide mode can also be prevented by the following
parameters:
= Incline
= Downhill gradient
= Temperature
= Height
= Speed
= Operating status of the engine
= Tra"Pc situation
Function of 4MATIC
4MATIC ensures that all four wheels are driven. Together with ESP n
and 4ETS, 4MATIC improves
the traction of your vehicle whenever a driven wheel spins due to insu"Pcient traction.
If you fail to adapt your driving style, 4MATIC can
neither reduce the risk of an accident nor override
the laws of physics. 4MATIC cannot take account
of road, weather and tra"Pc conditions. 4MATIC is
only an aid. You are responsible especially for
maintaining a safe distance from the vehicle in front, for vehicle speed, for braking in good time
and for staying in lane.\bIn wintry road conditions, the maximum e"Mect
of 4MATIC can be achieved only if you use
winter tires (M\fS tires), with snow chains if
necessary.
Refueling
Refueling the vehicle
&WARNING Risk of "Nre or explosion from
fuel
Fuels are highly "Oammable.
Fire, open "Oames, smoking and creating
sparks must be avoided.Before refueling, switch o"M the vehicle
and, if installed, the stationary heater,226Driving and parking

Charging the high-voltage battery (plug-in hybrid)
Notes on charging the high-voltage battery
*NOTE High-voltage battery damage due to
leaving the vehicle idle for lengthy periods
of time
Lithium-ion batteries experience a natural self-
discharge.
Exhaustive discharging can therefore occur if
the vehicle is idle for several months. This can
damage the high-voltage battery.
To avoid damage, please observe the fol-
lowing recommendations when handling
the high-voltage battery.*NOTE Accelerated aging of the high-volt-
age battery due to not observing the fol-
lowing recommendations
As a result of its basic characteristics, the storage capacity of and the amount of energy
available from the high-voltage battery decrea-
ses over the course of its life. Due to this, both the maximum electrical range that can be ach-
ieved by the vehicle and its maximum electri-
cal output can be impaired.
The following factors could accelerate the
aging of the high-voltage battery:
= A high condition of charge, especially if the
vehicle is idle for a lengthy period of time
= Frequent rapid charging with direct current
(mode 4)
= Leaving the vehicle idle for lengthy periods
at high ambient temperatures
To avoid accelerated aging, please
observe the following recommendations
when handling the high-voltage battery.Recommendations for handling the high-voltage
battery:
= Charge the high-voltage battery with direct
current (mode 4) only if necessary.
= If leaving the vehicle idle for lengthy periods,
park up the vehicle with a high-voltage battery
state of charge between 25% and 30%. Do not keep the high-voltage battery continuouslyconnected to power supply equipment.
= If leaving the vehicle idle for lengthy periods of
time avoid high ambient temperatures if possi-
ble.
= Check the high-voltage battery\bs state of
charge every six weeks ( page 244).
= Charge the high-voltage battery if the state of
charge is below 15%.
= Do not disconnect the 12 V battery even if the
vehicle is le"s idle for a lengthy period. Other-
wise, the condition of the vehicle\bs high-volt-
age battery cannot be monitored.
= If the high-voltage battery is used only with
low states of charge, fully charge the high-volt-
age battery every six months.230Driving and parking
