Controls in detail Automatic transmission Automatic transmission For more information on driving with an automatic transmission, see "Automatic transmission" ( page 46). Your vehicle's transmission adapts its gear shifting process to your individual driving style by continually adjusting the shift points up or down. These shift point adjustments are performed based on current operating and driving conditions. If the operating conditions change, the automatic transmission reacts by adjusting its shift program. i During the brief warm-up, transmission upshifting is delayed. This allows the catalytic converter to heat up more quickly to operating temperature. The automatic transmission selects individual gears automatically, depending on: the gear selector lever position D ( page 177) with gear ranges ( page 176) the selected program mode: (C/S) ( page 179) or (M/C/S) (S 55 AMG only) ( page 183) the position of the accelerator pedal ( page 180) the vehicle speed Gearshift pattern for automatic transmission 173
