Controls in detail Automatic transmission Automatic transmission For more information on driving with an automatic transmission see "Automatic transmission" ( page 48). 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 167) with gear ranges ( page 170) the selected program mode: (C/S) ( page 171) or (M/C/S) (CL 55 AMG and CL 65 AMG only) ( page 175) the position of the accelerator pedal ( page 169) the vehicle speed Gearshift pattern for automatic transmission 165
