Emergency operation (Limp-Home
Mode)

If vehicle acceleration becomes less re-
sponsive or sluggish or the transmission
no longer shifts, the transmission is most
likely operating in limp-home (emergency
operation) mode. In this mode only second
gear and reverse gear can be activated.

Stop the vehicle in a safe location.

Shift to park position P.

Turn off the engine.

Wait at least 10 seconds before
restarting.

Restart the engine.

Shift to drive position D (for second
gear) or reverse gear R.

Have the transmission checked at an
authorized Mercedes-Benz Light Truck
Center as soon as possible.
