Re: [diesel_mercedes] RE: How do you drive an automatic?

 

There is actually a lot more than meets the eye here.........
 
I have heard the "mercedes shift" is pronounced on first to second, and that is a fact. I back off the gas slightly when it gets ready to shift, and through each shift pattern I
 am fully aware of what I need to do so much, in fact it's an automatic function in my foot
I adjust my gas pedal usage to fit the shift; i.e I back off slightly and let the tranny shift  as it will.

It's an art. But we do it willingly.........

If the transmission is shifting a lot on a twisty steep uphill I put it in S and when going down the same hill I use S.
On a rough dirt road I use first. The car tells me which to uses, if it is shifting a bunch I help it by selecting a lower gear.
What a joy to have automatics, used to drive a "two sticker" 5 gears in the main and 4 in the aux, kinda fun when you needed to shiftem both at the same time, I hate driving standards nowadays.
