Thanks for that lucid description, James....
What is disappointing is that in a Manual of some 500 pages, MB is
unable to devote just one page to this important topic, without the
detailed explanation you have given above. As for the 'system reset'
during servicing, I can find no reference to that anywhere. Strange?

I find that S mode is more economical than C mode, both in my C class and
SLK.
Only by a few miles per gallon, but the car also drives better in S mode (or
more to the way I like to drive anyway).
My A class is a manual and it uses lots of petrol. I struggle to match the
economy of the C class (surprisingly).

Here are even more information about the wonderful 722.6
transmission;

I think the "W" is the same as "C" on later versions.

Very interesting. Thanks for that. 'W' for winter makes sense if it
starts in second gear.
