Never heard of double clutch in any context other than dual clutch transmissions (DCT) of which the 7gtronic is not. I find the normal auto in the c200 very old fashioned and unpleasant, worst feature of the car bar the rattly 4 cyl engine. Car is lovely otherwise.
I find entries like this in the user manual completely pointless as they say nothing of any use.

I think "double clutch" is used as a verb there, not as a noun as in a "dual clutch". It's an action the tranny takes to rapidly engage/disengage/engage during gear changes like you can in a manual with a clutch. Just my guess. MB is famous for taking ordinary things and giving them magical sounding names in their literature.
