Newie to the Forum - just bought a cls55 AMG
Hi everyone,
I've just bought a cls55 amg last week. It's 2006 black with black leather. It's got the 19" 5 spoke AMG wheels and I'm loving apart from the mpg! Lol
Anyway I was advised by a forum in the UK that this is the best forum for the cls55 amg. So here I am. Hopefully I could learn lots from you all about the car and when I've saved a little more money the mods I could do. It fab the way it is but I'm sure there is room for a little improvement.
Quick question; what does the m, c, & s button used for and what do they stand for. Im still waiting for the full vehicle pack from the merc dealers.
Also suspension setting when I press the button it's comfort, sport 1 and sport 2. Is sport 2 the most sporty setting?
That's alll for now but I will be updating my profile with a few pics. It's a shame I haven't been able to drive it due to snowy weather here in the UK. Being rear drive I didnt want to risk anything.
Regards, Azam

Answer to your question: M = manual, C = comfort, and S = sport
Controls the behavior of the transmission shifting.
Sport 2 is indeed the most sporty setting - the only one I use on my car.
Would recommend you download the user manual (available online) and study it as it has much information on the console switches.

M, C, S button
Hi Curtis and thanks for the quick reply. Please could you provide me with the URL to download the cls55 manual.
Also to get my head around this, so if in the M mode I can then change gears manually using the steering flappy things or the gear stick itself?
If in C mode then it automatic grandpa style driving?
If in S mode then the beast is alive and I can use both automatic and steering flappy things?
Also is the sport mode the best or up to individual preference?
Thanks.

congrats BFD boy! I also just bought a CLS55, black but with two tone tan/black interior. I enjoy driving my car in sport mode with sport II suspension. I occasionally switch to m mode if i want to give it full throttle but want to shift to taller gears without redlining the engine.

ThAnks all for the messages...I had the car out yesterday.. What can I say, I loved every minute of it. Just so much power, torque and the sound of the exhaust. I noticed lots of heads turning and the cockpit is a nice to be in also... The only thing tat I was shocked with was the MPG showing 11.4mpg lol!
So just to get this right the 'M' setting allows longer revs within the gears as oppose to 'S' mode?
I've also noticed a bit of bubbling on the wheels, there is warranty on the car do you think Mercedes will fix this under the warranty? Have any of you claimed against this?
Thanks. Azam
