Programming the AMG Drive Unit for different functions (e.g., PE on/off)

Is there a way to add turning the PE on/off to the AMG Drive Unit?

I only have 450ish miles on the car, so I haven't played around with all the modes yet. Just doing a lot of driving in C, varying my RPMs.

If there's a place in the manual that addresses this, that'll suffice too. Thanks in advance.

Hmmm... Did you try tapping (or pressing on the screen) to see if it switches to the PE controls, then you can use the buttons to turn it on and off.

Hi as commented above. You need to press the screen. One of each in the left, until appears the exhaust icon.

Then pushing the button on the top of you change the status (on/off). The scroll button on the right it's just changing modes, if you push it it changes directly to the individual mode.

Yes, the exhaust should be one of the functions. As said, the small display for each of the buttons is a button itself and if you press it you can change the function that it controls. I have the transmission and exhaust function on mine like in the following picture.

I have not, but I am now! I had no idea that the screen itself had functionality. Thanks bud.

Many thanks superswiss. That's exactly the configuration I'm going for.
