7 speed automatic?

Hello again, have another question for you guys.

I just checked the info sheet (sheet that has all the options listed/price/mpg ect) for my dads 06' E350 and it says it comes with a 'Driver Adaptive 7-Spd Automatic Transmission with Touch Shift.

The gears only go up to 6 so where is this missing 7th gear

As always, many thanks

The 7th gear is D. If you downshift it will say 6. You dont have the M mode in your E350 like an E63 does where you can shift it by yourself all the way up to 7th gear.
