2022 GLC 300 4 MATIC
2022 GLC transmission

I have a 2022 GLC 4Matic I bought used in December with 12K miles, a CPO.

I've noticed on a cold startup the transmission is in "C" mode and it shows it's in 1st gear. I drive off in either C or E mode and it has a harsh 1st to 2nd shift. All the other gear changes are fine.

When I come to the first stop sign, 500 feet or so, it doesn't shift to 1st, always starts in 2nd and continues like that.

Is a 1st gear start used only in sport or sport+ mode? The transmission shifts fine after the first shift when cold. It seems the warmer the trans fluid gets the smoother it shifts.

So, starting out in 2nd gear in modes other than sport is normal?
