"READY" indicator

Hello all. I just picked up my 2021 GLS450 on Wednesday, which added to our 2020 GLE350.

I am seeing the word READY appear by the gear shift indicator while driving. I have not been able to locate any reference to what this word means while reading the operator manual or searching the PDF version.

Can someone give me a hint?

There's a thread on the V167 board that explains it: https://mbworld.org/forums/gle-class...ml#post7947903

"READY shows the drive system's operational readiness" on the 6 cylinder engine with 48V technology.

I think it means the engine is off such as at a traffic light but READY to start when you take your foot off the brake. Not sure though, I'll have to remember to look it at next time I drive.
