Transmission question on 97 sl600

I am brining home my new to me '97 SL600 tomorrow. Yesterday while test-driving it I noticed that the gear selector showed 1, 2, 3, 4 and D. I thought it was a five speed? What am I missing?

It is a five speed. D = 5th; when you put it in 4, it doesn't up-shift into 5th.
