Sudden Transmission limp mode

Hi there, my C200k Avantgaurd had a very strange issue. from stand still at robots she went into limp mode in comfort mode. switch her into manual mode driving and was hardly to move in 1st gear, I then decided to start off in 2nd gear which was better but she still struggled, after 40min of driving I stopped and parked the vehicle, after 2hrs I returned and drove off with these symptoms completely gone, I drove it in comfort and sport mode and it was fine. During the limp mode I was also unable to get kick down/overdrive.
Last service B 180000km currently 212000km on clock.
No error codes before, after or during this incident.
Please advise on cause...
The vehicle is generally slow on take off.

2 days later I performed a gas pedal resetand since then this never happened again.

Who knows why,except that with the kickdown you returned the transmission to the factory shift pattern----that's a good thing!!
