I think my CLK55 had something strange going on w/its traction control....from what others told me, their cars didn't do this, but basically if traction control was disabled, I'd get no intervention whatsoever, and I can relate. Originally Posted by aleksandar1099

Turned it off one time in perfectly dry and warm conditions and took an off-camber corner with a bit more throttle than needed, and wham!! Out snapped, and I do mean snapped, the back end....I was around pert near 90 degrees when I caught it, and had I not caught it I'd have probably gone ***-end first into a curb with loads of people watching.
I'd always had limited slips in the high-powered cars prior to that one, and wasn't quite ready for how quick and uncontrolled the back and came out...Mercedes should really make LSD standard on all AMGs, the turds! It definitely makes a big difference on this one, *much* more progressive.

how do you get to dyno mode? and the AMG logo on command trick will work with the 63 right?

You will have to hit the search button to get into Dyno mode.

I can't get the AMG up on my 09 63 no matter what. I'm guessing because the radio is newer and different then the older models???

I have found two MB owners who were unaware that they had a six disc changer accessed by hitting that little silver button. Pretty lame, and not just specific to AMG's, but funny that many people don't know where the changer is.

They were probably expecting them to be conveniently located in either the glovebox or the trunk as with past (and, sadly, *still* some present) models! Originally Posted by Zax63

A lot know this, but for those who don't, aux-in in the glovebox.

The other thing I wonder is how much traction you were dealing with? The reason I say what I do is from playing at the 1/4 mile track with DRs on. Note there is a huge difference between spinning the tires and laying rubber down. I could NEVER get the rears lit up well with just ESP off. i could spin them all day, but i couldn't grind the power into the pavement steadily.
I'll look up my book and list the exact parameters that are different. One that i remeber is the angle of lean between the flip sensors in the front end. They can not go past a threshold side to side. This feature is set to avoid a flip over, but dyno mode shuts it off 100%. Other features are that all SRS and safety features are completely shut off in Dyno mode.
Last thing.....why would MB put the time into having the Dyno mode if you got the exact same coding from pushing a button? It is simply a liability issue.
does dyno mode turn off abs as well ?Originally Posted by jangy
Show me a 4 wheel drift with sustained power. I have never seen an E55 keep giving power after a moment of the front wheels sliding SIDEWAYS.

. Basically, share with us some 'hidden' options/features that might not be evident to other E55 owners.
Maybe this can become a sticky if we can get some good info.
Please begin....

I found this out after 3 months of ownership after reading this article and looking at the picture...http://www.autozeitung.de/files/pdf/0090000/90749.pdf

I wouldn't think so but only way to find out is to try it- depends on if they built it in or not. Let us know if it works out for you. Originally Posted by SurgeSi

I'll try it out tomorrow
And let you know if it works

Newb question but what exactly is dyno mode?
It is basically used when the car is to be put up on the dyno, duh right,
but it turns off traction control COMPLETELY, turns off abs and turns the car into a smoking machine!!
Search it and you will find how to turn it on.... but be VERY AWARE, it is not for the faint of heart!!

While driving - You can close all the windows + sunroof by holding the recycle air button. If you press it one more time back to fresh air mode, the windows + sunroof will open back up to what you had it set on before.
Out Of Control!!
