Can someone explain the modes to me? Like C mode etc.?

I tried a search but couldn't come up with anything worthwhile.

It looks like these are the different modes to be in while driving? Is there a list with explanations etc.

cornfed gtr and m3
C mode is comfort mode. Then you have sport I and sport II, each of these setting will just tighten the suspension up a little more while also lowering the car.

06 E55, 03FORD P/S,01 E320-4M,99 ML320,O4 E55,05 RUBICON UNLIMITED,
C MODE STARTS IN 2ND GEAR,UNLESS MORE THROTTLE INPUT IS MADE THEN IT WILL GO INTO 1ST. IT WILL ALSO HOLD THE CAR ON A HILL FROM ROLLING FORWARD OR REVERSE.EXAMPLE, IN DRIVE FRONT END FACING UPHILL,TRANS WILL NOT ALLOW CAR TO ROLL BACKWARDS WHEN TAKING FOOT OFF OF THE BRAKE,BACKING UPHILL IN REVERSE, TRANS WILL NOT ALLOW CAR TO ROLL FORWARD W/ FOOT OFF BRAKE.S MODE WILL ALLOW CAR TO ROLL OPP. DIRECTION W/ FOOT OFF OF BRAKE.OF COURSE THIS IS WHEN THE CAR IS AT IDLE. C MODE IS ALSO SUPPOSED TO HAVE THE TRANS SHIFT SOFTER/ SOONER WHEREAS S MODE IS LATER/ FIRMER SHIFTS. THE ROLL BACK FEATURE? IS NOT A MB DESIGN,IT'S JUST HAPPENED TO BE THAT WAY W/ THE DESIGN OF THE TRANS. THE REVERSE RATIO IS ALSO DIFFERENT,IN S MODE IT HAS A LOWER RATIO THAN C MODE. YOU CAN TRY THIS IN A MULTI LEVEL PARKING GARAGE IF YOU HAVE NO HILLS IN YOUR AREA.HOPE THAT GIVES YOU A LITTLE MORE INFO.

Of course you've consulted you owners manual and still have questions about it?
