Does the AMG button do anything other than act as a program button to choose transmission and suspension settings?

It seems when I press the AMG button and move from S+ to M i get rev matching where as just selecting M without hitting the AMG button it just downshifts normally. Then again, I could be completely imaging it.

 

Its just a preset--- the feeling is placebo.

 

I tried turning my traction control off and then with it off and in sport plus mode hitting and holding the amg button, but all it does now when I hit the amg button is go into sport plus mode with the traction control still on? Will it not store traction control off in the amg setting? That is how you store the setting right by hitting and holding the amg button right?

 

The AMG button will NOT control the ESP function. You have to do that separately.

 

ahhh, that explains it.

 

hold the esp button down for a few seconds after u put it in esp sport........then u are on your own...

 

They know this, they were asking if the AMG button controlled such a process and it doesnt as stated.

 

better yet, put it in dyno mode. then you are really on your own

 

I have a 2010 E63 AMG. Does any of this pertain to me?

 

^ Yes i believe you have an AMG button as well. 2010 was the first year they put in the E class

 

Thanks, I was referring to the esp button. Just took it out for some test and found out that holding down on the esp button after you push it switches the traction control all together. Don't remember seeing that in the owners manual.

 

Dyno mode ??? Am I missing something here ?

 

think of it as a favorites button. it saves ur favorite setting
