How to Shift Into 5th Gear in the Mercedes Benz Motorhome

1. Start the motor home engine and press on the brake.
2. Move the gear shift into the D position. When your gear shift is in D, the vehicle will move up and down from first to fifth gear, depending on the current speed and conditions. For the simplest driving experience, and one that gives you the option of being in fifth, simply leave your gear shift in D all the time.
3. Shift your gears up manually, if you so desire, by pressing the gear shift to the right toward the D+ symbol. Move your gears up or down by pressing the shifter toward D+ to shift up, or toward D- to shift down. The gear shown on the display after moving the lever is the highest gear the motor home is set to. If your display shows 4 for example, but now you want to shift to fifth, simply press the lever toward D+ until the D symbol displays. This allows the use of all possible gears, including fifth. That function still does not guarantee your motor home will shift up to fifth, since the transmission is still automatic, but it gives the motor home the option of shifting into fifth.
