That resets the transmission's shift patterns.
I stumbled across this old thread on MBWorld. I don't know if it's applicable to just AMG 202s or all, but I figured I'd share the info. The previous owner of my C43 drove a lot in winter mode to save gas, so I thought this would be good for me. I did this, and drove. I touch the gas, my head hits the headrest violently. I seriously thought my tranny was on crack cocaine it was working so well. I advise everyone to try this and see if it works for you like it did for me, I'm VERY happy with my C43 right now
ECU RESET AS FOLLOWS 1.TURN KEY TO ON POSITION. 2.FLOOR ACCELERATOR HOLD FOR 5 SECONDS, TURN KEY TO OFF POSITION DO NOT REMOVE KEY RELEASE ACCELERATOR .DO NOT OPEN DOOR WINDOWS ETC.3.WAIT 2-3 MIN.FOR COMPUTER TO RESET.Start car drive aggressively for approx 10 miles.The computer will 'tailor' itself for a more aggressive performace.This worked very well on my car and you can definatly feel the difference especially if the car has been driven lazily for a whil.Like A SHOT IN THE A@@!!

If you want to reset the ECU just kill the battery for about 15 seconds.

I just did this again then just put it to the floor for 10 minutes n holly shit! I forgot the difference it made
Just note that the transmission learns your driving patterns as you drive. The harder you drive, the longer it holds each gear.

True that, but it kicks down way quicker to get to the power because for a while it wouldn't go to third at like 60 it'd only go to 4th unless I did it manually lol
Ive read about this, but i heard its only like 97+ cars? I have a 96 280. Anyone know if itll work?

What exactly is this adjustment switch and/or how to I make adjust it? I, too, have a 96 280
to clarify, I want the firmest of firm shifts possible.
