comfort mode jolt

[saff]

Hi

I usually drive my 2006 W211 220 cdi in comfort mode as I like the lazy shift characteristics.

My question concerns when I come to a virtual stop for instance at a roundabout and want to accelerate sharply into a gap. The transmission takes up the drive but then gives a jolt as if its shifted down to 1st. Maybe this is what its doing, does the car normally pull away in 2nd when in comfort mode?

None of this happens when in sport mode however and in either mode the transmission is super smooth with no flaring at all on the up change.

Is this merely a trait of comfort mode or do I have an issue here?

Thanks for any help

Steve

In confort mode the starts with 2nd gear and changes the gear early smoother.your problem is in cold or every time ?

Even when up to operating temp in C mode if one accelerates sharply the box will shift to 1 when pulling away.

Thanks for your replies.

This and other info I've found seems to confirm that this is normal so I'll stop worrying about it.
