Now the real question is "How could Merc engineers ever let it get so bad that a reset is necessary ?"
If was hard for this ole' muscle car guy to believe, but it learns your driving style. So if you putter around it will become sluggish. If you drive it like you stole it, it will become more and more responsive. When everyone in the know told me this, I said "ya right!"..... Well, after adding the sprint booster and doing a few throttle resets, it made me a believer. I never putter around with mine when I know I am headed to the track. I do a throttle reset and run the hell out of it.... Remember, MB is all about comfort and smooth, not what we ole' muscle car guys like, which is jarring shifts and all out throttle...
