Agility Select Function - GF32.00-P-0003RF
Model 205
up to model year 2016
with code B59 (AGILITY SELECT)
AGILITY SELECT, function (except AMG vehicles)
The AGILITY SELECT function integrates essential vehicle systems which determine the handling characteristics. This affects the electric steering, AIRMATIC ECO start/stop function, climate control and drivetrain of the vehicle. The speed dependent-support of the steering, the automatic transmission shift points and the accelerator pedal curve are influenced here, among others.
The following transmission modes are available:
- ECO
- Comfort
- Sport
- SPORT PLUS
- Individual
Via the AGILITY SELECT switch (N72/4s1) (with automatic transmission) or the AGILITY SELECT switch (N72/5s7) (with manual transmission) the driver can choose between the different preconfigured transmission modes and an "individual transmission mode". The driver chooses his/her transmission mode by operating the AGILITY SELECT switch and receives operation feedback in the instrument cluster (A1). The set transmission mode is shown as a status icon in the instrument cluster. The current settings are also briefly shown on the Audio/COMAND display (A40/8). The head unit (A26/17) generates the signal for display in the Audio/COMAND display and sends a low voltage differential signal (LVDS).
The signal of the AGILITY SELECT switch is read in by the lower control panel at the left (N72/4) (with automatic transmission) or by the lower control panel at the right (N72/5) (with manual transmission). The lower control panel at the left or the lower control panel at the right sends the signal over the LCP LIN (LIN A3), Audio/COMAND control panel (A40/9), telematics CAN (CAN A), head unit, user interface CAN (CAN HMI), electronic ignition lock control unit (N73) and the chassis FlexRay (Flex E) to the Electronic Stability Program control unit (N30/4).
The Electronic Stability Program control unit puts the information for the chosen transmission mode on the chassis FlexRay. The control units relevant for the new transmission mode receive the information and switch to the stored parameters for the particular transmission mode.
The preconfigured parameters are listed in the following table.
| ECO | Comfort | Sport | SPORT PLUS | Individual | Remarks | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Steering | Comfort | Comfort | Sport | Sport | Comfort/Sport | The level of support for the electric power steering is reduced in the Sport and Sport Plus transmission mode. |
| Drive

ECO (Comfort) (On) (On) | Comfort (Comfort) (off) (On) | Sport (Sport) (off) (off) | Sport(S) (off) (off) | Eco/Comfort/Sport/Sport Plus/M | On model 205 (with automatic transmission, except AMG vehicles), the manual shifting mode is included in the individual transmission mode. |
| ECO start-stop | On | On | On | Off | On/Off | |
| Chassis | Comfort | Comfort | Sport | SPORT PLUS | Comfort/Sport/Sport Plus | |
| Climate control | ECO | Comfort | Comfort | Comfort | Eco/Comfort |
When the transmission mode is changed, the appropriate settings valid for the selected transmission mode are made.
As the ESP® Off function is not part of the AGILITY SELECT transmission modes, the setting is not affected by a change of transmission mode.
When the vehicle is parked, the transmission mode is stored for up to 4 hours (Last Mode). After 4 hours, the Comfort transmission mode is automatically set.
The Last Mode function is not supported in vehicles with code 494 (USA version).
DYNAMIC SELECT function (with AMG vehicles)
The DYNAMIC SELECT function integrates essential vehicle systems which determine the handling characteristics. This affects the vehicle's electric steering, adaptive damping system, ECO start/stop function, the drivetrain, the transmission mode, the ESP®, climate control and the exhaust system (with CODE P30 (AMG Performance Package)). The speed dependent-support of the steering, the automatic transmission shift points and the accelerator pedal curve are influenced here, among others.
The following transmission modes are available:
- Comfort
- Sport
- SPORT PLUS
- Individual
- Race
The driver can choose between the different preconfigured transmission modes and an individual transmission mode through the DYNAMIC SELECT (N72/4s11) switch. The driver chooses his/her transmission mode by operating the DYNAMIC SELECT switch and receives operation feedback in the instrument cluster. The set transmission mode is shown as a status icon in the instrument cluster. The current settings in the Audio/COMAND display are also briefly shown. The head unit generates the signal for display in the Audio/COMAND display and sends a low voltage differential signal.
The signal of the DYNAMIC SELECT switch is read in by the left lower control panel. The left lower control panel sends the signal over the lower control panel LIN, the Audio/COMAND control panel, the head unit, the user interface CAN, the electronic ignition lock control unit and the chassis FlexRay to the Electronic Stability Program control unit. The Electronic Stability Program control unit puts the information for the chosen transmission mode on the chassis FlexRay. The control units relevant for the new transmission mode receive the information and switch to the stored parameters for the particular transmission mode.
The preconfigured parameters are listed in the following table.
| "Comfort" | "Sport" | "Sport Plus" | "Individual" | "Race" | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Drive (C, S, S+, R) | Comfort | Sport | SPORT PLUS | C, S, S+, R | Race |

| Decel mode (ON, OFF) | On | Off | Off | Depending on "drive" setting | Off |
When the transmission mode is changed, the appropriate settings valid for the selected transmission mode are made.
As the ESP® OFF function is not part of the DYNAMIC SELECT transmission modes, the setting is not affected by a change of transmission mode.
When the vehicle is parked, the transmission mode is stored for up to 4 hours (Last Mode). After 4 hours, the Comfort transmission mode is automatically set.
The Last Mode function is not supported in vehicles with code 494 (USA version).
