If your Mercedes S550 has a dead battery and you need to shift it into neutral, you can do so using the manual override feature. Since the gear selector system in the S550 is electronic, Mercedes has included an override system for such situations. Begin by removing the cover from the center console with a pry tool or small screwdriver to access the override switch. Press down firmly on the switch to shift the transmission into neutral, allowing you to move the car out of traffic or onto a tow truck for battery replacement.
There is no manual option to switch the S550 to neutral if the battery is dead; it requires jump-starting to resolve.
My battery is charged up. The indicator light was lit up before, but not anymore. I can't shift into neutral to drive the car. What should I do in this situation?
Just like dinosaurs, assistance is needed.
Hi, I have a 2008 S5 and I don't know how to shift it into neutral to move the car. It's currently stuck on the road.
