W115 Starts in Drive. Normal?
Normally, that would be a big, fat "no!". But given the ability to push/tow start these old automatic Benzes I have to ask.
It wasn't referenced in the owner's manual but I discovered by accident that mine does, indeed, start in gear.
$150+ for a new one if mine's busted or has been bypassed.
