The fuel mixture isn't changed by pedal position, the injection pump is calibrated to deliver the correct amount of fuel & the intake has no butterfly to control how much air is pulled in. A quick stab to the button with pedal & then backing off will get you going. MB designs trans controls different than anyone else as they build their own transmissions.
