That warning certainly did not come from Mother Benz; see attached pic of page from Owner's Manual (2nd Gen W126 V8 w/ 722.3 trans).
"3" reads:
Upshift to 3rd gear only. Suitable
for medium range up or downgrades.
"2" reads:
Upshift to 2nd gear only. For
driving in mountainous regions.
Since transmission will not shift
up further, this gear selection
will make use of the engine's
braking power.
