yes - you understood correct. Benz which have 2nd gear start will engage first gear when the shifter is put all the way to the lowest position.
OR
put all the way to the lowest position and then put back in D while not moving - that way the trans starts from 1st gear and does 3 shifts do get into 4 gear. In normal driving conditions only 2 shifts occur, 2-3 and 3-4.
