BTW, on my C230K W202 I have that 1st gear or 2nd gear switch (W/S). Is it ok to leave it on the 2nd gear start selection all the time or will it lug the engine?

I don't think it is possible to "lug" an engine with an automatic tranny.
FYI, there's more to "W" than just 2nd gear start. On my transmission, the 722.6, the "W" mode is designed for slippery conditions. It does 4 things: Second gear start, earlier shift points, higher reverse gear ratio, and prevents roll-back on steep hills("hill-hold"). You can use either "W" or "S" at any time or all the time. My main use for "W" is the hill-hold feature when driving in SF. It works great
