2019 Mercedes-Benz GLS550 Transmission Q&A

  • What happens if I "ride" my Mercedes-Benz's brakes? Riding the brakes or keeping your foot on the brake pedal (even lightly) can lead to transmission issues. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Mercedes-Benz GLS550? Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how small. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your GLS550’s towing capacity. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • When should I have my GLS550's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Caring for your Mercedes-Benz GLS550’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. About every 30,000 to 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your transmission fluid inspected and perhaps changed. Service intervals can vary depending on how you use your Mercedes-Benz, so check with your technician first. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Is it possible for transmission fluid to leak from my Mercedes-Benz GLS550? Yes. Mercedes-Benz GLS550 transmission fluid can leak as time passes, which may lead to transmission problems.
