By Tiptronic do you mean Sequential shifting? If so the Merc transmission works very well by just tapping to the left to go down and tap to the right to go up. Or simply hold the selector to the left and it'll shift all the way down to 1st or hold to the right and up it goes to Drive (Auto select)
So yes it does have a Sequential style of shift control
However if you wish to hold the transmission in one gear it can't be done. This means if you drop it from drive to 3rd it will still go down to 1st at low speed and then only go as high as 3rd as you speed up. I don't think there's a way to hold it in one gear such as 2nd for a take-off while driving in snow. But this is probably not required with QDII traction system anyway.
