Cruise Control
Any given speed above approxi­
mately 22 mph (35 km/h) can be
maintained with the cruise control
by operating the lever.
1 Accelerate and set:
Lift lever briefly to set speed.
Hold lever up to accelerate.
2 Decelerate and set:
Depress lever briefly to set
speed.
Hold lever down to decelerate.
Normally the vehicle is acceler- 3
ated to the desired speed with the
accelerator.
Speed is set by briefly pushing the
lever to position 1 or 2. The accel­
erator can be released.
The speed can be increased (e.g.
for passing) by using the accelera­
tor. As soon as the accelerator is
released, the previously set speed
will be resumed automatically.
If a set speed is to be increased or
decreased slightly, e.g. to adapt to
the traffic flow, hold lever in posi­
tion
1
or
2
until the desired speed
is reached, or briefly tip the control
4
lever in the appropriate direction
for increases or decreases in
0 . 6
mph
(1
km/h) increments.
When the lever is released, the
newly set speed remains.
Canceling
To cancel the cruise control,
briefly push lever to position 3.
When you step on the brake or
the vehicle speed drops below
approx. 22 mph (35 km/h), for
example when driving upgrade,
the cruise control will be
canceled.
If the cruise control cancels by
itself and remains inoperative
until the engine is restarted,
have the system checked at
your authorized Mercedes-Benz
dealer as soon as possible.
Resume
If the lever is briefly pushed to
position 4 when driving at a
speed exceeding approx.
22 mph (35 km/h), the vehicle
resumes the speed which was
set prior to the cancellation of
the cruise control. The last
memorized speed is canceled
when the key in the steering
lock is turned to position
1
or
0
.
