Cruise Control
Any given speed above
approximately 25 mph (40 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
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 con­
trol lever in the appropriate direc­
tion for increases or decreases in
1 km/h (0.6 mph) increments.
When the lever is released, the
newly set speed remains.
3 Canceling
To cancel the cruise control,
briefly push lever to position 3.
When you step on the brake
pedal or the vehicle speed falls
below approx. 25 mph
(40 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.
4 Resume
If the lever is briefly pulled to
position 4 when driving at a
speed exceeding approximately
25 mph (40 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.
