Canceling

To cancel the cruise control, briefly push lever to
position 3.

When you step on the brake pedal or the vehicle
speed drops below approx. 19 mph (30 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
Center as soon as possible.

4

Resume

If the lever is briefly pushed to position 4 when
driving at a speed exceeding approx. 19 mph
(30 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 electronic key in the steering lock is turned to
position 1 or 0.

Important!

Moving gear selector lever to position “N” switches the
cruise control off.

Warning!

Only use the cruise control if the traffic and
weather conditions make it advisable to travel at a
steady speed.

• The use of cruise control can be dangerous on

winding roads or in heavy traffic because
conditions do not allow safe driving at a steady
speed.

• The use of cruise control can be dangerous on

slippery roads. Rapid changes in tire adhesion
can result in wheel spin and loss of control.

The “Resume” function should only be operated if
the driver is fully aware of the previously set speed
and wishes to resume this particular preset speed.
