Mercedes-Benz E 300 1996 Emergency Operation - Manual (Page 3)

78
Notes:
If the engine does not brake the vehicle
sufficiently while driving on a downgrade,
the speed you set on the cruise control
may be exceeded and you may have to
step on the brake pedal to slow down. As
soon as the grade eases, the cruise
controlled speed will again be maintained
as long as the brakes were not previously
applied, or the lever may be used to re-
sume the previously set speed if the
brakes were applied.
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.
