Mercedes-Benz E 320 1994 Owner's Manual page 77

Note:
If the engine does not brake the
vehicle sufficiently while driving on
a downgrade, the speed you set
on the cruise control may be ex­
ceeded 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 resume the previously set
speed if the brakes were applied.
Caution!
When driving with the cruise
control, the transmissison selector
lever must not be shifted to
position " N" as otherwise the
engine will overrev, possibly
causing engine damage that is not
covered by the Mercedes-Benz
Limited Warranty.
Warning!
Only use the cruise control if
the traffic and weather condi­
tions make it advisable to
travel at a steady speed.
• The use of cruise control
can be dangerous on wind­
ing 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 slip­
pery 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.
