Cruise Control - Mercedes-Benz 190 E 2.3 1991 Owner's Manual

Cruise Control

Any given speed above approximately
40 km/h (25 mph) 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 accelerated to
the desired speed with the accelera­
tor. Speed is set by briefly pushing the
lever to position 1 or 2. The accelera­
tor can be released.
The speed can be increased (e.g. for
passing) by using the accelerator. As
soon as the accelerator is released,
the previously set speed will be re­
sumed automatically.
If a set speed is to be increased or
decreased slightly, e.g. to adapt to the
traffic flow, hold lever in position 1 or 2
until the desired speed is reached, or
briefly tip the control lever in the
appropriate direction for increases or
decreases in 1 km/h (0.6 mph) incre­
ments. 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 or
clutch pedal or the vehicle speed
falls below approx. 40 km/h
(25 mph), for example when
driving upgrade, the cruise control
will be canceled.
4 Resume
If the lever is briefly pushed to po­
sition 4 when driving at a speed
exceeding approximately 40 km/h
(25 mph), the vehicle resumes the
speed which was set prior to the
cancellation of the cruise control.
The last memorized speed is can­
celed when the key in the steering
lock is turned to position 1 or 0.
