Mercedes-Benz 350 SDL Owner's Manual page 61

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 exceeded. As
soon as the grade eases, the cruise
controlled speed will again be main­
tained as long as the brakes were not
applied.
If the set speed was sufficiently
exceeded such that the brakes had to
be applied, the cruise control can be
resumed by pulling the lever to
position 4.
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 be­
cause 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.
When driving with the cruise
control, the transmission selec­
tor lever must not be shifted to
position "N" as otherwise the
engine will overrev.
