Cruise Control - Mercedes-Benz 190 E 2.3 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
switch.
1 Setting (touch switch)
Accelerating (hold switch)
2 Setting (touch switch)
Decelerating (hold switch)
Normally the vehicle is accelerated to
the desired speed with the accelerator.
Speed is set by briefly pushing the
switch to position 1 or 2, and the ac­
celerator 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 resumed
automatically.
If a set speed is to be increased or
decreased slightly, e.g. to adapt to the
traffic flow, retain switch in position 1
or 2 until the desired speed is reached.

When the switch is released, the newly
set speed remains.
3 Cancelling
To cancel the cruise control, briefly
push lever to position 3.
The cruise control will also be can­
celled if the brake or clutch pedal is
actuated or if the vehicle speed
drops below approx. 40 km/h/
25 mph.
4 Resume
If the lever is briefly pushed to po­
sition 4 when driving at a speed
exceeding approximately 40 km/h/
25 mph, that speed is resumed
which was set prior to the cancella­
tion of the cruise control. The last
memorized speed is cancelled
when the key in the steering lock is
turned to position 1 orO.
Important:
Only use the cruise control if the traffic
conditions make it advisable to travel at
a steady speed.
Position " Resume" should be engaged
only if the driver is fully aware of the
previously set speed and wishes to
resume this particular preset speed.
In the case of manual transmissions
the vehicle maximum speed in the indi­
vidual gears should not be exceeded.
See line markings on the speedometer.
In the case of automatic transmissions
the selector lever must not be shifted
to position " N " when driving with the
cruise control engaged as otherwise
the engine will overrev.
