1995 Mercedes Benz E 320 Sedan (124 chassis) Cruise Control Operation

Cruise control operation. The cruise control system is ready for operation when the ignition is switched on. However, for actual operation, the vehicle speed should be above approx. 40 km/h (approx. 30 mph). As soon as the vehicle is running at the desired speed, touching switch for a short moment in direction of “Accel – Set” or “Decel – Set” will keep this speed constant until the driver engages a different speed or the system is switched off. To adapt this set speed e.g. to the prevailing traffic situation, hold pushbutton switch in direction of “Accel – Set” or “Decel – Set” until the desired speed is attained. On vehicles with new control unit (starting 1/87 phased-in), recognized by coding plug, touching switch in direction of “Accel – Set” or “Decel – Set” will increase or reduce speed by 1 km/h each time. Acceleration of the vehicle proceeds at control speed of 0.7 m/s2. When the switch is released, the new speed will be maintained. When tipping switch in direction of “Off” for a short moment and stepping down on brake pedal or clutch pedal, the cruise control/Tempomat will be switched off and the regulating linkage will move into idle position.
