The cruise control must maintain the preselected speed constant irrespective of the load condition, without the accelerator pedal being operated.

The cruise control function can be actuated from > 40 km/hour using the Cruise control push-button switch. The engine control unit operates the throttle valve actuator for the cruise control function with the aid of the input signals and the position of the cruise control switch.

The cruise control mode is switched off by:

The signals from the push-button switch for the cruise control are detected by the steering column module and transmitted to the CAN data bus.

The speed signal is transmitted by the traction system control unit (ESP) via the CAN to the engine control unit.

IMPORTANT The software for the Cruise control is stored according to model and equipment either in the ESP control unit or in the City Assist System control unit.

Variable speed limiter (VSL), except USA ONLYJAPAN ONLY

Switching in the variable speed limit takes place through pressing the Cruise control push-button switch (yellow light emitting diode lights up).

The vehicle speed limit is set by means of the variable cruise control switch.

IMPORTANT If the braking effect in overrun mode is not sufficient to maintain the speed at a high gradient, a chime will request the driver to brake. Vehicles with Distronic (DTR) are braked.
