The last speed set is stored for later use. i The last stored set speed is canceled when the engine is turned off. 243 Controls in detail Driving systems !Vehicles with automatic transmission*: Setting the automatic transmission to N while driving cancels the cruise control. However, the gear selector lever should not be moved to position N while driving except to coast when the vehicle is in danger of skidding (e. g. i Depressing the accelerator pedal does not deactivate the cruise control. for passing), the cruise control will resume the last speed set. Setting a higher speed Warning! G Briefly lift the cruise control lever to the resistance point in direction of arrow 1 ( page 242). Adjustment in 5 mph (Canada: 10 km/h) increments If you increase the set vehicle speed, keep in mind that it may take a brief moment until the vehicle has reached the set speed. Increase the set vehicle speed to a value that the prevailing road conditions and legal speed limits permit. Otherwise, sudden and unexpected acceleration of the vehicle could cause an accident and/or serious injury to you and others. i The set speed value is increased in 5 mph (Canada: 10 km/h) increments each time you lift the cruise control lever up past the resistance point. Briefly lift the cruise control lever past the resistance point in direction of arrow 1 ( page 242). The vehicle set speed increases in increments 5 mph (Canada: 10 km/h). You can increase the set speed in two ways. Adjustment in 1 mph (Canada: 1 km/h) increments i The set speed value is increased in 1 mph (Canada: 1 km/h) increments each time you lift the cruise control lever up to the resistance point. i The new speed is set and the vehicle will accelerate. Keep in mind that it may take a brief moment until the vehicle has reached the set speed. 244 Controls in detail Driving systems Setting a lower speed Warning!Adjustment in 1 mph (Canada: 1 km/h) increments Release the cruise control lever. The vehicle set speed decreases in increments 5 mph (Canada: 10 km/h). G i The set speed value is decreased in 1 mph (Canada: 1 km/h) increments each time you press the cruise control lever down to the resistance point. If you decrease the set vehicle speed, keep in mind that it may take a brief moment until the vehicle has the vehicle has reached the set speed. Decelerate the set vehicle speed to a value that the prevailing road conditions and legal speed limits permit. Otherwise, sudden and unexpected deceleration of the vehicle could cause an accident and/or serious injury to you and others. i The new speed is set and the vehicle will decelerate. Keep in mind that it may take a brief moment until the vehicle has reached the set speed. Briefly press the cruise control lever down to the resistance point in direction of arrow 2 ( page 242). Adjustment in 5 mph (Canada: 10 km/h) increments Setting to last stored speed ("Resume" function) Warning! G You can reduce the set speed in two ways. i When you use the cruise control lever to decelerate, the brake system will automatically brake the vehicle if the engine's braking power does not brake the vehicle sufficiently. i The set speed value is decreased in 5 mph (Canada: 10 km/h) increments each time you press the cruise control lever down past the resistance point. The set speed stored in memory should only be set again if prevailing road conditions permit. Possible acceleration or deceleration differences arising from returning to the preset speed could cause an accident and/or serious injury to you and others. Briefly press the cruise control lever down past the resistance point in direction of arrow 2 ( page 242). 245 Controls in detail Driving systems Briefly pull the cruise control lever in the direction of arrow 4 ( page 242). The cruise control resumes to the last set speed or if no speed is stored, it will set and store the current speed. The last set speed appears in the multifunction display for approximately 5 seconds, and the corresponding speedometer segments from the selected speed to the vehicle maximum speed are illuminated. Hill start assist system Slowly release the clutch pedal, removing your foot from the brake pedal at the same time, and carefully depress the accelerator pedal.

If you are not sure about the water quality, consult an authorized Mercedes-Benz Center. !Adding water and MB 325. 0 Anticorrosion/Antifreeze separately from each other, could cause engine damage not covered by the Mercedes-Benz Limited Warranty. If the antifreeze mixture is effective to -22°F (-30°C), the boiling point of the coolant in the pressurized cooling system is reached at approximately 266°F (130°C). 484 Technical data Fuels, coolants, lubricants, etc. Anticorrosion/antifreeze Your vehicle contains a number of aluminum parts. The use of aluminum components in motor vehicle engines necessitates that anticorrosion/antifreeze coolant used in such engines be specifically formulated to protect the aluminum Anticorrosion/antifreeze quantity Model C 300 C 350 Approx.
